Richmond’s Brown Named In Team But Won’t Play
Nathan Brown had a big preseason but with his leg troubling him again he will miss round 1, and possibly another week too.
News from the Herald Sun newspaper: Leg blow for Tiger Brown
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Richmond’s N Brown was a fantasy sleeper when the fantasy prices were announced. With his preseason form he was going to be a good player to sign, and many people did sign him up. Luckily for fantasy coaches the late withdrawal was mentioned early so fantasy teams can be adjusted. Two players to consider are his Richmond teammates, Pettifer and Krakouer. One of Collingwood’s forwards, Thomas or Medhurst, is at a similar price to Brown. Jared Brennan, Brad Miller, Andrew McDougall and Lance Franklin are more options. In the short term, Richmond’s Pattison or Schulz might be solid fantasy players. An idea could be to play Pattison, as a fantasy forward, for a couple of weeks and then when Simmonds returns it could also be when Nathan Brown is ready to go and Pattison could be traded for Brown.
