Richmond's Mark Coughlan To Miss 2007
Coughlan won't be playing this season after more problems with his knee. This isn't confirmed but with Coughlan's long-term injury it could likely mean that Howat finds a spot on their senior list.
Read the statement from the Tigers about Coughlan's injury: Slip-up costs Coggo
AFL Fantasy Impact:
If Coughlan was healthy he would have been a very good fantasy player, one of Richmond's best midfielders along with Delidio and Tuck. But now other players will step up, and who gets a spot in the centre square might become apparent during the NAB Cup. Richard Tambling could be the answer and for AFL fantasy he could be a big improver in 2007. Johnson, Foley and Raines could also have better numbers if played more in the middle. Another player to watch is Daniel Connors. He will be an inexpensive first year player for AFL fantasy but if the Tigers play him his fantasy value will increase rapidly, and don't forget Howat if the Tigers elevate him.
