Top Two Draft Picks From 2002 Injure Knees
In the 2002 AFL draft, the order was Goddard and then Wells. On the weekend these players were again linked, but with knee injuries. Goddard is out for the rest of this season, Wells did not injure his knee as severely and is expected to be back in a month or so.

From The Age: Goddard hobbled by knee injury
The Age injury report said:
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Wells for Johnstone, Hasleby or Daniel Harris is a trade that could replace him with a similar fantasy centre. These players have been averaging fantasy points that are close to Wells' output, and they are also close to him in price. The Kangaroos will have to bring in some speed to their midfield with Wells out, Campbell should also see more playing time.
Goddard for Sinclair, Hunter or S Fisher might work. Again these players are in the same fantasy position, as well as having similar prices and fantasy points averages. At St Kilda, the Fishers, Gram and Gwilt have stepped up their stats with Hudghton and Maguire out. Gwilt is a bargain buy in fantasy leagues. Birss might keep his spot in the team now, even when Baker returns, and the Saints could also consider McQualter and Armitage.
