Wallace Not Expecting Troy Simmonds To Play
Another update on Troy Simmonds’ injury, he is very unlikely to be there for round 1. Coach Wallace now says he expects him back in a few weeks, possibly with a VFL game or two to prepare him.
From The Age: Tiger ruckman to miss
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Nothing new to this and fantasy coaches will need to wait until the team is named to see if a new fantasy ruckman emerges. If the Tigers share the ruck duties with Simmonds out, possibly playing both Knobel and Pattison, it may not give either player enough time to accumulate stats. Knobel also has some injury concerns so possibly the Tigers just go with Pattison, he might get enough fantasy points to make him value at his price, especially if he plays a bit like Simmonds and drifts forward to kick a goal or two.
