Wiggins Ready To Dive In
The 2000 AFL draft for Carlton was loaded with busts. Livingston, Sporn, Campbell and O’Keefe were horrible selections. Their last pick, Callan Beasy, wasn’t that bad. One player from that draft class is still at the club, Simon Wiggins who was pick 15. It would seem that he is on his last chance there.
Things may actually be looking up for Wiggins, as there is a big hole at half forward for Carlton. He might be able to cement a role as a mini-centre half forward, like The Porpoise at Adelaide.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Wiggins has the ability to get a lot of worthless possessions, and marks 70m out on the boundary, but for fantasy stats that can be a good thing. Carlton could have a bit of trouble at centre half forward, with Whitnall and Kennedy gone, and Wiggins will keep presenting as a secondary option for Carlton to retain possession of the ball. That might add up to a big fantasy season if he does win a spot in the team.

With plenty of positions up for grabs as the club enters a new era, a fit Wiggins is eyeing a spot across half-forward or on a wing, but admits he’ll be happy to slot in anywhere the coach wants him to play as the Blues march into 2008.
“It’s been hard being at a club that has been so successful and then being there for the most unsuccessful period for a club that’s been around for over a hundred years.
