When he players he’s one of the best defenders going around, but will injuries, suspensions and taggers impact him fantasy season?
#27 Most Relevant: Alex Witherden
He’s one of the most hyped defenders of the preseason, but is it worthwhile excitement or just froth and bubble?
#29 Most Relevant: Kade Simpson
Reliable, Consistent, Durable and just keeps finding a way to get it done. Is Simmo set for another big fantasy season in 2019?
#34 Most Relevant: Zac Williams
Is he the best value of all the mid-price defender? Is he the safest option? Or do better options exist?
#35 Most Relevant: Brodie Smith
The Crows dashing defender was desperately missed for most of 2018, and while for some coaches he’s placed on the ‘never again list’ for the coaches that do select him I can see him playing a valuable role.
#36 Most Relevant: Pearce Hanley
Hopefully we’ve learnt our lesson. Even though his name may be on the ‘never again’ list, Pearce offers supreme fantasy value IF he can get his body right.

He was one of the surprise packet premiums of 2017 but after a sudden fall mid game that was triggered by an irregular heartbeat. Thankfully he’s got the medical all clear and now presents fantasy coaches a real value selection.
#44 Most Relevant: Callum Mills
The time is now for Callum Mills to establish himself as a young star of the game. The good news for him, the Swans and fantasy footy coaches he has been presented with the opportunity.
#47 Most Relevant: Nic Newman
One positive thing comes from injuries and that’s opportunities for others. An injury to Sam Docherty could be a huge fantasy boost for Nic Newman.
