NEWS: Brent Staker and Hamish McIntosh
EARLY FANTASY INJURY BLOW
Just when you thought you had your team looking set folks…
News is in that Brent Staker has gone under the knife for a knee and will miss the next six weeks. Brent is one of the most heavily locked in players of pre season 2013. I can tell you right now that there will be fantasy coaches from all corners bailed up on their computers this evening looking for a suitable AFL Supercoach and/or AFL Fantasy replacement.
The other news is that big Cat Hamish McIntosh has also bunged his knee and his pre season is up the creek. The BIG Fantasy story here is the fact that young Nathan Vardy must now look a much more likely prospect as a mid priced ruckman being the next ruckman in line at sleepy hollow.
Old Jock is here for you folks. The Jock Reynolds Fantasy Footy Community is here to help you through these times of turmoil in all of our lives. If you’re looking for a replacement for Staker and/or Big Hame have a gander at the latest mid priced cheat sheet which was released last weekend…
Over to my beloved community with a poll:

I like to think outside the box mate and I'm going for Sierakowski from nth. No dpp though so I'm now giving creedence to a broughton/watts swing set. What's that? Watts you say? Yes I do. Last 4 seasons average 26,53,75,85 – he's building a hill old boy.
Had some $ left, so I quickly swapped him out for Shannon Brynes. Still might trade him back in as a bench player to replace a rookie though.
I reckon Byrnes is looking a fairly solid option at the moment. Macaffer is probably the most obvious swap being the same price.
Thats what the mad irishman was thinking – could be a smokie rookie out their somewhere too, lets have a look at the NAB and see what happens
Have to see what the dees line up is first and how the play. Byrnes might only be a bit part player, even if he's on the field!
Hi Jock,
I have Staker in my backline so who is someone I can replace him with? I also have $29,000 cash left over.
Thanks
I'd get Sam Docherty from Brisbane
There goes my DEF/FWD swing set… interested in Vardy now though
I need a dpp to replace staker .. Any ideas
was looking at tom williams from western bulldogs….
any thoughts anyone
You would be silly to keep him because, 6 weeks whats that round 1 or 2, with the new amount of trades if he performs in his first 3 rounds you could always snatch hum up for someone else who has struggled. Biggest killer for me is Big Mac. Lucky i had big cox in the fwd line though.
What a kick in the staker. Any chance round one?
Introducing vlads to my backline.
So is Berger to r1 and vardy to r2 viable?
Cheers
Is vardy guarenteed playing time or more importantly ruck sc points assuming he’s #2 behind west?
Replacing him with Tim Sumner. Remember hearing that he was set for rd 1 this year as GC were very impressed with him.
can anyone put up a case in keeping Staker (could be back round 2?)
can't see it myself but as everyone is jumping off, could it be one of those brave moves to hold tight?
Or to stupid to consider?
(just trying to put up an alternative view)
cheers
Nah, Staker is too injury prone and may be back even later knowing his injury luck. Move on I reckon.
Nice suggestion Jibmo but I'll leave him alone now.. a bit too damaged now
what are peoples thoughts on s gilbert from the saints to replace staker.
with goddard out he prob will be rotated through the midfield from the backline and get more possessions…
please tell me your thoughts..
Gday there rexinator.. I like how you're thinking mate.. where there's a vacuum there must be a player that comes in to fill it up. Bloody like your thinking and very unique suggestion. If you are looking at a left field St Kilda option I'd prefer you have a sneaky gander at Jarryn Geary, not real sold on Gilbert ya know?
hi jock old mate hope all is well..
geary hey, I have not looked at him yet, I will watch his movement through the nab cup.. I cant wait for the nab cup, very excited indeed.
Need a fwd replacement for staker – already have Varcoe, Byrnes, macaffer, & lee. There seems to be a real shortage of decent cheap fwds, hopefully someone pops up in the Nab cup.
Hey Jock, I'm paranoid u guys didn't receive my rego for the Premier League. Can ya help a brother out, inbox is empty.
Looks like Bock is out as well for first couple rounds as well.
Staker was in def line of the KrakeKats I will more then likely change him out to WBD Goodes or worst case senario hold him
bock, staker and gray…..all look like they wont make the round 1 start line.
This, my friends, is why Jock has been warning us so often about the player returning from LTI.
Who's next? Ball, LeCras, Embley, varcoe, mccaffer, kennedy?
almost a certainty that one of these boys will have a further setback.
cheers.
Hang on, Robbie Gray from port is out too???
gray is a question mark for round 1…more likely round 3…..same with Bock and now same as Staker.
cheers
Fantastic comment Jimbo.. just posed this very question to the folk over on the facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jock-Reynolds-Fanta…
thanks mate.
going mummy and varcoe only at this stage with the hope that Hodge will be a healthy target around mid year.
cheers.
need some help looking for a more expensive for middle – thinking of wines, koby stevens, vlaustin, taylor garner and even troy menzel. Would love suggestions thanks.
Someone help a brother out! Who’s some good forward rookie options that are round 1 certain???
Missing the next 6 weeks? That means 1/2 weeks H/A.Has to be kept surely.
Stop wasting your time with rejects, they rarely deliver. Would you eat a fish that John west rejected? The only way to win this is to go premiums and 100k rookies I.e. Horsley, McDonald, D.Swallow, Bugg, J.Cameron, A.Kennedy. D.Shiel, D.Smith.
It's 2013…
Do you think Andy Otten is much chance of getting picked for the Crows? He might be a decent mid-priced defender option.
It's between him and Jenkins though,so it's wait see material (yet again…..)
