Great News for those that have Zach Merrett as a Round 1 target, although he wasn’t in full training today the fact that he has a short turnaround from an ankle sprain is important.

There has been no word on a direct replacement for the midfield role that has opened up at Fremantle, it is wide open for such players as Andrew Brayshaw, Adam Cerra & Ed Langdon himself.
“We’re still spoilt for choice with our young midfielders coming through.. I think there’s a lot of players that can take that inside mid role” Ed Langdon on a Connor Blakely replacement.

The want for an even spread of midfielders by Chris Fagan could be good for Dayne Zorko raising his points floor in 2019, he was tagged in multiple games last season.

Zorko averaged 96.4pts in AFL Fantasy & 95.8pts in SuperCoach in 2018.
