AFL FANTASY TAKE
Jesse Hogan is questionable to be available for Round 2, Sam Sturt is also dealing with a back complaint & now Cam McCarthy will undergo further tests in order to be deemed fit to return to training.
Mat Taberner will be the key forward along with Rory Lobb based on the health also for Sean Darcy in Round 2, the troubled forward mix at Fremantle may result in Michael Walters spending more time forward.
McCarthy did play a wing/half-forward type role in Round 1, Blake Acres, David Mundy & Nathan Wilson are expected to be available for the Dockers in Round 2.
McCarthy is not considered an option in season long fantasy.
