AFL FANTASY TAKE
After resuming with the side in Round 7 DeGoey now faces a lengthy stint on the sidelines, Mason Cox may be an option to return but he has under performed this season which leaves the possibility that Darcy Cameron may be an option.
DeGoey has been used in the midfield this season but in Round 7 played as a key target in the forward line, Steele Sidebottom is set to resume in Round 9 from suspension. Over the next few weeks there may be several player roles that could change at the Magpies.
