Fantasy Impact: The long term injury news isn’t great for Sheed with the Eagles already under significant injury pressure. Â
The Elliot Yeo injury news will open up an opportunity for heavy midfield usage.
The West Coast midfield requires significant adjustments prior to Round 1.
Expect Andrew Gaff to be used more on the inside while Jack Redden should see moderate to high usage from the experienced group available.Â
