No Cousins. So who will benefit from this???

Chad Flether - should go into the centre
Daniel Kerr - less midfield rotations, perhaps
Tyson Stenglein - could get the chance to do more
Matt Rosa - too expensive to even consider
Matt Priddis - underpriced, an opportunity could arise

Stenglein is so underrated its rediculous!! and with cousins gone who knows what will happen. but his disposal is just not that great. Whats with rosa's price, i would consider him if it didnt cost me and arm.. and a leg. Last year i put faith in stenglein 3 times as captain, everytime he delivered with like 110-140. when you get 10 tackles a game... well its good for dt

SHANNON HURN.

Thats why I picked him, not only has he got the chance to take Nicoski's spot this year as a young player with TREMENDOUS skill, but he now can rotate in the midfield.

Priddis will benefity more than others because he is a Sandover medalist in just his 2nd year at West Coast. Watch him to play more this year.

Hurn and Priddis are almost guaranteed games now. Also the regular midfield group should lift; Kerr, Judd, Braun, Stenglein etc.

How about Rowan Jones?? Bit inconsistent with the stats, but is more than capable out of the middle. Fletcher should benifit, but with his off-field dramas, he could be fairly distracted.

I reckon this is Fletchers chance to get himself right up there alongside judd, cousins and kerr. The past couple of years he's been overshadowed by these other gun midfielders so now if he has a good season, he is certain to be a genuine gun.
