PLENTY of drama faced AFL Fantasy coaches throughout the Easter weekend.
It all started before the first ball-up on Thursday as Nick Daicos was a late out after failing a fitness test on a corked calf. All eyes will be on the premium midfielder for the Pies’ Gather Round game on Friday against Fremantle.
Sunday evening saw coaches on the edge of their seats, sweating on the fitness of Tim English. He went off with a knee injury and returned in the third quarter only to be mothballed for the rest of the match.
The club has confirmed he has a MCL injury and will miss Gather Round.
