LAST ROUND almost 23,000 Toyota AFL Fantasy Classic coaches picked Braydon Preuss in their squads for a bargain price with many of them deciding to make him an on-field player.
This week, they'll be scrambling for cover as the Giant has been suspended for a week.
With some ‘luck', coaches will have cover with Hugh Dixon performing well for the Eagles last week or the possible inclusion of Jack Hayes if Patrick Ryder if suspended. Sam Hayes may also be called upon if Scott Lycett misses after his shoulder injury.
