The Traders (afl.com.au) pick their top five Carlton players for NAB AFL Fantasy 2015:
1. Bryce Gibbs (MID) $574,000
Gibbs is a durable midfielder who returned to premium status in 2014. He is capable of big scores and provides a quality option as a point of difference.
2. Marc Murphy (MID) $544,000
Last year, the captain failed to average 100 for the second successive season. He provides value if he can return to his best of past years when he averaged more than 110.
3. Dale Thomas (FWD/MID) $429,000
The former premium showed signs of returning to his best with scores of 115 and 124 late last year. If his ankle woes are behind him, a 90-plus average is not out of the question.
4. Troy Menzel (FWD) $281,000
Menzel is poised to play more midfield time this season and increased opportunity for the former junior midfielder should lead to a significant improvement.
5. Matthew Kreuzer (RUC) $244,000
After averaging a career-high 87 points in 2013, a foot injury restricted the 2007 No. 1 draft pick to just one game last year. While he has had an interrupted pre-season and my have a late start to the year, Kreuzer should be in your plans to pick up as soon as he is back playing in the Navy Blue.
