AFL Fantasy coaches will have a number of names on their list from the Bombers when selecting their team for the 2014 season.
With Scott Gumbleton and Stewart Crameri leaving the club in the off-season young forward Joe Daniher is at a strong value of $249,700 considering the amount of football he is likely to play.
Jackson Merrett will be looking to build on his 13 games during 2013 and with his ability to make the most of every possession he provides solid value at $272,700.
Paul Chapman ($403,800), Ben Howlett ($405,900) and Nick Kommer ($283,500) all possess the option of playing as a forward or midfield in the 2014 Fantasy season.
If Chapman manages to play regular football throughout the season expect him to score big with his ability to kick a bag of goals.
