AFL Fantasy News: Chad Cornes and McLeod Had Their Own Football
How did Essendon lose that, it will take up a lot of this week as they go back over the tape. It was one way traffic for most of the first half as Lucas and Lloyd had setup what looked like an easy win. Fevola got going in the second half and Carlton had one of their biggest wins this century.

Fantasy Player News
Carlton
Bentick: 9 tackles were added to his fantasy numbers, also had 14 possessions.
Carrazzo: 23 possessions and 6 tackles.
Fevola: Possibly the best fantasy player of the round, 8 goals and 11 marks.
Murphy: 23 possessions, also had fantasy points with 3 free kicks for.
Fisher: Seems to get under the other team's guard, another big game with 12 kicks and 9 marks.
Scotland: He could be Fantasy Football's MVP, 26 possessions and 9 marks.
Essendon
Lucas: Had 16 possessions in the first half, quiet after that, still a big game for fantasy points.
McPhee: Still playing in a role made for fantasy points, 20 possessions and 9 marks.
Winderlich: A fantasy player that everyone wishes that they had signed, 24 disposals.
Peverill: 25 possessions, including 17 in the first half.
Hird: 29 possessions, but fantasy coaches have to be aware that he might be rested next round.
Dyson: A late replacement, he played just over half the game but had 13 possessions.
The Crows continued on from their game against the Bulldogs and ran past the Power. It was a much closer contest than the score indicated as the Power were inaccurate in front of goal.
Crows 87 - Power 63

Adelaide
Knights: 24 disposals, his fantasy price is going up now.
McLeod: Another 30 possession game, also had 7 marks.
Thompson: 23 possessions, also led his team in tackles with 5.
Welsh: 4 goals, if he is close to that each game he will be a very good forward to have in your fantasy team.
Perrie: 9 marks and 3 goals, keep improving with every game and is now a possible fantasy forward option.
Port Adelaide
C Cornes: 25 kicks, 8 marks, 3 free kicks for, his best game for fantasy points this season.
K Cornes: The usual numbers, 25 possessions.
S Burgoyne: 21 possessions, a typical Burgoyne game, except the kicking at goal.
P Burgoyne: 21 possessions, a typical Burgoyne game.
Lade: Always steps up if Brogan is hurt, so if Brogan does miss next week then trading for Lade is a good option.
Tredrea: Not worth playing in fantasy for this game, should be much better next week.
A big team can beat a quick team, but the Saints also matched the Bulldogs for pace too. Riewoldt will be one the best players in the AFL, and also for fantasy teams, as he is healthy now.

St Kilda
Gram: 24 possessions, a very good game and one he can repeat with the Saints missing some defenders.
Riewoldt: Would have been worth playing in his first game of the season, a lot of fantasy points.
Harvey: 24 disposals and a goal.
Baker: Was even taking contested marks against the Bulldogs, had 15 kicks too.
Fiora: A bit quieter than his first couple of games, 17 disposals and 5 marks.
Jones: Riewoldt's Mini-Me had a solid game with 14 possessions.
Western Bulldogs
West: 29 disposals and 7 marks.
McMahon: His fantasy points were up as the ball was in his area a lot, had 20 kicks.
Johnson: A big game for fantasy points, but could have been bigger as he kicked 3 goals, 4 behinds.
Cross: 29 possessions, more handballs than kicks.
Harris: A useful return for a fantasy full back, not great but had 16 possessions.
It's time for Plan B, or maybe C, at Fremantle as they are still yet to win a a game. The Eagles have moved up to Premiership favourites now.

Judd: You get what you pay for, in fantasy leagues you pay a lot for Judd and you get many fantasy points.
Staker: The return of a couple of big players for the Eagles freed Staker and he had 21 disposals
Armstrong: Unstoppable at times up forward, had 3 goals.
Priddis: 10 kicks and 10 handballs, looks like he will be a regular player for them in 2007.
Braun: 27 possessions.
Fremantle
Grover: He was good, 12 kicks and 8 marks, but it might not continue with Johnson returning soon.
Mundy: 16 kicks and 7 marks, back to his expected level of fantasy points.
Hasleby: What should be his usual return, 24 disposals.
Walker: The Texas Ranger was great, 23 possessions.
