AFL Fantasy News: Corey Was Like Carey
Thousands of people would have wanted to change their tips upon learning that Mitchell and Franklin were not playing. Without their midfield leader and star forward, Hawthorn couldn't get anything going as they spent the day handballing to each other. The Kangaroos had the right idea as they kicked long, they got the ball up forward as quick as they could and Corey Jones did the rest.
Kangaroos 108 - Hawks 71
Fantasy Player News
Kangaroos
Jones: 7 goals, a big return from a medium forward, and extra fantasy points with 16 kicks, 6 marks and 3 frees for.
Harris: 27 possessions, 8 marks and 8 tackles, he should get stats like these more often than he does.
McIntosh: 26 possessions, 5 marks and 3 frees for as he gets back to All-Australian form.
Whyman: Interesting stats, 2 kicks for 2 goals, if only he had 10 kicks and the same ratio of kicks to goals.
Smith: 22 possessions, 5 marks, 2 tackles and 2 frees for.
Hawthorn
Vandenberg: Back in the team, probably doesn't do a lot for fantasy teams as he had 20 possessions but only 5 were kicks.
Birchall: Doesn't play bad games in Tasmania, he had 24 disposals and 7 marks.
Lewis: Some were displeased that Mitchell and Franklin weren't playing, he might have been one of them, although he also found time to get 34 possessions.
Murphy: He was productive for fantasy points earlier in the year, he only had 10 possessions here.
Young: Played well in the space there and finished with 13 kicks, 11 handballs and 6 marks.
Maybe they should explain again why the coach had to go, Essendon had a very important win and are back in the top 8.

Essendon
Peverill: 35 possessions and 7 marks,
Stanton: 21 kicks, he is their midfield fantasy star.
McPhee: 19 kicks and 11 marks, also good for fantasy points.
Gumbleton: Fantasy coaches won't want to sign him this year, although he could be good next year, he only had 3 kicks here.
Lloyd: 5 goals and 3 frees for, back in the fantasy points and the Coleman race.
Adelaide
Burton: He had 4 goals and 9 marks, he is on the "sign now" list for fantasy games at the moment.
Thompson: 30 possessions but didn't find the goals like he usually does.
Bock: 24 possessions and 12 marks, this was supposed to be a big year for him and fantasy points and it could still happen.
Gill: 13 possession, 7 marks, 2 frees for and 4 tackles in his first game so he should keep his spot in the team.
Campbell: 8 disposals and 4 marks, the Crows have a lot of other small options so he won't have a big role.
Possibly Melbourne are getting ready for round 22, while the Power are getting ready for September's finals. Chad Cornes and Brett Ebert combined for more goals than the entire Melbourne side.

Cassisi: 30 possessions, 7 marks and 4 tackles as he consistently puts together some huge games.
Ebert: 17 kicks, 9 marks and 6 goals provided a large amount of fantasy points.
C Cornes: Might be the AFL fantasy player of the year, he had 6 goals and 11 marks in this game.
Carlile: He has been a good defender but quiet for stats, in this game he got the ball more with 17 possessions.
Surjan: Like a Surjan, fantasy coaches certainly do after 24 disposals and 7 marks.
Melbourne
Green: 28 possessions and 2 goals, one of the more dependable Melbourne players for fantasy points.
White: Always useful as a fantasy ruckman, he had 15 possessions and 6 marks.
Brown: 27 possessions and 8 marks, Brown is great for fantasy points as long as he keeps his spot in the team.
Newton: 2 goals but only 3 marks, he could be useful for fantasy teams in the remaining weeks.
Frawley: It doesn't look like he will star in fantasy this season, he had 6 kicks in this game.
