Fantasy Player News
Geelong
Kelly: An inconsistent player, he is having a good run of games and finished with 33 possessions.
Ling: Often a stopping role is bad for fantasy points, but Ling has been good recently and had 28 disposals here.
Bartel: He is now the most expensive player, he had 28 possessions, 10 tackles and 3 frees for.
Tenace: A big improvement with 28 possessions, if he does it again then he is a player to sign.
Rooke: The Jared version might have been better for fantasy points, this new Max had 3 kicks and 9 handballs.
Fremantle
Johnson: 18 kicks and 9 marks, he is going to be a good player for his current fantasy price.
Hayden: 25 possessions and 5 marks.
Solomon: 12 possessions and also 13 tackles, is having a surprising fantasy season with his new team.
Bell: 22 possessions and 3 goals.
Crowley: Not an expensive fantasy player, he had 19 possessions 7 marks and 8 tackles.
Mal Michael came away with a big win. Michael was one of several defenders who made sure that Brown didn't get a lot of goals, but Brisbane were not able to effectively use the free players this tactic created.

Essendon
Fletcher: Always looks to kick the ball, he did that 20 times which brought in plenty of fantasy points.
Stanton: Worth his big price, he had 21 possessions, 8 marks and a goal.
Watson: Not one of the first picked for Essendon, but he does help fantasy teams, he had 29 disposals.
McVeigh: A big mover in fantasy value, it could increase a bit more after 21 possessions and 10 marks.
M Johnson: He wasn't bringing in a lot of fantasy points but had 23 possessions and 7 marks here.
Brisbane
Selwood: A big surprise for his first game of the season, he is very affordable right now, he had 35 disposals.
Lappin: 24 possessions and 8 marks.
Hadley: Still a huge fantasy bargain, he had 29 possessions and will keep going up in value.
Brown: Even when he has to battle several defenders he can still get fantasy points, he had 9 marks and 19 disposals.
Drummond: He isn't cheap to sign, but after 21 possessions and a goal he is worth his current price.
This was not a game you would want in your DVD collection, unless you were one of three Saints who played their first game last night against the Hawks. Both teams struggled in the first half, but Hawthorn got the win as they had a much better second half.

Hawthorn
Mitchell: Another big game, 35 possessions and 9 marks.
Crawford: 28 possessions and 9 marks, is consistent with large fantasy points.
Bateman: He's been in and out of the team due to injuries but was back running again, he had 13 kicks.
Guerra: 21 kicks and 13 marks.
Smith: Didn't have a big game, 11 possessions.
St Kilda
L Fisher: Had his usual numbers, and also Gram's who missed the game, 32 possessions and 18 marks.
S Fisher: 21 possessions and 12 marks.
Harvey: He keeps going, 25 disposals.
Gwilt: A very underrated fantasy defender, 19 possessions and 8 marks.
Armitage: 9 possessions and 4 tackles in his first ever game, he should remain in their team.
This game had a lot more scoring, some of the Kangaroos' goals came from free kicks as the Blues were often undersized in the back line. Waite started forward, O'hAilpin was again in the ruck, this left Lappin and Houlihan exposed against the stronger forwards. Corey Jones had 3 or 4 opponents in the first quarter, while Lindsay Thomas has now adjusted his sights and is kicking them between the big posts, Brown and Petrie provided the big targets while Edwards again marked strongly.
