AFL Fantasy News: Geelong Has The SuperCats Back
Gary Ablett dominated, Nathan Ablett somersaulted and the Cats ran over the previously unbeaten Eagles. Geelong was too big in the forward line with Mooney, Ottens, N Ablett and Johnson scoring multiple goals. Stokes, G Ablett and Varcoe provided the pace to complement the big guys. Ling was very effective against Kerr, and one of the reasons that the Eagles lost was that Kerr had no influence on the game.

Fantasy Player News
Geelong
Scarlett: 17 kicks and 3 free kicks for, one of the better full backs for stats.
Mooney: 20 possessions, 10 marks and 4 goals. Geelong's most consistent fantasy forward/ruckman.
Bartel: One of the best fantasy players, similar to Scotland as he gets a lot of the ball around half back.
Ottens: 20 possessions, splitting time up forward and in the ruck.
N Ablett: 3 goals and 13 possessions.
West Coast
Hansen: 14 marks and 3 goals, scoring more goals this season and is a better fantasy forward because of it.
Priddis: 25 possessions and a goal as he continues to be a fantasy steal for those who signed him early.
Rosa: 20 kicks and 13 marks, but he did give away 4 free kicks.
Wirrpanda: 31 possessions and 9 marks, he can play at either end and get a lot of fantasy points.
Waters: 20 kicks and 13 marks.
Melbourne hit the lead again, with only minutes to go, but that first win eluded them once more. The Bulldogs needed some vintage Akermanis to get over the line as he had a big last quarter.
Bulldogs 112 - Demons 106

Western Bulldogs
Hahn: Right now, as a fantasy midfielder, he might be too expensive. He kicked 2 goals in this game.
Johnson: 21 possessions and 4 goals, back among the best for fantasy points.
Akermanis: 13 kicks, 7 marks. Akermanis will be helping fantasy teams soon.
Street: The Bulldogs' ruck setup is not set yet, big Street had 22 hitouts and 10 possessions.
Cooney: 8 tackles added some fantasy points to his 18 possessions and a goal.
Melbourne
Bate: 19 possessions, Bate should continue to help fantasy teams.
Sylvia: 20 possessions, 10 marks and 9 goals.
White: 22 possessions, once again is one of the top fantasy ruckmen.
Green: No injury problems, he had 2 goals and 19 possessions.
Holland: May not have a regular spot with Melbourne's season gone, but when he plays he gets the ball, he had 17 disposals.
During the first quarter Coach Connolly might have been thinking about the number of boxes he would require to clean out his office, as the Dockers quickly fell behind to a determined Hawthorn. Something changed in the second quarter and the Dockers got back into the game. If it wasn't for the 4 goals from Campbell, an unexpected contribution, the Dockers would not have won.

Fremantle
Campbell: Kicked 4 goals, a cheaper fantasy forward to keep a watch on.
Tarrant: Had 18 kicks, 10 marks and 2 goals.
Crowley: 23 possessions and 12 marks, playing better than expected for stats.
Black: 32 possessions, 11 kicks and 6 tackles.
Sandilands: Great for hitouts, especially for the total hitouts stat, he had 30 of those.
Hawthorn
Murphy: An unexpected player to think about signing for fantasy teams, he had 12 kicks, 8 marks and a goal.
Moss: 10 possessions and 6 marks in his first AFL game, unlikely to be a regular as the Hawks have several other young stars in the VFL at the moment.
Mitchell: 31 possessions, 9 marks and 5 tackles.
Boyle: Boiling hot, one of the bargain buys of the fantasy year, he kicked 3 goals.
Hodge: 27 possessions and 9 marks.
