AFL Fantasy News: Geelong Have The Power
It was the biggest obliteration since the bad guys in the movie The Delta Force tried to take on Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin. Like Chuck Norris, the Cats had a lot of kicks and they hit their targets.
The Power seemed to be going along well until the final lineups were announced, with Lade starting on the bench. Whatever the strategy was there didn't work. Ebert did have a couple of shots at goal, he missed and the ball didn't get back down that end very often.
Ottens was an inspiration early in the game, just as John Ironmonger chased down an opponent in the 1989 Reserves Grand Final, Ottens put in the effort and ran down a much faster player. Ottens won the free kick, and Geelong went on to win the game.
The big mark of the game was all about baldness, or maybe boldness should be the term. Tredrea and Harley waited under the ball as Chapman received clearance for takeoff and grabbed it.
Cats 163 - Power 44
Fantasy Player News
Geelong
Corey: Is now a bit underrated as many of his teammates receive individual awards, he again brought in stats with 8 tackles, 13 kicks, 12 handballs and 6 marks.
Chapman: 17 kicks and 4 goals, he was always going to perform in the Grand Final.
Ling: Received 3 free kicks, also had 25 possessions.
S Johnson: 4 goals, 23 possessions and 9 marks.
Scarlett: 29 possessions as he ran off his opponent all game, Scarlett even finished with more scoring shots than Westhoff.
Port Adelaide
K Cornes: 21 handballs, 16 kicks, 10 marks and 2 tackles, the Cornes brothers were always going to get stats.
C Cornes: 32 possessions and a goal,
P Burgoyne: 36 possessions, 5 marks, 6 tackles and 4 frees for, he would have been on most fantasy teams and he produced for them.
Chaplin: He had the ball a lot, his 25 possessions were useful for fantasy teams, but for the Power he was just one of many ineffective players.
Wakelin: He now knows why Lynch decided to get something out of a Grand Final loss with his fists, Wakelin had 9 kicks and 5 handballs in his final game.
Geelong now have to look at contracts, and while a parade through the city there is scheduled for Wednesday there will also be a parade of player managers and their increased demands. The Cats should be able to keep everyone they want, although King may be one they let go to find money for younger players. If King does go, he could be in black and white stripes next season.
Port Adelaide lose Wakelin, and there would also be questions about Wilson continuing. Most of their stars are under contract. They will now go into planning for trading and the drafts, and if they want to add another Ebert to their side they will need to be involved during trade week to acquire a higher pick.
A draft preview starts on the site tomorrow.
