AFL Fantasy News: Hawthorn Too Big and Too Good With Franklin and Roughead
Sydney started the game like the Australian soccer team does, quickly down a couple of goals and their players seemed disinterested. The Swans then turned things around and played the rest of the game at the level they will need to be at when they go to play the Eagles.

Sydney
Everitt: 30 total hitouts, 4 goals, 9 marks and 11 kicks.
Schneider: A player to think about signing, he had 3 goals and 24 disposals.
Kirk: 2 goals and 26 possessions provided a lot of fantasy points.
Jolly: 10 kicks, 7 marks and a goal as Jolly as found fantasy points against Carlton's ruckmen.
Hall: 11 kicks, 6 marks and 4 goals, it wasn't a great game for fantasy points as he gave away 4 free kicks.
Carlton
Fisher: 8 marks and 3 goals as he keeps getting fantasy points.
Waite: Still got the ball, 19 possessions, despite playing a lot of the time at full back.
Bentick: 10 tackles helped along his fantasy points, he also had 12 disposals.
O'hAilpin: Again used as a ruckman/forward, he kicked a goal and also received 2 frees.
Fevola: 2 goals and 4 behinds, he is going to worry fantasy coaches who have him in their teams.
Richmond kept it close for a while, until Roughead, Franklin and Lewis took over. The Tigers might have expected to have an edge in the ruck but Campbell and Taylor were too big, and they were useful around the ground too against the more mobile Simmonds.
