Hawthorn
Hodge: 6 goals, 34 possessions, 5 free kicks received, fantasy teams with him as captain had a good round.

Sewell: 39 possessions and 5 marks, a huge game for fantasy points.
Taylor: 13 possessions and 5 tackles, a big improvement compared to what he normally does.
Western Bulldogs
Gilbee: 17 kicks and 3 goals, one of the best fantasy defenders.
Skipper: A younger player for the Bulldogs might produce a lot of fantasy points next week, so someone like Skipper, who had 11 kicks and a goal here, might be someone to sign.
Everitt: 11 possessions, will probably get closer to 20 next round.
Tiller: Might finish the season with a few goals next week, although he didn't get any here as he played only half the game.
McDougall: Only 9 possessions in this game, so could be a big risk to sign.
The Cats will point out they played without three of their important midfielders, the Power will remind them that the game was at Kardinia Park. There were mind games before the match and this could have only been the rehearsal for something much bigger in the finals. G Ablett had the game won for Geelong before Cassisi kicked a goal in the last few seconds.
