AFL Fantasy News: Martin Clarke Again In the Best Players
The Crows don't have a consistent player in the forward line and it was the reason why they couldn't beat the Eagles. West Coast also have a few problems kicking big scores but Seaby and Chad Jones kicked 3 goals each in this game and that was the difference between the two sides.
Eagles 95 - Crows 74
Fantasy Player News
West Coast
C Jones: 3 goals but he may be like Brown and Morton and not keep his spot for too many games.
R Jones: 17 possessions, 6 marks and 2 tackles.
B Jones: 18 possessions, 5 marks and 3 tackles.
Embley: His first game in a while, he helped fantasy teams with 2 goals, 20 possessions and 7 marks.
Seaby: 16 possessions, 4 marks and 3 goals is not a bad output for a backup ruckman.
Adelaide
Stevens: 17 possessions, 8 marks and 2 goals as he spent time at both ends of the ground.
van Berlo: Very busy with 25 possessions and 8 marks, he's been a big improver for fantasy numbers this season.
Doughty: 12 kicks, 11 handballs, 4 marks, 6 tackles and 1 free kick received.
Johncock: 20 disposals, 6 marks and 3 tackles and he has the capacity to do even more.
Rutten: 20 possessions for the big defender, most of them were handballs as he only had 4 kicks.
It was supposed to be Archer's big day, and it certainly was, but the big news was Drew Petrie's performance in the first half. The Bulldogs had more scoring shots for the game but were very inaccurate, while all 7 of Petrie's scoring shots in the first half went through for goals.

Kangaroos
Petrie: 7 goals, 11 kicks, 9 marks and 5 tackles but he could be at full back next week.
Harvey: 23 kicks, 10 marks, 6 tackles and 2 goals, plenty of fantasy points there.
Jones: 20 possessions, 2 goals, 4 marks and 4 free kicks received.
Wells: He had 14 disposals and a goal and should be back to his usual numbers next round and is worth signing.
Archer: 22 possessions and 7 marks as he had an enjoyable 300th game, often playing as a loose defender.
Western Bulldogs
Boyd: 31 possessions as he stepped up his production with Cross and other important Bulldogs out.
Cooney: 16 kicks, 9 handballs, 5 marks and 10 tackles but missed his kicks at goal and only had 3 behinds and 0 goals.
Giansiracusa: 27 possessions, 6 tackles and 3 goals provided a large amount of fantasy points.
Akermanis: 19 possessions, 5 marks and 3 tackles, he is producing better numbers now.
Grant: A goal and 6 kicks, unlikely to help fantasy AFL teams.
Hawthorn had a few more tall forward options and that was the difference between the two sides. The Hawks were also a lot more accurate in front of goal. Martin Clarke's 3 goals kept Collingwood close enough that they could make a late run, they hit the lead in the last quarter but Hawthorn came back and sealed the win with a couple of goals. It looks like Boyle could miss a few games.

Hawthorn
Mitchell: 28 possessions, 7 marks and 6 tackles but he did lose some fantasy points with 3 frees against.
Young: 17 kicks, 9 handballs, 6 marks and a goal as he found a lot of space on the wing.
Roughead: Impressive again, he kicked 3 goals, and he will be asked for more with Boyle probably out next week.
Bateman: He kept on running and ended the game with 20 possessions.
McGlynn: A tad quiet last week, much better here with 26 possessions, 12 marks and 2 frees for.
Collingwood
Clarke: Going to be even more popular in fantasy leagues this week, he had 13 kicks and 3 goals. Buy him now before his price doubles next week.
Reid: Very young but very talented, kicked a goal in his first game and will play next week without Rocca there again.
Swan: 16 kicks, 14 handballs and 13 marks.
Wakelin: Getting a bit of the ball, he had 15 kicks and 8 marks.
Cox: Collingwood's coach seems to mention Shannon Cox a lot, fantasy coaches might too after 18 possessions.
