AFL Fantasy News: Stanton Delivers, All Is Wells For Kangaroos, McLeod Does His Usual Stuff
It was wet, and the Power have the team that can dominate in those conditions. With their many small forwards, and their big ruckman, the Power were able to adjust their setup and get the win. Collingwood were a good chance for three quarters, but a couple of Cornes made the difference in the end.

H Shaw: Had 19 possessions as the Power paid special attention to him.
Thomas: 24 possessions and 8 marks in the wet, still a bargain in fantasy leagues.
Pendlebury: 2 goals and 5 tackles were added to his 20 possessions for some big fantasy points.
Toovey: Looks to be winning a permanent spot in the team, could be a bargain buy for fantasy teams.
The roof was closed at the Dome, which helped Essendon in this game and might also give them an advantage for their next game. Essendon had 3 players with 30 or more possessions as they ran over the Saints. An injury to Sam Fisher really hurt the Saints' chances as they were small in the back line to begin with.

Goddard: 16 kicks and 9 marks.
Harvey: He can still help fantasy teams, 14 kicks and 12 handballs.
