Fantasy Player News
Sydney
Goodes: He plays very well in Canberra, he had 17 kicks and 2 goals.
Buchanan: 31 possessions, also had 11 marks and 2 goals, a big game and he might do it a few more times.
Schneider: 17 kicks and 2 goals, his last few games have been very good for fantasy points.
Fosdike: 23 possessions, a good increase over his usual numbers.
Everitt: 21 possessions, it seemed that there were plenty of times when he didn't have an opponent and he ran around and did as he pleased, which is great for fantasy points.
Melbourne
Newton: The late season fantasy bargains can be found on teams down the bottom of the ladder, Newton looks like he will finish the season with plenty of fantasy points, he had 13 kicks
Green: 20 possessions, used in a variety of roles but still got the ball.
Brown: 22 possessions, if the Demons play him then he helps fantasy teams.
Holland: A few of his games have been really good for fantasy points, this one certainly was as he had 4 free kicks for and 3 goals.
Pickett: 11 possessions, fantasy coaches won't want him, it will be interesting to see if a coach in the AFL wants him next year.
Franklin and Roughead combined for 7 goals and 7 behinds, Essendon's total score was only 7 behinds more than that.

Hawthorn
Lewis: He did a bit extra last week with Mitchell out and continued his high output here with 30 possessions.
Birchall: 28 possessions and 9 marks, is getting close to the upper echelon of fantasy defenders.
Vandenberg: Maybe he can help fantasy teams, he had 1 kicks and 12 handballs and also kicked a goal.
Mitchell: 21 handballs and 8 kicks, Hawthorn and fantasy teams received a big boost this week comapred to last week.
Franklin: 10 kicks and 4 goals, he was a fantasy bargain in round 1 and he keeps kicking goals.
Essendon
Fletcher: 22 kicks and 12 marks, a big game again.
Stanton: 30 possessions and 10 marks, he might be underrated in fantasy games.
Lovett-Murray: 19 possessions and 7 marks, getting better and fantasy teams might consider adding him.
Lloyd: He was in the action with 3 frees for and 3 against, he also had 12 kicks and 2 goals.
Welsh: 23 possessions and 8 marks, very good fantasy numbers.
Plenty of action and drama, a lot of heroes and villains to entertain the crowd, and a shock result.

Fremantle
Solomon: He was certainly made to play in games like this one, he had 7 tackles and 18 possessions and continued his very good fantasy season.
Farmer: 13 kicks, 10 marks and 3 goals, some fantasy coaches will be tempted to sign him and this game showed he can get fantasy points.
J Carr: 19 kicks, 7 handballs, 9 marks, 5 tackles and 3 goals, nut he also lost a few fantasy points with 5 frees against.
Hasleby: 30 possessions and 8 marks, the change of coach might have helped his game.
Gilmore: Not your typical ruckman, and he isn't eligible for that position in fantasy games, he had 20 possessions.
West Coast
Selwood: 22 possessions and 10 marks, probably fewer remarks too, about the opposition players.
Wirrpanda: 15 kicks and 2 goals, a good return on his return to the team.
LeCras: The Q is behind him in the queue in the forward line as they look to LeCras more now, it was a good idea as he kicked accurately for 4 goals.
Hansen: 12 kicks and 12 marks, his stats are much better this season.
Cox: Always one of the best fantasy ruckmen, he had 27 total hitouts and 16 possessions.
