The AFL Insider SuperCoach Team End Of Season Review - The Backs
The team that started the fantasy season.
B David Mundy
B Daniel Pratt
B Andrew Raines
B Grant Birchall
B Graham Polak
B Sean Dempster
B Justin Koschitzke
B Xavier Ellis (emergency)
B Matt Riggio
The big successes were Polak, Birchall and Koschitzke. Each of those players is a good example for three things that can point to a fantasy stats improvement, which are changing AFL clubs, a young player ready to play and a star coming back from injuries.
Polak went from Fremantle to Richmond, the Tigers needed a lot more height so Polak was always going to play a lot. Birchall showed he was ready in his first year of AFL, in his second year he improved a bit more and might be even better next season. Koschitzke was everyone's pick to have a big return from injury, that happened and he was traded in before the Saints went to Port Adelaide, it might have been a good idea to keep him around longer.
Mundy, Pratt and Raines were all supposed to have midfielder stats in the back line, sometimes they did. Mundy was solid until the coach was removed, then he became a star fantasy player. Pratt was traded for Jesse Smith, it was a trade that didn't lose fantasy points and freed up plenty of money, although Pratt's stats did seem to go up after he was removed from this team. Raines had some big games, and some quiet ones.
Dempster has the talent to be a player for a lot of fantasy points but it didn't happen this year. Ellis is more talented than most, he has good skills and makes the right decisions on the field, next year he will star. Riggio had some good games for North Ballarat.
The team that finished the fantasy season.
