AFL Round 14 Teams and Fantasy News
Essendon v Geelong
Essendon
FB: Slattery, Michael, M.Johnson
HB: McPhee, Ryder, Hislop
C: McVeigh, Ramanauskas, Nash
HF: Hird, Lucas, Welsh
FF: J.Johnson, Fletcher, Davey
Foll: Laycock, Watson, Peverill
bench: Dyson, Lovett, Hille, Johns
emergency: Camporeale, Monfries, Bolton
In: Hille, Hislop, Ramanauskas, Dyson, Johns
Out: Lloyd, Winderlich, Stanton, Bolton, Camporeale
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Hille is back and he should return to his usual fantasy numbers. Hislop has a lot of ability, and a low fantasy price, so he is a player to watch. Ramanauskas doesn't cost a lot so if it looks like he will keep his spot he has the potential for a very good price rise.
Geelong
FB: Milburn, Scarlett, Enright
HB: Harley, Egan, Mackie
C: Wojcinski, Bartel, Corey
HF: Chapman, Mooney, Varcoe
FF: S.Johnson, Hawkins, Stokes
Foll: Ottens, G.Ablett, Ling
bench: Blake, Kelly, Selwood, Tenace
emergency: J.Hunt, Prismall, D.Johnson
In: Tenace, Hawkins
Out: Rooke, N.Ablett
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The fantasy teams that left Hawkins on the bench might get some more help as he is back, but he will also be going up against Fletcher or Michael.
Collingwood v St Kilda
Collingwood
FB: Johnson, Wakelin, O'Brien
HB: H.Shaw, Goldsack, Cox
C: Clarke, Burns, Licuria
HF: Thomas, Cloke, Davis
FF: Didak, Maxwell, Lockyer
Foll: Fraser, O'Bree, Swan
bench: Iles, Medhurst, Pendlebury, Reid
emergency: Bryan, Davies, Dick
In: O'Brien, Iles
Out: Holland, Richards
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Clarke looks like he has been playing for Collingwood for 10 years, not 10 months. It is the last chance to sign Clarke at his bargain price.
St Kilda
FB: Blake, Maguire, Baker
HB: Gram, S.Fisher, L.Fisher
C: Fiora, Hayes, Montagna
HF: Harvey Riewoldt, X.Clarke
FF: Milne, Gehrig, Voss
Foll: Koschitzke, Dal Santo, Ball
bench: Attard, R.Clarke, Gilbert, Rix
emergency: Birss, Thompson, Ferguson
In: Koschitzke, Maguire
Out: Hudghton, Thompson
AFL Fantasy Watch:
If fantasy teams are starting Koschitzke or Maguire it will be a good idea to have emergencies ready for those positions.
Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide
Western Bulldogs
FB: McMahon, Harris, Morris
HB: Gilbee, Williams, Hargrave
C: Harbrow, West, Akermanis
HF: Giansiracusa, Johnson, Hahn
FF: Grant, Darcy, Higgins
Foll: Street, Cooney, Boyd
bench: Addison, Murphy, Ray, Everitt
emergency: Minson, Robbins, Wight
In: Everitt, Murphy
Out: Lynch, Power
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Everitt has a lot of ability and he can play on talls or smalls. There may not be a lot of minutes there in his first game.
Port Adelaide
FB: Surjan, Thurstans, Wilson
HB: Pettigrew, C.Cornes, P.Burgoyne
C: Lonie, K.Cornes, S.Burgoyne
HF: Rodan, Tredrea, Gray
FF: Lade, Motlop, Ebert
Foll: Brogan, Cassisi, Thomson
bench: Bentley, Boak, Westhoff, Carlile
emergency: Krakouer, Mahoney, Symes
In: Carlile, Thomson
Out: Pearce, Wakelin
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Thomson might be a solid player for fantasy points this round.
Adelaide v Hawthorn
Adelaide
FB: Stevens, Rutten, Johncock
HB: Torney, McGregor, McLeod
C: Massie, Goodwin, van Berlo
HF: Ricciuto, Bock, Reilly
FF: Knights, Welsh, Burton
Foll: Hudson, Edwards, Thompson
bench: Doughty, Shirley, Maric, Porplyzia
emergency: Douglas, Gill, Mattner
In: Burton, Goodwin, Maric
Out: Bassett, Griffin, Mattner
AFL Fantasy Watch:
There is still a bit of doubt for the fitness of some of their players, so don't sign Goodwin or Burton yet. Griffin had a useful fantasy season and had a good price increase but now might be the time to trade him in. Bassett has to be traded as he will miss a lot of games.
Hawthorn
FB: Ladson, Gilham, Birchall
HB: Brown, Croad, Guerra
C: Smith, Mitchell, Young
HF: Bateman, Franklin, Crawford
FF: McGlynn, Roughead, Hodge
Foll: Campbell, Lewis, Sewell
bench: Taylor, Ellis, Jacobs, Thurgood
emergency: Murphy, Muston, Tuck
In: Jacobs, Thurgood
Out: Osborne, Boyle
AFL Fantasy Watch:
There is a spot open for a tall forward next to Roughead and Franklin, with Boyle out, and Croad or Jacobs could kick a few goals.
West Coast v Brisbane
West Coast
FB: Hurn, Glass, B.Jones
HB: Waters, Hunter, Selwood
C: Embley, Priddis, Braun
HF: Fletcher, C.Jones, R.Jones
FF: LeCras, Lynch, Seaby
Foll: Cox, Judd, Kerr
bench: Graham, Nicoski, R.Jones, Wirrpanda
emergency: Armstrong, Chick, Mackenzie
In: Judd
Out: Armstrong
AFL Fantasy Watch:
There could be an announcement tomorrow that the guy who was surfing will be added to the team.
Brisbane
FB: Copeland, Merrett, Roe
HB: Adcock, Drummond, Brennan
C: Notting, Lappin, Stiller
HF: Macdonald, Brown, Selwood
FF: Rischitelli, Leuenberger, Patfull
Foll: Charman, Black, Power
bench: Begley, Hamill, Mills, Hooper
emergency: McGrath, Sherman, Hadley
In: Hooper, Leuenberger, Roe, Copeland, Mills, Hamill
Out: Dzufer, Proud, Wood, Hadley, Sherman, McGrath
AFL Fantasy Watch:
A lot of changes at the Lions again. It's Heritage Round, and the Brisbane Lions have as much stability with their lineup as Fitzroy did in 1996. It is good for fantasy coaches, with Roe and Leuenberger the ones to watch. Roe was a fantasy superstar last season but hasn't been close to that this year, but he can still turn it around with a good game here. Leuenberger could be played next to Brown in the forward line as well as the backup to Charman in the ruck. Not the best idea to throw a first-game ruckman into a fantasy team, evaluate him over the next game or two first.
Sydney v Fremantle
Sydney
FB: Richards, Barry, Dempster
HB: Bevan, C.Bolton, Mathews
C: Ablett, Kirk, Malceski
HF: R.O'Keefe, O'Loughlin, Goodes
FF: Davis, Hall, Everitt
Foll: Jolly, J.Bolton, Fosdike
bench from: Schmidt, Laidlaw, Schneider, Vogels, McVeigh, Kennelly, Roberts-Thomson
In: Hall, Kennelly, Roberts-Thomson, Schneider
Out: Buchanan
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Hall and Kennelly could really help fantasy teams, but there is plenty of risk with playing them this round.
Fremantle
FB: Hayden, McPharlin, Thornton
HB: Johnson, Grover, Dodd
C: Black, Carr, Mundy
HF: Headland, Pavlich, Solomon
FF: Farmer, Tarrant, Sandilands
Foll: Warnock, Hasleby, Bell
bench from: M.Carr, McManus, Gilmore, Duffield, Parker, Schammer, Murphy
In: Tarrant, Duffield, Sandilands
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Warnock's numbers from last week will take a big hit with Sandilands back. Their first game with Pavlich, Farmer and Tarrant and there should be enough stats to go around.
Carlton v Melbourne
Carlton
FB: Gibbs, Thornton, Hartlett
HB: Grigg, Waite, Scotland
C: Bower, Houlihan, Simpson
HF: Wiggins, Koutoufides, Murphy
FF: Betts, Kennedy, Fisher
Foll: O'hAilpin, Walker, Carrazzo
bench from: Young, Ackland, Bannister, Bentick, Lappin, Russell, Saddington
In: Walker, Kennedy, Grigg, Bower
Out: Fevola
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Fevola will need to be rested for fantasy teams this week. Mr Kennedy gets his big chance as he wasn't getting the ball when Fevola was in the team. Grigg could be a useful player for fantasy teams for the rest of the season. He can play in a variety of roles so he should find a way to get playing time.
Melbourne
FB: Ward, Carroll, Wheatley
HB: C.Johnson, Bizzell, Brown
C: Bruce, McDonald, Petterd
HF: Godfrey, Robertson, Davey
FF: Sylvia, Miller, Bate
Foll: White, McLean, Jones
bench from: P.Johnson, Frawley, Newton, Buckley, Pickett, Holland, Dunn
In: Miller, C.Johnson, Buckley, Frawley, Holland, Pickett, Dunn
Out: Neitz, Green, Bell, Johnstone
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The Demons are going to start shutting their veteran players down. That should help some of their younger players become fantasy stars for the rest of the year.
Richmond v Kangaroos
Richmond
FB: King, J.Bowden, Thursfield
HB: Raines, Polak, Newman
C: Deledio, Tuck, Tivendale
HF: Pettifer, Richardson, Edwards
FF: Jackson, Brown, Tambling
Foll: Pattison, Johnson, Foley
bench from: White, Graham, Simmonds, Howat, Riewoldt, Moore, Hughes
In: Moore, Graham, Riewoldt, Hughes
Out: Hyde
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Riewoldt and Graham are two names to look for tomorrow night when the team is set. Graham has the low rookie price, and a team looking to trade someone like Jonathon Griffin to get extra money could put Graham on their bench. Riewoldt is the mystery of the year as he has only played a couple of minutes of AFL this season, when they finally do give him a permanent spot on their team he should be helpful to fantasy teams.
Kangaroos
FB: Pratt, Firrito, Watt
HB: Smith, Brown, Archer
C: Sinclair, Simpson, Harvey
HF: Swallow, Hale, Grant
FF: Jones, Petrie, Wells
Foll: McIntosh, Rawlings, Harris
bench from: Green, Moran, Lower, Edwards, McMahon, Campbell, Whyman
In: Moran, Edwards, Campbell, Whyman
Out: Thomas
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Better not sign Petrie just because of his stats last week, while he is a very good player he want be kicking that many goals again.
Essendon
FB: Slattery, Michael, M.Johnson
HB: McPhee, Ryder, Hislop
C: McVeigh, Ramanauskas, Nash
HF: Hird, Lucas, Welsh
