AFL Round 19 Teams and Fantasy News
Richmond v Collingwood
Richmond
FB: King, Thursfield, Newman
HB: Raines, Polak, Connors
C: J.Bowden, Tuck, Johnson
HF: Pettifer, Richardson, Deledio
FF: Brown, Riewoldt, Pattison
Foll: Simmonds, Tambling, Foley
bench: Edwards, Graham, McGuane, Tivendale
emergency: Jackson, Krakouer, Howat
In: Pattison
Out: Hughes
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Pattison becomes more of a forward for this game, as Richmond still have Simmonds and Graham for the ruck. Probably a good idea to stay away from all those players for fantasy teams. Connors is a player who will be signed by fantasy teams, he is cheap and gets plenty of stats.
Collingwood
FB: Clement, Prestigiacomo, O'Brien
HB: H.Shaw, Goldsack, Johnson
C: Toovey, Burns, Cook
HF: Maxwell, Rocca, Licuria
FF: Thomas, Cloke, Swan
Foll: Fraser, O'Bree, Davis
bench: Lockyer, Shaw, Bryan, Medhurst
emergency: Wakelin, Wellingham, Dick
In: Licuria, Bryan, Toovey, O'Bree
Out: Didak, Lonie, Clark, Cox
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Clarke being rested for this game means the fantasy teams that have been starting him will need to do the same thing.
Hawthorn v Brisbane
Hawthorn
FB: Guerra, Gilham, Birchall
HB: Smith, Croad, Brown
C: Ladson, Mitchell, Lewis
HF: Crawford, Boyle, Bateman
FF: Vandenberg, Roughead, Franklin
Foll: Campbell, Hodge, Sewell
bench: Taylor, Dixon, McGlynn, Young
emergency: Jacobs, Ellis, Tuck
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The Hawks are happy with their current lineup. That means that Jacobs won't play, he had an amazing game for fantasy points when the teams last met.
Brisbane
FB: Macdonald, Merrett, Roe
HB: Adcock, Patfull, Copeland
C: Notting, Lappin, Stiller
HF: Mills, Brown, Selwood
FF: Hooper, Leuenberger, Brennan
Foll: Charman, Black, Power
bench: Begley, Johnson, Moody, Rischitelli
emergency: Hamill, Clark, Harding
In: Johnson
Out: McGrath
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Brown has been unstoppable recently, the Hawks don't have a great full back so Brown might continue his hot streak. Brennan has been a big performer during their winning streak, for this game he might have to play as a defender on Franklin which could hurt his fantasy points.
Port Adelaide v Carlton
Port Adelaide
FB: P.Burgoyne, Thurstans, Surjan
HB: Wilson, Chaplin, Pettigrew
C: K.Cornes. C.Cornes, Pearce
HF: Boak, Westhoff, Motlop
FF: Lade, Ebert, Rodan
Foll: Deluca, S.Burgoyne, Cassisi
bench: Carlile, Lonie, White, Thomson
emergency: Logan, Lower, Mahoney
In: Deluca, White
Out: Bentley, Krakouer
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The Power go bigger for this game, adding a backup ruckman and another tall forward. White could have a 10 mark game, Deluca won't do anything for fantasy teams.
Carlton
FB: Houlihan, Saddington, Bannister
HB: Simpson, Thornton, Scotland
C: Grigg, Carrazzo, Russell
HF: Waite, Fisher, Gibbs
FF: Blackwell, Fevola, Betts
Foll: Ackland, Murphy, Walker
bench: Bower, Jackson, O'hAilpin, Jamison
emergency: Bentick, Austin, Hampson
In: Walker
Out: Bentick
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Ratten doesn't like watching number 7 out there for Carlton, Bentick is out again. Fantasy coaches might want to consider Blackwell or Jackson. Ackland has improved his numbers since they change the coach.
Melbourne v Western Bulldogs
Melbourne
FB: Holland, Carroll, Brown
HB: Bell, Ferguson, Frawley
C: Johnstone, McDonald, Wheatley
HF: Green, Newton, Sylvia
FF: Pickett, Neitz, Robertson
Foll: White, McLean, Jones
bench: Bode, Moloney, Jamar, Davey
emergency: Ward, Miller, Dunn
In: Sylvia, Johnstone, Bode, Frawley, Robertson
Out: Godfrey, Bate, Buckley, Ward, Miller
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Someone at the Demons should provide a lot of value for fantasy teams for the last four games, but they make so many changes a lot of their players don't string enough matches together to make them a useful fantasy signing. Newton might be the exception to this, he has been one of their better forwards. Frawley is back in the team, being involved in a quicker game against the Bulldogs might mean more stats for him.
Western Bulldogs
FB: McMahon, Harris, Morris
HB: Everitt, Williams, Hargrave
C: Ray, West, Eagleton
HF: Giansiracusa, Johnson, Murphy
FF: Higgins, Grant, Akermanis
Foll: Darcy, Cooney, Boyd
bench: Cross, Skipper, Power, Tiller
emergency: McDougall, Faulkner, Street
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Brad Johnson is still in the team, for now. Skipper isn't usually a player that gets a lot of stats but in his previous two games he has been one of their better players, against Melbourne he could again produce for fantasy teams. The Bulldogs reportedly did say McDougall would play, he is only an emergency at the moment, so maybe there is some news about that tomorrow night.
Sydney v St Kilda
Sydney
FB: Kennelly, Barry, Malceski
HB: Bevan, Bolton, Mathews
C: Ablett, Kirk, Buchanan
HF: R.O'Keefe, O'Loughlin, McVeigh
FF: Schneider, Hall, Davis
Foll: Jolly, J.Bolton, Goodes
bench: Everitt, Fosdike, Richards, Roberts-Thomson
emergency: Schmidt, Dempster, Brennan
In: Barry, Roberts-Thomson
Out: Brennan, Grundy
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Two big defenders return and the Swans will need them against the Saints. Barry will be good once again for fantasy teams, LRT probably won't be.
St Kilda
FB: Maguire, Hudghton, L.Fisher
HB: Gram, S.Fisher, Baker
C: Harvey, Hayes, Montagna
HF: C.Jones, Riewoldt, X.Clarke
FF: Milne, Gehrig, Koschitzke
Foll: Rix, Dal Santo, Ball
bench: Attard, Blake, Fiora, Gilbert
emergency: Birss, M.Clarke, R.Clarke
In: Ball, Rix
Out: Birss, M.Clarke
AFL Fantasy Watch:
One backup ruckman was exchanged for another backup ruckman, not important for fantasy leagues. Ball's return is good news for his fantasy coaches.
Kangaroos v West Coast
Kangaroos
FB: Archer, Firrito, Pratt
HB: Smith, Watt, Green
C: Rawlings, Wells, Sinclair
HF: McMahon, Hale, Grant
FF: Harvey, Jones, Petrie
Foll: McIntosh, Simpson, Harris
bench from: Edwards, Sansbury, Campbell, Swallow, Lower, Thomas, Moran
In: Archer, Moran, Campbell, Lower, Thomas
Out: Brown, Whyman
AFL Fantasy Watch:
McIntosh doesn't have it easy when playing against Dean Cox, Moran might also be playing so signing McIntosh this week might not be a good move. Firrito could be a player to consider, although he couldn't contain J Brown last week he still got a lot of the ball himself. If Lynch is Firrito's opponent here, you can expect Firrito to again run away from the bigger forward and get involved in the stats.
West Coast
FB: Staker, Glass, Selwood
HB: Hurn, Hunter, B.Jones
C: Embley, Judd, Braun
HF: Wirrpanda, Hansen, Cousins
FF: LeCras, Lynch, Seaby
Foll: Cox, Stenglein, Kerr
bench from: Armstrong, Brown, Fletcher, Jones, Priddis, Rosa, Schofield
In: Fletcher,Schofield, Rosa, Armstrong, Brown
Out: Chick, Waters
AFL Fantasy Watch:
A couple of spots open up in the back line for the Eagles. Wirrpanda could help fantasy teams if he returns to his role down back.
Geelong v Adelaide
Geelong
FB: Milburn, Scarlett, Harley
HB: Wojcinski, Egan, Mackie
C: Kelly, Bartel, Corey
HF: S.Johnson, Mooney, Selwood
FF: Byrnes, Ablett, Stokes
Foll: King, G.Ablett, Ling
bench from: J.Hunt, Varcoe, Chapman, D.Johnson, Blake, Enright, Ottens
In: Enright, Chapman, Ottens
AFL Fantasy Watch:
It is getting crowded there, and fantasy coaches will need to wait until Friday night to see who the three outs are. J Hunt, Varcoe and D Johnson are the likely candidates. Although there must be the chance that Blake will be sent to the VFL for a week.
Adelaide
FB: Stevens, Rutten, Johncock
HB: Torney, Bock, McLeod
C: Knights, Thompson, van Berlo
HF: Goodwin, Perrie, Welsh
FF: Burton, Gill, Porplyzia
Foll: Maric, Shirley, Edwards
bench from: Douglas, Jericho, Campbell, Massie, Griffin, Mattner, Reilly
In: Bock, Campbell, Jericho, Griffin, Reilly, Rutten
Out: Doughty, McGregor, Hudson
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Maric must play a lot more with Hudson out for this week. Gill's fantasy price will rise after this match. Rutten's return should allow another tall to play in a more attacking, and better for statistics, role.
Fremantle v Essendon
Fremantle
FB: Hayden, Grover, Johnson
HB: Black, McPharlin, Hayden
C: Crowley, J.Carr, Mundy
HF: Peake, Tarrant, Solomon
FF: Farmer, Murphy, Pavlich
Foll: Warnock, Bell, Hasleby
bench from: Gilmore, McManus, Schammer, Foster, Dodd, Cook, Webster
In: Cook, Dodd, Foster, Webster
Out: M.Carr
AFL Fantasy Watch:
M Carr was a casualty of the game last week, he is out injured. Gilmore gets in a lot of space in his role as a short, but extremely mobile, ruckman. That brings in a lot of fantasy points and he could again have a big game at Subiaco.
Essendon
FB: Lovett-Murray, Ryder, Fletcher
HB: McPhee, Michael, Reimers
C: Slattery, McVeigh, Monfries
HF: Lucas, Gumbleton, Lovett
FF: Nash, Lloyd, Welsh
Foll: Laycock, Stanton, Winderlich
bench from: Johns, Ramanauskas, Dyson, Hille, Peverill, Camporeale, Watson
In: Dyson, Gumbleton, Camporeale, Reimers
Out: M.Johnson
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The Bombers now have Johnson and Johnson in the VFL, fantasy coaches will also want to send out M Johnson.
Richmond
FB: King, Thursfield, Newman
HB: Raines, Polak, Connors
C: J.Bowden, Tuck, Johnson
HF: Pettifer, Richardson, Deledio
FF: Brown, Riewoldt, Pattison
