FF: Rischitelli, Patfull, McGrath
Foll: Wood, Black, Power
bench: Begley, Fixter, McDonald, Harding
emergency: Mills, Tyler, Allan
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Lappin is not going to play, according to news reports. Could result in a bigger role for Fixter or Begley.

bench: Fiora, McQualter, Rix, Attard
emergency: Birss, Brooks, Voss
In: Hudghton
Out: Maguire
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Ball won't be there it seems. Hudghton is there for Maguire, if Hudghton does play where he is named it might make him useful for fantasy points, assuming that S Fisher takes Brown.
Richmond vs Sydney
Richmond
FB: Newman, Gaspar, McGuane
HB: Raines, J.Bowden, Moore
C: Tivendale, Johnson, Tambling
HF: Pettifer, Polak, Deledio
FF: Krakouer, Richardson, Schulz
Foll: Pattison, Polo, Foley
bench: P.Bowden, Tuck, Howat, Hyde
emergency: Oakley-Nicholls, King, Hughes
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Staying with the same team from round 1. Polak is named as a forward, he was good for fantasy points there last week.
Sydney
FB: Richards, Barry, Malceski
HB: Kennelly, C.Bolton, Dempster
C: Buchanan, Kirk, Mathews
HF: R.O'Keefe, O'Loughlin, J.Bolton
FF: McVeigh, Hall, Ablett
Foll: Jolly, Goodes, Fosdike
bench: Everitt, Grundy, Schmidt, Schneider
emergency: Laidlaw, Moore, Vogels
In: Grundy, Schmidt, Schneider
Out: Davis, Phillips, Vogels
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The Swans remove 3 forwards from their previous lineup, Schneider should take a lot of their stats.
Geelong vs Carlton
Geelong
FB: Mackie, Scarlett, Enright
HB: D.Johnson, Egan, Milburn
C: Wojcinski, Bartel, Byrnes
HF: Chapman, Mooney, Selwood
FF: Gardiner, Ottens, G.Ablett
Foll: Blake, Corey, Ling
bench: N.Ablett, Prismall, Hawkins, Varcoe
emergency: J.Hunt, S Hunt, Tenace
In: Byrnes, Hawkins, Varcoe
Out: Harley, J Hunt, Tenace
AFL Fantasy Watch:
It's good news if you had Hawkins or Varcoe on your fantasy bench. The Cats are also staying with Selwood, and he should improve on his first game. If you have Harley you need to trade him, as he will be out for an extended time, Egan could have more fantasy points with Harley out.
Carlton
FB: Houlihan, S.O'hAilpin, Thornton,
HB: Scotland, Whitnall, Walker
C: Simpson, Stevens, Lappin
HF: Carrazzo, Waite, Fisher
FF: Betts, Fevola, Kennedy
Foll: Cloke, Bentick, Murphy
bench: Ackland, Gibbs, Russell, Wiggins
emergency: Blackwell, Grigg, Hartlett
AFL Fantasy Watch:
If Whitnall does play as a defender it could help his fantasy points, as the Cats have named a tall forward line it could also mean that Waite also plays in the back line.
West Coast vs Collingwood
West Coast
FB: Wirrpanda, Glass, Staker
HB: Waters, Hunter, Hurn
C: Embley, Selwood, Braun
HF: Stenglein, Brown, Chick
FF: Armstrong, Lynch, Seaby
Foll: Cox, Judd, Kerr
bench: B.Jones, R.Jones, Priddis, Rosa
emergency: McKinley, LeCras, Graham
In: Cox, Embley
Out: Graham, LeCras
AFL Fantasy Watch:
There are injury concerns for Cox, Embley and Judd. Mitch Brown gets another game and he has a low fantasy price.
Collingwood
FB: Lockyer, Prestigiacomo, Wakelin
HB: H.Shaw, Clement, R.Shaw
C: Pendlebury, Lonie, Thomas
HF: Maxwell, Cloke, Licuria
FF: Swan, Rocca, Medhurst
Foll: Fraser, O'Bree, Johnson
bench: Burns, Davis, O'Brien, Richards
emergency: Cox, Nicholls, Toovey
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The defenders for the Magpies were great for fantasy points last round, they will be busy again. The tall forwards for Collingwood didn't do a lot in round 1, expect better numbers from some of them in this game. Fraser should be back to his high fantasy numbers, especially if Cox does not play.
Port Adelaide vs Kangaroos
Port Adelaide
FB: Wilson, Chaplin, Thurstans
HB: Surjan, C.Cornes, Lonie
C: Cassisi, S.Burgoyne, Salopek
HF: P.Burgoyne, White, Rodan
FF: Ebert, Lade, Pettigrew
Foll: Brogan, K.Cornes, Pearce
bench from: Cockshell, Logan, Bentley, Wakelin, Krakouer, Thomson, Mahoney
In: Thomson, Mahoney, Bentley, P.Burgoyne
Out: Motlop
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Motlop is replaced by Peter Burgoyne. Both Burgoynes should be good for fantasy points, Shaun was a bit quiet last game.
Kangaroos
FB: Archer, Petrie, Firrito
HB: Riggio, Watt, Pratt
C: Rawlings, Harris, Sinclair
HF: Grant, Brown, Simpson
FF: Harvey, Hale, Jones
Foll: McIntosh, Swallow, Wells
bench from: Green, Trotter, Campbell, Thomas, Sansbury, Hansen, Edwards
In: Green, Sansbury, Edwards
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Moran isn't named so time to sign McIntosh for fantasy teams. Riggio gets another game, he should be a good player to have as an emergency defender for fantasy teams.
Essendon vs Fremantle
Essendon
FB: Ryder, Michael, McVeigh
HB: McPhee, Fletcher, Slattery
C: Stanton, Hird, Monfries
HF: M.Johnson, Lucas, Lovett
FF: Welsh, Lloyd, Watson
Foll: Hille, Winderlich, Peverill
bench from: Bradley, Lovett-Murray, Davey, Dyson, Jetta, Laycock, Heffernan
In: Dyson, Laycock, Heffernan
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Sheedy has talked about including Laycock, to help Hille against Sandilands, and that could affect Hille's stats. There is still time to sign Winderlich, who is a fantasy bargain, and it looks like McPhee is going to also have a big year.
Fremantle
FB: Grover, Parker, Hayden
HB: Mundy, McPharlin, Headland
C: Solomon, J.Carr, McManus
HF: Hasleby, Pavlich, Bell
FF: Peake, Tarrant, Longmuir
Foll: Sandilands, M.Carr, Crowley
bench from: Browne, Duffield, Murphy, Walker, Campbell, Gilmore, Webster
In: M.Carr, Campbell, Gilmore, Webster
Out: Dodd
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Bell is named in the team, if he does play he should be good for fantasy points but make sure you have an emergency midfielder as he could miss.
Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide
Western Bulldogs
FB: McMahon, Hargrave, Morris
HB: Griffen, Wight, Gilbee
C: Eagleton, S.West, Ray
HF: Giansiracusa, McDougall, Akermanis
FF: Murphy, Darcy, Johnson
Foll: Minson, Cross, Cooney
bench from: Boyd, Addison, Faulkner, Higgins, Power, Robbins, Street
In: Faulkner, Robbins, Street, Addison
Out: Montgomery
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Minson is probably worth having in your fantasy team even if Street does play, although the only change could be a smaller player in to replace Montgomery.
Adelaide
FB: Johncock, Bassett, Rutten
HB: McLeod, Stevens, Torney
C: Mattner, Shirley, van Berlo
HF: Edwards, Bock, Reilly
FF: Knights, Welsh, Perrie
Foll: Hudson, Goodwin, Thompson
bench from: Griffen, Bode, Doughty, Douglas, Burton, Vince, Porplyzia
In: Bode, Vince, Porplyzia
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Bode should help their forward line, and fantasy teams. Maybe Porplyzia also plays, he has good fantasy potential. Burton may not play due to a knee problem.
Hawthorn vs Melbourne
Hawthorn
FB: Jacobs, Croad, Guerra
HB: Sewell, Gilham, Birchall
C: Ladson, Mitchell, Bateman
HF: Crawford, Franklin, Clarke
FF: Williams, Boyle, Young
Foll: Taylor, Hodge, Lewis
bench from: Campbell, Ellis, McGlynn, Dixon, Roughead, Osborne, Brown
In: Dixon, Crawford, Brown
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Crawford and Brown will be good additions for fantasy teams. They could also decrease some of the stats of players like Young, Guerra and Ellis.
Melbourne
FB: Bartram, Carroll, Whelan
HB: Ward, Rivers, Bell
C: Moloney, McDonald, Green
HF: Bruce, Miller, Robertson
FF: Jamar, Neitz, Davey
Foll: White, Jones, Johnstone
bench from: Bate, Yze, C.Johnson, Brown, Bizzell, Godfrey, Wheatley
In: Wheatley, Rivers, Brown, Bizzell, Godfrey
Out: McLean, Holland
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Rivers was going to be one of the better tall defenders for fantasy points, as Melbourne have included him then it is safe for fantasy coaches to sign him too.
Brisbane
FB: Moody, Merrett, Roe
HB: Adcock, Brennan, Copeland
C: Sherman, Lappin, Stiller
HF: Johnson, Brown, Notting
FF: Rischitelli, Patfull, McGrath
