AFL Round 5 Teams and Fantasy News
April 26th 2007 09:29
Port Adelaide v St Kilda
Port Adelaide
FB: Thurstans, Wakelin, Wilson
HB: Surjan, C.Cornes, Symes
C: Cassisi, S.Burgoyne, Salopek
HF: Mahoney, Tredrea, Rodan
FF: Ebert, White, Lade
Foll: Brogan, K.Cornes, P.Burgoyne
bench: Bentley, Krakouer, Lonie, Pettigrew
emergency: Chaplin, Logan, Thomas
In: Brogan
Out: Logan
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Too late to change fantasy teams for this round, but plenty of things to watch. Lade's stats might take a small hit with Brogan back but it might not occur in this game. The Saints don't have many tall defenders and Lade might kick a few goals in this game, and he will also be tough for Clarke to stop around the ground too.
St Kilda
FB: Gilbert, Goddard, L.Fisher
HB: Voss, Koschitzke, Gram
C: Blake, Hayes, Harvey
HF: Montagna, Riewoldt, Ball
FF: Brooks, Gehrig, Milne
Foll: M.Clarke, Baker, Dal Santo
bench: Attard, X.Clarke, Fiora, Thompson
emergency: Gwilt, McQualter, Rix
In: Brooks, Gehrig, Gilbert, Voss
Out: S.Fisher, Gwilt, McQualter, Rix
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Voss is in for his first game of the season, and this year he doesn't have to be called "B Voss" as he is the only one playing now. Voss might become a regular for the Saints and might have some potential for fantasy points. If Koschitzke is a big defender it might make Barry Brooks a solid fantasy player, in his one game last season Brooks was able to kick a few goals.
Richmond v West Coast
Richmond
FB: Newman, Gaspar, McGuane
HB: Raines, J.Bowden, Deledio
C: Tivendale, Johnson, Hyde
HF: Pettifer, Schulz, Krakouer
FF: Tambling, Richardson, Polak
Foll: Simmonds, Tuck, Foley
bench: Hughes, Jackson, King, Edwards
emergency: Oakley-Nicholls, White, Pattison
In: Hughes, Jackson
Out: Bowden, Polo
AFL Fantasy Watch:
It's going to be a busy time for Daniel Jackson, on the Stargate TV show on Friday and playing AFL on Saturday. He probably won't be a big fantasy player. A player who has taken a big slide in AFL fantasy is P Bowden, from a top 20 spot last year to now a regular in the VFL. Edwards is a player to watch for a fantasy bargain.
West Coast
FB: Wirrpanda, Glass, Hurn
HB: Waters, Hunter, Selwood
C: Embley, Priddis, Braun
HF: Stenglein, Hansen, Chick
FF: Armstrong, Lynch, R.Jones
Foll: Cox, Judd, Kerr
bench: Rosa, Seaby, Staker, B.Jones
emergency: Graham, LeCras, Fletcher
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The Eagles had huge stats last week, that should happen again.
Carlton v Brisbane
Carlton
FB: Gibbs, S.O'hAilpin, Thornton,
HB: Scotland, Whitnall, Houlihan
C: Waite, Bentick, Walker
HF: Carrazzo, Cloke, Wiggins
FF: Kennedy, Fevola, Lappin
Foll: Ackland, Murphy, Simpson
bench: Anderson, Betts, Jackson, Russell
emergency: Blackwell, Hartlett, Bower
In: Jackson
Out: Fisher
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Fisher's injury should make someone a better fantasy player, it could be Whitnall, Kennedy, Wiggins or maybe C Cloke.
Brisbane
FB: Johnson, Merrett, Roe
HB: Adcock, Brennan, Copeland
C: Sherman, Fixter, Stiller
HF: Harding, Brown, Notting
FF: Rischitelli, Patfull, McGrath
Foll: Charman, Black, Power
bench: Hadley, Begley, McDonald, Allan
emergency: Wood, Moody, Sheldon
In: McDonald, Allan
Out: Moody, Wood
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Time to sign Charman, or at least think about it for next week, as Wood is out of the team. Hadley is still a cheap fantasy player for someone wanting a midfielder.
Sydney v Melbourne
Sydney
FB: Richards, Barry, Malceski
HB: Kennelly, C.Bolton, Mathews
C: Buchanan, Kirk, McVeigh
HF: R.O'Keefe, O'Loughlin, J.Bolton
FF: Schneider, Hall, Ablett
Foll: Jolly, Goodes, Fosdike
bench: Everitt, Davis, Schmidt, Crouch
emergency: Grundy, Moore, Laidlaw
In: Davis
Out: Grundy
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Davis is obviously a player to watch, he might not be used too much in this game though. Jolly has been getting a lot of fantasy points, he won't have it easy against White and Jamar in the ruck, but he may again sneak forward and kick a goal or two which is helping his fantasy points.
Melbourne
FB: Bruce, Carroll, P.Johnson
HB: Brown, Rivers, Bell
C: Moloney, McDonald, Yze
HF: Johnson, Miller, Pickett
FF: Dunn, Jamar, Davey
Foll: White, Bate, Johnstone
bench: Petterd, Godfrey, Sylvia, Garland
emergency: Bizzell, Ward, Buckley
In: Rivers, Moloney, Johnstone, C.Johnson, Petterd, Garland
Out: Wheatley, Whelan, Jones, Green, Ward, Bizzell
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Time to forget about Bizzell, but plenty of other Melbourne players could help fantasy teams. Davey and Yze are back in form, Dunn kicked some goals last week and there are also two new players. Garland, a big forward from Tasmania, was good in the VFL and might kick a goal or two in this game. Petterd is a much better fantasy option, a small player in the back line who can get a lot of the ball. He is also the closest thing to Hannibal Smith that the AFL has had since Mick Peppard played for the Bombers.
Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs
Hawthorn
FB: Guerra, Gilham, Sewell
HB: Ladson, Hodge, Brown
C: Birchall, Mitchell, Lewis
HF: Young, Franklin, Bateman
FF: Boyle, Roughead, Dixon
Foll: Campbell, Osborne, Crawford
bench from: Ellis, Taylor, McGlynn, Murphy, Muston, Smith, Thurgood
In: Ladson, Smith, Thurgood, Murphy, Muston
Out: Williams, Jacobs
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Fantasy teams this week could be in trouble if they had Williams and Jacobs playing. Williams is out for a month. Gilham will be a player to look at next week, he has been playing well. There is obviously a lot more opportunity for someone around goals with Williams out and Dixon, Boyle or Roughead might see their fantasy points go up.
Western Bulldogs
FB: McMahon, Harris, Morris
HB: Gilbee, Wight, Hargrave
C: Eagleton, S.West, Cross
HF: Giansiracusa, Johnson, Griffen
FF: Murphy, Darcy, Akermanis
Foll: Minson, Boyd, Cooney
bench from: Addison, Williams, Harbrow, Ray, Power, Higgins, Robbins
In: Akermanis, Cross, Power
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Williams and Harbrow are possibilities for this match, if they only keep one of them playing AFL this week it might be Williams as they need some height. Both players are a chance to help fantasy teams if they keep playing with the Bulldogs. Cross will be back to his high possessions, Power was very good before he was hurt and still might be someone to sign next week, Akermanis is a player to wait and see when it comes to fantasy points.
Geelong v Kangaroos
Geelong
FB: Mackie, Scarlett, Enright
HB: D.Johnson, Egan, Milburn
C: Wojcinski, Bartel, Stokes
HF: Chapman, Mooney, Kelly
FF: Hawkins, N.Ablett, G.Ablett
Foll: King, Ling, Corey
bench from: Prismall, Blake, Selwood, Varcoe, Byrnes, Ottens, Tenace
In: Selwood, Ottens, Varcoe, Tenace
Out: Hunt
AFL Fantasy Watch:
G Ablett and Ottens are named so that is important for fantasy teams. Chapman hasn't been at his best so far this year, he cost a lot and if he doesn't bring in huge fantasy points for this game it might be time to trade him.
Kangaroos
FB: Archer, Petrie, Gibson
HB: Pratt, Watt, Firrito
C: Wells, Harris, Rawlings
HF: Adams, Brown, Swallow
FF: Harvey, Edwards, Campbell
Foll: McIntosh, Grant, Simpson
bench from: Sinclair, Jones, Grima, Trotter, Moran, Green, Smith
In: Adams, Moran, Smith, Trotter
Out: Thomas
AFL Fantasy Watch:
If Moran plays it won't be good for McIntosh's stats. Brown kicked goals last week and if he does it again he could join a lot more fantasy teams.
Fremantle v Adelaide
Fremantle
FB: Hayden, McPharlin, Mundy
HB: Grover, Johnson, Dodd
C: McManus, Hasleby, Black
HF: Headland, Pavlich, Solomon
FF: Bell, Tarrant, Gilmore
Foll: Sandilands, M.Carr, J.Carr
bench from: Cook, Walker, Webster, Campbell, Crowley, Warnock, Collard
In: Johnson, Warnock, Collard, Cook
Out: Parker
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Johnson is an important piece of their back line and a good fantasy defender. Sandilands probably won't lose many stats if Warnock does play, Collard is someone to watch if he plays and he might be a surprise fantasy player if he stays in the team.
Adelaide
FB: McLeod, Rutten, Bassett
HB: van Berlo, Stevens, Doughty
C: Burton, Goodwin, Mattner
HF: Knights, Bock, Reilly
FF: Porplyzia, Perrie, Welsh
Foll: Hudson, Edwards, Thompson
bench from: Griffin, Bode, Shirley, Torney, McGregor, Douglas, Vince
In: Bode, Shirley, McGregor
AFL Fantasy Watch:
McLeod has been worth the big money for fantasy teams, there have also been some bargains to find at Adelaide with Knights and others producing.
Port Adelaide
FB: Thurstans, Wakelin, Wilson
HB: Surjan, C.Cornes, Symes
C: Cassisi, S.Burgoyne, Salopek
HF: Mahoney, Tredrea, Rodan
FF: Ebert, White, Lade
