AFL Round 6 Teams and Fantasy News
St Kilda v Carlton
St Kilda
FB: Gilbert, Goddard, L.Fisher
HB: Attard, Koschitzke, Gram
C: Blake, Ball, Montagna
HF: Harvey, Riewoldt, X.Clarke
FF: Voss, Gehrig, Milne
Foll: M.Clarke, Baker, Dal Santo
bench: Fiora, Gwilt, Jones, Rix
emergency: Armitage, Birss, McQualter
In: Gwilt, Jones, Rix
Out: Hayes, Thompson, McQualter
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Voss was great last week, a player to look at for fantasy teams. There will be a lot of possessions available for other midfielders with Hayes and Thompson out so some Saints players will now increase their fantasy points. The conditions, with the roof, will suit the tall forwards a lot better than playing in the rain last week. Armitage has to be getting closer to a game, this could be the first time he has been named as an emergency.
Carlton
FB: Gibbs, S.O'hAilpin, Thornton,
HB: Scotland, Waite, Houlihan
C: Lappin, Young, Simpson
HF: Carrazzo, Whitnall, Murphy
FF: Kennedy, Fevola, Betts
Foll: Ackland, Bentick, Walker
bench: Anderson, Blackwell, Cloke, Russell
emergency: Bower, Hartlett, Saddington
In: Blackwell, Young
Out: Jackson, Wiggins
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Blackwell was a good player last year, and if he stays in the team now he might be a good addition for fantasy teams. Young is a cheap fantasy player, if he is getting enough of the ball to make him a regular player then he will help fantasy teams with a big value increase. Cloke's fantasy numbers were boosted by kicking a few goals last week, don't expect that to happen again.
Essendon v Hawthorn
Essendon
FB: McVeigh, Michael, Heffernan
HB: McPhee, Fletcher, Hird
C: Dyson, Peverill, Monfries
HF: Lovett, Lucas, Davey
FF: M.Johnson, Lloyd, Laycock
Foll: Ryder, Winderlich, Stanton
bench: Welsh, Bolton, Johns, J.Johnson
emergency: Houli, Watson, Lonergan
In: J.Johnson, Welsh, Winderlich
Out: Bradley, Slattery, Watson
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Winderlich is back, he had great stats before he missed due to injury. Jason Johnson isn't expensive, but maybe wait a week or two to see how they use him. Watson was a solid fantasy player, despite not playing a lot of minutes, he might have to be traded off fantasy teams.
Hawthorn
FB: Guerra, Gilham, Brown
HB: Ladson, Croad, Birchall
C: Sewell, Mitchell, Lewis
HF: McGlynn, Boyle, Bateman
FF: Franklin, Roughead, Dixon
Foll: Campbell, Hodge, Crawford
bench: Vandenberg, Taylor, Murphy, Osborne
emergency: Ellis, Moss, Young
In: Croad, Vandenberg
Out: Thurgood, Ellis
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Croad was good for stats earlier this year, and both he and Gilham can help fantasy teams. Vandenberg isn't a very good fantasy points player, better not to sign him.
West Coast v Western Bulldogs
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:
They are still using the same players so expect the same stats as they have had the past few weeks. Hansen wasn't a good fantasy player last season, he is kicking more goals now.
Western Bulldogs
FB: McMahon, Harris, Morris
HB: Gilbee, Wight, Hargrave
C: Eagleton, S.West, Power
HF: Giansiracusa, Johnson, Boyd
FF: Murphy, Darcy, Akermanis
Foll: Minson, Cross, Cooney
bench: Ray, Higgins, Griffen, Addison
emergency: Faulkner, Williams, Harbrow
In: Addison
Out: Robbins
AFL Fantasy Watch:
There are a lot of good players for fantasy points on the Bulldogs. Murphy is playing well, Harris started the season late but has been getting a lot of stats, Power missed some time with injury but he is back and Cross was great last game after missing with an injury.
Kangaroos v Sydney
Kangaroos
FB: Gibson, Firrito, Watt
HB: Pratt, Archer, Smith
C: Swallow, Rawlings, Simpson
HF: Adams, Edwards, Wells
FF: Harvey, Petrie, Brown
Foll: McIntosh, Grant, Harris
bench: Jones, Grima, Campbell, Sinclair
emergency: Green, Trotter, McMahon
In: Smith
Out: Green
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Smith will be a player to watch, he has a low fantasy price. Elevated rookies Adams and Campbell are still in the team too. Once again McIntosh is there without a ruckman on the bench, so he should again bring in plenty of fantasy points. Pratt and Jones were hurt last week, they are named in the team for this game.
Sydney
FB: Richards, Barry, Malceski
HB: Crouch, C.Bolton, Mathews
C: Ablett, Kirk, McVeigh
HF: R.O'Keefe, O'Loughlin, J.Bolton
FF: Schneider, Hall, Everitt
Foll: Jolly, Goodes, Fosdike
bench: Buchanan, Davis, Schmidt, Jack
emergency: Vogels, Moore, Phillips
In: Buchanan, Jack
Out: Kennelly, Moore
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Mathews will play in Kennelly's spot and could increase his stats. Goodes has been down in form, and was very lucky to not be suspended, maybe he has a big game against the Kangaroos.
Adelaide v Collingwood
Adelaide
FB: Torney, Rutten, Bassett
HB: van Berlo, Stevens, McLeod
C: Doughty, Goodwin, Mattner
HF: Knights, Bock, Edwards
FF: Perrie, Welsh, Vince
Foll: Hudson, Shirley, Thompson
bench: Griffin, Burton, Douglas, Hinge
emergency: McGregor, Pfeiffer, Jericho
In: Welsh, Hinge
Out: Porplyzia, Reilly
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Hinge is listed as a midfielder for fantasy games, he has the ability to play anywhere for the Crows and might be used around half forward. Hudson was very good for fantasy points last game, he is still cheap enough to sign in fantasy games.
Collingwood:
FB: Lockyer, Prestigiacomo, Cox
HB: H.Shaw, Clement, R.Shaw
C: Pendlebury, Toovey, Thomas
HF: Maxwell, Cloke, Didak
FF: Swan, Rocca, Johnson
Foll: Fraser, O'Bree, Dick
bench: Burns, Davis, O'Brien, Bryan
emergency: Wakelin, Egan, Iles
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The young players like Thomas, Pendlebury, Toovey and Cox will provide good value for fantasy teams. The half back line, of the Shaws and Clement, are bringing in plenty of points. Cloke was great last game, he might not be able to do it consistently.
Brisbane v Fremantle
Brisbane
FB: Johnson, Merrett, Roe
HB: Adcock, Brennan, Copeland
C: Sherman, Lappin, Stiller
HF: Harding, Brown, Notting
FF: Rischitelli, Patfull, McGrath
Foll: Charman, Black, Power
bench from: Hadley, Begley, McDonald, Allan, Fixter, Schmidt, Drummond
In: Schmidt, Drummond, Lappin
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Lappin is back, and a good idea if he is being played in a fantasy team would be to have an emergency midfielder, just in case.
Fremantle
FB: Parker, Grover, Dodd
HB: Black, McPharlin, Hayden
C: Johnson, Bell, Mundy
HF: Headland, Pavlich, Hasleby
FF: Warnock, Tarrant, Solomon
Foll: Sandilands, Crowley, J.Carr
bench from: M.Carr, Walker, Webster, Campbell, Cook, Gilmore, McManus
In: Parker, Warnock, Campbell
AFL Fantasy Watch:
There will be some outs with Warnock and Parker named in the 18. So don't rush and sign some of the bench players. Interesting to see Johnson and Mundy named on the wings, one of them might spend some time in the midfield as the Dockers have a full strength back line.
Melbourne v Port Adelaide
Melbourne
FB: Bruce, Carroll, Yze
HB: Brown, Rivers, Bell
C: Sylvia, McDonald, Davey
HF: Petterd, Miller, Pickett
FF: Dunn, Neitz, Moloney
Foll: White, Godfrey, Johnstone
bench from: P.Johnson, Jones, Bate, C.Johnson, Buckley, Holland, Warnock
In: Neitz, Jones, Holland, Warnock, Buckley
Out: Garland, Jamar
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Petterd had a big debut and could be added to a lot of fantasy teams. Neitz should have a solid game so someone like Miller, Dunn or P Johnson might not have a big role now. White could have more points with Jamar out of the team.
Port Adelaide:
FB: Chaplin, Wakelin, Pettigrew
HB: Surjan, C.Cornes, Thomas
C: Cassisi, K.Cornes, Lonie
HF: Mahoney, Tredrea, P.Burgoyne
FF: Ebert, White, Bentley
Foll: Lade, S.Burgoyne, Rodan
bench from: Deluca, Krakouer, Motlop, Pearce, Thurstans, Symes, Westhoff
In: Deluca, Motlop, Pearce, Thomas, Westhoff
Out: Salopek, Wilson
AFL Fantasy Watch:
The Power lose a couple of good fantasy players to injury and fantasy coaches will have to replace them too. Pearce is back for the Power, and an option for fantasy teams.
Richmond v Geelong
Richmond
FB: Newman, McGuane, Gaspar
HB: Raines, Polak, J.Bowden
C: Johnson, Deledio, King
HF: Jackson, Hughes, Meyer
FF: Tambling, Schulz, Richardson
Foll: Simmonds, Oakley-Nicholls, Foley
bench from: Tuck, Pettifer, White, Edwards, Hyde, Howat, Moore
In: White, Howat, Moore, Meyer
Out: Tivendale
AFL Fantasy Watch:
Oakley-Nicholls could have a big impact on fantasy leagues this season, if he puts together another solid game he might be someone to sign. Hughes was good last week, he might kick a few goals against Geelong.
Geelong
FB: Mackie, Scarlett, Enright
HB: D.Johnson, Egan, Milburn
C: Wojcinski, Bartel, Kelly
HF: Chapman, N.Ablett, S.Johnson
FF: G.Ablett, Mooney, Varcoe
Foll: Ottens, Corey, Ling
bench from: Blake, Tenace, Selwood, Prismall, Hawkins, King, Stokes
In: Ottens, Tenace, S.Johnson
AFL Fantasy Watch:
A difficult game for fantasy coaches, with Ottens and S Johnson in the team it means that Blake, King or Hawkins will be dropped.
St Kilda
FB: Gilbert, Goddard, L.Fisher
HB: Attard, Koschitzke, Gram
C: Blake, Ball, Montagna
HF: Harvey, Riewoldt, X.Clarke
FF: Voss, Gehrig, Milne
