NAB Cup Teams: Cats and Lions
NAB Cup semi-final:
Geelong v Brisbane
Geelong squad: Steven King, Tom Harley, Jimmy Bartel, Andrew Mackie, Travis Varcoe, Brad Ottens, Josh Hunt, James Kelly, Joel Corey, Charlie Gardiner, Shannon Byrnes, Nathan Djerrkura, Matthew Egan, Cameron Mooney, Henry Playfair, Nathan Ablett, Mark Blake, David Johnson, Gary Ablett, Matthew Scarlett, Brent Prismall, Todd Grima, Joel Reynolds, Sam Hunt, Darren Milburn, David Wojcinski, Corey Enright, Cameron Ling
What to watch, for picking AFL fantasy players:
If Wojcinski gets a regular spot for Geelong in their back half he should bring in plenty of fantasy stats, he is back for this game and another good performance should solidify his spot in their senior team. ottens is back for this game too, which pushes N Ablett into his more suited role of a third tall forward, Nathan Ablett is among the cheaper forwards in fantasy leagues so if he gets the ball a bit and kicks a couple of goals in this game he is a player to consider for your fantasy team. If you want Milburn on your team you will have to pay a big price, this game will show if he is worth it, and if he has recovered from the big boot a couple of weeks ago. Mooney, like Ottens, is a forward/ruckman in fantasy leagues, it is probably better to play them as a forward if you select them. Varcoe could be getting a run for Geelong, there is plenty of upside with him as his price is very low.
Brisbane Lions squad: 2. Chris Johnson, 4. Ben Fixter, 5. Scott Harding, 6. Luke Power, 7. Jed Adcock, 8. Tim Notting, 9. Ashley McGrath, 10. Matthew Moody, 11. Justin Sherman, 12. James Hawksley, 13. Chris Schmidt, 15. Matthew Tyler, 17. Jared Brennan, 19. Jamie Charman, 20. Simon Black, 21. Daniel Merrett, 24. Joel Patfull, 25. Wayde Mills, 29. Jason Roe, 30. Robert Copeland, 31. Cameron Wood, 32. Cheynee Stiller, 35. Michael Rischitelli, 40. Will Hamill, 41. Scott Clouston 42. Marcus Allan, 43. Beau McDonald, 45. 46. Colm Begley
What to watch, for picking AFL fantasy players:
Copeland is a very affordable fantasy player, he has been very effective so far in the NAB Cup and might be a bargain for your fantasy team. Merrett is a cheap defender for a fantasy roster, he will be playing every game for the Lions this season so he may have some value. Rischitelli had close to 30 possessions last game, he isn't near the elite midfielders in fantasy price but he can get similar stats. Marcus Allan was very effective in the forward line last game, if he maintains his goal-scoring for the regular season he will be a good fantasy pickup.
