NAB Cup Teams: Cats, Power, Kangaroos and Dockers
Geelong v Port Adelaide
Geelong squad: Tom Harley, Jimmy Bartel, Andrew Mackie, Tim Callan, Josh Hunt, James Kelly, Joel Corey, Trent West, Joel Selwood, Charlie Gardiner, Shannon Byrnes, Nathan Djerrkura, Matthew Egan, Cameron Mooney, Henry Playfair, Nathan Ablett, Mark Blake, Mathew Stokes, David Johnson, Gary Ablett, Matthew Scarlett, Brent Prismall, Joel Reynolds, Sam Hunt, Jason Davenport, Corey Enright, Cameron Ling.
What to watch, for picking AFL fantasy players:
With Ottens out for this game it means that N Ablett has the chance to be the Cats' number 1 forward. The expectation should be 3 or 4 goals for Nathan Ablett, while for the regular season if he can score a couple of goals a game it should be enough for fantasy teams. Selwood gets another game and the cat is out of the bag for him as a fantasy AFL option. Blake gets the number 1 ruck spot for this game, it could be a preview of later in the season if King is out again, don't expect a lot of kicks from Blake but he can get into the action with his handballs. Wojcinski was great last game as a small defender, he is out and David Johnson or Djerrkura will be filling his role, but for fantasy teams Wojcinski would be a much better option.
Port Adelaide squad: 2. Darryl Wakelin, 5. Brendon Lade, 6. Adam Thomson, 7. Peter Burgoyne, 8. Shaun Burgoyne, 10. Travis Boak, 11. Ryan Willits, 12. Nathan Lonie, 15. David Rodan, 16. Danyle Pearce, 18. Kane Cornes, 20. Dean Brogan, 21. Michael Wilson, 22. Josh Mahoney, 23. Brad Symes, 24. Damon White, 25. Domenic Cassisi, 26. Nick Lower, 29. Nathan Krakouer, 30. Troy Chaplin, 33. Brett Ebert, 35. Chad Cornes, 36. Michael Pettigrew, 39. Justin Westhoff, 41. Greg Bentley, 44. Tom Logan.
What to watch, for picking AFL fantasy players:
Ebert didn't have a huge game last week but he and the other Port small forwards could cause Geelong a lot of trouble in this game. Ebert and Mahoney are solid fantasy forwards, and there is a chance that Rodan could join them as he has been playing well for Port Adelaide. With Tredrea out there is a vacancy for a big forward, Pettigrew or Willits might be able to push for that spot, one of them could be a fantasy option for round 1.
Kangaroos v Fremantle
Kangaroos squad: 1. Hamish McIntosh, 3. Brady Rawlings, 4. Daniel Harris, 6. Shannon Grant, 7. Adam Simpson, 8. Daniel Wells, 9. Jess Sinclair, 11. Glenn Archer, 12. Lindsay Thomas, 13. David Trotter, 14. Callum Urch, 16. Leigh Brown, 18. Brad Moran, 19. Andrew Swallow, 20. Drew Petrie, 21. Corey Jones, 23. Nathan Thompson, 24. Michael Firrito, 26. Lachlan Hansen, 27. Aaron Edwards, 28. Matt Riggio, 29. Brent Harvey, 30. Daniel Pratt, 32. Eddie Sansbury, 36. Shannon Watt, 38. Josh Gibson, 43. Matt Campbell, 44. Djaran Whyman.
What to watch, for picking AFL fantasy players:
With Hale out it could mean a much bigger role for Edwards, it looks like he will be a regular player for the Kangaroos this season and will find his way onto a few fantasy teams. Lindsay Thomas goes around again and if he again scores a few goals make sure you consider him for a fantasy forward spot.
Fremantle squad: Peter Bell 32, Andrew Browne 36, Adam Campbell 24, Josh Carr 2, Matthew Carr 9, Troy Cook 10, Ryan Crowley 15, Steven Dodd 25, Marcus Drum 30, Paul Duffield 41, Jeff Farmer 33, Daniel Gilmore 27, Antoni Grover 14, Paul Hasleby 4, Roger Hayden 43, Des Headland 11, Michael Johnson 37, Justin Longmuir 20, Shaun McManus 8, Luke McPharlin 18, David Mundy 16, Ryan Murphy 28, Matthew Pavlich 29, Brett Peake 7, Aaron Sandilands 31, Dean Solomon 6, James Walker 19, Luke Webster 1.
What to watch, for picking AFL fantasy players:
Walker and Hayden haven't been too good for fantasy points but that could change if they continue to play as they did last week. Headland was another player who filled up the stats sheet against the Eagles, consistency hasn't been one of his attributes but that could be changing. If he continues to get 20 possessions per game then sign him up for fantasy teams. Solomon and Sandilands both spent time up forward last game, if they can show they will score goals consistently it will give them a few more points in fantasy leagues.
