Inside the Numbers Round 2 Wrap

The high Disposal numbers continued in Round 2 for West Coast as they recorded 422 against St Kilda at Domain Stadium (AFL Rank: Eq 1), the Eagles have the greatest positive differential in Disposal numbers compared to the 2015 H&A season at +64.9 through 2 games. The biggest beneficiary at this early stage of the season is Andrew Gaff averaging 36.0 Disposals per game, much maligned Elliot Yeo’s numbers have also spiked averaging 25.5 Disposals per game along with Sharrod Wellingham at 22.5 Disposals per game.

Melbourne provided another huge haul of Fantasy points again in Round 2, the Demons scored 1829pts against the Blues and were Ranked No.1 for the 2^nd consecutive week. Non Premium types such as Clayton Oliver, Dom Tyson & Christian Salem have all delivered. Oliver’s numbers are probably at the stage where he can’t be ignored for much longer, a breakout seems to be in full progress.

Essendon are quietly going about their business through 2 games averaging 1791.5 fantasy team points (Rank 2), Zach Merrett’s numbers are quite outstanding averaging 34.5 Disposals & 134.5 AFL Fantasy points from 2 games. Many coaches wanted to take an early season peak at how Merrett would perform with all the Bomber players returning from suspension, the answer is quite easy now with finding the cash reserves the most difficult task especially if you are trying to maintain structure and develop rookies.

Just a few words on the Saints, they are giving up a league worst 438.0 Disposals per game and are also averaging a league worst 1422.0 AFL Fantasy team points. The road ahead for St Kilda looks ok with Brisbane, Collingwood & Hawthorn  coming up in the next 3 weeks, the low ranking should start to correct in the short term.
