Magoos News – Rd. 17

VFL

Richmond

Sam Lloyd (FWD, $449K) was huge with 152 points, from 37 touches and a goal. Tyson Stengle (FWD, $222K) required 6 goals for his 138. Deadeye Jacob Townsend (FWD, $369K) was good as well with 23 touches, 6 marks and 2 goals for 119 points. He could come in after the Tigers kicked 17 points on the weekend. Pat Naish (FWD/MID, $204K) was solid as well with 26 touches and a goal for 99 points. He is getting closer to a debut.

North Melbourne

Brayden Preuss (RUC, $445K) continues to star in the VFL after having 43 hitouts and kicking a goal for 109 points. He could get a single game if Goldstein gets rested at some stage, but Goldy is in almost career best form. Will Walker (MID, $226K) is getting closer to a debut, after having 15 touches and a goal for 79 points. Tough to see him getting a game this late in the year with finals nearing, unless an injury occurs. Not much happened down in Kangaroo territory.

Essendon Bombers

Dylan Clarke (MID/FWD, $181K) was great with 19 touches and 15 tackles for 136 points. He was on 22 points at half time and really got going in the second half. Kobe Mutch (MID, $265K) was good as well with 104 points from 22 touches and 7 tackles. James Stewart (DEF, $402K) was good with 26 touches and 13 marks for 136 points. He kicked 3.4. Jordan Ridley (DEF, $256K) was poor with 5 disposals and only 31 points.    

Hawthorn (Box Hill)

Harry Jones (MID, $170K) was solid with 26 touches, 7 marks and a goal for 105 points. He probably won’t get a game but was good on the weekend. James Worpel (MID, $212K) was good as well with 34 touches and a goal for 105 points. Mitch Lewis (FWD, $173K) was good down forward with 3 goals and 10 marks for 101 points. He could get another game at some stage unless an injury occurs. David Mirra (DEF, $351K) was solid in defence with 22 touches, 21 of which were kicks, and 9 marks for 93 points. Kieron Lovell (MID, $210K) was very disappointing with 6 touches and 18 points.

Melbourne Demons (Casey Demons)

Corey Wagner (DEF, $431K) was huge with 25 touches and 17 tackles, he scored the same amount of points as Brodie Grundy from tackles alone! He finished on 149 points. Dom Tyson (MID, $512K) was good as well with 25 touches and 12 tackles for 121 points and surely is getting closer to a return. Tim Smith (FWD, $353K) didn’t do too much and had 9 touches and a goal for 57 points.

Western Bulldogs

Callum Porter (MID, $170K) was solid with 95 points from 19 touches, 9 tackles, and a goal. Tim English (RUC/FWD, $425K) was good and is nearing a return after his injury. He had 37 hitouts and 4 tackles for 76 points. Very quiet in the Bulldogs reserves.

St Kilda (Sandringham)

Ben Paton (DEF, $180K) was the top scorer with 127 points. He had 20 touches, 2 goals, and 14 tackles. Blake Acres (FWD/MID, $584K) was very good and is every chance to come in this week. He had 24 touches and 9 tackles for 113 points. He’s had two games in the reserves and is likely to come in soon. Nathan Freeman (MID, $170K) was very good and is a good chance to get a game before the end of the year. He had 23 touches, 7 marks and 5 tackles for 100 points. If he does come in, it will be like Harley Bennell from last year, playing limited TOG. Nick Coffield (MID/DEF, $363K) was decent with 75 points.

Geelong Cats

Charlie Constable (MID, $200K) was great with 33 touches, 8 marks, 6 tackles and a goal for 134 points. He probably won’t be able to squeeze into the Geelong midfield. Jordan Cunico (MID, $463K) had 25 touches and 7 marks for 99 points. We could see him again but Scott Selwood is ahead of him at the moment. Ryan Abbott (RUC, $170K) appeared to be playing last week by all reports but didn’t get named. He had 31 hitouts, 11 touches, and a goal. He could get a game within the next couple of weeks.

Carlton Blues (Northern Blues)

Nick Graham (MID/FWD, $489K) continues his amazing VFL form after having 33 touches and 2 goals for 124 points. He can never produce these numbers at AFL level so isn’t an option if he gets a game. Cam O’Shea (DEF, $338K) was decent with 21 touches and 4 marks for 75 points. It will be hard for him to get another game. Levi Casbolt (RUC/FWD, $380K) was okay, with 10 touches and 7 marks for 57 points. With Kreuzer and Phillips injured, he could come in this week.

NEAFL

Brisbane Lions

Jacob Allison (MID, $389K) was good with 33 touches and a goal for 116 points. Ben Keays (FWD, $437K) was good as per usual with 30 touches and a goal, racking up 107 points. He averages 106 in the NEAFL this year. Corey Lyons (MID, $170K) must be getting close to a debut, after having 25 touches and 7 marks for 107 points. He’s a mature aged midfielder averaging 24 touches and 7 marks for 106 points.

GWS

Matthew Flynn (FWD/RUC, $170K) was good for the second week in a row after having 49 hitouts and picking a goal for 110 points. Tim Mohr (DEF, $231K) was solid with 25 touches and 11 marks for 108 points. Brett Deledio (FWD, $591K) made his return form injury in fine fashion, with 32 touches ad 5 tackles for 107 points. He averages 91 this year and 113 in his last 3. Nick Shipley (MID, $170K) was okay with 18 touches and a goal.

Gold Coast Suns

Well, the Suns reserves had almost half of their senior team playing, and could probably put up a decent fight again them. Fiorini, Barlow, Hanley, Kolodjashnij and Lonargan all played, just to name a Michael Barlow (MID/FWD, $654K) was humongous, with 44 touches, 9 marks and 6 tackles for 159 points. Fellow Sun Brayden Fiorini (MID, $602K) was also grea with 36 touches, 2 goals, 8 marks and 11 tackles for 168 points. Once he solidifies his spot, he will be a viable option. Kade Kolodjashnij (DEF, $562K) was good as wet with 23 touches and 6 marks for 96 points. Dropped rookie Jordan Dawson (MID, $196K) was very good with 29 touches and 6 tackles for 113 points. Pearce Hanley (DEF/MID, $479K) made his return as well and had 31 touches for 87 points.

Sydney Swans

Darcy Cameron (RUC, $170K) is just teasing us all now. He had 43 hitouts, 28 disposals, 3 goals, 10 marks and 5 tackles, accumulating 181 fantasy points. He averages 132 points in the NEAFL and still can’t get a game. Jordan Foote (MID/FWD, $257K) also had a good game with 33 touches, 3 goals, 10 marks, 7 tackles and 161 points. Jordan Dawson (FWD/MID, $254K) was good as well with 29 touches, 10 tackles and a goal for 135 points. Some may remember how huge his numbers were last year, he could be a basement priced option next year.

WAFL

Fremantle Dockers

Danyle Pearce (FWD, $478K) was one of the best again with 34 touches and a goal for 116 points. I don’t think he will get another game, other than his ‘farewell’ game that Ross Lyon was talking about. Mitch Crowden (FWD/MID, $270K) has some very up and down WAFL form, but was good on the weekend, and had 20 touches, 7 marks, 5 tackles and a goal for 104 points. Luke Strnadica (RUC, $170K) made the most of Sean Darcy playing AFL, and had 28 hitouts, 14 touches, 6 marks and a goal for 101 points. Harley Bennell (FWD, $249K) was solid again with 19 touches and a goal for 73 points, but Lyon said he will ‘wait a couple of more weeks’ before getting another game.

West Coast Eagles

Dom Sheed (MID, $499K) was huge with 37 touches and a goal for 126 points. Nathan Vardy (RUC, $440K) was great with 66 hitouts and a goal for 116 points and could come in for Nic Nat this week. Hamish Brayshaw (MID, $170K) was very good with 25 touches, 7 tackles and 2 goals for 113 points. I can’t see him getting a game this year. Oscar Allen (FWD, $231K) was dropped and only managed 10 touches for 46 points. He probably won’t get another game unless an injury occurs. Liam Ryan (FWD, $345K) was very good with 3 goals and 7 tackles for 70 points.

SANFL

Adelaide Crows

Patrick Wilson (MID/FWD, $185K) was very good with 32 touches, 9 marks, 6 tackles and a goal for 142 points. Cam Ellis-Yolmen (MID, $526K) was good as well with 25 touches and 2 goals for 113 points. Darcy Fogarty (FWD/MID, $266K) was quite good with 3 goals and 7 marks for 89 points. The only way he will get another game is through injury.

Port Adelaide

Jack Trengove (MID, $422K) was dropped but barely did anything wrong. He was solid with 26 touches and 8 tackles for 103 points. William Frampton (RUC/FWD, $170K) was good as well with 26 hitouts and 9 touches for 72 points. He would be the ideal replacement for Ryder but Port just can’t seem to give him a crack.

Top 3:

1. Nathan Freeman
2. Ryan Abbott
3. Kobe Mutch

Obviously, I think there are some senior players who will play this week, such as Vardy and/or Fiorini, but they aren’t really fantasy relevant.

There aren’t many rookies knocking on the door this week.
