Team Sheets – Rd. 3

All the news, rumours, and team sheets for Round 3!

It’s Thursday!!

Another week, another high-scoring round full of over-performing rookies!  The likes of Charlie Constable (+$107k), Xavier Duursma (+$79k), and Willem Drew (+$102k) may make this one of the best Fantasy rookie classes ever!  Thankfully some of the mid-pricers busted to give me hope for this season, Nic Newman (66) and Jamie Elliot (48) have hopefully set an example that others can follow.

Round three kicks off tonight, so make sure you have all your players from Adelaide and Geelong locked in before 19:50 AEDT!  The Traders will be reacting LIVE from 18:15 AEDT on the Official AFL Fantasy Facebook page to the team announcements, so think of this article as your text-based companion guide.

As always, this post will be updated as more information comes in, so if you’ve seen some news that I’ve missed feel free to tweet it at me and I’ll follow it up.
