Overall a pretty high scoring fantasy round for premium players to start the 2016 H&A season, 62 players scored 100pts or more in Round 1 which was slightly in front of the 61 players in Round 1 last season. Whilst there would be some genuine excitement in the high scores for many coaches don’t forget that only 34 players averaged 100pts or more in the 2016 season, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we are only 4.55% of the way through the 2017 H&A season.
Melbourne continued on from 2016 recording 454 Disposals in Round 1 against St Kilda, the Demons recorded 400+ Disposals in 11 H&A games last season which was 2nd only to the Bulldogs (16). Melbourne scored a massive 1903 team points against the Saints, the Demons had 8 individual players score 100pts or more.
The points were also flowing for Collingwood in Round 1 despite losing to the Bulldogs by 14pts on Friday night, the Magpies scored 1832 team points with Adams, Pendlebury, Treloar & Sidebottom averaging 133.8pts. Collingwood averaged 1576.8pts in losing games last year so the huge numbers allowed by the Bulldogs is something to keep an eye on, Luke Beveridge admitted they were soundly beaten in contested ball and that not having a genuine Ruck was not ideal – “Our solutions.. helped us in the outside game but they didn’t work out inside” Luke Beveridge
