Full weekend teams for Round 2 released from ~6:15pm tonight.

5:00 pm Thursday 31/03/2017

Sunday extended Bench teams are in! All I have to say is rookie Carnage, and its all at one club, North Melbourne. Already knew about Brett Eddy (Fwd $150,000) .
Now we have Braydon Preuss (Ruck $162,000), Declan Mountford (Mid $159,000), Mitchell Hibberd (Def $150,000).
Oh well, at least it gives us a few donuts to use the VC loophole on :/

4:30 pm Thursday 31/03/2017

Extended bench selections are up soon, and with quite a few rookies on those benches this is one you wont want to miss.
Early news already that Brett Eddy (Fwd $150,000) will be dropped. Will there be more rookie carnage?

6:30 pm Thursday 30/03/2017

AFL round 2 remaining teams are in! Notes to follow.
Straight of the bat Matthew Kennedy (Fwd $202,000) is an out. So if you wanted either Dan Butler (Fwd $173,000) or Will Hoskin-Elliott (Fwd $258,000) he is an obvious trade out candidate, and you have to trade NOW.
popular preseason rookie Teia Miles (Mid/Fwd $150,000) has been given a shot after hawks loss to Dons last week.
Swans are blooding not one, not two, but three new debutantes in Robbie Fox (Mid $150,000), Nic Newman (Def $150,000), Will Hayward (Fwd $210,000).

5:30 pm Thursday 30/03/2017

Full weekend teams will be named from ~6:15pm tonight. Some late news, it appears that Max Gawn (Ruck $642,000) had a training mishap where he injured his wrist, but he is still expected to play. He is also still sore from a back injury last week. This is a definite watch this space for owners. Confirming earlier news David Swallow (Mid $355,000) will play his first match in almost two years.

6:25 pm Wednesday 29/03/2017

Teamsheets for partial lockout game Tiges vs Pies are IN! There doesnt seem to be any particularly exciting ins Fantasy wise, unless you are looking for an extreme outside POD eg James Aish (mid $384,000), Kane Lambert (Fwd $383,000). I’m not going there.
None of the outs in Hunt, Lloyd, McIntosh, Cox or Varcoe will make coaches sweat either. Other than to say Cox being dropped is good news for Grundy owners. (Thanks to MGPT in comments below for pointing this out).

5:30 pm Wednesday 29/03/2017

Teamsheets for Tiges vs Collingwood Thurs game will be released from ~6:15pm tonight. Its another partial lockout game, so make sure any trades involving Tiges or Pies players are done before 7:20pm AEST on Thursday. Again you will only have a brief window to check full weekend teams from 6:15pm Thurday night before the partial lockout at 7:20pm.

For the Thursday match, we already know that not so Fantasy relevant Travis Varcoe (Fwd $404,000) was offered a 1 match ban, but could give opportunity for a new selection this week.

As for other weekend matches, a bit of selection news for Saints already during the week with Saints player David Armitage (Mid $503,000) ruled out for this Saturday and possibly for up to two weeks. There is however great news for Nick Riewoldt (Fwd $659,000) which his injury, that to me looked really bad, could turn out to be only 1 or 2 weeks. Also for the saints Leigh Montagna (Def $592,000) looks a possibility to make a return giving us another Def premo option, and Paddy McCartin (Fwd $248,000) looks set to be Nroos replacement.

For those who have David Swallow (Mid $355,000) suns are confident that he will line up this week.
Not as Fantasy relevant but worth mentioning Cats Cameron Guthrie (Mid $485,000) looks set to miss another week, but late withdraw ruck Zac Smith (Ruck $397,000) looks set to play. Not so Fantasy relevant Majak Daw (Fwd/Ruck $354,000) looks set to play, which is yet another tall to play with Braydon Preuss (Ruck $162,000) and Todd Goldstein (Ruck $576,000) which could potentially influence their scoring potential.
Both Nathan Wilson (Def $384,000) and Jacob Hopper (Mid/Fwd $391,000) are both looking likely for GWS, but they are both awkward midpricers.
You should already be aware Bernie Vince (Mid/Def $557,000 ) has been offered a 1 week suspension.

Also a quick watch this space note, Swans are hopeful Isaac Heeney (Fwd $442,000) is on the mend from his Glandular fever and could be good by round 3.

Shag’s Watchlist

I’m a firm believer that at this stage in the season, high priority needs to be on chasing rookie bolters. I’m also going to sound like a broken record and name two players which I also named last week, but there is a very good reason. The disadvantage of course is not knowing what rookies are ommitted from the remaining weekend. Make sure you quickly check tomo from ~6:15pm.

whe
Will Hoskin-Elliott (Fwd $258,000) or WHE as he is fondly called by his AF coaches, was one of the few rookie priced players to not let us down last week. Already possibly out of price range for many, his 95 score and BE of 2 means if you didnt start him, and you want him, this is the week to go.

butler
Dan Butler (Fwd $173,000) bounched out a very handy 72 in his first match, and looked very lively in the Tiges line up. His BE is -6 and his price remains relatively cheap, if you havent already got him, definitely a worthwhile swap for a failed rookie.

Shags’ Watchlist

newman
With injuries to Rampe, Robinson and ommision of Towers, Swans gives us 3 new rookies! Of the 3 the most fanfare seems to be for Nic Newman (Def $150,000) who is a mature aged rookie and previously winner of Fothergill-Round Medal in 2014 so he comes with some pedigree. The distinct lack of Def rookies at the moment, and few failed last week makes him mighty tempting.

Saturday April 1

Troy Menzel (Omitted)

Shags’ Watchlist

tm
Another rookie gift for us, with a preseason popular pick Teia Miles (Mid/Fwd $150,000). I think his Job Security is a bit shaky and he will definitely need to perform to hold his spot over axed hawks players. His JLT scores were decent enough with 63 and 58.
He comes cheap, and his DPP status is handy.

GWS Giants v Gold Coast Suns, Spotless Stadium (4.35pm)

MILESTONES: Ben Ainsworth – Played 1st game, Jack Bowes – Played 1st game

Shags’ Watchlist

sw
Basically his first game for two years, David Swallow (Mid $355,000) is a gun. The only question is how injury affected his comeback will be, especially being a late withdraw last week. A few who started him will breath a sigh of relief he is named this week. Could be a sneaky upgrade for a failed rookie if thats what you are looking for.

Brisbane Lions v Essendon, Gabba (7.25pm)

Shags’ Watchlist

mc
With no Fantasy relevent inclusions in this game, I’m going with surprise bolter Andrew McGrath (Def/Mid $276,000) who was super impressive in the bombers win last week with a 96. He is getting a bit too expensive as a cashcow for many, however with last years Bunnies (Unsure if this years bunnies) Brisbane, you might back him to go big again, with a BE of 5 still has cash to make.

Shags’ Watchlist

monty
I said earlier that this week should be about fixing rookies (unless you have an injury) however with no real rookie options my watchlist will be focused on the return of Fantasy royalty Leigh Montagna (Def $592,000) who returns as a possible Defender premium upgrade, and with only 1.87% ownership, a serious POD option. Definitely watch his form first and consider down the track.

Shags’ Watchlist

Well this match went from many rookie options to, well, quite a few less (Thanks North!). So I have to go with…
stew
Well, 42 is nothing to write home about, but for a def rookie its certainly not the end of the world. Tom Stewart (Def $178,000) has good Job security it seems at least, and really beggars cant be choosers really.

Shags’ Watchlist

han
With the lowest BE in the game of -14 after an 88, everyone should be considering getting Mitch Hannan (Fwd $190,000) who is a rookie bolter that flew under everyones radar. Anyone watching the Dees game last week would have been really impressed. 2nd game in a row being selected is a great indication for his JS for the time being as well.

MILESTONES: Danyle Pearce – Playing 250th game

Shags’ Watchlist


Dan Houston (Fwd $167,000) looked like a bit of a slow burn rookie option, but Injuries to a few port players such as Pittard has given him an opportunity. The Port website is talking him up which is a great indication for his Job security. With a handy 61 last week and a BE of 0, he has plenty of cash making potential and if you dont already have him, is still cheap.
