CHAMPION/DATA/ISSUE 2
Hi and welcome to the second edition of the Fantasy Freako’s rave for 2011. Regardless of how you’re faring after two rounds, this is the week to offload the underperformers and snap up those boom cash cows. If you’ve nailed your side and have all cash cows playing and performing well, then there’s no need to trade just for the sake of it. Conserve your trades and use them only when needed.
Good luck to all coaches for the upcoming round, as it will be the last head-to-head round for three weeks.
WHAT A START TO THE YEAR FOR SWAN
If you took the captain’s arm band off Dane Swan last week, then you would have felt sick in the guts when he came out an racked up a lazy 18 disposals in the second term against the Kangaroos – the most ever recorded in a second quarter. If you were playing against him, you would have felt even worse.
His start to the season has been remarkable, collecting 34 and 40 disposals from his first two games, scoring 137 and 162 points respectively. This gives you an average of 149 points per match and we have to go back to 1989 to find a more productive Dream Team start to the year. That year big Tony Lockett let loose, scoring nine goals and 153 points in Round 1 against the Brisbane Bears and he followed it up with another 10 goals and 160 points the following week against Carlton.
Average DT points in first two rounds since 2000 NOT BUDDY GOOD ENOUGH!
Season Player Club D M T G Pts I think we all agree that there is no better player to watch when on song than Lance Franklin. However, he’s one of the most frustrating players to have in your team, with his poor discipline causing coaches 1989 Tony Lockett STK 19 13 2 10 157 plenty of heartache over the years.

ClAYE BEAMS JED ADCOCk
Not the return I was hoping for from Beams. He was subbed out in the first I hate pumping this bloke up. He’s burned so many of us in the past, but he game and then started as the sub last week against the Bulldogs. An average cannot be ignored. He played the perfect game last week against the Bulldogs of 39 points per game from a cash cow is not acceptable. finishing with 26 disposals and 112 points.

He’s not the cash cow to have this season.

If you’ve bombed out on a mid-priced player, then you can make amends by Lewis served me well last season, but his scoring seems to have come to snapping up Shiels. He’s been sensational in his first two matches and will a halt. His price will plummet after this round, so if he’s in your team make have a huge price rise after this round. sure you replace him this week.

There will be plenty of coaches that jump on Tapscott this week. With scores You can’t knock Jamar for his effort, but he’s just not going to score those of 80 in his two games this year he looks a safe selection most weeks. big hundreds we need from our ruckman.

BEAU WATERS DEAN COx
Although he wasn’t as cheap as last year, over 14,000 coaches still If you haven’t got Cox then now’s the time to get him before his price selected Waters this season. He’s succumbed to an elbow injury and rises. His 260 points from the opening two rounds ranks him fifth in the will now miss up to three months. That’s shocking news for us and the competition.

@FantasyFreako - Daniel Kerr hasn’t played against Sydney since Round 11, 2008. That day he finished with 23 disposals, two goals and 100 points. WESTERN BUllDOGS
TOM lIBERATORE BARRY HAll
It was always going to be a toss of the coin between Liberatore and Wallis for If you didn’t listen to me last week, then make sure you do now. Hall has to a Round 1 debut, but Libba got the nod. His price will rise considerably after go and considering the Bulldogs may rest him this week, that’s more of a this round with scores of 72 and 116 in the first two weeks. reason to trade him out.
