  • No Sign of Home Sickness Get Ready to Pounce!
    CHAMPION/DATA/ISSUE 16 Hi and welcome to the sixteenth edition of the Fantasy Freako’s rave for 2011. We dodged a bullet last round with news that Gary Ablett’s knee injury isn’t as bad as first thought. He’s now an outside chance to face Richmond this week, which would relieve the thousands of coaches that traded him in last round. Enjoy this week’s rave and good luck to everyone for the upcoming round. NO SIGN OF HOME SICKNESS GET READY TO POUNCE! It’s one thing to perform on your home deck, but to do it away from With most of us close to finalising our sides, it’s vital that we bring home as well is an added bonus.

For the purpose of this analysis, only those that have played in more than one match have been included, on in the wake of his dismal performance against Collingwood, where which explains why Travis Cloke doesn’t appear with his 136 points, as he finished with a season-low 24 points.

  • What a Start to the Year for Swan
    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.
