• Brad Crouch has ticked every box this pre-season. He ranked fifth in the league for centre bounce attendances and equal-ninth for disposals. Make sure you pick him while he’s fit! 1825 • With Luke Brown sidelined through injury, Brodie Smith should have a monopoly on the kick ins. Smith has played on from six of seven kick ins and ranked 11th in the AFL for kicks during the JLT Series. 1st

• Lachie Neale ranked second for centre bounce attendances in the AFL and led the competition for first possessions during the pre-season. He has missed just one match through injury since 1658 2014 which adds to his appeal. • Jarryd Lyons looms as a POD. Only Lachie Neale attended more centre bounces at Brisbane, with Lyons finishing with 26 disposals and four goals in the final JLT Series hit-out. 4th

• Sam Walsh is pricey, but he has shown enough in his two games, ranking second behind Patrick Cripps for disposals and contested possessions. Walsh also ranked second for points 1429 scored. • Nic Newman is awkwardly priced and he hasn’t set the world on fire, ranking outside the top-10 for disposals and points scored at the Blues. He’s a risky proposition to start with. 16th

• Dayne Beams has been the main beneficiary of Taylor Adams’ injury. The former Lion ranked second at the club for centre bounce attendances, also ranking equal-fourth for first 1810 possessions. • Jack Crisp might be a vanilla fantasy pick, but he’s an effective one nonetheless. He ranked No.1 in the AFL for defensive half uncontested possessions and third for handball-receives. 2nd

His minutes were managed, playing just 47% game time, while attending just 24% of centre bounces, ranked at 1466 Essendon. • Jordan Ridley is an option in defence if he plays in Round 1. He led the Bombers for defensive half disposals with 33, marginally ahead of Michael Hurley. 15th

He has been handed a defensive role, leading the competition for tackles with 21. 1389 • Brett Bewley has struggled for game time, afforded the sixth-lowest game time of any player in the AFL to play both games. Don’t write him off, as he ranked fifth at the club for points per 100 minutes. 18th

• Tom Atkins looks poised to make his AFL debut in Round 1. He ranked third at the club behind Joel Selwood and Patrick Dangerfield for contested possessions. 1588 • A change in role for Gary Ablett has all but ruled him out as a fantasy asset for now. Ablett failed to attend a centre bounce against the Bombers in the final match, winning 10 of 12 disposals in the forward half. 10th

He ranked equal-ninth in the competition for intercept possessions and should see plenty of the ball in defence. 1418 • Anthony Miles was underwhelming, ranking 14th at the club for points per 100 minutes.

• Dylan Shiel’s departure has provided Tim Taranto with a fantasy boost. Taranto ranked 10th in the AFL among permanent midfielders for points per 100 minutes and is a prime breakout 1634 candidate. • Zac Williams was rested in the final match, scoring 80 points from just 53% game time in the opening game. If we normalise that score based on 100 minutes, that’s 133 points. 6th

• Don’t expect Noah Balta to score 98 points most weeks, as he did in the opening JLT Series match. His 43 points in the second match is a truer reflection of his potential output. 1601 • Can Jack Higgins enjoy a breakout season in just his second year? He ranked third at the club for points per 100 minutes and was even thrust into the centre bounces, attending four in the final term in the last match. 9th

• Matthew Parker’s defensively play has overshadowed his offensive threat, ranking 25th for points per 100 minutes of the 28 St Kilda players that featured. He’s purely a bench option at 1568 this stage. • The much-maligned Jack Billings looks set for a new role. He has played predominantly as a wingman, winning 24 defensive midfield disposals – the most of any forward in the AFL. 13th
