CHAMPION/DATA/ISSUE 1

The wait is over! Hi and welcome to the first edition of the Fantasy Freako’s pre-season rave for 2011. This year promises to be like no other, with the addition of a 17th AFL side making the competition as unpredictable as ever. With bigger squad sizes, two more rounds and bye(s) thrown into the mix, it will be more about strategy than anything this year. Enjoy this week’s read and as an added bonus in 2011, you can follow me on twitter. Get exclusive AFL Dream Team information from the NAB challenge games live and post game.

Also lookout for Freako’s radar where each week I will highlight which players I am keeping a close eye on. These can easily be identified by a radar symbol next to their name. Take note also, Round 1 scores have not been included due to the revised NAB Cup format. BENCH WILL BE CRITICAL IN 2011

The importance of nailing your bench this year cannot be underestimated. Unlike previous years when we only used emergencies in case of injury or a late change, in 2011 they will be active for us most weeks. The introduction of bye(s) may cause mayhem for some, but remember that there will be no head- to-head league games during the multi-team round byes in Rounds 4, 5, 6, 16 and 19.

There are a plethora of bench options this year, with the providing us with some great buys in every position. Youngster Alik Magin has been a standout so far, but he’s currently on the and unless he gets upgraded anytime soon, he won’t be eligible to play in Round 1. has been the pick of the bunch so far, but he too is rookie listed. Of the players that can be selected, mature-age recruit Nicholas Duigan has had an immediate impact in the Blues defence. He looks to have cemented a place in the line up for Round 1 with some solid form in his three games. He racked up a lazy 93 points last week against GWS, but we can’t read too much into that. Other player’s that have caught the eye are young Docker and Saints third-year player Alistair Smith.

At the basement against Fremantle, you may have to think again.

CLAYE BEAMS JOSH DRUMMOND

He has the Beams name but only time will tell if he’s anywhere near as good The fact that Drummond is already on the Lions injury list should be of no as his brother. He’s been elevated to the senior list this year which suggests surprise to anyone. He has been hampered by a hip injury and will miss that Voss has every intention of playing him. The Lions have plenty of at least the next three weeks, which means that he could go into Round 1 positions to fill in the midfield and at the basement price he’s a bargain. He without any match practise. That’s a recipe for disaster considering what his hasn’t set the world on fire so far this pre-season, but make sure you keep injury history is like. Despite his tempting price, avoid him and save yourself him in the back of your mind nonetheless. a trade.

Freako Radar player - potential pick

@FantasyFreako - It looks like being a long year for the Lions. Besides youngster , there is very little to get excited about. CARLTON

BRYCE gIBBS

Gibbs will surely be one of the most selected players this season due to I would be staggered if Laidler didn’t play in Round 1. He was starved of his dual position status. A return to the midfield is on the cards after he opportunities at Geelong, but as soon as the Blues picked him up his stocks spent much of last year deep in defence. He was one of several Blues that rose. He will definitely have an impact this season and at $177,300 he could dominated last week against GWS, finishing with 24 disposals and 93 be a good buy as a fifth or sixth defender. He didn’t dominate against GWS points. Gibbs has been a star across the past three seasons, averaging an last week, but he was still solid nonetheless with 10 disposals, six marks and impressive 97 points per match in that period. 55 points.

We’re yet to see Didak this pre-season, and I strongly doubt that the Magpies After averaging career-high 99 points per match in 2009, Davis got nowhere will play him in this week. The lively forward has had an injury near that last season, averaging 64 points per game. His time in the midfield interrupted pre-season after undergoing shoulder surgery after the Grand dried up and so did his scores, scoring over 80 points just four times. Final, and he may be a little underdone going into Round 1. Take all of that He lined up in defence last week against the Swans, and based on his into account before picking him in your side, as there is every chance that performance, it could become a permanent role now that Krakouer is in the he may suffer an early price drop, especially if Mick uses him as an impact side.

PAUL CHAPMAN

There have been whispers around that Chapman may be carrying a calf There is a lot of Corey in the way that Duncan goes about his game. He injury, which is why we haven’t seen him yet this pre-season. I doubt that the runs hard, tackles strongly and picks up plenty of touches along the way. Cats would confirm or deny this either way, but if we don’t see him play over He played in the guts last week against the Saints and dominated scoring the next two weeks, the question has to be asked. He was a star in 2010, a game-high 112 points. Admittedly the Cats were missing several key averaging a career-high 28 disposals and 114 points per game. Chapman is midfielders, but the performance was of highest quality nonetheless. Despite the most expensive forward in the competition this year at $472,200. his high starting price, I wouldn’t hesitate in picking him.

Despite not playing, At 61kg there may not be much of Matera by looking at his light frame, but at $114,400 you would be crazy not to start with him in your team. He top the kid can play. His 72 points were the equal-most of any Gold Coast player scored for the Suns in their clash against the Swans and was just as good last week against West Coast, finishing with 14 disposals, four marks and against GWS. As we all know he was a tackling machine at North Melbourne, one goal. He played all but one game in the VFL last season and led the Suns ranking 12th in the AFL for average tackles between 2006-09. for goals with 23. Although he may not end up being a keeper, at the bargain price of $97,600 he will make you plenty of money.

He was the Demons most productive Essendon, finishing with 25 disposals, five marks, three tackles and a team- player behind last week against Essendon, finishing with 19 high 90 points. The Demons like getting the ball into his hands and don’t disposals and 85 points. He’s going to be a star of the competition, but in forget the freebies he gets from the kick-ins. He plays the sweeping role saying that, I wouldn’t be selecting him in my starting squad. At $316,100 magnificently and should be considered for a starting berth. I would look at finding some extra cash and turning him into a premium instead.

If you’re after a unique pick as your second ruckman, then McEvoy could be One thing is for sure, Ross Lyon sticks to his guns. He suggested during the worth a punt. Entering his fourth season, he should step up and become the summer that Gilbert may play in attack this year and that’s where he lined up Saints No.1 ruckman, as Gardiner is still recovering from injury. He averaged in his first match for 2011 against the Cats. He played 68% of the game and 58 points per match last season and he should eclipse that this year, given he finished with only seven touches, clearly not enough for a player priced at gets more game time. He impressed last week with 13 disposals, 13 hitouts $387,100. Until he returns to defence, stay well clear of him. and 70 points against Geelong.

Freako Radar player - potential pick

@FantasyFreako - under $400k is a bargain if you ask me. He is clearly the best key forward in the competition.

ANDREJS EVERITT NICK MALCESKI

The Swans track record with recycled players is exceptional. All three Malceski was one of the bargain buys of last season, however some recruits last year had career-best seasons, with two of them finishing in the coaches may be put off this year by his starting price. He’s one of the top-three of the clubs’ B&F award. Everitt is the big recruit this year and if better defenders in the AFL, despite him having a couple of lean years in his performances to date are anything to go by, we can add his name to the 2008-09. He was back to his best last season, collecting the fourth-most success list. He mopped up everything last week against the Magpies and points at Sydney which included clocking up 100 or points in seven games. finished with 16 disposals, five marks and 70 points. He was the Swans leading disposal-winner and ranked third for marks. He’s looked good so far this pre-season and has to be considered.

@FantasyFreako - Very little will change with the Swans this season. Defence will once again be the key component of their game plan.

Cox has turned it on in the opening this kid is all class. He started as a substitute against the Suns last week two rounds and although some may question the opposition, it’s the and played 32 minutes in the second half, showing glimpses his talents.

@FantasyFreako - Jack Darling is surely in the mix for a Round 1 debut. He looked quite at home in the Eagles forward line last week with 14 touches and four tackles.

SHAUN HIggINS MATTHEW BOYD

I know he burned plenty of us last season, but Higgins looks to be in sparkling If you don’t want to pay top dollar for Swan, then you can build your midfield touch. From all reports he’s over the injuries that held him back and he looks around Boyd. He is a Dream Team jet and the Etihad Stadium specialist, set for a big year. He finished with 18 disposals, four marks, two goals and 81 averaging 123 points per match at the venue in 2010. Considering the Bull- points last week against the Lions. He has dual position status again this year, dogs play 13 games there this season, he’s hard to pass up. Boyd averaged which will help us in covering injuries/bye(s) during the year. the third-most points of any player last season behind Swan and Ablett.
