CHAMPION/DATA/ISSUE 2 Hi and welcome to the second edition of the Fantasy Freako’ Pre-Season rave. I’ sure that we’re all looking forward to the NAB Cup Grand Final this week between Collingwood and Essendon, but our focus will also be on the NAB Challenge games. With most teams fielding their strongest side of the pre-season this week, it will be a good indication of where some of the player’s are at. Keep track of who get games this week, as they will more than likely be in the mix for Round 1. Just a reminder about next week’s rave, you can expect to receive it on Thursday due to the public holiday in . Even the Freako deserves a day off like everyone else.

Enjoy this week’s read and don’ forget to follow me @FantasyFreako on Twitter. Get exclusive AFL Dream Team information from the NAB challenge games live and post game. MPP (Multi Position Players)

There will be a greater reliance on multi position players (MPP) this year as we look to cover those dreaded donuts during bye(s) rounds. Regardless of what approach you take, it’s inevitable that you will be stretched at stages during the year. Selecting the right MPP will have its rewards, but you have to do it correctly to reap the full benefits. For example, it’s no point having Goddard, Gilbee and Deledio all as defenders, if you don’t have a MPP in the midfield that you can swap them around with. In this instance, having Gibbs as a midfielder will enable you to make such moves. This philosophy also applies to swapping players between you midfield and forward line. There is no right or wrong amount to have in your side, so don’t lose focus of the big picture. It helps to have them in your team, but don’t make it the sole focus of your selection process.

Below I have included a table of the best performing MPP, which includes their average for each year of the past three years and overall record over this period. It’s no surprise that Goddard is the pick of the bunch, with Gibbs not too far behind. Don’t right off Jetta or Dangerfield, as these are two players’ that are expected to make great inroads in 2011.

@FantasyFreako - What a game from Nathan Fyfe. He was a sub last week against the Bulldogs, but came on after half time and turned it on collecting 23 disposals and 72 points. gEElONg CATS

MITCHEll BrOWN

Brown, the Cats first pick at the 2008 NAB AFL Draft, has had wretched luck Enright must be seriously considered after averaging a career-high 92 points with injuries. He’s finally got his body right though and looked impressive in per match last season. He was prolific at times, topping 30 disposals on five attack last week in the NAB Challenge, finishing with 14 disposals and 62 occasions, prompting opposition sides to send a tagger to him. He is one of points. With the jPod out injured and Mooney still struggling, we could see the most durable and reliable defenders in the AFL, missing only two &A him line up in Round 1. games since 2006.

@FantasyFreako - The Cats took a second-string side to AAMI Stadium last week, with only nine premiership players making the trip. Disregard the result.

ZAC SMITH

Guy McKenna expects Smith to play every game this season, which is why Fraser will lead the Suns’ ruck brigade this season, which makes him a almost every coach has him as their third ruckman. A heel injury has kept bargain based on his starting price. He’s way too expensive to have on your him out of the NAB Cup/Challenge Series so far, but he is expected to play bench, so you’ll have to start him if you want him in your side. He was Gold this week against Brisbane. The 21 year-old will be Fraser’s understudy in Coast’s leading scorer last week in the NAB Challenge, finishing with 12 2011. disposals, 23 hitouts and 82 points. gold Coast Suns AFl Dream Team Points NAB CUP/NAB CHALLENGE

MAx BAIlEy

You have to give credit to the Hawks for their persistence with Bailey, but There’s a sense of déjà vu with Hodge this season. After averaging a unfortunately he’s suffered another setback. He suffered swelling to the knee career-high 117 points in the Hawks premiership year in 2008, he struggled after an intra-club hitout a few weeks ago and has missed the entire NAB the following pre-season with injury and only averaged 91 per game that Cup campaign. A popular fourth ruckman for many coaches, he’s confident year. He’s coming off a ripper season this year, but just like then, injury may of playing in 2011. keep him sidelined for the entire NAB Cup series. Keep that in mind before committing.

SAM FISHEr

Despite suffering a heavy knock last week, Fisher has escaped serious injury It might sound a little farfetched, but Gwilt looms as a decent pick for your and the club has confirmed that he will train this week and be available for defence. Let’s look at the facts. He’s coming off a career-best season and Round 1. He is one of my all-time favourites, averaging at least 80 points in fellow defender Gilbert looks like playing as a forward this year. There will each of the past five seasons – including 85 per game in 2010. be more points up for grabs in his absence which could see him eclipse his 2010 average of 72 point per match.

@FantasyFreako - With the Saints placing on the long-term injury list, selecting Ben McEvoy has been made that much easier.

NICk MAlCESkI

I’ve put the mozz on Malceski. After speaking glowingly about him in last Mumford was a revelation last season, averaging 80 points per match and week’s rave, he injured his knee at training and will now undergo his second ranking third for average AFL hitouts during the H&A rounds. He’s had an LARS operation. What a blow for him and the Swans. At least it’s happened injury interrupted pre-season, but he’ll be cherry ripe for Round 1. With in the pre-season. Seaby returning to the fold he may not get the same amount of game time, but he should still be one of the leading ruckmen nonetheless.

Last year he averaged a career-high 26 doesn’t find enough of the ball for my liking. He has failed to average more disposals per match, but 18 of these were handballs. He makes up for than 14 disposals per game in any year to date, winning 49% of these inside this shortfall with his relentless tackling, averaging six per match across the forward 50 across his career. He has been earmarked for a midfield role his career and an impressive seven per game in 2010 – ranked fifth in in the past, but until we see it happen, I would look elsewhere. the league.
