CHAMPION/DATA/ISSUE 17 Hi and welcome to the seventeenth edition of the Fantasy Freako’s rave for 2011. There was genuine pandemonium among coaches last week, as the Heath Shaw saga unfolded. In this week’s rave I’ll be concentrating on how to replace him, as well as give you the regular gold that will get you through to the next round. Also as a side note, news out of the AFL this week is that we will return to the previous structure of a 22 round H&A season in 2012 (23 weeks with one split round) and most importantly the bye is done and dusted! Enjoy this week’s edition and best of luck to everyone for the upcoming round. SHAW NO MORE THE SUNS ARE SITTING DUCKS As I sat down to complete my trades last Friday afternoon, news It was always going to be the case with Gold Coast in its debut season filtered through that there was an important press conference about and the numbers should be of no surprise to anyone. The Suns have to commence. Before I knew it, Heath Shaw was suspended for eight conceded on average the most kicks, disposals, marks and goals of weeks and my trade plans were thrown into disarray. This is yet another example of why trading as late as possible on a Friday is the only way to any team this year, which has been great when our players have played go. Luckily for me, I had held back and I was able to eventually move him against them. They have conceded an average of 402 disposals per out for Sam Fisher. game – conceding a season-high 458 coming against Hawthorn in Round 13. This week they come against the might of the Magpies, If you were one of those coaches that jumped the gun and traded early, which could see the likes of Dane Swan and Scott Pendlebury run riot, then this week you must replace him. Looking at the leading candidates, considering they rank first and second respectively in the league for a dual position player would be useful at this time of year, which brings average points scored this season. into play the likes of Heath Scotland and Bryce Gibbs, but remember Carlton has a bye in Round 23 which could cause some problems. Below are the team averages in terms what each club has conceded One way to overcome that deadly finals bye is to bring in a player that this season in the respective statistics. has already completed his two byes, which then makes likes of Sam Fisher and Greg Broughton attractive propositions. Both players are solid scorers and in the case of the latter, he has taken over David Mundy’s role in the midfield which has in turn seen his scores go through the roof. DISPOSALS CONCEDED THIS SEASON If you’re after a point of difference though, then Stefan Martin could give you that vital edge come finals time.
