Round 24 Captains Leading Scorers Since Round 20 CHAMPION/DATA/ISSUE 23 Hi and welcome to the 23rd and final edition of the Fantasy Freako’s rave for 2011. In what promises to be a ripper final round of the year, a lot of team’s fortunes will depend on what happens at the selection table on Thursday night, as I’m sure there will be a few surprises among the ins and outs. Enjoy this week’s final rave and good luck to all coaches participating in Grand Finals, as well as the select few that are in the race for the FJ Cruiser. I’m sure you’ll have a few sleepless nights heading into the final lockout of the year. ROUND 24 CAPTAINS LEADING SCORERS SINCE ROUND 20 Only one of my captain selections let me down last week, with Stevie J the If you currently don’t have Dane Swan and are looking at upgrading one only player scoring below 80 points after he was well contained by young of your midfielders, then he is an absolute must! He leads all scorers Swan Nick Smith. Collectively the group averaged 105 points per match across the past month with an impressive average of 134 points per between them, but that figure doesn’t include Sam Mitchell’s donut after game. Not too far behind is Swan’s clone in Tom Rockliff, who averages he was a late withdrawal against the Western Bulldogs. His no-show was a 131 points per match since Round 20, which includes scoring a round- savage blow for over 50,000 coaches, but thankfully he was only rested and high 151 points last week against West Coast. If we look at his past 10 he’ll definitely return this week against Gold Coast. performances, he has cracked the ton on each occasion, with the only Looking ahead to Grand Final week, there are three clear standouts, with other player in the league to achieve this feat being Swan himself. The Dane Swan, Gary Ablett and Matthew Boyd all sound selections. As I similarities between the two players are indeed remarkable. outlined in the last rave, there’s no reason to take the arm band off Swan, who’s currently unstoppable, averaging 133 points per match since returning If you already have Swan and Rockliff, then Sam Mitchell looks to from his Arizona sabbatical in Round 14. His last three games against this be the next best bet. He’ll be refreshed after the week off, and more week’s opponent Geelong have also been exceptional, returning scores of importantly he comes up against Gold Coast, a team which has given up 127, 141 and most recently 115 points in Round 8. the most points of any side this year. He racked up 38 disposals when he last came up against them in Round 13, which included scoring 132 If you’re looking for that point of difference, then perhaps Matthew Boyd points – his second-best effort for the year. The extractor is currently in could get you over the line. He has been a consistent scorer since Round 16, recording at least 100 points in each match since, for an average of 116 per career-best form averaging 113 points per match – up by 13 points on game – ranked eighth in the competition.

His recent record against Hawthorn is also impressive, returning a pair of 135’s from his past two appearances, with his Player Club Position D M T G DT most recent coming in Round 13 this year.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 4.Indd
    VFL Round 1 14 - 17 April 2017 $3.00 Photo: Cameron Grimes New VFL season begins Welcome to season 2017 in the Peter Jackson VFL. Plenty has happened since last September when Footscray was crowned premier. We have seen 13 VFL players provided with an AFL opportunity, selected in the 2016 NAB AFL national and rookie draft s. Casey and Geelong both produced three draft ees, with Coburg, Footscray and North Ballarat providing two draft ees each. The pleasing aspect has been seeing the likes of Tom Stewart, Mitch Hannan, Robbie Fox and Tim Smith debut in the early rounds of the AFL season. The competition this year will feature 14 clubs, with Frankston not provided a VFL licence for the 2017 season. The club has had a rich history of providing a pathway and opportunities for footballers in the region – none more evident than the debut for Sydney in recent weeks of 2014 Fothergill-Round Medal winner Nic Newman. However, it was decided at the end of last year that without the necessary off -field structures in place, AFL Victoria was not confident financial projections provided by the club could be met. We have a strong willingness to ensure there is a VFL presence in the region into the future, but it must be viable and sustainable both on and off the field in the long term. This has been highlighted in the regular communication AFL Victoria has had with the new board at the club. In other pre-season news, at the VFL Season Launch last week we revealed there will be a triple-header of matches for the 2017 Victorian state league Grand Final day at Etihad Stadium on Sunday September 24.

  • 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. With interstate travel a key component in the right player’s at the right price. Looking at the approximate for every AFL player, looking at player’s that fire on their travels has breakevens for this round, Drew Petrie is one player to keep a close eye proven to be an interesting exercise. 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. Gary Ablett should always be his game against Sydney in Round 14 has been his only interstate trip. a target, and the little master will need to produce something special against Richmond this week, if indeed he actually plays, to keep his If we look at the best performers across the season, it’s no surprise that price.

  • ADELAIDE CROWS Chris Knights (Fwd) $262,800 Knights Returned to the Line up Last Week Against Port Adelaide and Was One of Adelaide’S Best, Finishing with 106 Points
    ADELAIDE CROWS CHRIS KNIGHTS (Fwd) $262,800 Knights returned to the line up last week against Port Adelaide and was one of Adelaide’s best, finishing with 106 points. He gathered a team-high 31 disposals and 10 marks, while also pumping the ball inside 50 on five occasions. BERNIE VINCE (Mid) $378,200 Vince’s tally of 125 points last week against Port Adelaide was only the fourth time this season he has exceeded the 100 point mark.
