AFL Daily Fantasy Team of the Week – Round 15
Defenders
Jake Kelly
The Adelaide youngster had a decent outing against the Hawks last week, racking up 73 points in the loss. Comes up against Carlton this week, at Etihad Stadium so the conditions should be perfect for the defender. Strong Adelaide theme throughout this team as we think they’re a big chance to bounce back and have a big win against the Blues.
Mitchell Hibberd
The defender/mid gets his long awaited 2nd game of the season this week as the Roos travel to the Gold Coast to take on the Suns. Had just 10 touches in his first game but that was all the way back in March so is still relatively unknown. Gold Coast are a top eight side in terms of allowing fantasy points so there should be opportunity for the youngster.
Midfielders
Gary Ablett
Last time Ablett played North Melbourne he played one of the best AFL games in history. He had 162 points on 45 disposals, 27 of them contested. Missed last week with a calf niggle but is back in the side to play his 300th game this weekend. All signs are pointing to a monster.
Joel Selwood
Has there been a better big game player in the last few years than Joel Selwood? He seems to always rise to the occasion when squaring up in a game of importance. Plays the Giants this weekend in a first vs third battle. Got concussed early in the game last week but that’s nothing new for Selwood. Should be more ball and more importantly, more tackles to go round with brother Scott coming out of the side.
Mitch Wallis
At just $11,900 I see real value in Mitch Wallis. The Dog has been capable of some monster scores and while he might be relatively inconsistent away from home, like all the Bulldogs, he lives for playing at Etihad. Is yet to score a 100 in his 5 games back from injury this season but has provided a 89, 97 and 88 in his three games at Etihad. Should be around the 100 mark again.
Hugh Greenwood
The mature aged rookie exploded for 122 points last weekend to cement his spot in the Adelaide side going forward and more importantly a spot in their rotating midfield. Was spending more time forward in the earlier parts of the year but after the 21 disposal, 9 tackle performance last week should be trusted for more time in the guts. Plays against Carlton so should have good opportunity.
Forwards
Jake Stringer
Had a 4 out of 5 game stretch scoring under 60 before last week which was why he is priced at just $9,100. Is a much better player than his price tag suggests and there was real value in him last week as he racked up 93 on 18 touches and 1 goal. Would be a ridiculous scorer if he laid more forward half tackles but at his price another 90-100 score would be perfect here.
Jonathon Beech
After a 72-point performance in his 1st game, Beech was a little lackluster in his 2nd with just 48 points. At just $8000 is still a value pick and continuing with the Adelaide theme we think he’s a possibility to score in the 70s-80s once again.
Ruck
Todd Goldstein
Have been picking Toddy in the lineup every week in hope that we get that Goldy game where he goes off for 150. I feel it’s coming in the next few weeks so we’ll stick with him. Only averages 91 on the season but has a score of 148 under his belt.
