It was a tough trip to Adelaide Oval last Sunday to take on the Crows.
Joe Daniher took his score to triple figures thanks to some late goals. He booted four majors but was also impressive taking 11 marks and collecting 21 disposals. Daniher’s was his second highest score of the season and his highest since round two (116) against the Demons.
The past month has been very positive for Craig Bird and his Fantasy scoring. If he is available as a free agent in your Elite league, consider jumping on following his 107 on the weekend to take his four round average to 96.75; as good as most available premium forward options.
Adelaide’s number one ruckman Sam Jacobs went down with an ankle injury allowing Matthew Leuenberger rack up a season high 53 hitouts. He has now scored back-to-back Fantasy tons.
Zach Merrett scored his ninth 100+ score in a row and his 15th for the season while Brendon Goddard knocked up his tenth.
The Bombers managed to score 1514 points to Adelaide’s 1825 keeping Essendon in ninth spot for Fantasy points scored in 2016.
Good luck if you are competing in the AFL Fantasy finals starting this week. Hopefully you are in the top four so that if you win you go straight through to the preliminary final (or get a double chance if you lose). For those in elimination finals, go hard!
