Tipsters got it wrong and plenty of Fantasy coaches were in the same boat. The Bombers enjoyed a 13-point win but along with it, a thumping total of 1870 Fantasy points to Melbourne’s 1258.
10 players score more than 90 points on Saturday including outstanding performances from David Zaharakis (MID, $470,000) and Zach Merrett (FWD/MID, $537,000). The duo have scored over 100 in both matches so far and should appear in more Fantasy teams than they do at the moment.
The 15 marks Joe Daniher (FWD, $337,000) took helped him to 116. If he kicked a little more truly, the big Mo could have smashed out a 130+ score.
The value boat for Darcy Parish (MID, $319,000) may sail very soon. The first year player scored 102 thanks to 21 touches, eight tackles and a goal. His breakeven is 0, but he has already added $59K to his starting price. This is probably your last chance to trade him in your team.
Speaking of bargains, Michael Hartley (DEF, $147,000) will have quite a few more owners following his 74 point effort. The defender took six marks to go with his 14 disposals and epic goal to see his price increase $22K and breakeven to sit at a low -12. Matt Dea (DEF, $216,000) has a breakeven of -4 while Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti (DEF/FWD, $189,000) added $25K this week to go into round three with a breakeven of -3. In a very composed performance, Walla had 20 disposals and took 8 marks for 81 points to making him worthy of starting on your field down back.
The Bombers are currently ranked third for Fantasy points for (1707 average) behind Western Bulldogs (1917.5) and Hawthorn (1714).
