Here's what Calvin from The Traders had to say about our boys on the weekend:
On Sunday afternoon we saw the Brisbane Lions take on the Gold Coast Suns. With all the guns sitting this one out, it was time for the rookies to shine.
Rhys Mathieson (MID, $158,000) did just that scoring an impressive 55pts. He averaged 96pts in the TAC Cup this year and looks ready to go.
Slightly more expensive, Ben Keays (MID, $176,000) looked sharp at times for his 59pts and can produce big numbers on his day. He averaged 130 in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, racking up 29 touches a game.
Ryan Harwood (DEF, $198,000) has flown under the Fantasy radar this pre-season and should be considered. He scored 66 and is only in 2 per cent of Fantasy teams.
Top scoring for the game though was Mitch Robinson (FWD/MID, $504,000). He ended 2015 like a steam train, averaging 117 in his last seven games. He’s only owned by 3 per cent of Fantasy coaches and is a great ‘player of difference’ in your forward line.
Lions.com.au looks at other AFL Fantasy Standouts:
Tom Cutler (DEF, $317,000) was the Brisbane Lions’ second highest fantasy scorer with 83 points. The running half back had 21 disposals and laid three tackles. Cutler will be looking to lock down his position this year after a strong finish to the 2015 Season.
Nick Robertson (MID, $306,000) finished Sunday’s game with a Fantasy score of 70. The tough midfielder had 19 disposals, and laid three tackles. Robertson has been a strong performer throughout the Lions’ pre-season. He’s a strong runner who finished first in the Club’s 3km time trial. Along with his running ability, he attacks the ball hard, and would make a strong addition to your Fantasy line up.
Sam Mayes (DEF, $333,000) has been another strong performer this pre-season. He’s looking super fit, and if you asked the Club’s fitness staff who has impressed over the summer months, Sam Mayes’ name would be sure to rate a mention. Mayes had a solid game on Sunday scoring a AFL Fantasy score of 70. He will look to nail down a spot on the half-back flank and wing in 2016.
