The fantasy immediate update can really throw your placing around. before Friday is was no. 428. After Friday I was 5500 after scoring 295 from 3 players. After the day games on Saturday I was 22000 and after the night games I was 11000. And I hope to be back to under 1000 after the games today as I have Cornes, Watson, Lobbe and Wines. Must work some way of getting Ablett into my team. His cost won't have gone up much as his break even was 128 and he scored 146.
Don't expect G.Cornes will have paid much attention to the Collingwood/Geelong game but if he had he would have noticed Steve Johnson put up with much worse than Dangerfield. Every time he got the ball, and often just when he got near it he was grabbed by McAffer. Umpires should really do something about this, marking a player and keeping them quiet is one thing but McAffer stepped into illegal play plenty of times last night by pulling Steve Johnson out of play as soon as his arm went in the balls direction. Allowing the game to flow is a directive usually followed in big games but it has its limits.
The Geelong/Collingwood game was a disaster for DT/fantasy with Beams(87), Pendlebury(94), Swan(90), Johnson(69) and Enright pulling out before the game. Even Selwood, although he scored 116, was well held after half time. He had 74 up to half time. Although I won't score well and my fantasy skip was a disaster(138) I'm looking at winning a majority of my games. In RDT I had Ablett but my other players in RDT didn't score as well as those in fantasy. Some of the coaches seem to be too loyal to one team, for instance one has 6 Brisbane players and one has Pittard and Butcher. Most have Ablett as skip but even with that high score you only need 3 bad choices to rub out any advantage.
