Six things we learned from Chapter 19

We went through 19 weeks of the AFL season with the final month in front of every team in the home and away campaign. With results looking more meaningful as the ladder takes shape, here’s what we learned from the weekend’s game. Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has arrived If we were giddy about last week’s Jamarra Ugle-Hagan clash against St Kilda, we’re officially hyped now following his superb performance against the incumbent prime minister on Saturday night. While the former stat-line No. 1 pick of five goals and six marks in such a big game is impressive, it’s the way he does it that really speaks volumes. Whether it’s a contested sign, an odd finish, a second attempt or a deft touch, you can’t help but think about what this Bulldog will be in a few years. We all know he has talent, just look at who he is compared to entering the competition (the one and only Lance Franklin), but it’s great to see his output reach the potential he clearly has. W...

Very unhelpful guide to Chapter Nineteen

The only guide for the round that admits it’s not at all helpful. What it lacks in insight, it makes up for with wild theories and detours to unrelated topics. This guide doesn’t help you for Round Nineteen. Friday Richmond vs. Fremantle (Marvel) 19:50 Fox/Seven This is another edition of ‘How Can Richmond Manufacture Another Loss,’ which has quickly become one of my favorite reboot TV shows. I’m really excited to see how they did this week. Maybe blow the big lead again? Or a bad goal kick? Maybe they’ve got something new, like everyone getting hurt running past the banners? Anticipation is killing me. The Dockers got a bit of good news this week, with the idea that a Grand Final parade could be held at Yarra by boat. This nautical theme will suit Dockers, especially with boarding and disembarking. What I’d like to see, if they reach the Grand Finals, is whether the Dockers honor their legacy by going on strike and holding the march. It...

NRL Fantasy team analysis: Chapter 19

After an 18th round full of missing big names and late draws, this week has been made easier thanks to the return of some Fantasy guns and more certainty around the final line-up of most squads.

Winger Maika Sivo came out on a score of 48 and 53 and at $486k is pretty affordable. Broncos: Payne Haas is back after a few weeks off due to a shoulder problem. The fast returns are good news for those who hold them, but if you don’t have them, their value won’t increase much this week. Origin stars Patrick Carrigan and Kurt Capewell are also back, meaning high-scoring rookie Zac Hosking is back in the extended reserves. Tesi Niu is likely to retain the fullback position, wi...

Six things we learned from Chapter 17

We’re 17 weeks through the AFL season and we’re starting to get an idea of ​​how the final will look like. With a great result coming out at the weekend, here’s what we’ve learned from the nine games that have just gone by. Geelong has what it takes to win it all Geelong sent out an ominous warning on Thursday night, keeping top-favourites Melbourne at home in what many think is the Grand Final preview. With both sides looking very confident of finishing in the top four, there is no doubt that they are in good combination to keep going. While some will point to this side of the Cat and reason that they often go this far without getting work done when it matters, something feels different about this side in 2022. Having launched many of the same teams over the past few years, the Cats have really found some players this season that have taken them to another level in Tyson Stengle, Sam De Koning, Tom Atkins and Brad Close. With this harvest taking their game to ne...

Lone Scout Fantasy Q&A: Chapter 17

The captaincy crisis made headlines the problems the Fantasy owners faced in Round 17, while there was a decision to be made on some of the traditional keepers facing slumping form and time out. The Lone Scout is here to answer big questions, including who is captain, whether to get rid of Payne Haas and what to do with Harry Grant, Cameron McInnes and Latrell Mitchell. Lone Scout Fantasy Q&A: Chapter 17 Was Latrell Mitchell bought? – @t.ewhetukihohepa A score of 43 in his first game since Round 5, which counts including 10 points from goal kick duty, is promising for Latrell. While I don’t see him becoming a top tier WFB this year, if he can score in his mid 40s more regularly then he’s good value for money at $557k. At a break even of 59, he’s unlikely to go up too much in this round, so you can hold back for now and see how he goes against the Knights. 599″, “>809”, “>959″]” data-eqio-prefix=”video-...
