Warnie from The Traders, AFL.com.au’s NAB AFL Fantasy experts, will be taking a look at the Hawks each week exclusive to hawthornfc.com.au.
Last Week
The six goal win on Saturday night over the Cats saw plenty of Fantasy points scored with the Hawks racking up 1706, the fourth highest of the round.
Liam Shiels was outstanding collecting 25 touches, seven marks and 11 tackles while fellow midfielder Sam Mitchell laid seven tackles to go with his 28 disposals.
Six goals to Cyril Rioli helped him to 69 points while Grant Birchall scored his first Fantasy ton since round 16.
Once again Luke Hodge proved to be the premier Fantasy defender in the competition. He kicked the first goal of the game and was everywhere in the win at the MCG.
Top 5 Scorers v Geelong
- 126 – Liam Shiels (MID, $562,000)
- 110 – Sam Mitchell (MID, $554,000)
- 109 – Luke Hodge (DEF/MID, $508,000)
- 101 – Grant Birchall (DEF, $433,000)
- 98 – Jordan Lewis (MID, $563,000)
On The Radar
There is plenty of value in the Hawks as we hit up the semi-finals this round.
Jordan Lewis is priced well considering his average. His form has improved after a mid-season lull and at $563,000 Lewis is capable of scoring much higher than his price suggests.
Although he isn’t producing the numbers he was at the start of the season, Isaac Smith is a bargain at $489,000. He is priced below many bigger name premiums who are scoring around what he is.
What’s Coming Up
This Friday night the Hawks feature in another Match Day game.
Last time the Hawks played Port Adelaide, Isaac Smith top scored with 151. Jordan Lewis was busy with 130 and defender Taylor Duryea finished on 122.
With many high scorers and the Power giving up quite a few Fantasy points, we may see some big scores and the $10,000 could go off!
