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
After putting Fremantle away last week, the Hawks knocked off another challenger in the Sydney Swans by 89 points at ANZ Stadium.
DEF/MID Luke Hodge (133) added $17K to his price thanks to his 30 disposal game that also saw him take eight marks and lay seven tackles. Three goals to Cyril Rioli (121) helped the forward to his first Fantasy ton of the year.
Five players scored triple figures in the grand final rematch.
Jarryd Roughead (99) made a magnificent return to the side booting five goals while Jack Gunston (110) kicked four majors.
Top 5 Scorers v Sydney Swans
- 133 – Luke Hodge (DEF/MID, $584,000)
- 121 – Cyril Rioli (FWD, $416,000)
- 116 – Ben McEvoy (RUC, $369,000)
- 110 – Jack Gunston (FWD, $436,000)
- 101 – Grant Birchall (DEF, $428,000)
On The Radar
The time is right to get Jordan Lewis at a cheap price. The midfielder started the season like a house on fire averaging 134.8 in the opening five rounds before being suspended for a fortnight.
Now at $557,000, Lewis dropped $5K with his score of 98 but the good news is that his breakeven is a very achievable 102.
If you’re looking for an underpriced ruckman, Ben McEvoy (RUC, $369,000) has scored back-to-back tons in his two games back in the side. His 111 and 116 has brought his breakeven down to just 23 and he will be looking at some decent price rises over the next few weeks if he keeps up his form.
What’s Coming Up
On Friday night the Hawks face the Blues and it is a Fantasy Match Day game where you have the chance to win $10,000.
In the 28 point win back in round 13 last season, retired midfielder Brad Sewell racked up 29 disposals to top the Fantasy scores with 111. Isaac Smith scored 102.
