TRAVIS Boak continued his good AFL Fantasy form with a huge game against the Swans on Saturday.
The Port Adelaide skipper starred from start to finish racking up 29 disposals, 6 tackles and 3 goals for an impressive 121 Dream Team points.
He was supported in the midfield by the consistent Brad Ebert who will be on a number of AFL Fantasy coaches’ radars with a 110 point return following a 100+ game against the Eagles last week.
Ollie Wines cemented his spot in most coaches starting 18 with 46 points in just a half of football. The Power’s first round pick is a near certainty to start in Round 1 and with his strong fitness base, is likely to get game time for much of the year, making his $156,700 price tag too good to pass up.

Kane Mitchell still needs to be elevated to be any chance in Round 1, but coaches will watch Alberton closely with many rating Mitchell as a potential fantasy stud. The mature-age recruit had 41 points playing just the second half to follow on from his 26 disposal game against the Demons in week two of the NAB Cup.
Jasper Pittard – a Dream Team bargain at just $132,600 – showed a glimpse of what he’s capable of, impressing across half back with 25 touches and a goal to finish with 108 points.
Fellow defender and bargain buy, Lewis Stevenson, rounded out his pre-season with a solid 81 point showing against the reigning premiers. At just $108,500, he is sure to pique the interest of a number of coaches. Sam Colquhoun is another Power defender with plenty of upside at a tad of $100,000 – the pre-season draft pick pushed his claim for a Round 1 spot with 19 disposals and a goal to finish with 74 points.
The twin towers of Matt Lobbe and Jarrad Redden were consistent in the ruck, increasing the likelihood both ruckmen will play come Round 1. Lobbe had 23 hitouts and a goal to finish with 73 points while Redden’s 4 tackles and 19 hitouts helped him to 69 points.
Restricted to just one half each, Jake Neade ($108,500) and Angus Monfries ($352,300) did enough to suggest they’ll be looked at closely leading in to the Round 1 lockout.
