Fantasy Impact: 2019 Rule Changes
ST KILDA
No real surprise that Dan Hannebery is expected to play a fair bit through the midfield at his new club, he is coming off a poor injury interrupted season in which he averaged 18.7 Disposals (AFL Fantasy Ave: 62.4).
“I suppose he plays that wing, inside-mid role so I’ll be looking to get to know him really well and work with him a fair bit in the pre-season” Blake Acres on Dan Hannebery.

AFL FANTASY ANALYSIS
Patrick Cripps scored 100pts or more in 10 of his last 11 games in the 2018 H&A season, he averaged 118.3pts over the same period.
Cripps scored 100pts or more in 63.6% of games & 120pts or more in 31.8% of games in 2018.
Cripps was able to take his fantasy game to a new level in 2018 averaging over 100pts for the first time in his career, with extra midfield support in 2019 he could maintain his elite level average.
Ownership might still be on the lower side at Round 1 next season, he could be a decent unique option.
