All reports coming out of Geelong this pre-season suggest Patrick Dangerfield is in peak condition, 12 months ago he was dealing with a back complaint & subsequently injured his hamstring in the final JLT Series game which led to his Round 1 absence.
“I’m not sure in numbers but in terms of a percentage it would be easily double, if not more which is pretty significant” Patrick Dangerfield on completing the amount of training sessions this pre-season compared to last via @BenGuthrie_.
Dangerfield averaged 105.4pts in AFL Fantasy & 121.7pts in SuperCoach in 2018, he averaged 121.1pts in AFL Fantasy & 136.4pts in SuperCoach in 2017.

Further comments from Port Adelaide suggest they won’t isolate Justin Westhoff to one part of the ground this season, he recorded a career season high 19.9 Disposals & 4.9 Tackles in 2018.
“Hopefully this year we can settle Hoff (Justin Westhoff) down a little bit more without having to need him in the Ruck.. so there’s a chance that he will play.. 50-50 Midfield & Forward” Ken Hinkley.
Westhoff averaged 101.9pts in AFL Fantasy & 101.2pts in SuperCoach in 2018.

The prospects for Zac Clarke playing in Round 1 probably revolve around the fitness of Joe Daniher, the last 4 weeks of pre-season could impact the Ruck structure for plenty of fantasy coaches.
“The makeup of the forward line will depend on whether we play 2 rucks or not.. We need Joey (Daniher) up & going” Tom Bellchambers.
Clarke may be a decent bench option even if he doesn’t play in Round 1, Bellchambers has played in 75.6% of games in the last 2 years but has completed a solid pre-season so far.
“I’ve been pretty happy with the summer.. Last pre-season I had knee surgery in late January, so compared to last year I’ve got a lot of work in.” Tom Bellchambers.
