AFLRATINGS Fantasy Notes: Brynn Teakle makes his club debut for the Kangaroos and should provide support for Tristan Xerri at the ruck position.

The Kangaroos conceded 65pts last week to the Eagles, it is the first time this year they have conceded fewer than 100pts in a game (Season Ave AGA: 113.6, Rank 18).Â

The Giants are conceding 54.5 inside 50s per game this season (Rank 16), they are averaging 13.6 marks inside F50 this season (Rank 2).
