ROO RUCK: WHY TODD GOLDSTEIN IS A MUST-HAVE IN SUPERCOACH

NEWS: ABLETT TO REST SHOULDER INDEFINITELY

It’s the third time in his past 10 games that Fyfe has scored at least 150 SuperCoach points.

The “perma-captain” title has long belonged to Gary Ablett but the little master is struggling with a shoulder injury and is on the way out of thousands of SuperCoach teams this week.

He was captain of Get A Kick, this week’s winning SuperCoach squad, earning coach Alex Wratten a cool $3000.

CHAMPION DATA MARK WATCH

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: JOSH J. KENNEDY

Kennedy was the top-ranked player of Round 2 with 178 SuperCoach points. He was unstoppable in attack, booting a round-high 10 goals, of which six came in the third term alone. He finished with 15 disposals, seven marks inside 50, four contested marks and a game-high 13 score involvements from 100 per cent game time.

MARKET WATCH

Gary Ablett

Ablett’s price will plummet after his next match after he could only post 87 SuperCoach points against the Saints. He finished with 23 disposals, six contested possessions, three clearances and one tackle from 87 per cent game time. He also recorded one goal, one score assist and was involved in seven scoring chains.

Nat Fyfe

Fyfe was best afield against the Cats and finished with 162 SuperCoach points. It was

his ability to win his own ball that once again shone, recording an equal career-high

25 contested possessions. He finished with 36 disposals, six clearances (two from centre bounces), seven inside-50s, two score assists and three goals.

Dustin Martin

Martin bounced back strongly against the Bulldogs, finishing with 31 disposals, 12

contested possessions, five clearances, four inside-50s, six tackles and 139 SuperCoach points from 80 per cent game time. He also had a major impact on the scoreboard, recording three score assists, six score involvements and one goal.

YOUNG GUN: KAMDYN McINTOSH

McIntosh wasn’t able to replicate his Round 1 heroics against the Bulldogs, finishing

with 68 SuperCoach points from 81 per cent game time. Collecting 24 disposals, his poor ball use impacted his score, recording a kicking efficiency of only 50 per cent which included five direct turnovers by foot. He covered a lot of territory, recording a combined 10 inside 50s/rebound 50s.
