Cheap +3's đ When it comes to Fantasy Footy, coaches love nothing more than fielding players with conducive roles to score bulk fantasy points! Inevitably, defenders who play on out of the defensive goal square when kicking the ball in are massive winners. For the record, if a kick-in is taken within the defensive goal square, no stat (or more importantly the +3!) is recorded. However, as soon as a player leaves the square, they cash in with a cheap +3 (kick) or less commonly +2 (handball). In this series of articles, I will breakdown and analyse each respective clubs kick-in numbers for 2022 and provide my two cents ('Crystal Ball') on what to look out for in season 2023! Information of value as we look ahead to selecting our starting squads.

2022 Fantasy Review: Western Bulldawgs
Western Bulldogs... An indifferent season after coming close in 2021! Never seen them barrack so hard for Collingwood as Carlton snatched defeat from the jaws of victory to allow the Doggies to scrape into 8th position! Inevitably, it only added one week to their season. From a fantasy perspective, the dogs are always fairly relevant with several big names in Fantasy circles! Read on to find out how they fared.
2022 Fantasy Review: Glorified Traffic Cones
West Coast... Let's just say, thank f*ck Norf as in the competition! It just about couldn't have gone worse for the Weagles with experienced players waving the white flag and youngsters being plucked out of Peel Thunder's 3rd grade side for a game...
2022 Fantasy Review: Sydney
Sydney... Bridesmaids in what can only be described as a royal dicking at the hands of the Cats. In fantasy land, a solid season with several big guns firing and some young talent starting to realise their full potential!
2022 Fantasy Review: St Kilda
St Kilda... Well, that was very St Kilda. 8-3 halfway through the season with Ratts signed on for a further two seasons, only to miss finals and sack the the guy you labelled "our man" some 100 days later! Believe it or not, the mighty Sainters took pole position on the Fantasy ladder without me tampering with the numbers... In these reviews, we will take a closer look at each clubâs Fantasy snapshot for season 2022, whilst I nominate players for MVP, best rookie and biggest flop. I will also provide my two cents on what to look out for in 2023!
2022 Fantasy Review: Richmond
Richmond... There abouts in season 2022 but my word did they steal defeat from the jaws of victory on multiple occasions! From a fantasy perspective, not a heap to crow about with the exception of Jayden Short's start to the season and a couple rookies coming through late in the piece. In these reviews, we will take a closer look at each clubâs Fantasy snapshot for season 2022, whilst I nominate players for MVP, best rookie and biggest flop. I will also provide my two cents on what to look out for in 2023!
2022 Fantasy Review: Port Adelaide
Port Adelaide... "Never tear us apart" until we've cooked the season five weeks in and Kochie starts a riot in Alberton! From a fantasy perspective, Port fared a lot better and were the stingiest team going around, giving up the least amount of Fantasy points of any team in 2022.
2022 Fantasy Review: Norf
Norf... Positives to come out of the season about as rare as hen's teeth! Wooden Spooners in more ways than one, coming out dead last on the Fantasy ladder and managing to concede the most points as well... In these reviews, we will take a closer look at each clubâs Fantasy snapshot for season 2022, whilst I nominate players for MVP, best rookie and biggest flop. I will also provide my two cents on what to look out for in 2023!
2022 Fantasy Review: Melbourne
Melbourne... Unfortunately not a grand old flag in season 2022 as they were bundled out in straights sets. From a fantasy perspective, we had the usual suspects post their 100+ average seasons and a few 'blue moon' standout performances from others in between! In these reviews, we will take a closer look at each clubâs Fantasy snapshot for season 2022, whilst I nominate players for MVP, best rookie and biggest flop. I will also provide my two cents on what to look out for in 2023!
2022 Fantasy Review: Hawthorn
Hawthorn... Not a bad season given the list they have at their disposal. From a fantasy perspective, almost leaked as many points as Norf and didn't fare too well collecting them either! In these reviews, we will take a closer look at each clubâs Fantasy snapshot for season 2022, whilst I nominate players for MVP, best rookie and biggest flop. I will also provide my two cents on what to look out for in 2023!
