There are plenty of options in the Essendon v Sydney Swans game at Etihad Stadium. Picking the right midfielders will be the key to the win here, with Jobe Watson, Dyson Heppell, Brent Stanton and Brendon Goddard all worthy picks for the Bombers, while the form of Josh Kennedy, Kieren Jack and Dan Hannebery will make for interesting times at the Fantasy selection table. Lockout: Friday 7:50pm (AEST). For Fremantle v Geelong, Matthew Pavlich is playing his 300th match and while it may feel like a sentimental pick, his form against the Cats is pretty good. In the last five years he has posted scores of 124, 127, 126, 125 and 112 against the Cats. Get him in your forward line and cheer on the milestone man! Lockout: Saturday 7:40pm (AEST) Remember to stay up to date with the latest Fantasy news by following us on Twitter and liking us on Facebook.
