WE'RE turning things up a notch as the AAMI Community Series becomes some of the most important AFL Fantasy study coaches will have this pre-season.

All eyes will be on the cash cows and who will be there in round one such as Essendon's Jacob Farrow and Dyson Sharp to the key pair of Tigers in Sam Grlj and Sam Cumming.
It's not just the rookies. We get a chance to see how the new ruck rules could affect the big men. Will Tristan Xerri prove to be a value option that many are hoping? What does Luke Jackson's ruck/forward/midfield mix look like? Can Lachlan McAndrew hold down the No.1 ruck role at the Crows?
Calvin, Roy and Warnie throw out the key things they're looking at for each club as they get ready to watch the game with the live stats on AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App.
