IT'S the last piece of the pre-season puzzle for clubs before their first games of the season and for AFL Fantasy coaches, it is full of important data.

Match simulation gave coaches a look at potential Fantasy selections but without official data (shout out to the coaches who did count stats!). Clubs went in with different strategies as they prepare for the season proper.
