IT'S the new Fantasy cheat sheet.

While AFL Fantasy begins in round one, Opening Round gave coaches a free look at some of the players they've been considering in the pre-season.

Now, all of these players have an early bye, so they had to impress to secure a spot in Classic sides.

While their scores don’t count in our Fantasy teams, they do factor into potential price increases and decreases.

The postponement of the two games in Queensland (Brisbane v Geelong and Gold Coast v Essendon) due to Tropical Cyclone Alfred means just four teams are in action this week.

Check out the full takeaways below.

Sydney 11.10 (76) lost to Hawthorn 14.12 (96)

Coaches can pick Matt Roberts (DEF, $780,000) with confidence. After a slow start, he lifted with a 39-point second quarter and finished with 104 to be the Swans' top scorer. He exceeded his breakeven of 74 and the dollars will be heading north following round one. Will Day (MID, $760,000) was enormous in the first half, going into the main break with 96 points. He spent some time with the trainers in the third term before returning for the last quarter and got plenty of attention from James Jordon. Day finished with 129 which makes him a must-have even if he has put a target on his back for prospective taggers.

Hawthorn big man Lloyd Meek (RUC, $907,000) will be a nice ruck selection later in drafts. His current average draft position (ADP) is 77, making him the 12th ruck off the board. He'll return better value than that.

You can all but put a line through Angus Sheldrick (MID, $448,000). The perceived opportunity with Errol Gulden (and Callum Mills) out of the midfield prompted him to be playing for a spot in Classic sides. His 32 before being subbed out with five minutes to go in the third quarter means he didn't reach his breakeven of 44. Although the 46 points Corey Warner (FWD, $257,000) scored was more than his breakeven, you won't be knocking down the door to get him in with other forward rookie-priced options.

James Sicily (DEF, $896,000) was looking every part the value play in the first half with 56 points. When surprising starting substitute Sam Frost was launched into the game, Sicily – getting attention from Will Hayward – went forward and booted a timely goal. The forward time as the swingman is real and we may see some sporadic scoring. Hawthorn's skipper finished with 81 points and is a pass for initial Fantasy Classic teams due to volatility in scoring thanks to his unpredictable role. – Warnie from The Traders

Greater Western Sydney 15.14 (104) defeated Collingwood 6.16 (52)

New Pie Harry Perryman (DEF, $759,000) put together a solid performance, scoring 90 after a 61-point first half. He had 27 disposals. Jordan De Goey (MID, $819,000) could be back next week for Collingwood, but Perryman had already locked himself into a lot of teams and showed why while playing predominantly through the midfield.

Teammate Josh Daicos (MID, $973,000) continued to enjoy his half-back role to score 88, while his brother Nick Daicos (MID, $1,070,000) posted just 60 after cramping throughout the second half, and having received plenty of attention as expected from Giant Toby Bedford (MID/FWD, $591,000).

Pies ruck Darcy Cameron (RUC, $987,000) made the most of an early injury to Kieren Briggs (RUC, $938,000) to score 136 thanks to 22 disposals, seven marks and 37 hitouts to lead all scorers.

The rookie crisis in defence showed no signs of easing. James Leake (DEF, $230,000) made his debut but scored 42, including a goal in the final quarter, on the back of just 54 per cent time on ground. His teammate Conor Stone (FWD, $230,000) looked better in his role in defence, scoring 50 on the back of 11 disposals and four marks. Pie Reef McInnes (FWD, $324,000) managed 49 as he continued his new role in defence.

The Giants controlled the game for long periods as Lachie Ash (DEF, $794,000) scored 125 and Lachie Whitfield (DEF, $1,150,000) posted 99. Finn Callaghan (MID, $789,000) starred with 33 disposals and two goals to score 110.
