Pig Of The Week

Dane Swan Medal Cash Cow Of The Week

5 Harry Sheezel NM, DEF/FWD – 126 u Racking up 30 disposals and 11 marks, the Sheez was back to his best in round six. He added $19k to his price, which is already at $474k thanks to his 106 average.

4 Will Ashcroft BL, MID – 115 u The footy public loved his Goal of the Year contender, but Fantasy coaches enjoyed his 28 disposals, seven marks and two goals – his best score of the year.

3 Kade Chandler MELB, FWD – 106 u Over his career, Nic Newman (DEF, $826,000) has pumped out some huge scores – and he reminded us what he can do against the Eagles on the weekend. He took full advantage of the favourable match up, taking a season high 14 marks to go with 34 possessions to top all scorers for the round with a whopping 164, leaving his one per cent of owners very happy with their POD. On the flipside from an ownership perspective, Saints big man Rowan Marshall (RUC, $939,000) is owned by almost half of the competition, many of whom gave him VC responsibilities on Friday night given his favourable match up with the Power ruck department. He let none of them down with a huge performance which consisted of 26 possessions,

six marks, ten tackles and 38 hit outs for 159. Charlie Curnow (FWD, $767,000) snagged nine goals on his way to an impressive 151 while Christian Petracca (MID, $938,000) continued his good form with 142, including three goals for his fourth triple-figure game on the trot. Finally, Adam Cerra (MID, $812,000) scored his second 130+ game in a row with an impressive eight marks and eight tackles on the back of his hilarious AFL Fantasy video release. What a legend, make sure you have a look at it.

Top Round 7 Scorers

u A few coaches traded Chandler out a fortnight ago, but his three goals and Fantasy ton has restarted his cash generation. He has a breakeven of just 31.

2 Alex Cincotta CARL, DEF/MID – 77 u There were worries that the returning Adam Saad and Sam Docherty would affect Cincotta’s output, but he had 17 disposals in the Blues’ 108-point win.

1 Luke Pedlar ADEL, FWD – 75 u Two goals for Pedlar made him a worthy on-field option in the forward-line last round. Pleasingly, he hits up as a half-forward who can take a mark, adding six to his stat sheet.

WARNE DAWGS ROUND 7 2282 pts

When I open up the stats centre and see the most traded out players are members of my squad, I need to go to work making meaningful moves each week. I need to stick with the plan of trading out my fattened cash cows for underpriced premiums.

The successful return of Green Day made holding the pair through suspension worthwhile. I am, of course, talking about Tom Green and Will , who instantly rewarded their faithful coaches with impressive scores of 136 and 100 respectively.

Things fell into place last week as my prediction for Rowan Marshall big as my vice captain was correct. The big Saint scored 159 for my best captain’s score of the year. I’ve got Sam Walsh and Taranto as a couple of my best options early on in round eight.
