Pig Of The Week

Dane Swan Medal Cash Cow Of The Week

the added responsibilities in the Suns’ midfield given the absence of Touk Miller and his pressure reinforced that after laying an impressive 17 tackles on his way to 142. Star Tigers recruit Tim Taranto (FWD/MID, $1.01m) continued his ton run in impressive fashion, overcoming a slow start in a tough match-up with the Cats to eventually collect 29 possessions and lay 12 tackles for 129, confirming his status as one of the best selections of the year. Big Magpie Mason Cox (RUC/FWD, $553,000) showed some unlikely piggery with a thumping score of 129, finishing ahead of Roos veteran Todd Goldstein (RUC, $669,000), who turned back the clock and took full advantage of a favourable match up with 56 hit-outs and 128 points.

u Young Swans star Errol Gulden (FWD/MID, $907,000) backed up his impressive 161 last week with a round-high of 153 in an awesome display of pure piggery. He collected 35 possessions, took six marks, laid five tackles and kicked two goals in a head-turning performance that leaves him the form player of the competition with a three-game

My squad is moving in the right direction as I plan for the bye rounds. Getting a spread of players across each of the rounds has been a goal. I am keen on picking Mitch Duncan this week to help with structure due to the Cats’ round 13 bye.

5 Will Ashcroft BL, MID – 109 u Up $374K and averaging 82 for the season, Ashcroft finds another gear at the Gabba. His 109 against the Bombers last round took his venue average to 98.

4 Reuben Ginbey WCE, DEF/MID – 96 u It’s not often someone with four kicks scores 90-plus points, but Ginbey did it thanks to a big tackle count. He racked up 16 in round nine to take his season average to 7.8.

3 Seamus Mitchell HAW, DEF/FWD – 95 u T he dual-position status Mitchell carries made him a popular trade target a few weeks ago. He posted his best score last week after collecting 27 disposals and eight marks.

2 Bailey Humphrey GCS, MID/FWD – 94 u Subbed out in round seven for zero Fantasy points, which made some coaches think his cash generation had stalled. His breakeven is now just three and his price is heading north.

1 Harry Sheezel NM, DEF/FWD – 81 u S till leading the Michael Barlow Medal, a quiet game by Sheezel’s standards still netted him a vote in round nine. Despite the Kangaroos’ big loss, he managed to gather 22 disposals.

LEADERBOARD: 36 – Harry Sheezel; 20 – Will Ashcroft; 11 – Reuben Ginbey; 9 – Alex Cincotta, Ollie Hollands; 7 – Kade Chandler; 5 – Cameron Mackenzie, Charlie Comben, Fergus Greene.

ROUND 9 2299 pts

I continued my theme of removing rookies from the ground and bringing in the best available player. Last week it was Matt Kennedy, who was nice and cheap on the back of starting as the sub for two weeks in a row. He scored an impressive 95.

Part of my trading strategy is bringing in under-priced players who have a good run coming up. The Roos, Saints, Hawks and Eagles are giving up the most Fantasy points this year. Consider targeting players coming up against these clubs for instant reward.
