COW OF THE WEEK MICHAEL

Barlow Medal

u O utscoring some so-called premiums, Wardlaw demonstrated why he was the No. 4 pick in last year’s draft. The Roo was busy in the middle with 22 disposals, nine tackles and a goal.

4 Matthew Johnson FREM, MID – 93 u T he wet conditions suited Johnson’s tackling game, adding six to his 25 disposals. Last week’s secondmost traded in player is set to be an important bye round midfielder. u There is nothing like a lazy bag of 10 goals to get the snout out, and that’s exactly what Crows forward Taylor Walker (FWD, $618,000) did in a soft match-up with the Eagles. After reaching triple figures on just one occasion this year, ‘Tex’ had an absolute day out, collecting 21 possessions and taking 11 marks to go with his bag of goals to score for a whopping 166. His one per cent of coaches haven’t had a lot to cheer about this season but this one certainly left them feeling like a pig in mud. It has been on the cards for several weeks now Josh Dunkley (FWD/MID, $990,000) is back to his stat-stuffing best. In what was a tough day for the Lions against the Hawks, ‘Dunks’ can hold his head high after a brilliant performance that consisted of 28 possessions, seven marks, 11 tackles and a goal for 145 points.

WARNE DAWGS

Hawks skipper James Sicily (DEF, $934,000) continued his red-hot form with his fourth triple-figure score in a row, taking a trademark 12 marks to go with 32 possessions before eventually finishing on 130. Bulldog Jack Macrae (FWD/MID, $883,000) has become a huge trade target since receiving forward status and returning to form after an uncharacteristic slow start to the season. His 129 last weekend was his fourth ton on the trot, three of which have been over 115.

ROUND 13 1877 pts

Another disappointing week for my squad. Even though I had 22 playing, my best 18 lacked the big scores other coaches ended up with and I slipped down the rankings. With some selection issues this week, I may only just scrape to 18 on field. Scary.

3 Harry Sheezel NM, DEF/FWD – 92 u T he Michael Barlow Medal leader is adding a few strings to his bow as a versatile player for the Kangaroos. He played all over the ground, taking seven marks.

2 Angus Sheldrick SYD, MID/FWD – 79 u After donning the subs vest a couple of times this year, Sheldrick made his way into the Swans’ 22 last week, collecting a career-high 19 disposals. Six tackles were a highlight of his game.

1 Will Ashcroft BL, MID – 74 u It wasn’t the result the Lions were after at the MCG, but Ashcroft rewarded those who chose to hold him through the bye. He finished with 20 disposals, four tackles and a goal.

LEADERBOARD: 47 – Harry

ROUND 13 1991 pts

I am certainly limping through the bye rounds so far! Unfortunately, due to my lack of pre-bye planning, I have been forced to trade out round 15 premiums for balance, including Jack Ziebell and Harry Sheezel, who dominated

Calvin CALVINATOR ROUND 13 1936 pts

The second last bye round involves the Crows, Magpies, Bombers, Hawks, Demons and Eagles. Make sure you are prioritising trading out fattened cash cows or mid-priced players so you have a team full of premiums at round 16.
