Pig Of The Week
Dane Swan Medal Cash Cow Of The Week
5 Angus Sheldrick
SYD, MID/FWD – 111 u Talk about a bye-round saviour! Sheldrick had scored 18 and eight in his two substitute-affected games this year. His three bye scores were 79, 82 and 111 to make him an important pick.
4 Matthew Johnson
FREM, MID – 99 u Players get four points for a tackle and Johnson has shown that wrapping opponents up is a big part of his game. There’s plenty of cash generation ahead for the hard-at-it Docker.
3 Seamus Mitchell
HAW, DEF/FWD – 91
Michael Barlow Medal
u Heading into last week’s Fantasy footy action, coaches had been treated to 18 scores of 150-plus so far this season, with Adelaide skipper Jordan Dawson (DEF/ MID, $1.01M) the latest superstar to reach those lofty heights. In his 100th game, Dawson did everything in his power to get the Crows over the line against Collingwood, finishing the match with 172 points and a complete box score – 35 possessions, nine marks and 12 tackles. Dawson wasn’t the only player scoring in healthy bunches, with Fremantle’s Luke Ryan (DEF, $802,000) and St Kilda’s Jack Sinclair (DEF, $872,000) getting in on the action too. Ryan had his 143 points fuelled by 31 possessions and a whopping 18 marks and Sinclair wasn’t too far
Warnie
WARNE DAWGS behind, benefiting from more midfield time to record 36 disposals for his score of 130. Points flowed for Sydney players last week as well, with four Swans managing to hit 125-plus. Errol Gulden (MID/FWD, $946,000) was the star of the show, leading the charge with a score of 145 thanks to 32 possessions, seven marks and five tackles.

ROUND 15 2022 pts
The byes are over! I didn’t make the move I was hoping, but my team has improved over the bye rounds. Now to use the rest of the season to get the all-important league wins ahead of the Fantasy finals starting in five weeks’ time.
Roy DESTROY u N ow up $372K, Mitchell has been a great pick for the 12 per cent of coaches who still have him. 24 disposals and six marks helped him to his second 90-plus score for the season.
2 Will Ashcroft BL, MID – 80 u A shcroft’s price peaked pre-byes, but he’s still posting scores that any rookie-priced player would be proud of racking up. If you haven’t moved him on yet, now is the time to upgrade.
1 Darcy Wilmot BL, DEF/MID – 75 u Although Wilmot has played every game and made an impressive $285K, this is his first vote for the Cash Cow of the Year. He enjoyed the ‘easy’ Saints match-up, taking nine marks.
LEADERBOARD: 52 – Harry Sheezel; 29 – Will Ashcroft; 11 – Reuben Ginbey, Angus Sheldrick; 10 – Kade Chandler, Will Phillips; 9 – Alex Cincotta, Ollie Hollands, Dylan Williams, Seamus Mitchell, Matthew Johnson; 8 – Bailey Humphrey; 7 – Cam Mackenzie, Josh Weddle.
ROUND 15 1916 pts
It was a bleak round at team destROY with a lot of my premiums sitting on the bench in round 15. I always knew this week was going to test me, but still, 1916 isn’t going to cut it. Thank goodness the byes are done!

ROUND 15 2143 pts
I am a bye round specialist, well at least I am telling myself that! Pre-byes, I was ranked outside the top 17,000 coaches, but some elite trading has brought my rank in by about 6000 spots to be knocking on the door of a five-figure position.
