Pig Of The Week
Dane Swan Medal
favourable match-up this week against the Dogs at UTAS Stadium where he scored 151 against them last year. Talking about accumulative defenders, hopefully you followed our advice last week and grabbed Nic Newman (DEF, $838,000), who took advantage of a soft match-up for defenders against the Saints. He took 13 marks to go with 35 possessions to score 139, his fourth hundred in five weeks, with a low of 93 in that time. Marcus Bontempelli (MID, $1.04M) bounced back from his first sub-100 score in 12 weeks by dominating the Tigers with 32 possessions, six marks, nine tackles and three goals for 151. Luke Jackson (FWD/RUC, $734,000) enjoyed the ruck responsibilities and his numbers reflected that with a season-high 44 hit-outs and 149 leading into two soft match-ups, while Giant Tom Green (MID, $871,000) returned from injury to score an impressive 141.

ROUND 21 2289 pts
Unfortunately, my side took a tumble last week, getting knocked out in the first week of our Bacon Cup Classic finals. I’m facing elimination in my Draft final, but free agent Matt Crouch might help get me over the line against red-hot team, Brett’s “Manzacs”.

5 James Borlase
ADEL, DEF – 90 u What a fantastic debut which we didn’t see coming. Borlase was averaging 65 points this year in the SANFL and had a great day down back with nine marks and four tackles.
4 Ollie Hollands CARL, MID – 87 u B ack into the Blues’ line-up, Hollands filled the stat line in Carlton’s important win against the Saints last Sunday afternoon, racking up 20 disposals, four marks and laying six tackles.
3 Will Phillips NM, MID/FWD – 83 u Not too many coaches have Phillips in their Fantasy Classic teams, but consider the Roo for your Keeper League going into next season. Seven tackles helped boost his score.
2 Kade Chandler MELB, FWD – 81 u It has been a great season for the small forward. He booted three goals in the Demons’ win against the Roos in Hobart. It was the fifth time he’s booted three goals this year.
1 Dylan Williams PA, DEF/FWD – 79 u If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, it’s Williams loves a mark. He took nine at GMHBA Stadium to take his average to 4.8 for the year. He has also gained $252K in value.
ROUND 21 2347 pts
It was a week of torment at destROY. I traded out Callum who returned to form, scoring 117. To rub salt into the wound, I originally Nic Newman (139) sitting there as his replacement, but updated the trade to bring in Josh Dunkley (81).

I had one out of the box last week! Marcus Bontempelli as my captain, scoring 151, and James Sicily leading the backline with 160.
I am looking forward to heading to UTAS Stadium in round 22 to watch my two Fantasy stars dominate live.
