Round 16 was a high scoring round. The weekly winner, Rick with his team The Gunners, notched up 2589 which included the late withdrawal of star defender Kade Simpson. Rick is now ranked 19th overall. Warnie was the top scorer of The Traders and he is extremely happy with efforts that has pushed him inside the top 500. There's seven weeks to go and the race is on for the car... and a cap! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

While everyone's talking about LeBron to LA, we're thinking about Heeney's concussion, Fyfe's hammy and whether we choose, Narkle or Sier or both?! We do some fixture analysis of the last eight rounds here on this week's episode of the Official AFL Fantasy Podcast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally, the bye rounds are over and Fantasy coaches around the country are looking forward to 'normal' rounds of footy for the next nine weeks... with a sprinkling of Thursday night games. Following the three multi-bye rounds, coaches approached the challenging weeks with two things in mind; fielding 18 players each week and making their teams better without sideways trading. The Traders had that goal and, as a whole, they've achieved their aim with their nine trades. This year, Warnie is enjoy...

We could see a record for the most traded in player this week. Tom Rockliff (MID/FWD, $545,000) is the man on everyone's mind as trades for round 11 are locked in. Things haven't exactly gone right for the Fantasy Pig since joining Port Adelaide in the off-season. Shoulder surgery meant for an interrupted pre-season and a knee injury kept him out of both JLT Community Series games. Rockliff suited up in round one, playing predominantly forward, for a score of 52. Even his greatest supporters jum...

Some would argue that there have been plenty already, AFL Fantasy coaches will be facing their first big challenge of the season; the byes. After their sojourn in China last round, Gold Coast and Port Adelaide will enjoy their week off a little earlier than the rest of the competition. Normal rules apply for Fantasy Classic. That is, scores from the 22 on-field players will count this round and the regular two trades to use to manage squads. Appearing in more than 31 per cent of teams, Robbie Gr...

Regrets. It is at this stage of the season that they start sinking in. AFL Fantasy coaches rue almost every decision they make. There are some that will spit the dummy five minutes into their first game after trading someone in because they haven't already had 10 disposals and kicked a goal. Now that we are more than a third of the way through the season, we can take a step back and can see what has worked and what hasn't. Warnie had a decision to make at the start of the season. Jack Billings o...

A lot of experienced AFL Fantasy coaches will tell you to back your premiums. "They'll come good" they say. They suggest to build your team around the out of form players and it will be better in the long run. Up until this week, Dayne Zorko (MID, $576,000) owners could be forgiven for not heeding this advice. The man who averaged 114 last season was having a stinking start to the year averaging 66.5 and with his scoring gradually getting worse with a run of 72, 63, 55 and 43 up until round six....

Although there were a few premiums that let AFL Fantasy Classic coaches down on the weekend - Roy is filthy with Patrick Dangerfield, Calvin isn't happy with Kade Simpson and Warnie is ready to rage trade Luke Parker - it is the bargain basement players who dictated a lot of the scores over the weekend. Many coaches moved heaven and earth to get Tim English (RUC/FWD, $427,000) onto their field last week by 'throwing' away a bench ruck spot. His dual position status meant he could slot into the F...

Tom Mitchell. He's the most popular player in AFL Fantasy Classic and, quite unbelievably, he went up $45,000 from an already ridiculously high starting price. Scores of 156, 137 and 148 meant that he was the set-and-forget captain option for the year. That was until Sunday afternoon. Melbourne sent Nathan Jones to the most recent Fantasy Pig to be snouted and unfortunately, he was held to 83 points at his sty, the MCG. The tag was an issue for Mitchell as he wasn't able to score as freely as he...

Brisbane Lions ruckman Stefan Martin is the toast of AFL Fantasy coaches this week. The big man is behind Max Gawn, Nic Naitanui and Brodie Grundy on the ownership table however, the 16 per cent of coaches who backed him in are stoked with his output against a ruck-less Port Adelaide. Martin finished with 49 hitouts (Justin Westhoff won 15 as the Power's ruck) and added 30 disposals, seven marks and seven tackles to his stat line to post a career-high 177 Fantasy points on Saturday afternoon at ...
