HEADING into the final round of the season with a 57-point lead and with second place coming, Darren Carr was able to make the right moves to win himself a Toyota HiLux valued at up to $70,000.
Making Zach Merrett (146) his vice captain on Friday night was a defining move as Jonathon, coach of second-placed Fleabaggers, ended up with Jordan Dawson (105) in what proved to be an exciting finish on Saturday night. Jonathon had already made up some ground with Sam Flanders (146) as his genius trade in but his captain didn't reach the heights of Darren's choice.
Calvin, Roy and Warnie chat through the round that was and look back at the year with the Fantasy MVP awarded to Marcus Bontempelli.
There's plenty of reflection and fun for one last time this season on The Traders' traditional Mad Monday episode of the Official AFL Fantasy Podcast.
