THURSDAY night football produced five Fantasy tons with Joel Selwood top scoring with 127 for the victorious Cats. Ruckman Callum Sinclair (116) was the best Swan followed by Jake Lloyd (112), who enjoyed a fast start with 54 points scored in the first quarter. Luke Parker (111) made his owners happy at the end with 17 points added in the last couple of minutes of the game.
Quinton Narkle (36) is the most popular player traded in this week. He was unable to match his 88 point return on debut.
ALL THE TEAMS Check 'em out
Round 16 team selection was kind to most coaches. Nat Fyfe (hamstring) is set to miss four-to-five matches. The Dockers will also be without Aaron Sandilands again. Sean Darcy comes into the side for his first game of the year. In 2017 he averaged 87 points and should be considered as free agent pick-up in Fantasy Draft.
Matthew Kreuzer returns for the Blues and Tom Lynch has been named on Adelaide’s bench.
The Saints’ backline has been decimated as Jake Carlisle (lung) and Nathan Brown (hamstring) are out of the side through injury. Bailey Rice has been omitted and fellow cash cow Josh Battle (eye) is set to miss two-to-three weeks. However, they have regained Jimmy Webster, Logan Austin, Sam Gilbert and Nathan Wright.
Keep an eye on Sunday teams as Aiden Bonar (MID/FWD, $250,000) and Brent Daniels (MID/FWD, $218,000) have made the extended squad for the Giants and may debut at Optus Stadium against the Eagles. The home side has added Oscar Allen (FWD, $230,000) to their 26.

Get them in
Brayden Sier (MID, $201,000) Is a great downgrade option despite going up 31K following an impressive debut of 82. He attended plenty of centre bounces and looked like a man-child out there, collecting 19 possessions and laying an impressive six tackles.
Andrew Gaff (MID, $748,000) is one of the form players of the competition and is rightfully the third most traded in player this week. He has a great match-up this week against the Giants, who have been giving up plenty of points to opposition mids such as Tom Mitchell last week. His form at home is also outstanding and he certainly looks to be set for a big one.
Patrick Cripps (MID, $695,000) is the eighth most traded in player this week and I love it. He is averaging a League-best 18 contested possessions and looks set to benefit from the return of Marc Murphy last week who will likely attract the attention of taggers. He has a high ceiling and the Blues have the easiest run home from a Fantasy perspective.

Nat Fyfe (MID, $685,000,) was a popular trade in last week but unfortunately pulled a hammy on just 36 which caused a 44K price drop. The hammy will keep him out for multiple weeks and is therefore a must trade which is reflected by him being the most traded out player.
Logan Austin (DEF, $391,000) is the most fourth most traded out player this week but given the injury toll at the Saints this week, I would be holding. We have seen his scoring potential with one of the Saints key defenders missing, let alone two. Wait a week and see how he looks in the +six department.
Robbie Gray (FWD/MID, $539,000) has been in horrible Fantasy form as a forward which has seen him become the seventh most traded out player this week. This week however, he plays the Saints and history says he should bounce back so trade at your own risk. Here is a breakdown of his last four against the Saints in which he has received 11 Brownlow votes:
124 - 25 touches, 4 goals, FWD
121 - 37 touches, 1 goal, MID
125 - 26 touches, 4 goals, FWD
98 - 27 touches, 1 goal, FWD
Calvin's Captains
1. Tom Mitchell - After 195 last week, this decision is easy. Mitchell scored 120 and 141 against the Bulldogs in his last two games and at Etihad he has scored 120+ in three of his last four. Lock and load and oink oink oink.
2. Max Gawn - Without Sandilands, you’d expect Gawn to go bananas here. Up against Apeness last week, Stef Martin had 46 hit-outs (110 points) and dominated. Gawn has been in hot form with scores of 135 and 110, and should be considered… even ahead of the Pig.
3. Brodie Grundy - Grundy hasn’t scored under 100 since round one and scored a massive 151 last week. He had 110 against the Bombers earlier this year and should continue this sensational run.
4. Dayne Beams - 112 and 113 are his last two scores and Beams even had a huge 147 against the Blues last year. At the Gabba, Beams is a different man scoring 4x110+ scores in his last five games.
5. Patrick Cripps - After averaging 120 in his last three games, Cripps must be considered against the Lions. His ability to score big is up there, with the best reaching the 130+ mark on four occasions.
