FANTASY finals are here and if you can't feel the excitement in the air, then you're probably someone who had Jake Lloyd in your side at 8pm last Friday night.
It's been a tough year for coaches with a high number of late outs, plenty of doubt around the superstars (Danger, Rocky et al) and a dearth of quality ruckmen as poor Goldy fell of the cliff, and even Matty Kreuzer who is now facing time on the sidelines after the weekend's most talked-about concussion.
In the background, the creative wizards at Fantasy HQ are already hard at work planning 2018's game and they're keen to hear your thoughts.
Is it time to ditch that fourth ruck slot and if so, where should it go? Are there tweaks to the scoring system that should be made? Are the number of dual-position players right? What would you like to see from Fantasy Draft?
Make your voice heard on all things Fantasy and help shape the game into the future.

Get 'em in
Brett Deledio (FWD, $553,000): The Giants have confirmed he'll play his first game in orange and charcoal against the Demons. Great point of difference for your first final and gun forwards are at a premium.
Jack Martin (DEF/FWD, $506,000): Jack's getting close to delivering on his Fantasy promise and should be in for a big score on the wide open expanses of Domain Stadium. He averages over 100 against the Dockers.
Kieren Jack (MID/FWD, $464,000): A nice mid-priced option for your forward line, he dominated against the Cats at Geelong last year and the Swans are every chance to bring home the bacon again.
Bye for now
Matthew Kreuzer, Carlton (RUC, $580,000): The Blues haven't ruled their big man out for this weekend but it'd be a massive risk to hang onto him without cover. Bring in Brodie Grundy if you have the trade room.
Jeremy Cameron, GWS (FWD, $487,000): The star Giant is hamstrung and will miss three weeks. A swap for Luke Dahlhaus looks a smart bet.
Nakia Cockatoo, Geelong (FWD, $269,000): He looked a late-season smoky but the talented Cat pinged his hammy again and will struggle to get back before finals. Move him on.
