• Nine things we learned from round 15
• How did your club's players fare in this week's state leagues?
• Hawks by TKO: We score Sunday's heavyweight bout in Tassie
AS WE creep closer to the finals, it became increasingly obvious this week who the Fantasy pretenders are, as opposed to the 'must haves' that will give us the best chance to achieve ultimate glory among our mates.
Fantasy Pig
This round will be remembered as 'the return of the Pig' as we witnessed Tom Rockliff come back after an injury interrupted season and dominate against the Swans with 27 touches and an impressive 11 tackles for a team high 128. In my opinion, he was a 'must have' this week as he had a break-even in the 70s, but if you missed the boat, it is in your best interest to bring him in this week.

Equalling the second lowest score of his career, Nat Fyfe had a game to forget against the Hawks in Tassie with 20 possessions and just 59 points. Coming into this game he was arguably the most reliable Fantasy scorer in the competition, but after giving away an ordinary six free kicks many coaches will be left regretting a loss due to an underperforming captain.

Junior Swine
The bargain basement Riley Knight had an outstanding debut for the Crows with 13 possessions, five marks and two goals for an impressive score of 73 in the toughest circumstances imaginable. If you are after a downgrade option this week, Knight should be high on the radar.

Great work mate! Some big scorers there!
Sliding down the #AFLFantasy rankings with 2050, +3 to VC Swan making us Port fans panic, -3 to Fyfe and those umps #seriously

I saw those Fyfe frees against first hand… ridiculous! Umpires obviously didn’t have him in their team. At least the Pig was awesome!
2207 this week. Fyfe, Neale & Martin let me down big style. Slipped back a couple of spots to 116 overall, but still holding on! #AFLFantasy

You are still dominating, keep up the good work!
2208 in #aflfantasy +3 goes to Hodge and The Bont - 3 goes to Motlop and Fyfe. Rocky needs to come in now

How good was the Bont! He had three points at quarter time and then BOOM!
