• Nine things we learned from round 22
• How did your club's players fare in this week's state leagues?
IT WAS once again the Fantasy Pigs, Tom Rockliff and Dane Swan, grabbing the headlines in this week's all-important preliminary finals. Rocky was there for the right reasons after leading all scorers with a whopping 159 against the Hawks in Tassie. Unfortunately, Swanny will be unavailable for the big dance next week after suffering a medial strain that caused him to leave the ground in the second quarter after typically dominating to that point in the game.
Fantasy Pig
Tom Mitchell has to be a strong chance to be the next player given the honour of official Pig status. He continued his outstanding season with a dominant performance against the Saints with 34 touches, nine marks and two goals for a thumping score of 142. He has almost elevated his status to 'must have' this week, with the Swans meeting the Suns in what should be a scoring frenzy.
Fantasy Prestigiacomo
Unfortunately Joel Selwood must have missed the memo that it was a preliminary final because he certainly didn't bring his A-game. His 59 points from 19 touches set the Fantasy Twitter world alight with some coaches placing him straight on the 'never again' list after single-handedly costing them a berth in the GF.

Junior Swine
Isaac Heeney showed why he is so highly touted with an outstanding game against the Saints. He kicked four goals from his 20 possessions and took eight impressive marks on his way to 116. He is set to be a regular in our Fantasy teams for years to come.
