THAT was more like it! The big dogs came out to play this week and there are plenty of coaches out there boasting huge scores as a result. It almost feels like the season has finally started after weeks of suffering. Onward and upward. 

Fantasy Pig

Tom Mitchell bounced back from tagging duties to remind us why he is blessed with more Pig tendencies than anyone else in the competition as he strives to be the third player in history bestowed the honour. He was outstanding against the Roos with 31 touches, eight marks, 10 tackles (almost a triple double) and a goal for a round-high 163. A message to John Longmire: Less tag, more oink for 'Titch' please.

Fantasy Prestigiacomo

While Mitchell was rolling in the mud, Luke Parker was nowhere to be found. We all know the guy is an absolute star, but try telling that to his owners who are still reeling from his 59 points from 22 touches with just one mark and one tackle. Parker started the year setting the standard for his fellow midfield premiums, but needs to fast recapture that form to avoid the chop.

Piglet

Connor Blakely was quite frustrating over the first few weeks as it took a while to find his feet, but back to back games he has he has rewarded his owners faith with impressive totals. Against the Saints, he worked hard all game to record 25 possessions, three marks and two tackles for 86.

Fantasy Mailbag

Yeah mate, we are going to have a look at it. I think Smith is a massive chance!

Adams didn't look good, so trade. Maybe a fallen premium like Jordan Lewis and make some cash off it.

I wonder if he is carrying a niggle? If you trade out a gun like Parker, you know what is coming the next week. I would at least hold until his bye, and use him as a whipping boy that week if needed.

Certainly quietened his critics, while rewarding those who held him. Cheers, good luck this week
