WE HAVE eight rounds remaining and with no Thursday games for the remainder of the season, there is a sense of normality in the run to round 23.
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick deemed it ‘big boy month’ for the Tigers as they aim to get the wins they need to make the final 8. The same can be said for NAB AFL Fantasy coaches.

There are four weeks remaining of home and away match-ups before the Fantasy finals start in round 20.
Now is the time to take stock of your position in your league and bring in the big guns to help you win your premiership.
This week we have some premiums that are close to rock-bottom prices, and none come bigger than Gary Ablett.
The Little Master is valued at $566,000, a drop of $109,000 from his starting price. Ablett has scored 119 in each of his games back from injury and with a break-even of 112, this could be as cheap as we see the midfielder.
There are are some alternatives to Ablett for a few less dollars.
If you missed Tom Rockliff last round, his break-even is as low as 63 and $510,000 is a steal for the man who holds the world record for season average and is a bonafide Fantasy Pig.
Another less-spoken about premium, Steele Sidebottom, could be a handy unique inclusion for your squad in the run home. The Magpie was injured in round one and with scores below his usual output, his price has dropped to a season low $507,000.
Back-to-back Fantasy tons and break-even of 93 should see his value head north over the coming weeks.
