IT'S HERE, the big dance. Round 23 ends the AFL Fantasy season and with that the hopes and dreams of many Fantasy coaches competing in league grand finals. For others, it's the ultimate bragging rights until we do all this again in 2019.
In the super-competitive Bacon Cup, it was Warnie who defeated Roy to book himself a spot in the grand final where he meets the mighty Manzacs. Sitting with an overall rank of 156, Warnie heads into the big day as a firm favourite and if he gets up, he is in for a long summer, reminding the boys about the season that was.

In this week's episode …
The Traders (minus the coach of the Warne Dawgs) dissect the round ahead and look at how 2017 Fantasy champion, Selby Lee-Steere, is dominating again. He amazingly regained the top spot in the game and now sits 14 points ahead of the Part Timers as they race towards the Koba and the title of 2018 AFL Fantasy Champion.
Roy breaks down his Rolling 22 for the final time and Calvin offers his take on which players will most likely fire this weekend.
The biggest issue of the week though is what do we do with Tom Mitchell?
He plays his old team at the SCG, and after being tagged to 58 by Hewett earlier this year, some coaches are avoiding him with captaincy duties and others are taking more extreme measures and trading the best player from the last two years. Roy and Calvin give their take on this huge decision.
