• Nine things we learned from round 20
• How did your club's players fare in this week's state leagues?
Wowee! Plenty of players got the memo it was Fantasy finals time and pumped out huge scores. In fact, a whopping 19 players scored 120 or more to ensure some coaches had a season high at the right time of the year. Unfortunately, as always, there were a few who took the term 'spud' to a new level, leaving some unfortunate coaches already booking a post-season trip (most likely to the local watering hole for a Sunday session).
Fantasy Pig
The good news is there were a lot of outstanding players to pick from this week. However, there can be only one and this week it goes to Tom Mitchell with this week’s fifth-highest score of 138. Ironically, two of the players above him are the only players honoured with receiving official Pig status in Dane Swan and Tom Rockliff. When Mitchell is free from tagging roles and a vest, he has the makings of a great Pig as we witnessed in his 41 possession, eight tackle and one goal performance.
Fantasy Prestigiacomo
Stuff a nomination, I am making an executive decision this week and naming the 2015 winner of the Presti. A big congratulations goes to Michael Barlow. On the back of his 110 average last year, he has received three Presti nominations so far in 2015 and his score of 19 this week from four touches makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Of all weeks to pull a 19, honestly! Even Presti would be offended.

Junior Swine
If you are one of the coaches still running with Kane Lambert on the ground, he certainly stepped up for you, outscoring many popular premiums and no doubt winning a few games off his own back. He had a career-best game with 27 touches and two goals for 95.
Round 20's top five scores:
Mitch Robinson - 166
Tom Rockliff - 143
Dustin Martin - 140
Dane Swan - 139
Tom Mitchell - 138

Talk about a premo burning you. Matt Priddis, brought him in last week and has been shocking since NicNat left. #AFLFantasy

He is usually so consistent! I was very disappointing, he cost me a win in Elite.
Can't believe #AFLFantasy finals are here. Wasn't long ago I was picking first squad for year! Good luck all! http://t.co/N1cvER9jhK

A timely return to Fantasy form from you as well! Cheers for costing me a win!
@KylieT23 I traded out Parker this week to Selwood got lucky #AFLFantasy

Poor old Parker is a forced trade now. Unfortunately, his price has dropped significantly.
Best #AFLfantasy score of the season - 2382 with a donut!
