Sydney Swans v Hawthorn, Saturday September 27, 2.30pm at the MCG

When picking my AFL Fantasy Match Day side for this weekend's Grand Final, the big game performers instantly come to mind. Mitchell, Hodge, Franklin, Roughead. Those four were first selected in my team. The Batman and Robin duo of Franklin and Roughead loom as the two most likely to inflict damage on the scoreboard. Both players are in superb form and it's hard to see either side locking down on the big forwards. Hodge and Mitchell were easy selections, while David Hale was chosen in the ruck over Mike Pyke. If Ben McEvoy plays – which I think he should – I would consider him as the ruckman. Kennedy is a contested ball king and should win a ton of possessions, while the most unlucky non-All Australian selection of this season, a.k.a. Luke Parker, could well win the Norm Smith Medal on the back. Like the All Australian selectors, leave him out of your side at your own peril.
