A team consisting of Luke Hodge, Grant Birchall, Patrick Dangerfield, Jordan Lewis, Mark Blicavs, Isaac Smith and Jack Gunston took home the $1000 on offer in AFL Fantasy Match Day last weekend.
Once again the cash prize can be yours if you select the best seven players from one of the two semi-final games.
HAWTHORN v WESTERN BULLDOGS
Second Semi Final
MCG
LOCKOUT: 7:50pm AEST, Friday September 16, 2016
Hawks and Bulldogs made up some of the highest scorers in round one of finals. Hawthorn’s Jordan Lewis was the most impressive, racking up 153 points thanks to his 36 disposals. Western Bulldog Luke Dahlhaus finished with 29 disposals and nine tackles for 132 points.
Both sides play a brand of football that allows for high Fantasy scoring, this match could be where the $1000 is won.
Ben McEvoy wins the toss of the coin as the ruck to score the most points over Jordan Roughead.
It will be hard to go against Lewis as skipper, but consider Sam Mitchell who had 117 last time against his fourth favourite side to play.
Last time they met: round 3, Etihad Stadium

SYDNEY SWANS v ADELAIDE
First Semi Final
SCG
LOCKOUT: 7:25pm AEST, Saturday September 17, 2016
Which of the four All Australian midfielders playing in the first semi-final will you pick? Dan Hannebery was the best of the crew with 110 points last week and top scored when the two sides met in round four.
Brodie Smith (106) enjoyed a 29 disposal game in the Crows’ elimination final and will be a popular defensive option alongside Swan Jarrad McVeigh.
Up forward, don’t look past Jarryd Lyons (111) who top scored on Saturday night at Adelaide Oval. His tackling game is impressive, including nine last week, and topped the Fantasy numbers for all Crow forwards in the second half of the season.
