COVID-19 has impacted another round of the AFLW with the Footscray v Gold Coast game postponed and their last 21s given their average.
Meanwhile Brisbane were given a Tuesday night fixture for extra time to put together a team.
It was a low scoring round with just one ton compared to six each in Rounds 2 and 3.
But a certain fantasy gun would’ve turbo-charged your score, especially if you were in the 49% of coaches who gave her the captaincy…
Fantasy pig of the week
Swan, Rockliff, Mitchell and Grundy might have company in the sty soon. โ๏ธ Kiara Bowers (MID, $90,500) was everywhere on Saturday amassing 24 kicks, 4 handballs, 2 marks and 16 tackles for 152. That’s 64 points in tackles alone!
Bowers bounced back from 89 in Round 2 to reclaim her position as highest averaging player with 121 points per game. Take the captaincy from her at your peril.
The rest of the top 10 were:
2. ๐ฆ Ebony Marinoff (MID, $74,500) – 98
3. ๐ Tilly Lucas-Rodd (MID, $50,400) – 96
4. ๐ฑ Amy McDonald (MID, $69,100) – 96
5. ๐ฆ Ashleigh Riddell (MID, $76,900) – 90
6. ๐ Brittany Bonnici (MID, $82,000) – 89
7. ๐ Jaimee Lambert (MID, $68,000) – 89
8. ๐ฆ Stevie-Lee Thompson (FWD, $39,900) – 86
9. ๐ฆ Erin Phillips (MID, $68,400) – 85
10. ๐ฆ Emily Bates ($52,700) – 84
Cash cows of the round
Players who started the year at $20,300 or less are eligible for the AFLW Fantasy Cash Cow of the Year medal and the top five scorers will be awarded votes each round.
๐ Leah Cutting (RUCK, $20,600) hasn’t polled any votes so far this season but claimed the full five with St Kilda’s second highest score of the round – 78. She’s rocketed up to equal second in the cash cow medal and is averaging an impressive 58 points so far.
The remaining votes go to:
4. ๐ต Courtney Jones (MID, $20,000) – 62
3. ๐ฑ Olivia Fuller (RUCK, $18,200) – 59
2. ๐ฆ Zimmorlei Farquharson (FWD, $14,300) – 58
1. ๐ Eliza West (MID, $19,400) – 55
Leaderboard:ย โ๏ธ Charlie Rowbottom (6), ๐ฑ Georgie Prespakis (5), ๐ Leah Cutting (5), ๐ต Courtney Jones (4), ๐ฆ Jasmine Ferguson (4), โ๏ธ Tara Bohanna (4).
Side note
13% of the competition traded in ๐ฆ Anne Hatchard (MID, $76,600) after she scored 120 and 130. 13% also captained the highest averaging player only to get 74 – and yes, that’s after doubling 37!
Hatchard finished up in the third quarter due to a minor plantar fasciitis flare up. Adelaide next play on Saturday so we won’t know if she’s named before full lockout at the start of Round 4 on Thursday night.
