Warnie from The Traders, AFL.com.au’s NAB AFL Fantasy experts, will be taking a look at the Bulldogs each week exclusive to westernbulldogs.com.au.
LAST WEEK
The most popular Dog, Marcus Bontempelli (FWD/MID, $408,000) lived up to his pre-season hype with a Fantasy ton in the first round. The dual position player finished with 104 points thanks to his 22 disposals and 10 tackles. Continuing his impressive form from last season, Luke Dahlhaus (MID, $506,000) also had 22 disposals for 113 points while Matthew Boyd (MID, $549,000) spent time running off half-back to top score for the Bulldogs with 113 from 33 dispsoals.
TOP 5 SCORERS V WEST COAST
- 113 – Matthew Boyd (MID, $549,000)
- 113 – Luke Dahlhaus (FWD, $506,000)
- 107 – Jack Macrae (MID, $592,000)

ON THE RADAR
Fantasy coaches have been keen to jump on under-priced players from the kennel. With stocks rising off the back of his rookie upgrade, Brett Goodes (DEF, $209,000) delivered a nice 70 point game that saw his price rise by $17,000 pleasing the 31% of coaches who started with him. Scoring 69, Mitch Honeychurch (FWD, $197,000) enjoyed an $18,000 increase and Tom Boyd (FWD, $201,000) posted his highest Fantasy score to add $9,000 to his starting price.
WHAT’S COMING UP
The Bulldogs take on the Tigers at the MCG on Saturday and are hoping to get the four points as they did last time they met in round three last season. Jack Macrae (MID, $592,000) was the most outstanding Fantasy player on the day with 131 points. Off the back of that performance and his 107 last week, he should score highly again.
