LAST WEEK
Coming off the bye, the Bulldogs were fresh and took the four points on Saturday night with a 72 point win over the Lions at Etihad Stadium.
Jack Macrae found the ball 35 times that saw a $17K price rise this week and a three round average of 116.3.
The fifth highest averaging forward in the competition, Luke Dahlhaus, scored his ninth Fantasy ton as he racked up 26 disposals, seven tackles and 108 points. The inform Mitch Wallis (105) and Liam Picken (104) also impressed their owners with good scored.
Marcus Bontempelli enjoyed a massive last quarter adding 46 points to take him to 93 for the match.
TOP 5 SCORERS V BRISBANE LIONS
- 120 – Jack Macrae (MID, $548,000)
- 108 – Luke Dahlhaus (FWD/MID, $532,000)
- 105 – Mitch Wallis (MID, $473,000)
- 104 – Liam Picken (DEF/MID, $543,000)

ON THE RADAR
The Bulldogs have a great draw coming up.
With three of the ‘easiest’ teams to play against in Fantasy terms (i.e. teams that give up the most points) in St Kilda, Carlton and Gold Coast over the next three weeks, we should see some big points from the boys from the kennel.
Macrae and Wallis average 116.3 and 114.3 points respectively and would be midfielders worth considering this week as they offer a lot of value. Picken and Boyd should be considered in the backline as they are both averaging 100 plus over their last three.
WHAT’S COMING UP
The Dogs take on the Saints at Etihad Stadium in round 12.
