It was a good week on-field for North, who all but sealed its spot in the top eight against St Kilda on Saturday night.
From a fantasy standpoint, there were a number of players that bounced back, and the chief among those was Nick Dal Santo.
Dal Santo, in his return from illness, has now produced back to back quality performances and considering his price has taken a bit of a hit, might be worth considering for the final few weeks.
Here’s a review of Footy Prophet’s Fantasy top five from Round 19.
1. Brent Harvey ($419,000, MID/FWD)
For a record 427th time, Brent Harvey took to the field and, as expected, produced another quality fantasy score. The new game’s record holder has been a fantasy stalwart since before the competition even existed and he’s now produced three consecutive scores in the 90’s. He’s hitting good form in the lead in to finals and should definitely be considered for your side.
2. Trent Dumont ($364,000, MID)
Dumont has been used in a tagging capacity of late, but it hasn’t impacted his scoring as he’s averaged 80 points in his last three games. If anything, it gives him some job security in the side as he has a role that needs to be done each week. In saying that, his price is in an awkward range that makes it very hard to pick him. He’s one to watch out for going into 2017.
3. Daniel Wells ($452,000, MID/FWD)
After a blistering game last week, Wells had a quieter game on the weekend and didn’t reach the heights expected of him at this stage of the year. Wells scored 77 points, including only 24 to half time. By comparison, he had 36 to quarter time last week. He’ll need to bounce back next week, but trading Wells to Harvey might be an option worth considering.
4. Ryan Clarke ($235,000, MID)
The young midfielder only amassed 27 points for the game. Clarke scored an even seven points in each of the first three quarters and never really looked like getting too involved in the contest. As a result, his price has only gone up by $10,000 too. Hopefully he can get back on track next week.
5. Jarrad Waite ($349,000, FWD)
Unfortunately for Waite, another poor score was compounded by an injury that will see him out for the remainder of the home and away season. This means you simply have to trade him if he’s in your team and his 2016 fantasy season is done. It’s worth reflecting on how good he was at the start of the year and hopefully 2017 sees him getting back to those numbers.
