The AFL have finally started posting their elected Players of the Round on social media, and so I will now start posting Round Reviews in the format that I had hoped. Apologies for the lack of these in the past couple of rounds! This will also be quite short as I did not have much time to watch the games over the weekend.

Basically, I will list the nominated Players of the Round and choose the player that I believe had the most outstanding performance, as well as the player that I believe will continue their good form into the coming rounds. I will create a ‘Player Card’ for them at some point and you will find these under the ‘Ratings’ page of the website.

The nominated Players of the Round are:

Tom Lynch (RICH)

Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti (ESS)

Shannon Hurn (WCE)

Lachie Whitfield (GWS)

My personal player of the round is without a doubt McDonald-Tipungwuti. With an incredible bag of seven goals in addition to ten marks and twenty disposals, Tippa played an almost perfect game.

However, I think Lachie Whitfield is the most likely to carry this form into next round. Despite the Giants’ loss to current premiership favourites Geelong, Whitfield was again a shining positive. He is yet to score under the ton this year (his lowest score being 109 in round 10), and he has come off a 162 last week against Richmond aswell. He will be a necessary addition to your Fantasy team this season.
