LAST WEEK’S NEWS
The Swans are back on track, and so are their Fantasy scores.
Dan Hannebery (MID, $599,000) had his best score for the season of 153pts, and topped scored for the round. Hannebery has now averaged 130 at the SCG this year compared to 101 in his other games. He found the ball 40 times against the Crows and pulled down an impressive 10 marks. Also knocking up a season best score was the luckless Tom Mitchell (FWD/MID, $473,000). Mitchell had 132pts and showed what he is capable of when given the opportunities.
Kurt Tippett (RUC/FWD, $401,000) enjoyed the number one ruck duties with 120pts. He had 25 hit outs and 19 disposals in one of his best games for the year.
Midfielder’s Kieren Jack (MID, $503,000) and Josh Kennedy (MID, $586,000) all scored over 100, along with Luke Parker (MID, $529,000) who slotted 2.3 goals.
ON THE RADAR
With Mike Pyke on the sidelines, Kurt Tippett looks set to hold down the main role. Up until this point he has averaged 73 points a game and has been in smashing form averaging 93 over his last three games. His score of 120 on the weekend might be a sign of things to come with this new role, meaning he’s a bargain if he can maintain this form.

WHAT’S COMING UP
This week the Swans play Geelong at the Cattery.
Tom Mitchell scored 121 against the Cats in round seven and looks set to dominate again. Joel Selwood will need to be contained after his 146pts last week. Add to that the fact he has scored 5x100+ scores against the Swans in his last six games.
All the best for round 19.
