LAST WEEK’S NEWS
Kurt Tippett (FWD/RUC, $454,000) led the way again this week with 135 and has been in sensational form averaging 94 in his last five games this year. Josh Kennedy (MID, $576,000) led the possessions with 35 touches for his 127pts.
Dan Hannebery (MID, $581,000) was heavily tagged by Thomas Bugg and only managed 83pts but Jarrad McVeigh (DEF/MID, $506,000) and Kieren Jack (MID, $496,000) did enough to carry the load, both scoring 100+.
Youngster Harry Cunningham (FWD/MID, $386,000) scored his second 100 score for the season and now has three next to his name over his career. He slotted 3 goals and found the ball 18 times.
ON THE RADAR
It’s preliminary finals this week and for some people who are still alive (not me) it’s a must win game. So, who are some unique players you’ll get instant reward from this week?
Unique Defender: Sam Gilbert ($410,000) has scored 97 and 96 in his last two games and has certainly turned the clock back to his 2010 form that saw him average 93.
Unique Midfielder: Brandon Ellis ($531,000) is coming off 140 from round 21 and loves playing the Bombers. He had 108, 123, 104 and 143 against them in his last four games and will be huge again.
Unique Ruck: Kurt Tippett has been in dominating form averaging 99 in his last three games. He kicked 5 goals on the weekend and should kick another bag against the Saints this week.
Unique Forward: Aaron Hall ($465,000) has been on fire scoring 121, 114 and 112 in his last three games. A huge smokie pick who might just win you the premiership cup in two weeks time.

This week the Swans play the Saints under the roof at Etihad Stadium. Four Geelong players scored over 110 against the Saints last week and we’ll have our fingers crossed that our Swans can go even bigger on Sunday afternoon.
