AFL.com.au's Warnie, Calvin and Roy bring you the Round 3 AFL Fantasy wrap:
Last Week’s Events
Marc Murphy (MID, $512,000) lead from the front collecting 30 possessions and scoring a team high 105 and looks like he could be working his way back to his best. Patrick Cripps (MID, $205,000) returned from a back complaint the previous week to collect 22 possessions and lay a handy four tackles on his way to 81. Although he did not make an appearance until late in the third quarter, Ciaran Byrne (DEF/FWD, $121,000) looks a likely type after scoring 25 from nine possessions.
On The Radar
Patrick Cripps is owned by 50 per cent of the competition, but if you do not own him, he still provides great value despite ticking over the 200K mark. His great performance on the weekend should give coaches the confidence to play him on the ground and his break-even of -8 reflects his value and guaranteed price rise. With the suspension of Yarren, Byrne should experience an increase in opportunity, making his making his BE of 19 more than attainable.

What’s Coming Up?
Last time we met the Saints, Andrejas Everitt (DEF/MID, $439,000) had a day out taking 13 marks and scoring a game high 123. Sam Docherty (DEF, $477,000) looks set to continue his great start to the year after scoring 110 in his most previous match-up and Andrew Walker (DEF, $463,000) was the other Blue to reach triple figures scoring 109 with ten marks, so hopefully he can build on the 77 he registered in his season debut.
