AFL.com.au's Warnie, Calvin and Roy bring you the Round 8 AFL Fantasy wrap:
Last Week’s Events
The Blues were on fire against Port and played an exciting brand of footy led by youngster Patrick Cripps who had 31 possessions and laid an impressive 12 tackles for a game high 128. He was well supported by captain Marc Murphy, who kicked a goal among his 29 touches for 122. Nick Graham embraced his increased opportunities, kicking two goals on his way to 106.
On The Radar
Marc Murphy was on the radar last week, but after going back to back 120’s he looks to have regained top form and must be considered as an under-priced premium. He has a break-even of just 62 which reinforces what a value pick he is.
Top Scorers
• Patrick Cripps (MID, $416,000) 128
• Marc Murphy (MID, $521,000) 122
• Tom Bell (FWD/MID, $430,000) 107
• Nick Graham (MID, $306,0000 106
• Ed Curnow (MID, 430,000) 92
What’s Coming Up?
Last time the Blues met the Suns, Bryce Gibbs, Bell, Kade Simpson and Murphy all scored impressive 100s. This year the undermanned Suns are leaking huge points and once again all indications are the Murphy is going to be huge again this week.
