The 23-year-old scored a massive 155 fantasy points, more than the 151 he tallied last week and more than anyone else in the competition.
He had an incredible 47 possessions, four marks and eight tackles in the Bulldogs’ 14-point win over Brisbane.
Hawthorn’s Tom Mitchell has dropped from second to fifth overall after getting a season-low 55 points in the Hawks’ narrow loss to Sydney on Friday night after being held to just 20 disposals.
Carlton’s Ed Curnow has moved into outright second in the AFL Fantasy standings after scoring 142 fantasy points while being instrumental in Carlton’s first win of the season, while Melbourne’s star ruckman Max Gawn is just one point behind him in third after having 111 points in Melbourne’s win over Gold Coast.
Tom Rockliff was Port Adelaide’s best for the first time since arriving at Alberton with 127 points, but Justin Westhoff has overtaken Jared Polec as the club’s highest overall scorer.
Westhoff is now 17th overall, Polec 21, Ebert 29, R Gray 43 overall (remarkable given he missed the first game of the season).
Tom Rockliff (mid/fwd $526,000)
Now is the time to get on Tom Rockliff. Down on fitness and form after an interrupted pre-season, Rockliff has lost $199,000 of his starting price and is an absolute bargain if he can continue to replicate his form from Saturday night.
Renowned as an AFL Fantasy gun, Rockliff has been completely underwhelming this season until Saturday.
31 touches, four marks, and nine tackles is a decent day out by anyone’s standards and Rockliff has had
Robbie Gray (fwd - $692,000)
How often does a player boot six goals – five of them in one quarter – and still lose $1000 of value?
That’s exactly what Gray did, as well as tallying 20 touches and five marks.
His score of 104 was unfortunately below his season average of 106.7, but given his value has gone up $120,000 since the start of the season there’s no doubt those who picked the 30-year-old early will forgive him.
Gray has played one game less than most of his teammates but is ranked as Port Adelaide’s fourth-highest scorer overall, and 43rd in the whole competition. Remarkable!
Justin Westhoff (mid/fwd - $678,000)
The ever-reliable Westhoff had 115 points on Saturday night, above his season average of 104.
His 26 touches, six marks, and six tackles saw his value rise another $8,000 – that’s $93,000 for the season.
He might be in veteran status at the Power, but he continues to play a role on the ground and in people’s fantasy teams, and he’s been
One of just three Power players to average over 100 points per round, he also represents reasonable value at $6519 per point scored.
Brad Ebert (mid - $691,000)
Ebert was one of seven Power players who cracked 100 AFL Fantasy points against Adelaide.
He had 24 touches, five marks, and six tackles, and saw his overall value rise by another $8,000.
Averaging 98.1 points per round, the consistent 28-year-old got to 100 against the Crows and that means he is averaging 113.8 points in his last four games.
Ebert lost his rank as the player with the most
Darcy Byrne-Jones (def - $521,000)
Here is a guy who has added $106,000 to his overall value since the start of the season including $31,000 after his performance against Adelaide.
He’s averaging 77.8 points per round across the season after a slow start, but his last four rounds have been solid and he has averaged 94 in those games.
Against the Crows, the rugged defender scored 104 points after racking up 23 touches, seven marks
The 22-year-old is in 1015 AFL Fantasy teams but his form line is tracking in the right direction to see him picked in more.

- Tom Rockliff - 127
