In the biggest round of the year so far, most sides found the going pretty easy. A massive 2900 took the thousand bucks - so let's start this week off with the coaching pleasers:
Coaching Pleasers:
5. Marc Murphy 160 - Murphy hasn't missed a beat since returned from a shoulder injury, and he had his best game of the season against Richmond on Saturday night.
4. Gary Ablett 171 - So reliable as captain, and a lynchpin if we want a high score.
3. Andrew Swallow 158 - Despite captaining his club and being North's best midfielder, Swallow continues to fly under the radar. He shouldn't. He's elite.
2. Brendon Goddard 127 - Just when we worried that BJ's fantasy days could be over, his 200th game produced something special. We need you to back it up now mate!
1. Nic Naitanui 164 - While Cox is around, he'll still be considered the #2 ruckman, but often his impact on the match is just as, if not greater than Cox's. One thing that's for sure is that they are the league's best ruck duo.

Jack is an A-grade midfielder
Coaching Disappointments:
5. Brent Stanton 70 - After a phenomenal start to 2012, Stanton has averaged just 70 in his last three. A tough call whether to keep or trade.
4. Pearce Hanley 44 - After averaging more than 100 in the last five weeks - who saw this coming? Come on, he's Irish - he's entitled to a bad one!
3. Brian Lake 49 - Lake has scored solidly, but he is by no means a keeper. Gotta move him on now before finals.
2. Michael Johnson 68 - Johnson has supposedly become a premium defender, but premiums don't push out sub-70 scores more than once a month.
1. Taylor Walker 39 - With fellow key tall Tippett out of the side, Walker had a huge opportunity to score big. The Cats held him well though, holding him goalless.

Just like Andrew Swallow, his form has been superb and he is probably his side's #1 midfielder now. Although he probably doesn't get the recognition he deserves, the 9,903 sides with him know just how good he is; averaging a whopping 132 points over the last 5 rounds.
