So, here we are, at fantasy footballs night of night.
The red carpet has been walked, and the WAGs are out in full flight.
The have been some winners, and a heck of a lot of shockers tonight, but there will only be one real winner tonight.
So without further ado, lets move onto round one.
Round One.
The season opened with two former West Coast champions, battling for their new clubs. But it was Carlton, led by their captain, Chris Judd and a massive effort by Marc Murphy that got Carlton over the line. Meanwhile the grand final rematch turned out to be a ripper with Geelong again failing to convert in front of goal, and Hawthorn making it an eight point ball game.

Round 2
In a lot of ways, set the tone for the year. St Kilda again dominated their opponent, Geelong did enough to get over the line, while Hawthorn opened their title defense with a second defeat due to a might effort by Darren Jolly.

Round 5
To replicate the week before effort, St Kilda went on to defeat Port Adelaide 15.12 102 to 5.6 36, not to be outdone by Geelong who decimated the Lions 18.18 126 to 5.3 33 firmly instilling both teams as the teams to watch, and starting the countdown to round 14.
And it must be mentioned, in front of a packed MCG, David Zaharakis put the Bombers 5 points in front of the Magpies with seconds remaining.

So, as we take our first break, we see Ablett leading both competitions with the Ablett (SC), Montagna (DT) combination currently taking out the prize.
As we know though, Dane Swan is bound to start his charge up the leader board sooner or later.
So tune in tomorrow as we continue the count down to fantasy footballs greatest prize of all.
The Too Serious Best and Fairest.
