Two games are set to greet us on the last day of AFL Round 6, with the SCG playing host to the first cab off the rank as the Swans and Suns butt heads, before we travel to Marvel for North to do battle with Hawthorn under the roof.
Both games draw some level of intrigue, but for vastly different reasons. The lunchtime fixture holds the key for Sydney to build on their flag credentials after a hot start to the year, whereas Gold Coast lurk on the outskirts of the eight after their mixed run of form.
The arvo slot is reserved for the only two winless sides remaining in the competition, after West Coast knocked off Richmond the week prior, it looms as a timely matchup left to decide who holds up the ladder.
Draftstars have been kind enough to cover us with a whopping $60,000 main contest over the fixtured Sunday games, along with a trio of supplementary options that you may take a liking to for the final day of Round 6 action.

Where to Attack
Turn your attention to the latter of the two games scheduled on Sunday, it poses as a fascinating watch that has the potential to be high scoring as both teams will be looking to put pace on the footy and move it through the corridor.
Expect the majority of the game to be played between the arcs with the ball ping ponging around, paving the way for the onballers to post big numbers as well as key position players in charge of rebounding the footy.
Value Plays
Bigoa Nyuon ($8,000) made his debut game count and will only be better for the run as he aims to cement his spot in the Roos’ back six. His score of 83 was an unexpected but welcomed surprise, I’d be buying his stocks before they rise.
Nick Larkey ($8,420) has been threatening to post a large score all season, finds a suitable matchup this week against the Hawks where he can flourish and notch up a big number by stuffing the stat sheet come Sunday.
Mid-Priced Plays
Lloyd Meek ($10,630) is another hoping to cement his place in the side and with Ned Reeves facing concussion protocols after a collision in the VFL, he gains another opportunity to prove his point at a healthy enough price on offer.
Sam Clohesy ($10,940) has quickly become a household name in the fantasy world, after repeating the dose last week to show his first up performance was no fluke. With an average of 94.5 he is a money for jam type selection.
Premium Plays
Tom Powell ($13,750) hasn’t taken a backward step in his breakout 2024 season, as he continues to grow and evolve into the player we all envisioned on draft night. Consistency now becomes the big focus.
Isaac Heeney ($16,910) looms as the Brownlow Medal favourite after the opening month and a bit of footy, with his work in the engine room a thing of beauty. No brainer selection in your Draftstars, should be first selected.
