The AFL Fantasy landscape is ever-changing, and with the recent injury to Tim English, the question on every coach's mind is: who to replace him with? The answer, according to form, seems clear: Max Gawn. But at what cost? Gawn, a powerhouse in the ruck position, is averaging an impressive 125 this season, and his upcoming match-ups are nothing short of favorable. However, his price tag is a staggering $210,000 more than that of Brodie Grundy, who has been quietly racking up points. Grundy's recent score of 137 places him as a valuable asset, offering a potential $210,000 in savings to improve other areas of the team. The decision between Gawn and Grundy is a tricky one, and it's a testament to the competitive nature of the game.
