MAX Gawn is ranked as the No.1 AFL Fantasy player in the competition, but with a $943,000 price tag next to his name, is he a must-have?

Carlton ruckman Marc Pittonet has been a solid contributor for tens of thousands of Fantasy Classic teams. He is currently $170k up on his starting price but following his score of 30 on the weekend, his breakeven has shot up and he must be moved on.

Pittonet is currently the most traded out player in Fantasy Classic.

Who he goes to is the big question. Do you find the $468,000 and get Gawn in? Or do you look to spend your coin more wisely and spread out your cash?

Roy, Calvin and Warnie consider the best ruck options and other trade targets for this week on this week’s episode of the Official AFL Fantasy Podcast with The Traders.
