Fantasy footy is back for the finals, with AFL Fantasy Match Day set to run across this weekend's Hawthorn v Geelong semi-final. And you can win $1000 for each game you play, with $3000 on offer come Grand Final day.

So, if your Dream Team or AFL Fantasy Elite squad failed to fire or fell just short when it really mattered, here is your shot at redemption.

AFL Fantasy Match Day is a quick and easy game played over a single AFL match.

Coaches go head-to-head with their rival in a one-game contest, with each coach selecting eight players – two defenders, three midfielders, one ruckman and two forwards – from the two competing teams.

The coach whose eight players score the most combined points, wins.

This weekend, you can challenge a mate or colleague to an AFL Fantasy Match Day battle during one or all of the following clashes:

Hawthorn v Geelong, Friday 7.50pm (AEST)
