Another Sunday fun day three-game slate this week to close out Round 10 of the 2025 AFL Premiership season!
Things get underway with an attractive fantasy game between two of the cellar dwellars in Richmond and North Melbourne at the MCG. The winner of this game would almost certainly avoid winning the spoon so it should be a good battle. We then move to the Gabba where the reigning premiers and top of the table Brisbane will take on the 15th placed Melbourne. This has game stack written all over it for the Lions who are massive favourites. Then we get a typical nightcap and hammer game out west with West Coast hosting St Kilda at Optus Stadium in what will round out a three-game slate with three juicy AFL fantasy options.
As always this is all about the daily fantasy and this Sunday slate draws another massive $60,000 prize pool at Draftstars in their main contest. In addition, there are a variety of alternate contests:
AFL $60,000+ Sunday
AFL $5,000+ Sunday High Roller ($150 Entry)
AFL $3,000+ Sunday Mini ($2 Entry)

AFL Daily Fantasy Lineup Tips: Round 10 Sunday
AFL Fantasy Round 10 Sunday: Where to Attack?
West Coast are giving up an incredible 12 points per game above league average to key forwards this season. This is over double the next highest to the position. But we do have other options on this slate to target with key forwards as Richmond, North Melbourne and Melbourne are all giving up above league average scores.
Richmond are giving up the second highest scores in the league to inside midfielders, which will make North Melbourne mid stacks a solid option. But again this slate is hot with options as Melbourne, West Coast and North Melbourne are all giving up above average points to the position and not far behind Richmond.
Richmond are giving up an enormous amount of points to defenders across the board. They are conceding almost 14 points per game above league average to attacking defenders off half back, and 13 points per game above league average to the designated kicker. St Kilda and Melbourne are the two next highest for point conceded to these positions and are also on this slate to target.
Game Script: Brisbane stacks, key forwards and inside midfielders, North Melbourne backs
AFL Fantasy Round 10 Sunday: Our Value Fantasy Picks
Tobie Travagia ($6,000) / Finn O’Sullivan ($6,070)
Two interesting value propositions on this slate - noting there are several options that are in elite spots that are also potential value plays. Travagia has been ripping it apart at the VFL level with three 100+ scores from his last four games at that level. Assuming he plays a full game, it is a great spot for him against West Coast to return value.
O’Sullivan doesn’t get the ball very often, but he does have a great role in the back line for this matchup against Richmond and I like using him to get salary relief if I am stacking up North backs. If you have salary to spend up a touch further then Aiden Corr ($8,110) is a good choice for stacks.
Eric Hipwood ($9,220) has been in strong form in recent weeks with scores of 84 and 74 in his last three games. This match is projected to be a fill up for the Lions and Hipwood should get on the end of plenty of goals up there. If you are looking to stack other games and want to take advantage of the points being conceded by the Eagles to key forwards, I would look to Mitch Owens ($10,000) or Anthony Caminiti ($9,470).
AFL Fantasy Round 10 Sunday: Our Mid Price Fantasy Picks
Dylan Stephens ($9,430) continues to play on the wing and across half back for North and has posted back-to-back scores of 76 and 91. As mentioned above, this is an elite matchup for that role against Richmond and Stephens is an solid option especially if you are stacking up North backs.
AFL Fantasy Round 10 Sunday: Our Premium Fantasy Picks
Rowan Marshall ($16,590) draws the best matchup in the league this year for rucks (maybe the best matchup ever seen). West Coast have been giving up a ridiculous 19 points per game above league average to rucks this year and Marshall is right back into top form after a flat spell posting a three game average of 104 points and 116 last week.
Harry Sheezel ($16,940) ...back to the heralded Sheezey ball in this matchup against Richmond. As noted above, the Tigers are giving up an ungodly amount of fantasy points to attacking half backs and designated kicks this season and Sheezel plays both of these roles for North Melbourne. Sheezel has shown 130+ point upside as little as two weeks ago in this role.
