AFL Fantasy 2026 – Round 23 Review | Huge Boxshall, Super Swadling & V-Good Vigo

It’s grand final week! Heff is joined by Matty D’Sena to review Round 23 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective.

Vigo Visentini backed up his impressive return with a huge 120 points from 19 disposals, nine marks, six tackles, 14 hitouts and a goal. He’s now averaging 110 across his two AFL appearances this season, so should coaches grab him off the waivers for the grand final and beyond?

Sam Swadling produced the best performance of his young career, scoring 104 points from 29 disposals and seven marks. With his ability to find space on the outside and collect plenty of uncontested possessions, are we looking at a future fantasy pig—and is now the time to buy in keeper leagues?

Hugh Boxshall also reached triple figures, finishing with 104 points from 21 disposals, 11 tackles and 19 centre-bounce attendances. With St Kilda’s midfield lacking depth, could the tackling machine establish himself as a genuine long-term fantasy option?

We also work through plenty of other names worth monitoring, including Bradley Hill, Jack Macrae, Liam Stocker, Blake Acres, Nick Haynes, Billy Wilson, Stephen Coniglio, Beau McCreery, Roan Steele and more.

As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

If you're playing draft and keeper leagues, this episode is packed with the insights you need to make the right calls for grand final week and prepare for next season.

Good luck to everyone competing in their keeper league grand final!
