Active in loss
Liberatore logged 26 disposals (16 kicks, 10 handballs) and made eight tackles during Saturday's 64-37 loss to Hawthorn.
ANALYSIS
Liberatore has scored at least 92 fantasy points over his last four games, which has made him a useful option aside from the always-busy Jack Macrae or Marcus Bontempelli. As the finals approach by the week, Liberatore sits with a steady average of 24.2 disposals per game.

Listed as test
Liberatore is listed as a test for Round 19 against Melbourne due to soreness, according to medical chief Chris Bell. "Tom (Liberatore) had some persisting general soreness. Being a long year, we want to make decisions to make sure that Tom plays at his best,"
ANALYSIS
Liberatore has scored over 100 fantasy points in two of his last four games, so he may force his way back into the team for a top-of-the-ladder clash with Melbourne. If not, that's one less weapon that should come at a more reasonable cost from a strong Bulldogs team.

Extends contract by two seasons
Liberatore signed a two-year contract extension with the Western Bulldogs on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Liberatore was set to be a free agent but some stellar performances since the June bye helped him secure a new deal with a good team. After scoring over 110 points in two of his last three starts, Liberatore is worth considering as an alternate to some of the better weapons on the Bulldogs.

Scores two in win
Liberatore scored two goals and two behinds to go with 25 disposals (14 kicks, 11 handballs) in addition to making six marks and completing five tackles during Sunday's 108-79 win over North Melbourne in Round 16.
ANALYSIS
Liberatore managed to outscore heavyweight fantasy stars in Marcus Bontempelli and Jack Macrae in Sunday's win. This hasn't proved to be a sustainable strategy for Liberatore to keep up his production, but if the price is right, he'll provide a high-risk, high-reward piece to a lineup.

Solid effort in loss
Liberatore scored one goal to go with 30 disposals (11 kicks, 19 handballs) and made eight tackles during Friday's 83-78 loss to Geelong in Round 14.
ANALYSIS
Liberatore doesn't always rank among his team's best players on the ball but managed to reach 30 disposals after barely collecting 19 in each of the previous two matches. He's topped 100 fantasy points on four occasions this season, but his scoring floor is a little too low to be reliable as he's scored as few as 61 fantasy points in a game with 27 disposals back in Round 9.
