It was a week for the midfielders in SuperCoach as Clayton Oliver returned to form in spectacular fashion on the Gold Coast and Tim Kelly ran amok against North Melbourne.

Oliver had fallen by almost $80,000 from his $622,000 price tag before he amassed 38 disposals, laid 15 tackles and scored 175 SuperCoach in the Demons’ last-gasp win.

His incredible performance pushed his price back to $568,000 and with a break even of 66 he’s one of the top fallen premiums to target ahead of Round 9.

Kelly had 36 possessions and booted two goals to lead Geelong past a gallant North Melbourne, launching his price to $533,300 only two weeks after he was available for $476,700.

If you missed the boat, don’t be put off by paying his current price. If he maintains his average of 107.5 for the rest of the year, he’ll likely be the top scoring forward of the year.

The easiest way to reach fallen premiums is via a downgrade to build you bank, but we’ll need some fortune this week with only a select group of rookies on the bubble.

GWS two-gamer Jackson Hately ($148,800, Mid) is the pick, while Carlton’s Liam Stocker ($126,300, Mid) showed signs of promise against Collingwood at the weekend.

Both have a friendly bye, but if you need rookies who are guaranteed to play then there’s an element of risk attached.
