It’s the circle of life and the move which has turned one of the most consistent SuperCoach scorers into a SuperCoach king.
Lachie Neale is officially the new lion king, rising in price to $646,300 after scores of 127, 140 and 177 in the opening three rounds.

RAGE TRADES: SHOULD WE TRADE TOM ROCKLIFF?
The ex-Docker has scored 45 points more than the next best player — Carlton co-captain Patrick Cripps — yet is still somewhat a point of difference in just 22 per cent of teams.
If you started with a player such as Dustin Martin or Joel Selwood, you might want to find the money to turn them into Neale this week.
He’s still heading up in price with a break even of 63 and has had 43 possessions in the past two weeks for the Lions.
The first week of price rise caused Tom Liberatore, Charlie Constable, Connor Rozee and Willem Drew to surge in price, while Tom McDonald, Lance Franklin and Kade Simpson experienced the greatest falls.
Neale’s 177 was the greatest score of Round 3, closely followed by GWS’ seven-goal hero Jeremy Cameron with 163.
Cripps (157), Luke Ryan (156), Lachie Whitfield (152) and Tom Liberatore (150) also reached 150.
Keep monitoring the break evens in coming weeks as you decide the trades which will determine the course of your season.
Constable (-59), Liberatore (-55), Rozee (-48) and Gryan Miers (-48) headline the players who still have the most money to make.

CHAMPION DATA MARKET WATCH
Isaac Heeney
Heeney bounced back to score a season and team-high 137 SuperCoach points against
the Blues. But despite his points haul it wasn’t enough to stop a $10k drop. He was
immense in attack, booting a game-high four goals to go with one score assist and 11
score involvements. Heeney also had 26 disposals, 14 contested possessions and four
clearances.
Tom Liberatore
Liberatore enjoyed a massive price rise of $79k after scoring a game-high 150
SuperCoach points against the Suns. He had 32 disposals and game-highs of 22
contested possessions, 12 first possessions and 12 clearances from 81% game time.
He did his best work in close, winning a game-high 15 pre-clearance disposals.
Zach Merrett
Merrett led the Bombers to their first win of the season courtesy of a season-high 120
SuperCoach points. He had 22 effective disposals, 14 contested possessions, six
clearances, seven tackles and two inside 50s from 79% game-time. Merrett didn’t hit
the scoreboard but was involved in five scoring chains.
YOUNG GUN
CHARLIE CONSTABLE
Charlie continues to shine for the Cats, finishing with 23 disposals, 11 contested
possessions, three clearances and one goal last round against the Crows. He finished
with SuperCoach 99 points for the match, of which 59 were scored in the second half
— ranked fifth on the ground.
