SuperCoaches have been given treats in the forward line, with Christian Petracca, Nic Martin and Chad Warner now eligible as forwards.

Dean Cox had to keep Warner forward for 35 per cent of the Swans’ clash with the Magpies on Friday during Gather Round, and held up his end of the bargain despite the Swans lacking firepower up forward.

Nic Martin is also now a dual position player, with the defender adding forward eligility after playing off half-forward and on a wing for the Bombers this season.

Harley Reid’s move to defence makes him available as a defender, while Jaspa Fletcher, Dylan Shiel and Jack Silvagni are also eligible to be picked in the back line.

Despite spending the last fortnight as a defender, Sam De Koning is now ruck eligible after starting in the guts, while Joel Freijah, Bailey Humphrey, Izak Rankine and Jack Macrae have also gained midfield status.

Rookies have also been shuffled around, with Levi Ashcroft, Sam Lalor, Jack Henderson and Murphy Reid all gaining forward eligibility.

Finn O’Sullivan, Joel Hamling and Conor Stone gained defender status and Sam Davidson is now eligible as a midfielder.
