AL PATON
OUT: Lachie Sullivan, Alex Sexton, Jack Steele
IN: Kynan Brown, Charlie Curnow, Zach Merrett
This is our last chance to use three trades in a week, and I’m going out with a bang.
My plan 24 hours ago was to hang on to Sexton as bench cover, but he has been named on an extended bench with Wil Powell back from suspension and might be the sub even if he does survive. New theory: What’s the point having a $400k player on my bench when a rookie like Joel Freijah can deliver cover across two lines in case of emergency.
Brown is also a big chance to be the sub in his Demons debut but a midfield rookie allows me to cash in Sullivan then turn Sexton into Charlie Curnow, who has a dream run home starting with the Cats tonight where I suspect he could kick a bag.
The cash left over allows me to use a luxury trade to say goodbye to Jack Steele, one of my favourite players and best starting picks – he has gone off the boil but I won’t forget those first five rounds before most players jumped on board. In comes Zach Merrett, who does come with a tag risk, but which midfielder doesn’t? He’s the No.4 pure midfielder this season and the player who has scared me most coming up against him in a head-to-head match-up.
He should deliver a big score on debut for Don’t Argue against the Eagles; I might even make him captain.
These moves finish my team with 22 premiums – Curnow at F6 – and six trades and a bit of cash in reserve. Bring on the run home.
THE PHANTOM
OUT: Jack Steele, Kane McAuliffe and Lachie Sullivan
IN: Zach Merrett, Connor Rozee and a rookie
Could Merrett get tagged in the run home? Sure. Every star midfielder could. But Merrett has shown he can work through the attention and he should easily have Steele covered from here with one extra game anyway. I was always planning to sideways trade a premium for the bye.
Rozee comes in on field this week, but will be my 23rd man for the final nine rounds. Or, at least, share that tag with Clayton Oliver and Tom Green, depending who finds form.
Izak Rankine in for Tom Powell next week and then we’re done.
CHLOE WILLIAMS
OUT: Zac Williams, Sam Darcy
IN: Brodie Grundy, Karl Worner
You may be thinking, why did I still have these players? The answer is, I wanted high scoring bench options in my finished team, but I’m burying my ambitions for the sake of banking some cash.
I have some big targets on the horizon for next week, so this will give me the money I need while also welcoming Grundy back after the failed Sweet experiment. I don’t think Worner will end up playing, but at least he’s around the mark, so it will do.
DOS (PHANTOM JR)
OUT: Rowan Marshall, Jack Steele, Lachlan Sullivan
IN: Tom de Koning, Zach Merrett, Billy Dowling
Swinging for the fences to try and crack into the top 1000 and perhaps push even higher. I’m wary of Ross Lyon pulling any funny business on the run home, opting for a make-or-break decision to offload Marshall and Steele.
Billy Dowling comes in for Sullivan, ensuring I have some money in the bank to do one final shuffle next week if needed to enhance my completed team. TDK comes in as a juicy POD for the run home and immediately dons the VC (shout out Pig) – wish me luck!
DAN BATTEN
OUT: Tom Powell and Lachie Sullivan
IN: Dan Houston and Kynan Brown
We had a problem last week when we baulked on getting Houston. While Jordan Ridley looks like a great option, it would be tempting fate to ignore Houston again - especially with a match-up against St Kilda to come in a fortnight.
If Alex Sexton is dropped he will likely make way instead of Powell. I had thought about trading Bruce Reville over Powell, but I need every dollar I can to get Izak Rankine next week. I wouldn’t be backing Powell to outscore Reville anyway...
TIM MICHELL
I don’t know leave me alone.
Trade grades: Experts rate big round 15 moves
SuperCoach is a numbers game.
This week that number is 18. In the final bye round of the season, only the best 18 scorers count towards your team’s total for the week.
Just getting to 18 will be a challenge for many coaches, but three trades can help.
See the experts’ verdict on the 10 most traded out, and 10 most traded in, players for round 15, and scroll down for the full round 15 trade guide.
MOST TRADED OUT
1. LACHIE SULLIVAN $276,600 MID
Al Paton: TRADE. Not playing this week and the cash can help get someone who is.
Tim Michell: TRADE: Former Footscray VFL captain has been one of the best SuperCoach rookies of the year, only scoring below 50 once, providing great bye cover and making more than $170k. This is the perfect time to cash him in with his job security getting shaky as players start to return for Collingwood.
Patch: TRADE: Yep, get him outta here. Spot in jeopardy next week with De Goey back.
Chloe Williams: TRADE. He’s made $170k and his bye is the perfect time to cash him in. Done a stellar job for SuperCoaches and for Collingwood, but I feel like his run could come to an end soon.
2. JOEL FREIJAH $271,800 MID/FWD
AP: TRADE. Would be handy bench cover with his DPP but the name of the game is using rookies to make money to spend on better players.
TM: TRADE. Five scores out of six between 63 and 76, so you can mount an argument to hold him as cover at F7/M9. He’s still got money to make with a Break Even of 37, but with cash generation running out for many SuperCoaches this seems the perfect week to use his value to land a premium coming off the bye.
Patch: TRADE. l I’ve tried keeping a hold of him but simply need the cash. If you’re in the same boat, get rid of him.
CW: HOLD. If you must, his bye is the right time to move him on, but with a little more cash to make and an average of 65, I’m holding him for a little while longer.
3. JACK STEELE $535,200 MID
AP: CONSIDER. Not the same Jack Steele as early in the season (five-round average 97) and his bye is the time to make the jump. He could make me pay but I need the extra number this week, and I’m pretty confident 10 weeks of Zach Merrett will outscore nine of Steele. I wouldn’t do it if I had fewer than nine trades, though.
TM: HOLD ... I think. It’s team and trade dependent. Steele has really struggled since the opening five rounds of the season, battling through a knee issue that seems to have hampered his movement. But he still has four tons and a 98 in his last seven games (despite only averaging 21.5 disposals in the last two months). I would trade if it gets you to Zach Merrett, though.
Patch: HOLD: Mainly because I’m holding and want people to suffer with me, but also you should probably consider if you want a good 22 or a 23.
CW: HOLD Unfortunately, I made my bed and now I have to lie in it. I’m very tempted to trade but here’s to hoping he can someway, somehow recapture his start of season form so he doesn’t end up M9 or worse.
4. DARCY WILSON $338,800 MID/FWD
AP: TRADE. Worth $65k less than he was two weeks ago but still cash there to get to a premium playing this week if you pair him with Sullivan or Freijah.
TM: HOLD. You needed to jump off two weeks ago or last week to get full value from him. If you didn’t I would be inclined to use him as your M9/F7 swing after he bounced back with a 70 against Brisbane in round 14.
Patch: TRADE: Get him outta here, pronto.
CW: CONSIDER. You could ride him home, or you could use him to grab a premo this week … he’s already dipped in cash, though, so whatever you choose, act fast!
5. RILEY GARCIA $321,300 FWD
AP: TRADE. Made almost $200k, which is a fantastic return. Now it’s time to use the cash.
TM: CONSIDER. Averaging 70, so there’s no real rush to move him on. But you could trade Garcia to Jack Hutchinson this week, pocket $220k and use it to turn a player such as Joel Freijah into a premium. If that’s the case, then don’t hesitate.
Patch: TRADE: Done his job when I didn’t expect him to get a third game. Bravo, Riley.
CW: CONSIDER. He recorded a whopping 155 in the VFL, but the Dogs have regained Weightman, so he may spend some more time waiting in the wings. He’s at the perfect price to use as a stepping stone and is on the bye.
6. HUGO GARCIA $215,500 MID/FWD
AP: TRADE. If you’ve held on this long hoping for an AFL return it’s time to give up on that dream.
TM: TRADE. Doesn’t look like getting back into St Kilda’s side anytime soon despite decent numbers in the VFL. He hasn’t even been in the squad of 26 in recent weeks.
Patch: TRADE: If you need to get rid of him, then get rid of him.
CW: TRADE. I’ve been ‘considering’ Garcia for weeks in hope of a recall, but my hope has dwindled after the Saints’ valiant fightback and the returns of Dow, Clark and injection of Henry into the midfield. Hold if you must, but I’ll be trading.
7. TOM POWELL $391,700 FWD/MID
AP: HOLD. Has been scoring at least 70 most weeks until last week’s shocker. Likely to lose money but every warm body this week will be extremely valuable.
TM: CONSIDER. Lowest time on ground percentage of the season against Collingwood and his centre bounce attendances have dropped to 39 and 28 per cent in the past two weeks. Alastair Clarkson might make the decision for you at selection. The only reason I say consider is because if trading him leaves you with fewer than 18 players this week, you should hold.
Patch: CONSIDER: Would be nice as M9/F7 bench cover, but I dunno man.
CW: CONSIDER: If you need him for bye coverage, you may as well wait until next week, but his role is becoming less secure by the week.
8. HARVEY HARRISON $277,800 FWD
AP: TRADE. Worth $1k more than Sullivan.
TM: TRADE. Break Even is up to 43 and he has scored 42 in two of his past three matches.
Patch: TRADE. Get him outta here while you can.
CW: TRADE. Encroaching on his 43 BE and has the bye … the only trouble is the lack of downgrade options. Trade if you can, and thank him for his service.
9. TOM BROWN $314,100 DEF
AP: TRADE. Tigers have found one and I expect him to play out the year in the seniors but you could do a lot with that cash.
TM: TRADE. Arie Schoenmaker looks like he’ll be great defensive bench cover for the rest of the year, so it’s a good time to cash in Brown if you were holding him for insurance.
Patch: TRADE. Oh yeah, Tom Brown.
CW: TRADE: One of the rookies I regretfully missed on, he will be a star of the future – but trading him out now to Schoenmaker or Worner gives you the money to finish off those premiums.
10. WIL DAWSON $137,900 DEF/FWD
AP: HOLD. Not worth anything and that DEF/FWD status could save you from a doughnut in the run home.
TM: HOLD. Waste of a trade punting a player with such low value. His DPP swing will mean you can use Zac Fisher at either end, too.
Patch: HOLD. Unless you’ve gotta trade someone in defence for a rook then I don’t know what you’re doing here.
CW: HOLD. His DPP will be handy, so hold if you can. A nice loop option.
MOST TRADED IN
1. KARL WORNER $134,100 DEF
AP: CONSIDER. Unlikely to last long in the Freo team but if he’s playing this week that might be all we need.
TM: CONSIDER. Might be dropped for Brennan Cox this week or Heath Chapman if he’s fit. There are few better roles for SuperCoach scoring than playing defence for Fremantle and Worner would be a perfect trade in if his job security wasn’t so shaky.
Patch: BUY: I mean, sure. I don’t think he’s there in a few weeks but, like, sure.
CW: BUY: Is his role secure? No. Am I planning to buy anyway? Yes. Will I regret it? Probably. Will I panic and reverse when he inevitably isn’t named? Probably.
2. DAYNE ZORKO $573,500 FWD/MID
AP: BUY. Late to the party but that’s a good price for one of this year’s topscoring forwards.
TM: BUY. And thank your lucky stars he slowed down after halftime against St Kilda last week. When Zorko scored 112 points in the first half, it looked certain he’d reach his 180 Break Even and your decision to hold off a week would look foolish. As long as he stays fit, he’s a top-three forward.
Patch: BUY. You’ve missed the 140 but he’s as cheap as he’s getting for a while, so jump on.
CW: CONSIDER. It really depends on who else you’re after. I’ve already endured so many rough weeks without him, but his price should stay pretty similar next week unless he goes absolutely bonkers again. Buy if you can, though!
3. ZACH MERRETT $577,600 MID
AP: BUY. Tim is scaring me with all his tagger talk but Merrett has been ultra consistent all year and is owned by 51 per cent of the top 1 per cent of coaches. I think I need to join them.
TM: BUY. But beware the tag threat. There could be 6-7 coming during the run home with Merrett an obvious target for opposition teams. But he’s one of the top SuperCoach midfielders for less than $600k who has West Coast and Geelong in the next two weeks, when he could feast. Merrett still scored well with Alex Cincotta in his pocket in round 13, too.
Patch: CONSIDER: I’m... sceptical? He’s got a lot of taggers on the run home and is The Guy To Tag in the Essendon midfield. But I’ve been sceptical all year and he’s averaging 117.5 despite that, so what do I know.
CW: CONSIDER. The threat of taggers looms, but he didn’t have his best game against Cincotta and still scored 125, so there’s hope and his match-up this week against the Eagles is juicy.
4. ARIE SCHOENMAKER $117,300 DEF
AP: WAIT. Would like to be certain he’s named in round 16 before committing. Looks a real player, though.
TM: BUY. As long as you have 18 this week. The smart play is to hold off a week and make sure he isn’t squeezed out of St Kilda’s team despite an impressive debut. I don’t think he will be, but you’d be kicking yourself if you traded in a zero this week only for him to be back in the VFL when Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera returns.
Patch: BUY. If it doesn’t stuff your byes then sure, go for it. I’m worried about his scoring and JS when Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera returns though.
CW: BUY. The return of Nas could squeeze him out, but his debut was very impressive. I passed on Aleer due to questioning his role with Buckley returning, so hopefully Schoenmaker has made enough of a mark to earn his keep. too. I don’t want to make that mistake again!
5. BILLY DOWLING $123,900 MID/FWD
AP: CONSIDER. As with Arie ideally we wait until after his bye but if you need a mid/fwd rookie this week to make your trades work then I think he’s a safe pick. Should be a good bench back-up for us for the rest of the year.
TM: CONSIDER. Matthew Nicks said before Adelaide’s clash with Sydney that Dowling was in the mix to be the sub. I’d be wary of trading him in this week on the off chance he’s relegated to that role in round 15. But if he enables you to get a premium, do it.
Patch: BUY. Assuming it doesn’t stuff your byes up.
CW: BUY. His job security is not ideal, but he’s been solid in a shaky Crows side. Once again though, the bye does you no favours.
6. JACK HUTCHINSON $102,400 FWD
AP: CONSIDER. Very cheap but had four disposals on debut two weeks ago. Take a look at what your team will look like after the byes before locking him in. If you will have to play him on field or sit him on the bench next to another low-scoring player who could get dropped (hello, Nathan Kreuger), I’d be worried.
TM: CONSIDER. Not completely sold that he holds his spot this round with Oscar Allen a chance to return. Even if he does, it could be as sub and the Eagles have to find a spot for Harley Reid in round 16. Feels like his senior stint might be short-lived.
Patch: BUY: If he’s named then let’s go.
CW: CONSIDER. I may swing him in late if he’s named, but I’m not sold on his job security. His price is very enticing, though …
7. LUKE JACKSON $509,300 RUC/FWD
AP: BUY. Not sure what the knock on Dogga is. Can be frustrating especially when he has to play with Sean Darcy, but he’s the No.4 forward on averages, has two scores over 150 and can cover a ruck injury. On that alone I would pick him ahead of a Rankine or Curnow as your final forward.
TM: CONSIDER. Averaging 93 with Sean Darcy in the Dockers’ side since he returned in round 11, so there’s no rush. But if you’re running low on trades and need ruck cover, Jackson makes sense.
Patch: BUY: I mean he’s cheap and will still likely be a top-six forward on the run home.
CW: CONSIDER: It feels a bit late to buy Jackson, but he’s scoring nicely if you plan on keeping him forward. A three-round average of 93.3 sounds terrible for a ruck, but great for a forward, right?
8. SAAD EL-HAWLI $102,400 MID/DEF
AP: CONSIDER. Cruelled by injury but his price and DPP could still make him viable as a bench player you can use to swing others between lines.
TM: PASS. Set to miss another six weeks with an ankle injury. If you’re desperate for a cheap DEF-MID, Lawson Humphries seems to be closing in on a debut for Geelong after posting some huge VFL numbers in recent weeks.
Patch: CONSIDER: If you need a non-playing DPP then he’s the DEF-MID one. I’m bringing him in this week, but make sure you’re aware he won’t play seniors this year due to injury.
CW: CONSIDER. If you’re desperate for cash and need a loop going into the back end of the year, then yes, at least he has DPP. But his syndesmosis injury means he won’t be playing.
9. DAN HOUSTON $574,600 DEF
AP: BUY. I considered him last week but, in the words of the SCodfather, decided instead to pay more money for fewer points in the form of Jordan Clark. Oops.
TM: BUY. Always stings to miss a big score but Sunday provided another reminder of the huge ceiling Houston possesses. He’s had his bye and is available for about $20k less than his starting price.
Patch: BUY: He’s good! 174 points worth of good, to be exact.
CW: BUY. If you can, go for it. A five-round average of 117.2, he’s almost slipped under the radar – for me anyway. Maybe he left my radar once Tim bought him?
10. CONNOR ROZEE $418,900 MID
AP: PASS. One ton consider in the next couple of weeks as a dirt cheap extra premo.
TM: PASS. Rozee’s Break Even is 130, so there’s a decent chance he’s close to $400k next week. He could even cop a tag from Jarrod Berry this round. Have another look this week and then trade him in before Port Adelaide plays St Kilda in round 15 to polish off your midfield.
Patch: AVOID: I don’t see it just yet. Wait another week if you can.
CW: CONSIDER. With a projected score of 63 and Break Even of 130, he’s likely to drop even more, so I’m happy to wait and see.
Trade guide: Rookies, stars to save us from bye oblivion
– Al Paton
The scramble is on.
After a head-spinning seven bye rounds so far in 2024, there is light at the end of the tunnel with just one to go.
But round 15 could trip up plenty of coaches with a host of popular SuperCoach players missing and trades starting to dwindle.
Here’s a short list of premiums on the bye this week – Marcus Bontempelli, Nick Daicos, Jordan Dawson, Jack Steele, Dylan Moore. And where things really start to bite is with cheapies who we normally rely on to cover missing guns.
Lachie Sullivan, Joel Freijah, Darcy Wilson, Hugo Garcia, Riley Garcia, Kane McAuliffe, Jack Bytel, Nathan Kreuger and Billy Dowling can’t help us.
You can’t move on Dowling or Kreuger yet, and most of the others have limited cash to deploy, although packaging up two of them could get you to a bye-free gun.
That leaves the sideways trade option, with Dawson (three-round average 83.6), Steele (five-round average 97.2) and Moore (one ton in his past six games) under consideration to be traded out on their bye.
Our advice on all three is to hold firm unless moving them on is the only way to get 18 scoring players – and you have enough trades left to survive the run home. And the player you’re getting instead is a rolled gold SuperCoach star.
Luckily, there are some outstanding targets this week fresh off the round 14 bye.
ROOKIES
Karl Worner $134,100 DEF
A defensive rookie on the bubble seems like a SuperCoach gift, but there is a catch. Worner’s scoring has been good, with totals of 63 (when he was subbed off with concussion in the third quarter) and 78 in his two matches – resulting in a -63 Break Even. The catch is those two matches were 13 rounds apart; after returning from concussion protocols Worner had to bide his time in the WAFL until he was a late in against the Dogs on Saturday. He replaced Heath Chapman, who was a late out with hamstring awareness. Worner’s spot could be in danger if Chapman returns next week, while Brennan Cox could also be available after his own hamstring layoff. Wait for teams – if Worner is named for his third match, he’ll be the ideal round 15 downgrade.
Arie Schoenmaker $117,300 DEF
The Tasmanian slid to No.62 in the draft but that is looking like a steal after his accomplished debut for the Saints on Friday night. Eighteen disposals for 83 points makes him the standout cheapie target – or it would if St Kilda didn’t have the bye. If you can field 18 this week you could still trade him in to free up cash, otherwise he’s a great downgrade target next week. If you don’t mind trading in a cheapie on the bye, Billy Dowling ($123k MID/FWD, Break Even -46) and Nathan Kreuger ($123k FWD, BE -50) will be on the bubble in round 16.
Jack Hutchinson $102,400 FWD
The Eagles play this week which is a plus, but Hutchinson’s 40 points on debut from four disposals two weeks ago is less inspiring. While the price is appealing, Hutchinson’s scoring potential and job security are very large question marks. Wait until teams are finalised if possible before committing – West Coasts faces Essendon in the first Sunday game.
Jye Menzie $209,600 FWD
The Essendon small forward was deployed in a new role at half-back in round 13 and the move was a success as Menzie collected 20 disposals and 92 SuperCoach points – resulting in a -35 Break Even entering round 15. A match-up against the Eagles is enticing but the likely return of Mason Redman could send Menzie back to the forward pocket. If Brad Scott commits during the week to the Menzie defender experiment, we are very interested.
PREMIUMS
You won’t find the names Max Gawn or Sam Flanders on this list. If for some reason you don’t have one or both, correct that error now.
Zach Merrett $577,600 MID
We could nearly have included Merrett with Gawn or Flanders, but his ownership is much lower at 23 per cent. That is largely due to a larger pool of top-end midfielders, a reluctance by many coaches to start Merrett in the hope his price would fall early in the season, and an inability to afford him when that turned out to be very wrong. But the planets have aligned as the Bombers exit their bye, with the skipper finally available at a discount of $72k from his starting value. That’s a result of two down games – scores of 94 and 97 count as down weeks when Merrett has scored at least 108 every week this year, including six totals over 125. He’s the fourth-ranked pure midfielder on average and looks a lock to finish in the top six. If you can find a way to get him, you won’t look back.
Jordan Ridley $563,900 DEF
The No.1 ranked defender on averages, he’s way underpriced based on those numbers. The average is skewed slightly by the fact Ridley has played just three matches after missing the first 10 rounds with injury. It is also heavily impacted by a monster 162 against Richmond, a team that gives up bulk points to defenders just about every week (including 147 to James Sicily last round). But Ridley also went over 110 against Gold Coast and Carlton, has a great role and he finishes the season with nine of his last 10 games at either Marvel Stadium or the MCG.
Max Holmes $574,200 DEF/MID
One of the surprise packets of 2024, Holmes has scored well wherever Chris Scott has deployed him this year – averaging 103.7. But his numbers really spiked when he became a fixture at centre bounces, resulting in a three-round average of 118. Holmes has attended at least 40 per cent of CBAs in his past four games, resulting in scores of 104, 134, 133 and 88. Match-ups against St Kilda and West Coast in the final two rounds could be big for SuperCoach finals.
Jeremy McGovern $555,200 DEF
West Coast’s intercept king has been a fantastic POD for 8 per cent of SuperCoaches this year. He has tonned up in nine of his 13 games and from round 9-12 he scored between 114 and 117 in four straight matches. A horror injury history is an obvious red flag but he has played every game so far this year, even fronting up the next week after he was taken to hospital following a horror landing against Collingwood. In that game he was subbed out in the second quarter – and still scored 114.
Matt Rowell $541,800 MID
This is a bargain price for one of the powerhouse scorers of the first half of the season. But Rowell has been off the boil lately, with just two scores over 100 in his past six outings. His rollercoaster scoring mirrors the Suns’ this year; Rowell is averaging 148.8 in five matches at People First Stadium on the Gold Coast, and 100.1 elsewhere. The answer to the obvious question is the Suns have four home matches to come in the final 10 rounds, but away fixtures against North Melbourne, West Coast and Richmond should provide the opportunity for some more big scores.
Sam Walsh $548,800 MID
The fixture should also do Walsh some favours after a very tough run by the Blues and some close attention from taggers. Walsh, who hasn’t scored below 85 this year, returns from the bye against Geelong, which has given up huge scores to opposition midfielders including 157 to Errol Gulden, 149 to Noah Anderson, 128 to Matt Rowell, 157 to Ollie Wines and 147 to Zak Butters – all since round 9. Then comes the Tigers, before a clash against North Melbourne in round 19 and a dream SuperCoach finals run – Hawthorn, West Coast, St Kilda (hopefully Marcus Windhager is out of the tagging business by then).
Charlie Curnow $448,300 FWD
See all the fixture notes above for Curnow, who is a major boom or bust option to finish our forward lines. With very few reliable scorers at that end of the ground, it could be the perfect time to take a flyer on a superstar at a bargain price. Curnow hasn’t gone ballistic yet this season – his season-high is 122 against North Melbourne – but he rarely flops either, with just four scores under 80 (and three of those were in the 70s). And if you need a reminder of what Charlie is capable of, check out these scores from last season: 130 against North, 186 against West Coast, 127 against Gold Coast, 178 against West Coast again. A reminder, the Blues finish the year against the Hawks, Eagles and Saints.
Jeremy Cameron $420,000 FWD
The logic of picking Jezza is the same as Charlie, although Cameron has had three scores of 61 or worse so far this year. On the flip side, he’s gone over 120 three times, too. The Cats’ fixture is almost as enticing as Carlton’s with a clash against the Kangaroos (in Hobart), the Saints in SuperCoach preliminary final weekend and the Eagles in the SuperCoach grand final.
