Three weeks of byes down, one to go… Get your trade tips and advice for the week with buy, hold, fold!
BUY
Brad Crouch ($853K MID, STK) – 109
B.Crouch is ticking a lot of boxes. Bye done, under-priced, unique and is never getting attention from other clubs because most of his disposals hit one of them on the tit! Peak fantasy.
Benny Keays ($675K MID/FWD, CROM) – DNP
Fresh off the bye and cashing in on bulk midfield minutes of late, Benny Keays is your go to man if you are looking for value! As long as Nicksy doesn’t dick around with the magnets we should be fine, right?
Angus Sheldrick ($275K MID/FWD, SYD) – 82
82 from 55% game time?! The kid can fantasy. Job security should be fine for a little while now so non-owners will be jumping on for the next big price rise – breakeven of -21 heading in R15! $$$$$$$$$$
In the Mix: Marcus Windhager, Elliot Yeo, Kai Lohmann, Ryan Maric.
HOLD
Tom Stewart ($813K DEF, GEEL) – 66
Port made life tough for Stewwy and it reflected in this poor score… He’s a definite hold this week however, as we navigate probably the trickiest of the bye rounds.
Lachie Whitfield ($809K MID/DEF, GWS) – 90
This is line-ball this one… And may largely depend on your bye structure and what your bench cover looks like come R15. At this stage, I’ll probably hold this week and re-assess next week! He has been offered a one week suspension for the below…
Zak Butters ($941K MID/FWD, PA) – 77
Talk about a classic stitch up for those who jumped on a maxxed out Burnt Butters… In any case you are holding every day of the year, even with Port’s bye this week!
In the Mix: Jack Steele, Jackson Macrae, Matthew Johnson.
FOLD
Dylan ‘Dyl Will’ Williams ($557K FWD/DEF) – 75
Thank you Dyl, it’s been an unreal ride! He has largely flown under the radar with his ownership never >5%… His bye comes at a convenient time to thank Dyl for his services and move him on!
George Warlord ($469K MID, NORF) – 31
Some may say this is a little premature, however, for coaches struggling to get 18 together going early on a Warlord trade is a viable play! When he comes back his breakeven will be in the 50’s so there’s probably some room for growth unless he has another stinker.
Jack Ziebell ($802K FWD/DEF, NORF) – 59
Speaking of stinkers… Not really sure what happen to Ziebell here but he only ended up playing 64% of the game. Fair to say the bye comes at a good time for Ziebs and coaches alike who are looking to move him on!
In the Mix: Will Ashcroft, Bazlenka Sm(n)iff, Pheonix Spicer.
