Defenders
Buy
Logan Austin (St Kilda)
Logan Austin has only played one game for the Saints, but when that one game was a score of 106, heโs hard to ignore. With a depleted St Kilda backline for at least a couple of weeks, he will get games and there should be plenty of ball coming back there.
Jimmy Webster (St Kilda)
The St Kilda fan favourite is in career-best form and is averaging 116.8 over the last five rounds. He is premium price but heโs only in 4% of teams so he is a great point of difference.
Sell
Jeremy Finlayson (GWS)
Jeremey Finlayson started the year really well, but has since dropped off and now finds himself in the twos, which is concerning considering all the injuries the Giants. Heโs had his chance to redeem himself but now itโs time to trade and use the money heโs made to upgrade your team.
Hold
Sam Murray (Collingwood)
This running defender was all the rage for defender rookies at the start of the season but he has since gone quiet. The Pies gave him a rest last week and we need to wait and see if they bring him back in this week but he is worth holding on to.
Midfielders
Buy
Dayne Beams (Brisbane)
Dayne Beams has had to give up his captaincy at the Lions, but that isnโt affecting his form. He can be very hit and miss, but a score of 140 last week against the Swans shows he could be worth bringing into your side.
Will Hoskin-Elliot (Collingwood)
If youโre looking for a mid-priced midfielder then Will Hoskin-Elliot could be the man. Heโs not consistent but he can put some big scores on the board and he scores well in big games.
Sell
Jack Higgins (Richmond)
This Tigers youngster showed promise with a score of 91 earlier in the season, but since then he has only been scoring in the 50s and it is probably time to downgrade to a cheaper option.
Dustin Martin (Richmond)
Dusty is breaking the hearts of Supercoach players with his below average scores but save him for one more week. He has been best on ground against Essendon in their last few encounters and always performs on the big stage.
Rucks
Buy
Tom Bellchambers (Essendon)
The Bombers big man scored 109 from three disposals last week. His tap work has been very good this year and now that his midfielders are beginning to stand up around the stoppages, his hit out to advantage numbers have been huge. A cheaper option than your Brodie Grundy and Max Gawn types.
Sell
Jordan Roughead (Western Bulldogs)
The Bulldogs keep giving Jordan Roughead his chance but he is not delivering. Not many people have got him, but on the off-chance that you do, offload.
Hold
Aaron Sandilands (Fremantle)
Big Sandi is out this week with concussion but he should be back next week. It is not worth using a trade on him with the bye rounds coming up.
Forwards
Buy
Timothy Smith (Melbourne)
Tim Smith has come from the clouds and answered our needs for a decent forward rookie. It will be hard for him to back up a 91 and 101 this week, but either way heโs in for a big pay day after this round.
Michael Walters (Fremantle)
It didnโt take long for Michael Walters to hit form again and with a score of 146 youโd be pretty happy if youโve stuck with him while he was out. He is till only $419k which is an absolute bargain.
Sell
Zac Giles-Langdon (GWS)
Zac Giles-Langdon hasnโt shown much Supercoach form but weโve kept him because he gets a game and could be a handy emergency. Thereโs better people to have on your bench as an emergency so just trade him.
Toby Greene (GWS)
This GWS superstar is a Supercoach favourite but we havenโt seen him on the park for five weeks and the Giants still donโt know when he will be back. They have swirled around the idea that he could be back after the bye but it doesnโt sound convincing. Trade him out until heโs back.
Hold
Lance Franklin (Sydney)
Buddy is a superstar, that goes without saying. As a key forward his Supercoach scores are always going to fluctuate and you shouldnโt be scared off by his score of 60 last week against the Lions in bad conditions in Queensland. This week the Swans take on the Blues at home and it wouldnโt surprise if Buddy had an absolute field day here. Donโt give up on him yet.
