IT IS that time in the season where most AFL Fantasy Classic coaches are sideways trading premiums for other premiums. They don't always go to plan.
Roy was annoyed by Caleb Serong and moved him to Josh Dunkley. That move alone lost him 60-plus points and a spot in the top 100. Rather than whinging (OK, there is some), he is looking to make things better for round 20.

There are still some big calls ahead of Fantasy finals in leagues.
Coaches haven't landed on the perfect players to fill out the forward line. It looks like Dylan Moore is the best of the options under the 'big four', but who else is putting their hand up?
Calvin is keen on Mason Wood. He's excited by the Saints' draw which includes the Bombers this week. Can he continue to average mid-90s in the run home? If so, then lock him in. Roy is trading in Ben Keays. He had a big game kicking five goals, but it was his 50-point last quarter playing as a midfielder that has him most excited with Jordan Dawson missing this week through concussion protocols.
