TWO down and one to go.
The round 15 bye presents us with one almighty challenge with many premium players on the sidelines. Hopefully you have weathered the storm over the last two weeks and have progressively made your team better.
This week, the strategy remains the same. Trade out players who are having their byes for any player who has already had theirs.
Tom Phillips (FWD/MID, $179,000) is the perfect option as a downgrade option. He scored 92 last week and will be the most traded-in player.
After being a late in for the Tigers, Nathan Broad (DEF, $138,000) has tempted many but we will have to wait until tonight to see if he’s lucky again and named to take on the Power.
Leigh Montagna (FWD/MID, $491,000) is one of the premium options coaches are cashing in on, along with Bernie Vince (DEF/MID, $519,000) as coaches start to patch up their struggling backlines.
Warnie attempted this last week and even with a misfiring 'Cannon', he somehow managed to romp up the rankings once again. For some reason, the great man thought it was a stroke of genius bringing in Trent McKenzie (DEF, $206,000). However 'The Cannon' failed miserably and only managed 34. Despite that being one of his best scores for the year, McKenzie injured his quad and now must be traded.

To make matters even worse, he dropped $14,000 from the cheap price Warnie picked him up at. Regardless of the blunder, Warnie had the last laugh, outscoring his two so-called 'friends' and placing Roy in the green vest.
So who will your captain be with Tom Rockliff (MID, $574,000) and Patrick Dangerfield (MID, $637,000) having their bye?
The obvious answer is Gary Ablett (MID, $541,000) who hasn’t scored under 120 in his last four games. He plays the Saints at home, but Calvin isn’t convinced.
The self-proclaimed genius at picking captains, ranks Gaz as his third best option. So who takes the top two spots?
