MORE than 57 per cent of AFL Fantasy Classic coaches own Lachie Whitfield making him the most selected premium forward.
After posting modest scores of 68 and 67 in the first two rounds, concussion ended his night with just 10 points to his name. As a result, he dropped a further $78,000 to take his season price change to -$116,000, the most in the competition.
Whitfield is still priced as the most expensive forward at $728,000, equal to Dustin Martin and $1,000 more than the in-form Michael Walters.
Making some cash out of trades in a popular strategy and The Traders suggest a move to Chad Wingard or Jy Simpkin, who are both averaging 86, is on the cards. The latter’s three per cent ownership is set to soar following his 96 on the weekend.
Roy, Calvin and Warnie discuss the big issues out of the weekend – including the postponed Essendon v Melbourne game – and look ahead they may use their three trades in round four.
