Bye round D-Day, Sinclair replacements, and how many trades left? | The Phantom’s Lair

The hardest bye round is finally upon us, but thankfully, it’s also the last! As we enter Bye Round D-Day – with a stack of popular picks on the bye this week – we have more carnage to deal with. Jack Sinclair is the latest curve ball for SuperCoaches to navigate as he looks set to miss an extended period of time. The Phantom and Dossy enter the Lair to look at the best Sinclair replacements, top targets, and the final dual position players (DPPs) that will be added after round 17. Plus, all your favourite segments, including The Phantom’s Top Targets, Lair Mare of the Week, Unique Names with Five Names, and Rookies on the Bubble! NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to news that Tristan Xerri will MISS this week’s clash against Essendon. Xerri suffered a fractured jaw against Richmond that required surgery.  Latest SuperCoach news and trade advice: linktr.ee/supercoachafl  Watch on the CODE Sports YouTube channel!
