More ruck woes, defender trades, possible DPPs, rookie crisis

from AFL Fantasy with The Traders · host AFL

Easter weekend saw lower scores than what was expected by a few, headlined by a few premiums not living up to their dollar value. Calvin's captains get a rocket, the new DPPs that will land next week are looked at, the sub rule is covered and trading strategy with a lack of rookies coming through is discussed. Episode guide 1:00 - It was a tough round with scores over 2000 being good ones. 4:00 - Calvin was happy with Warnie's phonecall telling him about Jarrod Witts being a late out and getting Tim English for 145. 8:50 - If you don't own Nick Daicos, playing against someone who does is a hard watch. 11:00 - Warnie gives his -3 to Ross Lyon for subbing his captain Rowan Marshall on 107. 13:45 - There was very little barking from James Sicily as he scored 18 points in the last three-quarters. 16:15 - The so-called pillars of strength in Sam Docherty, Rory Laird and Josh Dunkley are all dropping cash. 19:30 - A huge score by 'Scott Lucas' of 2317 won the week. 20:45 - Could the Michael Barlow Medal be renamed to the Harry Sheezel Medal? 22:20 - Toby Nankervis and Tom Lynch will miss a few weeks for the Tigers. 25:00 - Coaches have issues with how the sub rule is currently communicated. Could we see some change? 28:00 - Is Reuben Ginbey in line for a rest? 31:15 - What will we do with Will Day if he is suspended? 36:00 - It's apparently upgrade season, but we need rookies to make it happen! 42:15 - Jayden Hunt and Trent Rivers appear to be a couple of sub-$600k defenders worth looking at to help fix the crisis in the backline. 47:00 - Which players could we see gain DPP after round five? 51:30 - The Traders reveal their early trades. 52:15 - Questions from social media - follow @AFLFantasy on Twitter, @aflfantasy on Instagram and like the Official AFL Fantasy facebook page. 56:55 - Would you play an extra rookie on field to get James Worpel to Clayton Oliver? 1:00:30 - Do we have an issue with Nick Daicos this week against St Kilda? 1:04:40 - Is Darcy Tucker a mid-pricer worth looking at after playing his first full game?
