THE FINAL home and away round of the season means Fantasy Grand Final week for thousands of coaches in Classic and Draft … and the end of one of the most brutal seasons on record.

Forced trades have plagued coaches this season and the final two of the year will have at least one with Harry Sheezel following his cheekbone injury.

The Kangaroo is worth plenty of money, so who coaches can move him to shouldn't be a worry. Round 24 is all about trading into who coaches think will be the best in their final games of the season.

The Traders run through the best targets for the weekend, including Bradley Hill and Max Hall after thumping scores and a favourable match-up with Gold Coast on Thursday night. Geelong is playing Richmond and while Bailey Smith could be a captain option, maybe Ollie Dempsey or Shaun Mannagh may pop a Grand Final worthy score.

Plenty of questions are answered as The Traders help you get set for the Fantasy Grand Finals.
