BRODIE GRUNDY’S neck injury on the eve of the byes couldn’t have come at a worse time. Most Fantasy Classic coaches towards the top traded him and now the challenge is to get him back.
Those who held Grundy and covered with a bench ruck will have the last laugh as finding the $791k asking price will require some thrifty trading to get the best ruck in the game.
Maybe it’s just trading the ‘loan’ players in Sean Darcy or Reilly O’Brien? Or, sensibly, it’s a (hefty) rookie upgrade. Possibly some will look to make some slight adjustments to players who they anticipated being keepers.
Calvin and Warnie chat through the options as well as other trade targets in the latest episode of the Official AFL Fantasy Podcast thank to Sportsbet.
