SuperCoach AFL Round 18

Jimmy Bartel (81, 112 & 123) is super cheap & rising. The major concern is the Round 22 Bye for Geelong. The SuperCoach team would need to be assured of top 4 finish & Round 21 win to place him in without headaches.

Chris Newman (79, 116 & 154) is also below price. No similar concerns about picking him pre-finals. (Round 19 bye for Richmond - falls in the last non-competition week)

Luke Hodge (114, 142 & 163) is in peak form & should definitely be considered.

Leigh Montagna (97, 95 & 154) is the last of the premiums on a big price rise this week.

Bargain basements players are still worth a look in. To fill up bench/emergency spots for the finals & to gain cash from selling players who would otherwise fill these spots.

Daniel Talia (92 & 81) is gathering cheap possessions in the Adelaide backline. As a bonus, he is dual position to boot. Rory Thompson (88 & 53) is an easy cash-in for a ruckman.
