Top SuperCoach mid-season draft prospects
Al Paton and Tim Michell rate the SuperCoach potential of every mid-season draftee
If you’ve managed to dodge the carnage, injuries and selection dilemmas so far this season — well done. But it could be about to come to a screeching halt.
It’s time to dust off that trade button, throw caution to the wind and exercise those carefully planned strategies across the byes.
The SuperCoach Investor, Daniel Begala, shares his final thoughts on the best way to tackle the rollercoaster of emotions that is the bye rounds (Rounds 12-14).
“P” IS FOR PREPARATION
We’re about to embark on the most challenging period of the SuperCoach season, I’m not going to lie.
It’s going to test you, it always does.
Some dedicated SuperCoaches have fastidiously prepared for the byes. They’ve dotted their “I’s”, crossed their “T’s” and filled out their Excel spreadsheets.
But if you’ve had your head in the sand most of the season, don’t despair, as you’ll be equipped with an additional three trades each round across the byes.
Use them wisely, but don’t be afraid to use them frivolously as you should be launching from the byes with a team close to full premium, if not complete with superstars in every on-field position.
My team, The Begala Brigade, is looking severely depleted in Round 13 so every trade I perform from here on in must be made with a mind to boosting my playing stocks that week as I have zero tolerance for doughnuts.
ROUND 12
Most teams, including mine, will be well stocked with players available in Round 12.
That being said, it’s integral that you use Round 12 (and 11) to fill your side with players to cover the round where you perceive yourself weakest.
I will initially be focusing my attention on acquiring the fallen premiums and rookies from teams that boast the Round 14 bye — Adelaide, Carlton, GWS, Gold Coast, North Melbourne and Richmond.
Atop my wish list are Jeremy Cameron ($469K, break even 74), Bachar Houli ($504K, BE 56), Josh Kelly ($646K, BE 105) and Rory Sloane ($584K, BE 83), who will provide coverage across Rounds 12 and 13, where I foresee my greatest vulnerability.
It’s the perfect time to trade in GWS stars like Jeremy Cameron.
He hasn’t been mentioned above, but the most popular trade target this week must be Lachie Whitfield if you’re in the market for a gun defender.
The Giants running machine has bottomed out at $556K and shapes as the perfect upgrade candidate for Jack Scrimshaw, who is expected to spend an extended period of time on the sidelines.
I’ve focused on Round 14 trade targets as it guarantees three key things:
SCORING protection at my weakest bye (Round 13);
CONTINUED premium scoring across Rounds 11, 12 and 13; and
CONFIDENCE that I will be able to trade myself to a full squad by Round 14 using the generous gift that is additional trades (three per week).
ROUND 13
This is where it’s expected to be tricky.
We’ll be operating on the smell of an oily rag, buy hey; at least we’ll have trades.
Your focus this week should on acquiring any rookies or targeted premiums that have already served their byes in Round 12. Here’s how:
Step 1: Log into SuperCoach.
Step 2: Filter all players.
Step 3: Sort by average.
Step 4: Select ESS, FRE, HAW, PORT, STK, WBD.
Voila, it’s a simple as that!
There you will find a list of refreshed and recharged stars chomping at the bit to join your side including Marcus Bontempelli, Jack Macrae, Nat Fyfe, Travis Boak, Luke Ryan and Zach Merrett – to name a few.
Zach Merrett will be a top trade target after Essendon’s Round 12 bye.
He’s not exactly a household name yet, but rookie Brett Bewley could be another trade target for Round 13, as he’ll create some much-needed liquidity.
ROUND 14
The finish line is in sight, but it’s time for one last sprint.
You’ll need to pull the trigger on three trades and hopefully finalise the SuperCoach masterpiece that will guide you towards the rankings and league promised land.
It’s not rocket science, but you’ll need to pivot your attention to any stars and rookies that have served their byes across Rounds 12 and 13.

Lachie Neale is the final piece of my midfield puzzle and he’ll be ripe for the picking at Round 14 – FINALLY – with his price estimated to be a smidgen below $600K.
So if you’re among the 60 per cent of non-Neale owners, it’s integral that you keep the door ajar at M8 and reserve a spot for the scoring juggernaut that is lil’ Lachie.
Round 14 will also serve as the perfect time to pick up the likes of Shannon Hurn, who has rocketed to the top of the defensive rankings following a string of monster performances.
If you play your cards right, your side should be filled with 22 absolute stars once play resumes on the regular game play in Round 15.
Trade hard. Trade well. All the best!
