Yeah, I can't see much either.
Here is a brief story on his team, but not a lot of analysis into trading patterns, except to say in January he didn’t give sh!t what his team looked like

Here is my take on his team, starting with his final team and total and avg player rankings respectively. Just remember that this team could have nearly been beaten by a zombie team and was comprehensively flogged by an ex post mid priced madness team.
Def
Lloyd (1, 1)
Yeo (2, 3)
Simmo (3, 5)
Laird (4, 2)
Crisp (6, 9)
Hurley (14, 13)
(Had Sicily, obviously trade) (x/4 avg 105)
Mid
Danger 3, 3
Titch 1, 1
Macrae 6, 2
Neale 8, 5
Cripps 2, 4
Oliver 4, 5
Coniglio 9, 10
MCrouch 58, 27 (only played 18 games, 101 avg),
Ruc
Grundy 1, 1
Gawn 2, 2
Fwd
Westhoff 1, 4
Smith* 3, 7
Hawkins (last rnd) (was McLean) 9, 3 (6, 15)
Buddy (20, 5) only played 18 games
Heeney (7, 9)
Wingard (15, 23)
Gray (10, 10)
So as you can see across def, mid, ruck where the largest differences between the top end and rest are, he had nearly everyone you’d want. In the forward line, where things are lot closer (only 10ppg, between Siciliy 105 ppg, and #15Toby McClean 95ppg), he still had a good selection.
The difference ppg in not having the top forwards didn’t hurt so much because compared the mids, where holding #15 means Callan Ward who was a full 11 ppg below #5 Oliver and 25ppg below Titch.
I would suspect he started Cogniclio which at 108avg was an absolute steal, although high ownership. Macrae ownership was lower. Neal ownership was super low 11.5%. Hawkins ownership 3.4% (and doesn’t look like much more this year). Ruck only ¼ of teams ended with Grundy. He did well to get Lloyd in at the right time. Even in the forward line a lot to the top avg players only had 30% ownership, he had good selection of them.
So looks like he let his rookies fatten, something I sometimes struggle with and went to 23 premiums, which does give some good cover/loophole opportunities. Looks like a mid/fwd cover swing set at the end, although he may have a Fwd / Def as well until Siciliy went down. No R/F swing and both rucks played 22 games #50klucky.
