The Corridor | AFL Supercoach Round 3, everything you need to know

In a week that had four teams on the bye and already had many managers scrambling to field a decent side, the Supercoach footy gods were definitely not on our sides.

The injury gods, to be exact, who appeared to cast a hamstring spell across the league this weekend, targeting some of the most highly-owned Supercoach players in the process.

Christian Petracca and Connor Rozee, to be exact.

Injuries aside, the Supercoach week was well and truly decided in the very last game of the round by Big X’s 199!!!

Congratulations to those who owned, and special congratulations to those who captained.

With so much injury carnage and rookie roulette in full swing, is it time to hit the trade boost button?

I think yes…

UPDATE: News has just come through that we have yet another victim of this week’s hamstring curse, none other than the most traded-in player this week, Milan Murdock. Most traded tables will be updated later in the week once managers react to the injury news.

AFL ROUND 2 RAPID RECAP

If you want an in-depth recap of round 2, make sure to check out Dylan Bolch’s weekly wrap, but in case you didn’t get to catch much footy in round 2, here is my rapid recap of the last week of footy:

Hawthorn fought past Sydney, with little Supercoach relevance from both sides. Grundy (135) bounced back, top-scoring.

The Dogs keep rolling, thanks once again to The Bont (141). English (114) solid again, so was Worrell (123).

Underwhelming scores all round as the Suns beat up Richmond. Petracca (86) hamstrung, Anderson (96) sub-par, and Grlj (43) ouch!

Premo defenders stand up as Saints just beat out GWS. Ash (130), Nas (122), and Sinclair (118) all looked the goods.

Gawn (141) proved he is still one of the best. Brayshaw (121) and Clark (119) bounced back. Jackson (113) stayed solid while Serong (68) flopped.

Butters (135) delivered for those who held faith and captained. Merrett (107) looked good again in a well-beaten side.

Tristan Xerri (199) went NUCLEAR, defining the Supercoach week. Sheezel (124) extremely solid, and so were popular West Coast cheapies Robertson (95) and Murdock (92).

AFL ROUND 3 PREVIEW

Round 3 will kick off at 7:30pm AEDT, Thursday, the 26th of March, with Geelong hosting Adelaide at GMHBA.

Once again, another four teams that played opening round will be on the bye this week: Hawthorn, Sydney, Bulldogs, and Gold Coast.

The matchup of the round would have to be Geelong vs Adelaide, as both teams would love a big statement win on Thursday night.

From a Supercoach perspective, Fremantle vs Richmond at Optus appears to be one to target.

Managers would also be backing their North premos to go well against a struggling Bombers side.

AFL SUPERCOACH BREAKEVENS

Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.

Price changes will occur after players have played three games, as they are based on a player’s 3-week average.

That means this week we will see price changes from players from the Hawks, Swans, Bulldogs, Suns, Giants, and Saints.

Nonetheless, going early on some of these other low-breakeven options could also be a move, although there is more risk involved in that.

Generally speaking, when looking at who to trade in, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they will help make your team money.

Similarly, if you have some players with high breakevens in your team, maybe it’s time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn’t lose too much value.
