THE TRADERS’ FANTASY CLASSIC STOCK MARKET

Stocks Up

Will Day (DEF, $768,000) hit the ground running on his return from suspension, slotting straight back into the midfield following two weeks off with a score of 100. He now has a three-game average of 109 and a BE of just 64 leading into a friendly match up against the Dockers and he should be a priority target. Ever reliable Cats defender Tom Stewart (DEF, $776,000) was at it again against the Bombers, completely controlling the game from the half-back line with 12 marks and 113. His ownership remains low for a player of his quality at 20 per cent and given his low price, it should make a spike this week with a BE of just 73 leading into a game down at the Cattery. If you are cash starved and want to remove a rookie off the ground, I have just the guy. When you talk high risk, high reward, none are better than Brayden Fiorini (MID, $559,000). The Suns whipping boy has shown throughout his career he is capable of scoring with the best when given the right role, unfortunately he also has the ability to be dropped after a seemingly solid performance. He scored an impressive 112 in the absence of Touk Miller on the weekend, albeit from the wing following an unpredictable drop in CBA from the previous week. He has a BE of just 31, which takes some of the risk out of it, but his match up against the Demons is far from ideal and again increases the risk.

Stocks Down

After an outstanding start to his Bomber career, former Blue Will Setterfield (MID, $787,000) had his first blip on his radar with a score of just 54 from 19 touches, two marks and a season-low one tackle. He now has a BE of 126 leading into a daunting match up with the Power at Adelaide Oval and it may be time to move him out for a top line premium. Unfortunately, his teammate Andrew McGrath (DEF, $662,000) is in the same boat with his coaches ready to pull the trigger on a trade. He has scored back-to-back 60s and is averaging well short of his pre-season projection, registering just 75 per game. He has a BE of 95 and as mentioned earlier, there will be no easy points up for grabs this week. As far as rookies go, there are a number of them with BEs that are surpassing their recent average and projected output. One of those is fan favourite Reuben Ginbey (MID/DEF, $482,000), who started the season on our grounds and in a blaze of glory with 92, 71 and 82 before the wear and tear of his bullocking style recently took its toll with a drop in output. He has a BE of 67 and a three-game average of 52 which suggests it’s a good time to sell high. In the same boat is impressive youngster Mattaes Phillipou (FWD/MID, $416,000) who now has a three-round average of 50, which matches his BE.
