Connor Rozze‘s hamstring will be an issue for his coaches ahead of Thursday night’s Showdown. St Kilda has a couple of banged up players in Jack Steele and Rowan Marshall. There were some role changes that will need monitoring. Tom Powell was bumped out of the Roos’ midfield while Dayne Zorko played a mix of roles.

The forward line has provided a big talking point this season with the lack of stars. The Traders chat through the best options and consider Dylan Moore and Gryan Miers as viable targets.

Roy, Calvin and Warnie answer plenty of your questions in this bumper episode of the Official AFL Fantasy Podcast.
