AFL Fantasy with The Traders

It was supposed to be the easy bye round and for those who pulled together scores of 200-plus, it was... but for others - ie. Roy, Calvin and Warnie - rankings plummeted. Warnie picked up Daniel Rich and hilarity ensues. Roy offers up his round 14 trade advice while Calvin is doing some soul searching after a poor week of captain selection.
