Some especially astute coaches also grabbed a triple figure score from Greg Clark on debut. Fresh off the final game, we're ready to look at the weekend that was and make some rage trades.

We're five rounds down and the teams at the top are looking pretty good ... while we try to play catch up! It's time to start making your move with some upgrades and downgrades which can be helped by the new DPPs that have dropped in the game. There's plenty to get through as there are more heads on the copping block than points that bloody Sicily scored in the first quarter.

What an eventful round! After almost 23,000 coaches brought in Braydon Preuss, the 19% that are starting him on field will have to work out what they’re doing with the big fella out suspended for round five. Add to this, Patrick Cripps’ hammy saw him subbed out to end the round that many would like to forget … but not Calvin. He’s flying high and as a result, he’s putting in more work than ever! Let's do this!
