After gathering round in Lair territory, it's time to prepare our SuperCoach teams for round 5 — another BEST 18 round — with The Phantom, Al Paton, and D̶o̶s̶ Phantom Junior! But how much trading can we do? Do we burn boosts or hold them for later? Should our strategies drastically change with 40 trades up our sleeves? There are plenty of questions in the Lair as the crew discuss a few different strategies.  Charlie Comden, Sam Clohesy, and Will Graham are on the rookie agenda, while Brodie Grundy could be on the chopping block. Last but not least, the first round of DPPs are looming, with Jason Horne-Francis a sneaky chance of FWD status! Join SuperCoach Plus for LIVE scores, breakevens, projected scores, and much more!
