The Corridor | AFL Supercoach Round 16, everything you need to know


<p>In case you didn&#8217;t get to catch much footy in round 15, here is my rapid recap of the last week of footy:</p>



<p>A thrilling game to start the week, with Freo keeping their winning streak alive against the Cats, led by none other than LJ (176) with a monster outing. For the Cats, it was once again Holmes (128) who stepped up.</p>



<p>An important win for the Hawks over the Suns, led by Newcombe (123) and Day (108) in the middle. Anderson (136) was impressive once again while Jeffrey (123) also scored well.</p>



<p>A monster score from Keane (133) in his first game of the season, as the Crows tallied another win. For the Dees, it was Gawn (140) once again leading the way.</p>

<p>Another big win for the Blues, led by the boys in the middle in Hewett (138), Cripps (117), and Walsh (112). For the Giants, it was Ash (113) who led the scoring.</p>



<p>The Pies put together a solid win, led by their starboy in Naicos (139), while Howe (133) and De Goey (133) also put in big scores. For Port, the big dogs stepped up, with Hornet (128) and Butters both scoring solidly.</p>



<p>A win is a win for North, as they got the win up against Richmond. Sheezel (153) put together another monster score while Daniel (149) and Parker (131) also delivered off halfback. For the Tigers, Brown (101) was the only one to reach triple figures.</p>



<p>A very important win for the Dogs to round out the weekend, of course led by the Bont (142). Despite the defeat, many Saints scored well, including Nas (144) and Wilkie (130).</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>AFL SUPERCOACH BREAKEVENS</strong></h3>



<p>Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.</p>



<p>Price changes will occur after players have played three games, as they are based on a player&#8217;s 3-week average.</p>



<p>Generally speaking, when looking at who to trade in, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they will help make your team money.</p>



<p>Similarly, if you have some players with high breakevens in your team, maybe it’s time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn’t lose too much value.</p>
