Summary
Patrick Retschko headlines the week as one of the most important waiver wire moves, backing up his role change with another strong score across halfback. With Richmond committing to that setup and opportunity opening up, this looks like more than a one-week spike — and the competition is starting to react. Lincoln McCarthy might be the biggest role shift of the round. A move to half back completely flipped his scoring profile, piling on disposals and marks in a way we haven’t seen before. The big question now is whether Brisbane sticks with it, because if they do, this changes everything for his value. Hugo Garcia has officially arrived as a genuine 2G4P option. The CBAs are there, the confidence is growing, and he’s now producing like a legitimate midfield contributor rather than a fringe piece. This feels like a proper breakout moment rather than a flash in the pan. Christian Moraes is another one turning heads, stepping into a wing role and delivering immediately. After strong SANFL form, he looks like he belongs at the level and fills a need Port have clearly been searching for. There’s real upside here if the role holds. Across the board, there are plenty of emerging names putting their hand up — but as always, it’s about working out what’s sustainable and what’s matchup or role-dependent noise. If you're playing draft and keeper leagues, this episode is packed with the insights you need to stay ahead of the curve.
