We're heading into preliminary final week for AFL Fantasy, but the semi-finals was full of some ups and downs including who coaches traded in and out. Zach Merrett was traded out by more than 3,000 coaches in anticipation of the Oisin Mullin tag. He dropped 132 on the heads of coaches who moved him on. On the flipside, anyone who traded him to Lachie Ash lost 103 points as the Giant scored 29. The Traders help you get set for a big weekend, the penultimate round of Fantasy footy.
