Yep true. I'm trying to bring him in via a trade, it's so tempting.
If he gets the fwd flex it's a huge win.
Thought I'd write up some changes I'd expect from my personal team and see if anyone disagrees. Could be good to have a spreadsheet pinned with likely changes?
DEF
Hinge - gain MID
MID
Daicos - gain DEF
Horne-Francis/Macdonald - gain FWD
FWD
Butters/Martin - gain MID
Xerri - gain RUC
I'm most unsure about Horne-Francis and Macdonald because I haven't seen much of their games. Any insight from Norf/Hawks fans?

Does Daicos get defence? Seemed forward most of the game last week.
How many do we think they will give DPP too? I guess there has to be a limited number, because you could name heaps otherwise.
I mean Xerri FWD/RUCK biggest lock of all time first to be given DPP.

Titch forward eligible would be fecking sweet.
LOCKED IN
Tristan Xerri FWD to FWD/RUC
Another great score for Xerri in Round 3 as he had 25 hitouts and 11 disposals against the Lions. He attended 64 ruck contests and 23 centre bounces, almost double Todd Goldstein (11 CBAs and 33 contests) in both statistics. Xerri has fast become the first-choice ruckman at North Melbourne and jumped by almost $70k in price.
Mason Wood FWD to FWD/MID
Not exactly a household name when it comes to KFC SuperCoach, but Wood has enjoyed his best month of AFL playing in a wing role for St Kilda. It would be an almighty gamble to add him to your KFC SuperCoach team, but MID status is all but guaranteed based on where he’s spent large chunks of the opening three rounds.
Angus Brayshaw MID to MID/DEF
Take this one to the bank. After spending 75 per cent of game on a wing in 2021 and 11 per cent in defence, Brayshaw has played 100 per cent as a defender in the first three rounds. And he has adapted brilliantly to the new role, ranking fifth in the competition for disposals among general defenders, first for marks, first for uncontested possessions and second for intercept marks. Anyone who can score 176 points in a game – as Brayshaw did against the Bombers – is a player to keep an eye on.
Jack Sinclair DEF to DEF/MID
Sinclair’s flowing locks charging through the middle of Marvel Stadium have become a regular sight in 2022 as the Saints defender averaged 110 points over the first three rounds. He spent 85 per cent of game time down back last year but that number has dropped to 33 per cent, with a 59 per cent midfield and 8 per cent forward split making him a very relevant proposition.
MAYBE
Scott Pendlebury MID to DEF/MID
The Magpies skipper had a slight role change against the Cats, with his CBA numbers up from 10 and nine in the opening two rounds to 16. He’s still spent considerable time in defence in the first three rounds, but the shift back into the midfield was noticeable. It’s clear Craig Macrae wants his players to be versatile, which showed in his use of Pendlebury and Nick Daicos against Geelong. Don’t jump on Pendlebury before Round 6 in case his push back into the midfield continues. But, if he gains DPP, he’s well worth a look.
Nick Daicos MID to DEF/MID
Daicos impressed against Geelong, finishing with 26 disposals and a score of 91. His role changed from previous matches though, spending time at half-forward after starting on the bench. The Magpies father-son needs to spend about 35 per cent of game time in defence to be eligible for DEF status at Round 6. Daicos only had one disposal and two kick-outs in the defensive 50 against the Cats, so those KFC SuperCoaches banking on being able to use him as a defender come Round 6 might need to have a back-up plan. Daicos did his best work in the middle and at half-forward against the Cats.
Jason Horne-Francis MID to FWD/MID
The more we see of Horne-Francis, the more likely it seems David Noble wants to use him more in the middle for North Melbourne. Most of the No.1 draft pick’s 21 disposals against Brisbane were either in the middle, on the wing or in defence and he didn’t have one disposal inside the attacking-50. Horne-Francis registered 20 centre bounce attendances in a game which would have diminished the chances of him getting FWD status at Round 6. If he stays MID only it shouldn’t be a major issue with so many mid-price and rookie options emerging up forward.
Mitch Hinge DEF to DEF/MID
Hinge had nine of his 16 disposals against Port Adelaide between the 50m arcs, five in defensive-50 and two kick-outs. Hinge spent significant time in defence in Round 1 but has had a more advanced role in the past two matches for the Crows. If that continues in the next two rounds, he could pick up valuable DPP status. That would allow you to swing him with Nick Daicos, should Daicos become a DEF-MID. Hinge gaining DPP status would mean should Josh Rachele be in your midfield, you could trade him, swing Hinge to defence and grab a defender too. It would open up plenty of possibilities.
Tom Mitchell MID to MID/FWD
This would throw the Hawk among the pigeons. Mitchell’s scores have frustrated his owners so far this season but they can largely be attributed to a new role, with his centre bounce attendance dropping from 70 per cent to 58 per cent and his midfield/forward split evolving from 90/10 to 71/29. He would need a bit more time in front of goal in the next two rounds to become a DPP but he’s not far off. An ideal scenario would be picking up a cut-price Mitchell as a forward then hoping Sam Mitchell injects him back into the centre square as some of the Hawks youngsters start to tire.
Dayne Zorko MID to DEF/MID
Another game where Zorko spent considerable time in defence and after being a must-have FWD-MID last season he’s edging closer to DEF status. Zorko didn’t attend one centre bounce against North Melbourne and although many of his 28 disposals were between the arcs, his role suggests DEF status is incoming. If it doesn’t arrive in Round 6, it’s a big chance mid-season - albeit Chris Fagan said last week he wouldn’t commit to using Zorko in the backline long-term.
LONG SHOT
Andrew McGrath MID to DEF/MID
McGrath played more of a centre-bounce role without Zach Merrett as his CBAs increased from six in Round 2 to 22 against Melbourne. That was more than McGrath had in the opening two rounds combined, having registered 15 in Round 1. If McGrath continues to fill Merrett’s role while he’s out injured, the DEF DPP some were expecting will be unlikely come Round 6.
LOCKED IN
Tristan Xerri FWD to FWD/RUC
Another great score for Xerri in Round 3 as he had 25 hitouts and 11 disposals against the Lions. He attended 64 ruck contests and 23 centre bounces, almost double Todd Goldstein (11 CBAs and 33 contests) in both statistics. Xerri has fast become the first-choice ruckman at North Melbourne and jumped by almost $70k in price.

Angus Brayshaw could be an interesting Def choice
Ahh didn't get to see that game but makes sense based on the article. Hopefully he spends more time in defence for the next few rounds to lock it in more.

With Taylor Adams out I worry that he plays mid/fwd and ruins that chance of DPP

Macdonald has been playing off a half forward flank with some stints on the wing. He pushes up high so he may not have enough of a split to gain FWD status. Wingard out this week might see him play a little deeper
Would be nice, but I doubt it. He's a ball magnet who was a goal kicking machine in juniors. Pies aren't blessed with much depth really anywhere, so I don't think they can keep him out when he could be so much more damaging playing through the midfield and forward.

Ultimate Footy changes that came through today using roughly the same criteria. It should also be known that some players actually started with DPP this year compared to their SC positions, including Marshall being a R/F

Marshall going to get FWD DPP with Ryder playing (also dropping in price)
then when Ryder inevitably goes down, Marshall in the FWD line is eeeeeeasy 100s
Hopefully it's late in the year and most struggle to get him in, otherwise he'll be in every team
