Ziebell Out For Two Months... Sell!

Super North Melbourne rookie forward/midfielder Jack Ziebell will be out of action for between 6-10 weeks after breaking his leg in Sunday's game against Adelaide.The Kangaroos confirmed in a statement on Monday night, Ziebell had a fractured fibula meaning he'll be out for about 2 months.Almost 90,000 DT coaches own Ziebell but that diagnosis means it is time to sell the young star.Ziebell scored 23 against the Crows, meaning his value will drop $26k and thus his sale price will be $246k which is still quite handy.In other North Melbourne injury news, the Kangaroos rated forward Lindsay Thomas will face 2-3 weeks on the sidelines after straining...

DT Round 12 (Split-Round) Movers & Shakers

As per usual, we'll do this week's edition chronologically, but with only five of the eight matches played it'll be a shorter segment today. Also cos the new DT prices aren't officially in, these are estimates from fanfooty.com.au but typically they'll be spot on.For St Kilda, midfielder Nick Dal Santo's value is soaring following a score of 111 which takes him up $17.5k to $385k. Probably not the time to sign him unless you've got cash to burn.On the other hand, popular DT defender Brendon Goddard's price is sliding and he'll get cheaper next round at least, despite also posting 111 against the Blues. Goddard is down $9.5k to $406k and has a...
