Luke Pedlar is a Port Adelaide player. Here’s what the trade means for AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach in 2027.
Pedlar has crossed from the Crows to Alberton, and the showdowns just got spicier. He’s a first round pick from the 2020 draft who’s played 23 games in three seasons and never more than 10 in a year. Injuries have crushed him. The talent hasn’t gone anywhere.
Port’s midfield is wide open with Butters gone. It’s Horne-Francis’s midfield now, and I run through who fits around him: Rozee, Jase Burgoyne, Richards, Bergman & Berry. Then the real question. Has Pedlar been sold an inside mid role, or the same pressure forward gig he had at Adelaide?
For fantasy, he’s coming off a mid-40s average with a discount on top and forward status. If he’s fit and running through the midfield this preseason, you’ve got a high-30s to low-40s priced forward who can sit at F4, score 70s and 80s, and make you cash. Two ifs. Both worth watching.
