What is Darragh Joyce's SuperCoach breakeven?

Darragh Joyce's breakeven is 18. The current average of 58 sits 40 points above breakeven, so the price is rising.

Should I trade Darragh Joyce in SuperCoach 2026?

The answer depends on your team — your cash, your byes, and what the upgrade target looks like. The dedicated Should I Trade Darragh Joyce breakdown weighs form, breakeven, and a comparable replacement side-by-side.

Should I trade out Joyce this week given he is likely to be dropped with Gallop and Gardiner returning to Brisbane?

Trade Joyce out now, upgrade to a premo. Joyce is almost certain to be dropped as Gallop and Gardiner return to Brisbane, meaning he is no longer generating cash. With 450k sitting idle, the community consensus is to move him immediately and deploy that cash into a premium upgrade rather than holding a player who will not be named.

Will Darragh Joyce hold his spot in Brisbane's AFL team this week?

Expect Joyce to be dropped this week. Multiple commenters predict Joyce gets dropped, citing the return of Gallop (concussion) and Gardiner. His career history of never playing more than 6 games in a season reinforces his low job security. The Lions sub consensus aligns — not a viable SC hold.

Joyce scored 59 vs Carlton — 41 above his $119.9k BE, the kind of score that makes you want to hold. Do not. The word is Gallop is coming back from concussion and Gardiner is also returning, which leaves Joyce fighting for his spot against two established Brisbane defenders. Job security is near-zero heading into R10. One good score in a game he was probably auditioning for does not change the selection math. Move on now while the score gives you a talking point.
