Rachele Has Averaged 99 This Season. Check the Match Margin Column.
The blowout scores are the headline. The 55 and 70 in close games are the verdict.
Josh Rachele is averaging 99.3 this cycle with a 59 BE. His last two scores — 86 and 85 — landed comfortably above his BE. The registry has said sell since round 7.
Here's what the 99.3 average isn't showing you.
Should I Trade Out Josh Rachele in Round 12 SuperCoach 2026?
Split Rachele's scores by match margin:
| Score | Margin | |-------|--------| | 127 (R3) | Adelaide won by 43 | | 127 (R5) | Adelaide won by 46 | | 86 (R9) | Adelaide won by 37 | | 85 (R10) | Adelaide won by 68 | | 70 (R8) | Adelaide won by 1 | | 68 (R6) | Adelaide won by 1 | | 55 (R7) | Adelaide lost by 52 |
Blowout games average 106. Close games average 64. His season average of 99.3 exists because four blowout wins inflated it.
When Adelaide play finals-quality opposition — which is what the back half of the fixture looks like — Rachele delivers the close-game version. That's a 64 average from a mid role that's been shrinking since round 5.
The Role That Shrank After Round 5
The back-to-back 127s were real. Rachele had genuine midfield time in rounds 3 and 5 — strong CBA share in Adelaide's best windows of the year. That version doesn't exist anymore.
Rankine returning to form and Soligo consolidating his mid spot has progressively cut Rachele's rotation. Cash gen has been flat or negative for five rounds running. His price has dropped from a $461k peak to $398k — a $63k fall with no sign of recovery — because the ceiling question now depends entirely on whether Adelaide keep winning by 40.
That's not a hold. That's a price trap built on blowout inflation.
Why the Round 12 Bye Is the Exit Window
Adelaide have round 12 off. The registry flagged the bye as the trade window — and this is why.
The coaches staying through the bye are looking at 99.3 and 59 BE and calling it a fine profile. They're not looking at the margin column.
Sell before the bye at $398k while the back-to-back 85s and 86s have reset the narrative in your league. The blowout premium is baked into his current price. It will not be there after the first close game of the back eight.
The 55 in a 52-point loss is the real Rachele right now. The 127s are the memory coaches are holding onto.
