And reading though the comments in the last post, it has occured to me that I assume intrinsically, that you all know the same things about this game as I do.
This however, isnt the case.
As such, Im going to get going on a series of articles to teach you everything you *should* know about this game.
From trading tips to gun/rookie selection tips and through to general concepts and how they relate to any overarching strategies.
Should be fun.
(Oh, and there will be an upcoming post on the Best and Fairest award. Dont forget! Its the last week to get your picks in!)
Cheers guys.

Now the season starts properly with head to head match ups! For some reason, Im playing Sheedy in all 3 of my leagues first up-pencil in a win for me!
So how is everyone else doing?

Those of you loyal fans that are back after last year will remember Dogs Best Buys, well in 2009 it is back. Not yet, though. But here is a teaser.

Get that good stuff ready for Hodge and Riewoldt after their drops of $60,000, they whacked on a reasonable score this week meaning their breakeven are still high but reachable at 161 for Hodge and 154 for Roo. Expected another one or two reasonable drops and then hit the trade button.
A few that are still along way off their lowest price are Black with a breakeven of 225, Power with 191 and Cooney at 190 after an already massive $64,700 price drop.
Harvey has had the biggest drop of the week, and has continued to score poorly. His breakevn of 187 means he might be a straight swap for Skipworth or Higgins in the near future.
Also, keep a watch on Bartel (breakeven: 169), Buddy (183) and Pavlich (135) who should all continue dropping in price. In the ruck watch Hille (109) and Petrie (124) as they have had small drops and all it will take is one really bad week and we could see those with a poor 2nd ruck jump on at a bargain price.

This is really the last week for you to finish your team before prices really kick in, taking players beyond reach. A lot of the players I mentioned in last weeks bargains have not yet maxed out, so for players like Krakouer, Rich, Dangerfield and Gilbert still at achievable prices with lots of upside. Despite this, there are a few more bargains who have only played 2 games to find a place on your bench for.
Dayne Beams, Collingwood, Midfielder, $94,200, Breakeven -84
The Magpie with the tattoos has scored reasonably well, and history tells us that when Mick picks a youngster he gives them a fair go (think Anthony, Clarke, Wellingham and Brown). The Pies need inside midfielders so he should get a good run.
David Zaharakis, Essendon, Midfield, $94,200, BE -97
Another classy midfielder, this one is more a wingman though. The round 2 rising star should hold his place due to Essendons need to blood the kids, but may find his TOG cut by the returns of McVeigh, Welsh, Prismall and maybe even Lonergan and Houli.
Liam Picken, Western Bulldogs, Midfield, $83,400, BE -53
Definitely not my first picked, but seems to have locked his spot in with excellent tagging performances on Brent Harvey and Brett Deledio.
Darcy Daniher, Essendon,Forward, $138,200, BE -60
Scoring reasonably well from full back, however i doubt hell be in the side when Hurley returns. Frankly, he looked terrible on Fevola on the weekend and only Fevs kicking saved him from an absolute mauling.
Alex Rance, Richmond, Defence, $94,200, BE -80
Performed reasonably well in the last two games for the Tigers, at this stage I think he may be better value than Cheney was last week. Provides some flair and shuts down his opponent, the Tigers would be mad to drop him.
Knightys top picks:
Unless you have an injury, you should probably be saving your trades for upgrades and cashing in your rookies later on, not to mention more...

A mammoth round, with the usual par score of 2200, being pushed up to 2300. Chapman (160), Goddard (175), Drummond (164), Cornes (126), Higgins (124), Haselby (131), Ablett (150), Montanga (174), Dal Santo (135), Gilbert (130) and finally Jolly (131) are the reason why the scores were so big.
So were you a Happy Chappy or are you going to Tuck that score away and move on to next week?

Well, happy easter all!
Hows our round threes treating us all?
Ablett as captain, Bartel, Chapstick, Selwood and Thomas have all given me a very early Easter pressy... Well, not thomas. He bought me an egg, but then butchered it...
So, hows everyone else going?

Just a quick little thought Ive been thinking.
You know how lockout this week is 160 minutes after the teams are announced?
And how many, many teams are going to be trading to jump on the right rookies?
And how the server started choking a lunchtime on that fateful round one lockout?
What do you reckon the odds are of things going pear shaped?
I for one am going to have my captain selections and emergencies all set up today.
Cause damn, if it does go down, theres going to be some disasterous outcomes for teams...

There isnt much to talk about in the rucks, unless youre after a replacement for Brad Ottens. Dont forget to get Dean Cox if you havent already got him.Hes expensive, but hes worth it.
· Hamish McIntosh, NM, $335,300 (BE -51) Can you believe Laidley considered trading this bloke? Averaging 120, McIntosh is the perfect replacement for all you Brad Ottens owners.
· Jessie White, Sydney, $126,500 (BE -71) Like his partner in crime Darren Jolly, White had a day out against the undermanned Hawk, collecting 103 points. Don’t expect that again, but you could do worse than stick him on the bench.
· Justin Koschitzke, St Kilda, $422,200 (BE -21) Has been brilliant, averaging 128 points; however he has a history of inconsistency. Might be better to go for Jolly or Fraser, who are around the same price range instead.
Knightys’ top picks:
The only reason you could have for trading your rucks this week is Brad Ottens, in which case McIntosh is your man.

While Im sure most of you would assume that with a title like that, ts post would be about the 4 week Chris Knights injury.
You could be further from the truth. What its actually about is the announcement of a new poster in these parts.
Knighty mate, welcome aboard. We wanna see some good clean posting.
Nothing below the belt- well, maybe if the refs arent looking... (Watch out for parasite- hell kick you in the groin three times before you hit the ground!)
Now, back to your corner and come out swinging.
*ding ding*
