<p style='margin-bottom: 0pt; background: #fcfcfc;][span style='color: #444444;]Round 5 saw some familiar names regaining confidence and a bit of form. They were led by Dangerfield who scored a career high 192 SC points from 33 disposals and 5 goals. Ablett continued his great season with 161 whilst Sidebottom scored the third highest score for the round with 155. Marc Murphy managed his highest score since 2012 with 153 whilst Tom Hawkins continued his great run against Hawthorn with five goals and 148 SC points. The rest of the top ten were Jamie Elliott with 145, Josh P. Kennedy with 144, Steve Johnson with 141 and Leigh Montagna and Nathan Jones (both with 140).

In a very even performance, 13 Collingwood players scored over 90 (whilst only 3 Essendon players could do the same).

Once again the Best Buys is here for your SuperCoach trading needs, and after the success of the Faz last week we're going a little more left-field with some of the selections.

Pumping out a 130+, and almost making up for the earlier Mumford selection, Fasolo did us proud and hopefully bought in a boatload of cash for many of you.

This week, we're going with none other than Nathan Jones. The Demons co-captain has really stood up this season, benefiting from increased support from his teammates, new and old, and showing why he is such a fan favourite in Demonland. 3 scores so far over 130, albeit with a tendency to struggle from time to time when tagged, Jones is excellently priced and in great form early on as well as being a certain POD. Playing Sydney this weekend will likely see Jones in another run-with role, and luckily that's where he scores the majority of his points. Many coaches will overlook Jones simply for the colour of his guernsey, but if we've learnt anything in the last few years of SC it's that champions of the game seldom need to be in a winning side to score well.


DEFENSE
ROOKIES





Tom Cutler (BRI) DEF 117.3k 54 +40k

Cutler was a popular pre-season pick this year, before having a set-back or two and starting the season in the reserves. This brings him onto the bubble in time for round 6 and the possibility of some downgrade/upgrade action. Averaging 54 from his first 2 matches and looking at a 40 grand price rise, Cutler could well make his way back into a fair chunk of sides this week.



Jason Ashby (ESS) DEF 152.8k 47 +24k
Ashby has gone under the radar a fair bit, not getting much attention from anywhere really but still managing a 47 average over his first 3 games. He's had his first price rise now, but one only amounting to around 30k, so he remains in contention for a few sides looking for a defensive slow burner.

Woah, you go away for one little weekend and all hell breaks loose.

Collingwood and Sydney both pick up wins while the Sainters put in a fantastic win (For them) and the Blues get themselves off the bottom.

Seriously, would love to know the tipping from this weekend.

On the fantasy front, Gaz and Murphs. Love your stuff fellas. Cloke- already traded your ass.

Dangerfield, I love you. I hope that nobody traded you last week, and Mike Pyke. I mocked people this week because I didn't have Mumford, I had you. Thanks mate.

2250 though, not too shabby. 2190 in DT and a 2258 in AFLFantasy (Which was enough to get me back in the top 1000. Woo.)




How did you guys go?

Remember peeps, we have a game on tonight, meaning we get captain loopholes in the non-Supercoach games.

Rolling back trades however, get locked in tonight in the VS games. Allegedly though, AFLFantasy will be allowing said rolling back of trades (Assuming they don't involve tonights teams) - and hopefully they have their teething issues behind them by now.

Anyways, teams.

What else will be learn on this fine round 5?
Don't forget, check your byes when trading and good luck!
Me, I'm going away camping with the kids for the weekend, so if it all breaks, someone sms me!
peace out.

While the cows haven't come home yet, the moo-factor can now come into play, so I expect to see more 'GnR' down/upgrades in the coming weeks as opposed to the mid-priced sideways trading that has been on the menu in the first rounds.
That only leaves the total trades limit (thirty) as the last rule to come into play, but that won't be until round 14. Until that time the model should max out the number of trades per round (two; three for the bye rounds) to maximise the total score season to date.
After a series of serious misfires of the big gun, here we go.

After a shocking round for rucks last week, including the previous Best Buy not even playing but instead opting for minor surgery, many coaches are left wondering how it all could have gone so wrong. Unfortunately there aren't a whole heap of viable options in the ruck, but there are a few sneaky POD's worth a look and as always plenty of other in form choices from around the ground for those that avoided the bullets.

The Best Buy for this week, is Alex Fasolo. Still an untried selection in many respects, after a change of role and new team set-up, but going by early form and price along with the lack of forwards performing he is a stand-out early on. Now playing in a half-back kind of position he has license to run and carry, and while he hasn't been amazing he has certainly provided the Pies with some solid rebound from defence so far. Cheap as chips and locked into the 22, for now at least, Fasolo will be a very popular pick this week I'd think.
<div>


On a side note, there was some discussion last week around including a list of cheap players who were still viable cash-cow options, but there really aren't any of them around this week except for those already in the Best Buys so that one will have to stay on the back-burner for now. Keep an eye out in coming weeks though.


DEFENSE
ROOKIES





Jason Ashby (ESS) DEF 123.9k 49 +31k

Ashby is on the bubble at Bomberland this week, but after a poor showing from Essendon against the Dockers there may be a few changes at the selection table. Averaging 49 and looking at a 30 grand price rise after his next game Ashby is the only defensive rookie to really be worth a look this week.

MID-PRICERS





Matthew Jaensch (ADE) DEF 414.1k 109

So far this year Jaensch has been a very astute pick for the now 25,000 odd coaches with him in their side. He is averaging 109 and facing a 35 grand price rise this week, so expect him to continue finding his way into various sides...
