Another week, another lot of Best Buys. Its a real shame Ballantyne is coming in now, as all trades from here on in should be reserved for upgrades or replacing injured players, like Ziebell. Still, there are some great options to look at.

Defenders

Rookies
<ol>
,<li>C Pearce, 83400</li>
,<li>M Hurley, 154200</li>
,<li>M Maguire, 162900</li>
</ol>
Pearce the only option here, though you would have to think Maguire and Hurley are close to games.

Midrange
<ol>
,<li>S Gilbert, 410300</li>
,<li>L Hodge, 430200</li>
,<li>T Thurstans, 410100</li>
</ol>
Hodge is a star, but still has some falling to do. I have a feeling Ill be laughedat for Thurstans, but hes averaging 100 in the Chad Cornes role and may end up being similar to Nick Maxwell. If you missed out on Gilbert before, get on now.(look at the Saints run home!) Also look at Lake, Milburn, Ellis, Pratt and Broughton.

Premium
<ol>
,<li>S Fisher, 453200</li>
,<li>N Bock, 481300</li>
,<li>B Goddard, 539800</li>
</ol>
Probably better looking at the midrangers. Fisher is cheap, but Gilbert is better, while Goddard and Bock are super defenders to own, although Hodge may end up scoring more in the next few weeks.

Midfielders

Rookies
<ol>
,<li>T Swift, 107400</li>
,<li>J Davenport, 94200</li>
,<li>L Anthony, 94200</li>
</ol>
Stay away until Anthony gets a game. At least Swift is getting a game, though e should be dropped.

Midrangers
<ol>
,<li>B Stanton 422300</li>
,<li>D Kerr 329300</li>
,<li>B Muston, 206600</li>
</ol>
Surprisingly few options. Kerr is a smokey, while Muston has a lot of upside to him still.

Premiums
<ol>
,<li>N Dal Santo, 552200</li>
,<li>D Cross, 470800</li>
,<li>L Davis, 550000</li>
</ol>
Guns! How did Cross get so cheap, while Dal Santo and Davis could be options for replacing Pendlebury (should probably hold onto him though). Also look at Crossys partner in crime Matthew Boyd at 456000, and Luke Power at 480900 is another good bet.

Rucks

Rookies
<ol>
,<li>N Naitanui, 169200</li>
,<li>B McEvoy, 148700</li>
,<li>M Pyke, 83400</li>
</ol>
Nic Nats the perfect reserve for Dean Cox- and he looks like a great player too! Ignore the other two unless you are really strapped for cash.

Midrangers
<ol>
,<li>D Jolly, 438600</li>
,<li>J Fraser, 436000</li>
,<li>M Kreuzer, 393800</li>
</ol>
Nobody in their right mind should trade Cox, so these should really be ignored too...

Premiums
<ol>
,<li>A Sandilands, 536200</li>
,<li>H McIntosh, 454800</li>
,<li>D Petrie, 489700</li>
</ol>
Jollys your man.

Forwards

Rookies
<ol>
,<li>L Jurrah, 144200</li>
,<li>J Watts, 174200</li>
,<li>H Balllantyne, 94200</li>
</ol>
Imagine Melbournes foward line in a few years; Watts, Jurrah and Butcher (possibly). Jurrah looks better than Watts at the moment, though Watts may explode yet. Both should get games at least. We should all wait a couple of weeks on Ballantyne, although Ill be jumping on if he scores 100 on debut

Midrangers
<ol>
,<li>J Brown, 440400</li>
,<li>J Akermanis, 391200</li>
,<li>T Cloke,  269300</li>
</ol>
Get on Brown while you still can. Aker is averaging the most for his price, while Cloke is a risky option if you want to do a straight swap with Ziebell. Keep an eye on how Patrick Veszpremi performs on the weekend too. Franklin should be avoided for a couple more weeks(wait until he looks like a player again).

Premiums
<ol>
,<li>Aaron Davey, 466500</li>
,<li>Steve Johnson, 487700</li>
,<li>M Pavlich, 507300</li>
</ol>
All 3 of these are averaging over 100, and are great options. Pavlich is at an extremely low price, while Davey and Johnson are simply awesome in Supercoach and to watch.

Good luck everyone!
