More best buys for people who need to trade. Once again, Im going to stress-I think you need at least 3 trades for finals, preferably 4. On the other hand, Adcock and Cox are looking certain to be traded from a lot of sides, while there are a couple of other bargains around.

Defenders

Rookie
<ol>
,<li>Michael Hurley (154,200)</li>
,<li>Jayden Post (94,200)</li>
,<li>Adam Hartlett (165,500)</li>
</ol>
Hurley by far the best option here-hes a star.(only a little biased) Post has also been impressive for the Tigers.

Midrangers
<ol>
,<li>Tarkyn Lockyer (431,900)</li>
,<li>Sam Fisher(384,800)</li>
,<li>Lindsay Gilbee (420,000)</li>
</ol>
Lockyer has been a defensive star this year, while Fisher has got to come good sometime. Also do not pick Toby Thurstans-with Cornes back in the side he will fall.

Premiums
<ol>
,<li>Josh Drummond (457,900)</li>
,<li>Luke Hodge (494,800)</li>
,<li>Brendan Goddard(543,900)</li>
</ol>
All Adcock owners will be strongly considering bringing Drummond in (bargain anyone?), while Hodge and Goddard will bring in big scores for finals.

Midfielders

Rookie
<ol>
,<li>Leigh Adams (94,200)</li>
,<li>Pat McGinnity (94200)</li>
,<li>Michael Walters (94200)</li>
</ol>
Adams was good on debut and the Roos will play the kids, but dont pay any more attention here.

Midrangers
<ol>
,<li>Scott Pendlebury (401,200)</li>
,<li>Steven Salopek (385,100)</li>
,<li>Jason Winderlich (448,300)</li>
</ol>
Pendlebury is one of the biggest bargains of the year-he was leading the points board at one point! Salopek and Winderlich are looking good after returning from injury.

Premiums
<ol>
,<li>Leon Davis (496,900)</li>
,<li>Adam Goodes (529,400)</li>
,<li>Matthew Boyd (471,200)</li>
</ol>
All are stars here who will deliver in finals. Also look at Hodge, and Bartel in a couple of weeks is looking juicy for finals introduction.

Rucks

Rookies
<ol>
,<li>Mike Pyke (117,300)</li>
,<li>Zac Clarke (129200)</li>
,<li>Nick Naitanui (194,300)</li>
</ol>
At least theyll play.

Midrangers
<ol>
,<li>Hamish McIntosh (405,000)</li>
,<li>Matthew Kreuzer (372,300)</li>
,<li>Josh Fraser (448,600)</li>
,<li>Mark Jamar (350,400)</li>
</ol>
A very controversial selection here, and because of the Cox problem Ive included 4. I think Fraser and H Mac have the runs on the board to be considered, while Jamar can only be picked if you have the trades left to exploit his lower price. Kreuzer v H Mac is the debate at the moment-is 30K really enough to justify picking a second year player, albeit a very good one? I dont hink it is.

Premiums
<ol>
,<li>Darren Jolly (453,600)</li>
,<li>Drew Petrie (458,700)</li>
,<li>Aaron Sandilands (558,100)</li>
</ol>
Im worried that Sandilands will be sent for surgery or something by the Dockers so they get one of Scully/Trengrove. Jollys the best premium.

Forwards

Rookies
<ol>
,<li>Hayden Ballantyne (120,400)</li>
,<li>Simon Hogan (147,500)</li>
,<li>James Sellar (94,200)</li>
</ol>
Ballantyne has been a disappointment so far, but at least hell play. Hogan was good last week, but his spot is under huge jeopardy with so many stars returning. Sellar.... well, hes cheap!

Midrangers
<ol>
,<li>Brent Harvey (408,700)</li>
,<li>Lance Franklin (344,800)</li>
,<li>Jason Akermanis (421,200)</li>
</ol>
Harvey is a huge risk, but could give a huge payoff. Buddy was back last week, but Duddy has been playing most of the season-which will turn up for finals? Also consider that the Hawks may retire him for the season and prepare for 2010. Aker is the conservative option-I cant believe I used conservative and Aker in the same sentence....

Premiums
<ol>
,<li>Leon Davis (496,600)</li>
,<li>Nick Riewoldt (545,900)</li>
,<li>Aaron Davey (472,300)</li>
</ol>
Davis is a star, while youre letting your team down if you dont get Riewoldt.  Davey is a consistent player, but beware the taggers. * Dont be tempted by the ROK-not only is he extremely expensive, his role is still undetermined with Hall out of the team.
