Because Ablett deserves his own topic, Im gunna run on the forward front.

Firstly <a href="http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/76234/default.aspx">Lucas dropped[/url].

<blockquote>
ESSENDON has dropped out of form forward Scott Lucas after the veteran again struggled in his sides loss to the Brisbane Lions on Saturday night.

Coach Mathew Knights said on Tuesday that Lucas has been given the option of either turning out for Essendons VFL affiliate the Bendigo Bombers this weekend or taking a week off from football altogether.

With luck, it will just be for the week, but if youre still keeping the faith in him, its looking bleaker all the time.
(DT-wise though, it might be worth waiting a week as hes appreciating value over there, not LEAKING IT LIKE A SIEVE!)

The irrepressible Richoman, is slightly more repressible now, a <a href="http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/76230/default.aspx">season ending injury[/url] burning him, and a lot of coaches.
<blockquote>
RICHMOND superstar Matthew Richardsons season could be over with immediate surgery required to repair a tear in his left hamstring tendon.

The 10-12 week recovery period would leave him precious little time to get match-fit before the end of the season, with Richmond struggling at 1-5 and looking set to miss the finals.

Unfortunately, Richo has dropped 70k in value first before his little holiday, but it is definitely time to trade him out.

So what do we have to play with. 475k.

All of my *honest* suggestions will weigh in higher than that I think.

Neon Leon (627k - currently playing at 677k), is a freak at the moment. If youve got the cajones, he might be worth a looking.
Roo (617k - currently playing at 664k after a slow start), is going from strength to strength, however, might be too expensive now to represent good value.
The Chapstick (548k - currently playing at 571k), is looking good value. Particularly with Ablett missing a few weeks.
Pavlich (547k - currently playing at 547k after a slow start), looks to have played himself back into some form and is looking very tasty.

However, if you simply cant free up the funds. You might want to look in the direction of.
Stevie J. (468k - currently playing at 495k), and like Chappy, might find some extra points with Gaz being out of the equation.
Lids - Looks to be hitting the trough. Might have a week before he starts to raise though.
Roughy - A big game on the weekend will see his price start heading up. If he can back that up against the Dons, hell be great value.

And finally, forwardWatch.

The idea here is to keep an eye on those premium forwards (started the season at 500k +) who are dropping in price. Ideally with the plan of snaring them up as a bargain.

Franklin. Price: 441k - Lost - 134k - BE: 115 - Still looks to have some falling to do. Though it will only take one game to turn it around.
Ive heard rumours (from the comments here no less!) of Buddy still dealing with issues around his thumb. Worrying signs...

Okeefe. Price: 467k - Lost - 92k - BE: 109 - Still looks to have some falling to do. Though it will only take one game to turn it around.
Just looks to have fallen off the wagon. While hes not getting horrible scores, it has been a steady, steady decline.

Lids. Price: 476k - Lost - 73k - BE: 72 - Finally looks to have bottomed out.
Another 100+ score and he might get himself off this list.

Lloyd. Price: 444k - Lost 73k - BE: 160 - Unless he plans on finishing the year as he did last year, I would steer clear of this superstar... (no bias intended...)

Brown. Price: 486k - Lost 52k - BE: 85.5 - Might be bottoming out, Sadly with Brownie, it takes two good games to get off the ground. Hes hit one of them, but whether he can back it up or not is a different story.

All round, a bad week for Supercoachers the nation over.

Luckily, there is a lot of value there, if youve got the funds to secure it... *waves to Ablett*...
