Oh yeah its time for another week of trading.   First and foremost, some tips for trading:

- Only bring in keepers

- Save some trades for disasters, some have already had them and you will in the next 11 rounds still have more of them, luck wont miraculously turn unfortunately.

- 8 is the minimum Id like to surf home with from here-on to win my league.  And youd want a fairly settled 22 with a few subs with those 8 trades.   Winning the league you may well need 4 trades at Round 18.

Anyway, onto the Best Buys for the week (remember to read them because people asking questions about Ryder this week about whether he was value...cmon he was top of the Best Buys of course he is value!!)

DEF
Rookie - Broughton (164600), Henderson (183700), Cheney (198100)
Broughton picks himself, the rest are duds.  No value here at all.
Midrange - Ryder (435100), Harding (394600), Enright (448500)
Great value in the midrange now, with more to come in future weeks:
Hodge, Milburn, Gilbert all getting into the low 400s/high 300s
Premium - Newman (490600), Fisher (497700), Goddard (570400)
Though Goddard can go cheaper, hes not bad value if you want an upgrade target.
The other two - Newman/Fisher are the perfect trade-ins for Chornes.

MID
Rookie - Muston (94200), Sheldon (180800), Swift (94200)
Muston, no one else thanks very much.
Midrange - Power (419700), Cooney (441500), Kerr (343400)
More speculative at this price zone.  Trade in if no other real options.
Premium - Ablett (701700), Dal Santo (515400), Cross (473600)
Given Ablett is a Supercoach freak, this is as low as he goes.
Dal is super-low also for a few wks, and Cross in the past has been SuperCoach gold.

FWD
Rookie - Wright (151500), Garlett (142200), Henderson (183700)
Like the look of Wright.  Maybe just too expensive now.
Midrange - Fevola (359700), Brown (414900), Byrnes (413600)
Could almost do a straight Dale Thomas-Fev swap.  Thats how low Fev is at the moment = value!
J Brown is ridiculously low value but giving no return so is a speculative pick at best.  Byrnes just cos all Cats score big.
Premium - Giacusa (452700), Davey (485100), OKeefe (510300)
Gia might just be back.  Davey is cheap and will get cheaper.  ROK still fairly cheap.

RUC
Rookie - Naitanui (169200), McEvoy (150700), Pyke (83400)
The two first two might get a game this week.  Nicknat in great WAFL Form.
Midrange - Jolly (414300), Koschitzke (393100), Clark (410700)
Clark = Ryder on the forward line.  The others are good solid picks.
Premium - Cox (555100), Petrie (473600), McIntosh (474500)
All good picks but you wouldnt upgrade to them anymore.

Let me know if you agree, or vehemently disagree.
