Round 3 is over hopefully you have filled your team with any hot money making prospects that you may have missed initially. But don't fear if you have missed out. There at least a couple on the go at the moment and many more to pop up shortly.
Key Forward prospect:
Obviously look no further than Tom Hawkins he is looking like a must have after a blistering start to his career booting 7 goals in 2 games and amassing a more than healthy average for his price in doing so.
Key Centre prospect:
If you are looking for a cheap centre and already have the dream team gun of the year in Chris Knights, Sydney's Tim Schimdt looks like he may have the goods. He has racked up 30 possessions as well as 3 goals from his 2 games so far. with a an average points score of 63.5 and a price of just 98,200(Dream Team) he is sure to pick you up some big dollars and possibly handy points.
Key Back prospect:
First of all if you don't have Adcock take him now before his price rises up to the 300,000+ mark. But for those who did a little research and have had him since round 1 here are a couple more players to think about. Currently in the backs there are not any bargain basement buys going around. but many middle price range players that could turn into top shelf selections. So far this year we have had the inconsistency of Brennan(Bris) as well as Jacobs(Haw) both mixing 2 brilliant performances with 1 fairly average effort. You would expect them both to turn out to be pretty solid buys but whether they are long term pics only time will tell. They both finishing the first 3 weeks with a very healthy average for there price. But be ware Jared's poor Round 3 score will hinder his price rise for the next 3 weeks- as a players last 3 games average decide his price rise or fall so if you expect to make any more money out of him in the next 2 weeks think again.
A couple of more consistent performers are Nathan Bock(Adel) and Tadgh Kennelly of Sydney who have both have put in a super start to 2007. In the 3 games so far Bock averages 89 at $260,900 and Kennelly who looks to have taken the next step up to the elite level with the massive average of 96 at $271,600 look to be the best buys at this stage.
In the Next week we see Richard Hadley play his second game after a slow but safe start in his first game back after 2 Knee reco's. As long as he stays on the park he will finish the year some where around the $300, 000 mark. But have another look this week before his price goes anywhere before adding him.
Other more established players that are already at the top but can be picked up under value at the moment include:
Barry Hall
Lenny Hayes
Ben Johnson
Shannon Grant
Simon Goodwin
Keep an eye out for these guys when looking to off load some big dollars as they are all great buys. They will most become even more affordable after this week. Happy Coaching!

The Big 4 Trades
The next 2 weeks gives you the opportunity to make up to 4 changes. These are the most important trades you will make all season. Choosing the right players that will continue to make you dollars or maybe even be good enough to hold there position is the key to Dream Team success. The earlier you can find these Dream Team super stars the more money you will make and the more you will to help your quest of stacking your team full of guns asap.
Although we are just one round down in the AFL season and of course the Dream Team competition, you may have already had some pleasant and not so pleasant surprises relating to the performance of your team. It may seem harsh to drop a player after just one week especially with trades being like gold over the long 22 round season. But if you have spent big dollars on him it only takes one bad score over the first three rounds and his average will be below par and his value will drop accordingly. There are obviously two options, firstly trade him for someone maybe a lot cheaper who's score was through the roof in round one, like a Brennan, Jacobs or even Young, who would all have to break down not to gain value after there 1st up efforts, whether they continue this form is of course very debatable, but that's another story. The second option is to ride the wave and hope he can make up for his poor start and that the player will average out to a decent level in the end.
I say, use the next to weeks to pick up any likely cash cows that you may have missed in your pre season research or surprise packets that have got under all of our guards before price change at the completion of round 3. The more of these you can successfully detect the better your score will finish up. Any the more likely it will be that you take at the flag in your league.

AFL DREAM TEAM ROUND 1
One round down, Hope all the research has paid off and the hot tips for big up and comers for the year ahead is well on track. Some people may disagree but my theory is that you need to trade hard and smart for the next two weeks. With prices set to fluctuate at the end of round 3 you have just 4 changes to make during that time. any obvious blunders need to be sorted out and you need to pick 4 players that are achieving well above there price range. Easiest way to do this is to sort go through stats centre, be it on 'AFL Dream Team', or 'Super Coach' and check out the highest ranked players for the week, with an emphasis placed on seeking out the bargains. There are plenty out there already just one week in. You may see it as a little impatient to be trading already as form can be so volatile, but some one you were looking at buying at the end round two for $140,000 may have sky rocketed to over $200,000 by price change at end of week 3 so don't miss out, start your moves this week.
