1. Jimmy Bartel - Price $417,100. If you have the Cash now is the time to move. as far as Bartel standards go he has hit rock bottom, after his 115 on the weekend his price is sure to sky rocket.
2. Nick Riewoldt - Price $319,800. Jump on Board! Nick scored 108 on the weekend his best score of the year and his first 100 since round 5. Looks like he is getting on top of his injury problems
3. Johnathan Brown - Price $366,99. If for some strange reason you don't have Browny last chance to get him super cheap as he is sitting on 2 130+ scores and price is ready to hit the 400k mark. grab him now!
4. Brendon Goddard - Price $317,900. Goddard is back! after a slow but steady start to the season he looks like he has turned the corner after a massive 116 on the weekend. Goddard averaged 97 2 seasons ago and 80 last year(again 90 plus if you take away the game that ended his season.
5. Adam McPhee - Price $284,300. McPhee has had a poor start to the season with his price dropping 104k, not once scoring over 85 Dream Team points in his 8 outings. This all changed on the weekend and it was the McPhee of old easily hitting the century with 108. No coincidence at all that this also marked the return of Lucas shifting McPhee back to his more familiar role on the Half Back line.

DREAM TEAM CASH COWS
Backs
EDWARDS, Jake
$119,700 ($+36,200)
74 last week in his fourth match.
HOULIHAN, Tim
$83,500 $0 ($+0)
74 from 1 game. Great First game. One to watch
WILKES, Beau
$72,600 ($+0) 53 from 1 game
At his price if he can hold his spot he could be a decent option.
Centres
WELLINGHAM, Sharrod
$130,800 ($+58,200) Avg. 73
If you thought he was to bigger risk he is looker a whole lot safer after his 82 on the weekend. Looks a sure thing to hold his spot at least for the next few weeks.
MORTON, Jarryd
$83,500
Nice Start to his career with 16 disposals and 57 points. A very tough team to hold a position in so take at your own risk.
Forwards
KENNEDY, Josh P.
$83,500
Nice start with 58 but faces the same problem as Morton with the Hawthorn's depth. In saying that he's given himself every Chance to with an impressive debut.
VALENTI, Shane
$72,600 Avg 58.5 from 2 games (ALSO A CENTRE)
The beauty of Valenti is his versatility in being listed as a Forward as well as a centre. With a price of $72k and a steady start to his career you would think that he would get a good chance with Melbourne desperately needing to develop young talent. Wait for him to be named this week then jump on him.

BEST BUYS
Backs
DRUMMOND, Josh $316,600 $-17,900 ($-58,500)
Ball magnet will finish the year as one of the top 3-4 averaging backs. He is dirt cheap and a must have at his price.
IBBOTSON, Garrick $257,300 +$24,800 ($+160,900)
Still very cheap when you consider he has averaged 87 over the past 4 matches and does not look to be stopping. Just in case you don't already have him act now!
Centres
THOMPSON, Scott $404,800 +$10,000 ($-27,900)
Down a little from his starting price and with his massive 153 on the weekend will not be around the $400k mark for long. He gets a lot of ball, takes marks and can kick a goal. Great Dream Teamer.
VAN BERLO, Nathan $348,000 +$24,900 ($+18,300)
Had a sound start to the season but has averaged close to 100 over his past 4 matches and is value.
CASSISI, Domenic $372,300 $-8,600 ($-8,100) Avg 89.5
Only way is up for Cassisi. He doesn't have to many bad games and as undervalue due to Ports poor start. Look for him to start hitting regular 100's.
BOYD, Matthew $371,500 $-7,900 ($-48,400) Avg 90
Down 48k due to a couple of poor games but still averaging 90 is a good option. Also never gets the tag.
CARRAZZO, Andrew $414,400 $1,300 ($-20,500)
Super consistent with scores of 93, 90, 104, 103, 94, 95, 140, 71, 103 Can't go wrong with Carrazzo. Absolute AFL Dream Team gun!
Forwards
MEDHURST, Paul $339,700 $-18,100 ($+99,000) Avg. 92.56
Pies are hot and Medhurst is part of the reason why. He has flown under the radar to average 92.5 and with a price tag of 339,700 looks a very tempting.
THOMAS, Dale $293,500 +$20,500 ($-36,000) Avg.74.44
After a public plea from Mick to lift Thomas has done just that with last 2 scores 97 & 95 he looks like he has taken his game to the next level where and as a 293k he is a steal.
JOHNSON, Brad $347,800 +$17,300 ($-87,500)
A lot have been holding off putting Johnson into their Dream Team due to the injury cloud that has hung over his head. But looking at the way he moved on the weekend he may have shaken his niggles and at 87k under his starting price it is now time to make your move.
DRUMMOND, Josh $316,600 $-17,900 ($-58,500)
Ball magnet will finish the year as one of the top 3-4 averaging backs. He is dirt cheap and a must have at his price.

AFL Dream Team Tip of the week
Time to start foccusing on the cream of the crop at this stage and if you are not upgrading you should be picking up cheap rookies. Try to avoid mid range players as they only mean you will need to use a further upgrade by seasons end to turn them into a gun. And most likely you will make little money out of them, bar a few exceptions. Most of the guys you select in your Dream team from now on should be selected with the view of having them in your team at round 22. So stock up on cash by down grading your Cash Cows and aim high with your guns. You don't want to settle for second best when upgrading as you only get 20 trades so use them wisely.
Peaking Cash Cows
If you are lucky enough to be in a position to be able to down grade this week. And not still reeling over the massive backline dilemma, here are a a list of a few guys that are ready to be offloaded. It is time to bring in the big guns and these guys are on the chopping block.
Forwards
Josh Hill: If you still have him has has to go has been lucky to keep his spot for this long and will struggle to make the final cut this week. Hill has definitely peaked and is ripe for a trade.
Bernie Vince: Vince has maxed out for the time being and with the huge amount of under priced forwards on the market would be a perfect upgrade option.
Cyril Rioli: Not quite ready but close enough when you consider that and of the value forward options will most likely increase equally in dollar value as Rioli if not more over the next 5 weeks. Rioli has been a great Cow for most Dream Teamers but his time is just about up.
Possible pick ups B Johnson, S Johnson, J Brown, M Richardson, Chapman. All great value and will not be at that price for long.
Centres
Cale Morton: He is ready to go, with 3 low scores in a row now and little signs of change in the near future. Would take quite a few weeks for him to turn it around cash wise and by then the bird has flown.
Bachar Houli: Like Rioli he is one you could hold for a few more weeks as he is still in great form and only getting better. Should max out at just over 300k though and with gun mids of such importance it could be time to say bye bye bachar.
If you are looking to downgrade Browne from Carlton is the obvious choice. If an upgrade is on your menu players like Joel Corey, Sam Mitchell, Heath Scotland or Anthony Carrazzo could be good options.
Backs
Ellis: Started the season great but his form has tapered off dramatically. his price has peaked and is on the decline. with his limited game time of an avg of %70 for the season)not looking like changing to soon Ellis (if by some miracle you don't have bigger probs in your backs) has had his time and could be a viable upgrade player.
Phieffer: Looks like he has blown his chance for the moment and if your Cash Cows in other positions are not flourishing might be worth a down grade for a cheeky 100k. Phieffer looks as though he will find it tough to break in to the blues line up especially with Thornton and Hartlett to return.
As far as backs go cheap options are few and far between with Garrick Ibbotson (Freo) looking like the only reliable option atm. Those with some cash to spend would look no further than the likes of Milburn (might wait a week though due to injury cloud) P. Burgoyne seams to be hitting form after confidence boosting Performance for the Dream Team. Josh Drummond who is a little pricey but will rack up the points. maybe give him a look for a week also, and Brendon Goddard who had made a steady start after his knee reco. and should only improve.

Dream Team Dynamites
In this section I will point out a few of the the hot Dream Team prospects for the season ahead. This week focusing on the Backs and mids. Probably the positions where DT is won or lost.
BACKS
SYMES Drafted from Port after limited opportunities last season. A big chance of playing a sweeping roll in defence and have been whisper that he may get a run on the ball from time to time which would even further bolster his DT prospect. @$264,900 he is worth the gamble
PFEIFFER Showed good form in NAB cup round one scoring 89 DT points and does look like securing a starting spot in Carlton's slightly lacking back-line. Could risk him as a starter but might be safer to keep on the bench. With a price tag of $83,500 he doesn't take to much cash out of your starting line up.
PETTERD In his first year he showed great signs to suggest that he is a very DT worthy defender. And has bounced back after his tragic injury last season. I expect him to rack them up in a Melbourne back line that could see a lot of the ball this year. priced at $273,100 has scope for some cash gain.
ELLIS Ellis's big challenge this year will be getting a start in Hawthorn's strong back-line. However if he does he could be well worth your trouble. Ellis didn't get a lot of game time last season averaging 49 from an average of 68 mins from his 13 games. This suggests he could reach an average of 70 with another year under his belt and given that he will get more TOG this year.
KENNELY Due to 3 separate injuries last season Kennely has come in well under price. if you take away the 3 games he was injured early match his average would be 78.9 meaning his start price should more realistically be $350,000 injury risk is a slight problem but if he can recapture his early last season form he could be well worth it.
MID FIELD
VAN BERLO It's time for VB to shine! The crows are looking to give aging reg mid fielders such as Goodwin more time up forward meaning youngsters that have been on the fringes like Riley and especially VB will spend a lot more time in the middle bumping them up from 75 av players to 85-90's as long as they can take there chance. which I think they will.
STEVENS the most obvious lock of the season. @ $237,200 Need I say more.
DYSON Even more so than Adelaide Essendon will be looking at some of there 2nd, 3rd year mids to step up and from all reports Knights is a Dyson fan and he will start in the middle @ $201,800 appears to be a bargain. His 90+ DT score on the weekend could be a sign of things to come.
HOULI Will be interesting to see if HOULI starts in the midfield alongside Dyson and co. He is doing everything in his power to make this happen with sparkling NAB cup for showing off his great ball handling skills! With decent amount of TOG his price won't stay @ $196,800 for long at all.
BOAK Possible future leader of the club Boak was very impressive in his first season finishing with a DT average of 62 from his 13. will be looking to sure up a place in the midfield this year and if so could bump his av up to the 85-90 mark thus making him a cheap long term keeper for all dream teams. Priced @ $274,400
CAUGHLAN absolute ball magnet! has had 2 successful matches for Coburg on his long comeback trail and if picked in round one is a must for all teams. Will start slow but hang in there if u can with him.
