Cash cows come home

Dream Team farmers, it's time to go to market.

Two of this season's best cash cows, Melbourne middie Ricky Petterd and turbo-boosted Essendon forward Alwyn Davey, are on their respective clubs' long-term injury lists after serious ouchness struck in round 14.

Dees doctors reckon Petterd was only minutes away from death after he suffered a collapsed lung in Sunday's match against Carlton. They say he's a slight chance to play again this year, but I wouldn't be holding your breath (ED: unassailable leader for worst pun of the year). If you got on him before his third game (and subsequent price rises), Petterd would have made you about $120,000.

Davey, meanwhile, would've netted you a nifty $150,000 if you had him from week one to last weekend, when he snapped his arm. He's due to miss 8-10 weeks.

Trades will be dictated by the needs of each team, of course, but there'll be a fair buch out there looking to upgrade Petterd to one of the bevy of prime-movers currently at bargain-basement prices. Scottie West has dropped to $330k (but wait for his injury verdict first), Nick Dal Santo's still around the $300k-mark, Kane Cornes is at $375k with a breakeven of 200-plus, Heath Scotland costs about $325k and Simon Black's a steal at $275k (just don't tell Chopper you brought him in).

Even DT points leader Jimmy Bartel has dropped under $400,000 for the first time in yonks after injury cruelled his efforts in the past two weeks. He needs a Jason Dunstall-like score of 226 to breakeven this week, though, so it'll pay to bide our time.

Finally, you'll need to bench Daniel Kerr, Dustin Fletcher and Mark McVeigh this week after the tribunal tonight handed them all one-game bans.

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.

Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.

You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all.

I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!

Shit, when you get only three hits a day you don't care whether they're spammers or not.

Joshua, come back. Joshua?

BTW, I noticed Monty's magnificent FanFooty blog had 222 comments (and counting) on a recent post.

Now that's how you do a Dream Team blog, Joshua.

Was it just me or did Josh confuse everyone? - or do I read too fast... or only every 2nd word. Sorry Josh but you have freaked me out a little.

Pleasure Mr DT, let's just hope the Big Fev can put his indiscretions behind him and pull in a decent score this week without throwing his oversized skirt up over his head, particularly when I had to bench the incredibly 'Super Cheap' Nathan G. Brown to get him in my star-studded yet strangely underachieving forward line.
