ADELAIDE CROWS PHIL DAVIS (Def) $294,200 Adelaide has suffered a huge blow with key defender Davis ruled out for up to one month with a shoulder injury. Unfortunately the Crows have already had the bye and we won’t see his price change until after his third match, so he needs to be traded out this week.
SCOTT THOMPSON (Mid) $441,600 Thompson’s 152 points last week against Fremantle was the third-highest score of any player for the round. He racked up a career-high 40 disposals and was everywhere, also winning 21 contested possessions and nine clearances. Expect a decent price rise after this round.

The suspension to Brown could see him become a regular in defence over the next month.

This has seen his price fall by $57,300 which is the second-biggest drop of any player in the league.
SHANE SAVAGE (Mid) $186,900 Savage has made the most of his opportunity this season averaging 89 points per game.

He’s every chance to get dropped for the Saints next game in Round 5, so get in early and trade him out this week.
LENNY HAYES (Mid) $503,500 Despite missing the rest of the year through injury, over 7,000 coaches still have Hayes in their side which is disastrous. Make sure you trade him out this week, but not for any St Kilda player as they have the bye. Gibbs and Deledio are two players worth considering, especially if you don’t have a dual position player in your midfi eld. Johnson has been earmarked for a greater role in the midfi eld this season, which makes him an attractive proposition.
