It’s now seven rounds into the 2011 AFL home and away season, which means it’s time to start saying goodbye to those bargain players who have grinded out games and money for your Dream Team bank.

It can be a very emotional time for Dream Team coaches out there who have been gloating to their mates about picking players like Carlton’s Ed Curnow, Bulldog Tom Liberatore and Freo’s own Jayden Pitt.

The hardest part is letting go.

Think of it as owning shares in a company that have reached their ceiling. You’ve got to know when it’s time to jump ship before you start seeing all your hard-earned disappear into cyberspace.

Pitt started out at a bargain basement price, but Fremantle’s faith in their young players has seen the Victorian recruit play five games in 2011 and rise $77,800 in Dream Team.

It would have been more but Pitt has been used as a substitute on a couple of occasions, lowering his scores.

His breakeven this week, which is 77, has now caught up to and overtaken the youngster’s average score of 53.4.

That means that unless he scores well above expectations, Pitt’s status as a money-maker is about to go the way of tight shorts and mullets.

If you’re a gambler, hold on to him and hope he can pull out a big one this week to make you a bit more cash.

But the smart money says it’s time to say “Thanks Pitty, but it’s time to move on”.

If you’ve got enough cash left in the bank after you sell Pitt, Freo captain Matthew Pavlich ($390,400) looks a safe bet to replace Pitt in your forward line.

The other nerve-racking decision Dream Team coaches must make surrounds second-year sensation Nat Fyfe.

The 19-year-old has been impressive in 2011, averaging 98.33 DT points and rising in price by $94,200.

But a breakeven of 122 means the Lake Grace youngster has a big job on his very big hands to continue making you money.

Fyfey’s current price of $377,100 is bordering on premium, and his performances so far have been first class, but the decision on his future depends on whether or not you think he is a keeper.

If you think Fyfe can keep the high scores coming, save your trade and stick with him for the long haul.

But with improved form comes increased attention from the opposition, and many coaches out there will be betting that Fyfe’s DT output won’t remain as high as it has been.

If that’s your line of thinking, cash in your Fyfe chips now.

That’s the beauty of Dream Team - every decision could make or break your season.

Good luck.
