With just two rounds to go until we say bye to the bye rounds for 2012, now is the time to prepare yourself for the run to the finals. Hopefully we have seen the worst of the injuries and your team can stay relatively stable over the next eight weeks.

Here are my tips for Round 17:

- If you are looking to bring in a big gun, then my mate Nathan Hindmarsh is a no brainer. Coming off a massive score of 106 in Round 16 you would have been silly to trade him out.

- Unless you are flush with trades then keep them in the bank for this round. There are no obvious cheap buys to be found and if you are playing head to head then you will need at least four trades up your sleeve if you make it to the finals.

- Save a trade for big Tony Williams, he is a definite gun and a must have for any Dream Team coach.

So good luck in Round 17 and keep dreaming.

Go the Blues!
