Where is clint bartam at?
He is only 110k
1.How is his pre-season going?
2. Will he play round 1?
3. How many games do u expect from him?
melbourne150
27 Feb 2008, 18:39
He should hopefully be ready for round 1...
And if fit should play every game...
See how he goes in the praccy games and whether he gets picked round one. Apparently he is running out full training sessions now, so could be worth a good look as a cash cow in DT this year.

Surely he isn't 110 kilos or am i missing something?:confused:
Nah I take it tt was referring to his price on dreamteam
Aaah, the old dream team...don't i look like a knob!!
The RPM

With Cale Morton only about $3000 more it will be interesting to see who proves the best cashcow for the season.
If healthy Bartram has a reasonable chance of playing almost every game. Morton's harder to judge, though his form on the weekend suggests he might be ready for the big time already.

he played on the weekend though? we all know with clint it is a touch and go situation but surely this would indicate he is improving

i'm interested in Bartram from a dreamteam/supercoach point of view too, but i don't think he actually played last week did he?
the other one who i think is an absolute bargain if fit is Mathew Whelan. how is he tracking, and is he still in your best side when right?

I'd leave him out of your team and wait until he gets a couple of games into him and then trade if you have injuries or before his value increases.

My eyes lit up when I read Bartram's name in the bests in the Herald Sun report but according to the people that were there as reported on demonland and demonology he didn't actually play.

do you guys think pettard will be worth the punt?
i have heard good raps on him before so will he be regular 22 if fit + where do you guys see him playing?

I have slotted him into my team. If fit he will be a regular and is one of the more talented players IMO. He should play on a HBF and provide plenty of run for the mighty Dees.

If Col is fit, you will see the reason why we picked him up in the first round a few years ago. Give him 6 weeks to get into things, then watch as 'THE KID' takes off.

Hey DM - I noticed that Wheatley was one of the higher scorers last year on champion data - will he get a permanent gig this year?

God, I heard Colin Sylvia has played three consecutive pre-season games, is it worth picking him when he has already played half of the 6 games he averages a season?

Is Bartram going to play many this year?
Ah Phil Gilbert, we still have nightmares..
davey_magik
3 Mar 2008, 19:54
Valenti IMO would be a good bet as if he plays he's likely to get a lot of the ball, but it is a question of whether we'll get a long term injury and Valenti will be upgraded off the rookie list.
Bartram isn't fit yet and I wouldn't take him as he has to cement a spot in the side again.
For us some good bets would be Daniel Bell and Jared Rivers, shouldn't be THAT expensive and will be guaranteed to play every game if fit.

Especially Rivers, the poor bloke can't catch a break with his injuries.

Could be a bargain pickup, gets a fair few possessions for a ruckman but won't be scoring THAT high, would be handy on the bench.

How is David Neitz going? Worth a gamble?
I hope you aren't serious about Neitz.
He has never been a good dter. In fact, as a general rule player's from any team playing a similar role to Neitz (little to no work around the ground and thus inconsistency due to almost exclusive reliance on goal scoring for points) have little tangible value in the world of fantasy football. See also; F.Gehrig, M.O'Loughlin and S.Rocca.
Look for forwards who move around the ground gathering marks and disposals for fantasy teams. Brad Johnson, a DT stud for years, is a perfect example of this style. With forwards like these, if the goals aren't coming at least the DT points are.

I should have clarified that I'm not playing DreamTeam or SuperCoach but Fantasy Footy (www.fantasyfooty.net.au) which is a draft-based game. The draft is up to pick 299 out of ~450, so we're scraping the barrel. Anyway, Neitz has been drafted, so I'm considering Michael Newton as a possibility.

Oh, in that case I like Newton more than Neitz in fantasy terms anyway so I'd get him.

Same goes with Green.

Brock should have a reasonably good year but Green could be good in term of just racking up the kicks.

Yes, very disappointing, we'll still finish top half though, and next season we'll be a far better side providing we get a better injury run and are busy in the transfer window.

Given that Wonamierri is on the rookie list I'd ditch him. Surely there is somebody at the same price on another club list who is around the same price and is senior.

How is Petterd travelling ?? How did he go against the Roos today ??Apparently didn't go too badly but without seeing the game if he and 10 others actually were playing well we wouldn't have got spanked, I'd say he be a pretty good chance for round 1 without being locked in.
will whelan play round 1? and yes simon buckley is good, atm i have nathan jones and whelan in my side!Jones is probably the safest bet for a demon, good choice. I don't know enough about how Whelan went in the VFL on saturday to tell you whether its a good pickup or not.

muchly appreciated :thumbsu:Meesen hasn't had a good shot at the ruck yet, he's been played as a tall running player, Paul Johnson and Jamar have both shown ok signs so far, wouldn't be in my fantasy team or my demons round 1 lineup
Buckley is an athletic looking midfielder who can kick the footy a long way and kicks it nicely (but not the most accurate). Played the most impressive quarter of our whole preseason against the cats, but missed the second game and in the last two he might have got carried away with the aggressive running. Role is an outside midfielder, has pace to burn. Sadly for the rest of the players in one good quarter he has probably showed enough to get a spot in round 1, but I wouldn't lock him in as best 22
Hey guys.
Just wondering how is Brent Moloney going?

Many Thanks.Hopefully he is over OP and his fitness is much improved on the last two years. Practice match form has been solid without spectacular. Don't know his price but I think he would be worth the gamble.
How has Jack Grimes been going?
has he been injured, has he had game time?

Not just dream team questions, Melbourne are probably my seccond club, Pettard, Bartram, Weetra, Meesen, Bode, Rivers, McNamarra? where are all of these kids at, will they play much league this year? You have a stunning coach in Dean Bailey, I think far to many people are writing a good side off far to early, any side with Nietz, Robertson, Rivers, Bruce and White are capable of anything on there day! If 5 young kids step up I would say finals are very likely!

I think I read somewhere that Austin Wonearmirri played in your most recent practice match and Shaun Valenti didn't. If that's the case, would that make Wonearmirri ahead of Valenti as the likely promoted rookie?
Also, is it true that Jack Grimes is on the LTI list atm? If so, do you think we could see Aussie get a run early on in the year?
Ling Sting
12 Mar 2008, 12:18

Grimes isn't on the LTI list just yet, but it could very well happen soon, I think you'd find Valenti promoted before Aussie though.

I think he might struggle initially to return to his form of last season.
I don't see him having many 15+ possesion games until the mid-point of the season, at which point it might be worth drafting him into your DT team as he starts to improve.

Morton is a good chance of playing round 1 especialy if Bruce isn't ready.
And may be a regular this season depending on his form(obviously)
And Valenti is on the rookie list...

Thanks guys.I expect him to continue his 70 points a game role, but also throw in a few good scores. Not quite breakout though, because he might needs the support around him that you get in a good side to really score well consistently

If 5 young kids step up I would say finals are very likely!Thanks for the positivity, but I see us as being slow starters but being more than competitive as the season goes on if these injured players like Rivers and Whelan get fit. As for the young blokes.
Petterd - 15 plus games especially as our backline needs him
Bartram - Still struggling with injury, could get fully right and come good playing 15 plus games or could battle the whole season and play 5, pick him up after he shows form
Weetra - Still not ready,starting to play like a good first year player now, might crack a few games if lucky
Meesen - Needs to harden the f up, he might need a fair bit of time, but if his tap ruckwork comes good will easily replace the Jamar and Johnson show
Bode - Don't get fooled by one good game last year, he isn't up to it, could still play as we are short on defenders (I think he's better as a tagger or small forward anyway though) but wouldn't let him near someone who knows what they are doing
Rivers - Varying injury reports, we know hes not 100%, can he last most of the season, I bloody hope so
McNamara - Real surprise of the preseason from the one Geelong game I saw, moves really well but not ready for senior footy (youngest in the draft), could be like Petterd last year, coming into the team midseason and playing 10 games max, injuries to defenders could get him some more time.

Bate vs Davey
Both around the same price, I want to pick one, but which? Any help would be appreciated.Davey by a mile, his form has been great in the preseason, he looks set to move (successfully) into the midfield and is over last years injuries also last year he had a few very good 25+ possession games. Bate on the other hand looks like missing 2-3 weeks with a hammy, and has been trialled in the midfield with poor results.

Expecting Yze to play every game this season lads? If not all then the majority?I think he is a failure waiting to happen in the backline but if he can play well there he will get plenty of games cause we are fair short of talent back there. I think he is fit and hungry again but I wouldn't back him to play every game. But with Yze its often been all or nothing

Afternoon all.
I'm in two minds about picking Daniel Bell. He was in some good form over four rounds (averaging around 85) in the middle of last year before he was injured against Essendon. Is there any chance he could come close to averaging around 75-80 this year or is he being used as more of a stopper? His NAB Cup form hasn't exactly filled me with confidence.
Also, is there anyone in particular who's set to take over the role Nathan Brown had last year?
Cheers.
Does anyone think that Garland is in the mix for selection Round 1?

Don't get Bell as he will definitely be more of a stopper this year and i he just isn't a natural scorer. Although he was already a permanent in our starting 22, Whelan is basically a better version of Doggy and is dirt cheap so you might want to have a look at him.

Goodwin will possibly play a forward role this year, and isn't likely to get the kind of scores he was getting last year.

Bit similar with Goodwin, actually - we'll be playing him more up forward and down back. Doubt he'll average as much as he has been in previous years - you could probably do better for the price than both, by the sounds of it.
I was wondering how McLean's pre-season has been. Any injury concerns, and has he been playing in the trial games? He looks like he could be a good get, should he return to his 2006 form, or close to it

An opinion on who would be better out of Jones and Mclean, both similar price. Jones has been very good this pre-season, but Brock has the runs on the board, is he capable of rediscovering his 06 scores this season?
cheers,

brock hasn't shown much yet this pre season, however if he is fit then would be capable of returning to his 06 form...
Jones from all reports has been our best player this pre season, and looks set to continue where he left off last year, if not become even better...
