AFL Dream Team 2008: Part 3

[blues4flag]

Huge night for me:
Milburn
Corey (captain)
Didak
Shaw
Swan (if I end up going for him)

 

[the egg]

Same here Richo for me in 2 weeks (hopefully)

Plz can some1 tell me which combination is better

1, Richo, Ablett, Palmer, leaves me with 4 trades left for the season
2, S Johnson, Corey, Bartell, leaves me with 3

Your pretty much deciding between S Johnson and Palmer. S Johnson didnt score under 85 in his last 9 games last year at the end of the season so that's something to keep in mind. But Palmer has been outstanding. Flip a coin?

 

[Cruiser23]

Sounds like a good plan. I really want Richo, basically because so many people have Franklin and it would be a good way to differentiate. The difference between the two is that Richo isn't getting the no.1 defender anymore where as Franklin is, so there's potential 60's for Franklin where as it would be unlikely for Richo to score that low.

Riewoldt on the other hand...i traded him out when he got injured. I've never picked up a player after i dumped him but if he starts carving it will be very tempting!

Spot on with the Richo Franklin comparison. He's playing on the wing and doesn't rely on kicking 6 goals to get 100. Since Walace has moved him, he has averaged 120 playing on the wing and pushing forward in five game with three scores over 130.

Just had a look at the Tigers scheduale, they have Sydney at the SCG next week. Hopefully he doesn't score massively this week and scores a 50-60 the week after. Will be at his lowest in 3-4 weeks time, perfect time to upgrade Gamble.

Huge night for me:
Milburn
Corey (captain)
Didak
Shaw
Swan (if I end up going for him)

Tonight:

Shaw
Pendlebury
Chapman
Bartel (C)

Expecting about 1000 from that lot.

 

[Daitro]

who to put on the park?

Browne/ Wonaemirri/ Wellingham in mids

Mayne/ Gamble up forward

both guys in the freo/ carl game?

2, S Johnson, Corey, Bartell, leaves me with 3

well look at it this way its:

ablett vs bartel -- they pretty much cancel each other out.

richo vs corey -- once again i think they cancel each other out

palmer + 1 trade vs s.johnson -- personally i dont think johnson will outscore palmer. if you take away palmers 46 which was a shocking game that he will never reproduce he averages 89. IMO the trade is way to valuable to waste on a maximum of 5 points a week.

So that could be also good timing for a Gamble >> Richo trade. I've never had Richardson i'm getting excited that he could be entering my team
Once that trades done, my team is complete

Thnx Walsey

Egg: Yeh, Im doing the same thing in 2 weeks but with Gamble -> rookie, Rioli --> Richo, but expect a 150 from richo this week

 

[bones25]

Round 10.
Thnx Walsey

Rd 10 with 3 or 4 trades left?

forget it, you will be gone by Rd 18. UNLESS you have 2 strong bench players in all positions, bar rucks of course.

 

[DT_fanatic]

Shaw
Swan
Chapmannn

350 would be nice.

 

[banana_bus]

Shaw
Swan
Chapmannn

350 would be nice.

High hopes

Sorry round 12, yeh i made some bad moves early in the year as i had not grasped the whole trading process.

My bench aint too bad
Myers, Selwood
Browne, Wellingham <- Could be a problem
Kreuzer, West
Tippet, Rookie

 

[Juddy88]

Got a bit of a problem, have got Riewoldt on the field with Tippet as EMG.
Also have Rioli starting.

Really want to trade out Rioli for maybe Valenti and then upgrade Tippet to Pav, but if I do so and Roo doesn't play I'll be copping Valenti's score (who knows what that could be).

11 trades left, could wait a week as Rioli and Tippet are playing Melbourne and Eagles, which could mean a score in the 70's, which isn't to bad.

Thoughts?

I think you know the right answer, waiting a week is a good move, gives tippet another chance to rise and you'll have a better idea of Valenti.

Edit: on the other hand, you wont be copping a 0 btw, just put Valenti as emergency.

 

[the egg]

With 6 trades left you could say that i could be in strife if i get hit by injuries. I only have 1 more player to upgrade in Gamble....but i'm thinking trading in a decent emergency down back could be the wiser move.

Emergencies are

SDT
Hansen

Ebert
Wellingham

Kruezer
Cartledge

Tippett
Stewart

To upgrade Gamble i'd have to use 2 trades, leaving me with 4....then i might trade out Hansen for Myers if i can still afford it, leaving me with 3 trades for injuries. I think i'm pushing my luck real hard here but it could pay off.

Lol I just came on here to correct that hahah.

I think Valenti will play most of the season though (baring injury).

I'm very doubtful Roo will play, might have to rely on Pav scoring around the 80-90 mark to keep me happy if I don't pick him up.

He scores well in Melbourne though

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

My forwards and backs are almost set

C.Cornes, H.Shaw, Goddard, P.Burgoyne, Milburn, Birchall and WonaeamirriPalvich, BJ, JB, T.Cloke, L.B.F, Chapman, Porplyzia

Wona will be traded to Drummond wither next week or the week after.
T.Cloke would love him to fire as it will make my team real strong.

Which mid should i release Palmer or Mclean and who should i pick up J.Corey or Bartel

 

[samwise]

k really need help on this

pfeiffer to s fisher & proud to myers (bench)
or
pfeiffer to myers (starting) and hill to chapman/franklin

option 2 also is better value in long run as myers should go past pfeiffer at 170k and hill is going down in price.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

I've got half a dozen playing tonight, so a good start would be fantastic, and beside them is what I expect from them...
Paul Chapman - 95
Steve Johnson - 90
Heath Shaw - 90
Harry Taylor - 50
Nathan J. Brown - 40
Sharrod Wellingham - 65

[Robo 123]

ok guys really need some advice. Who is the best option out of Mackie/Bock/Fisher/McPhee

 

[Colin D'Cops]

A dozen?

Half a dozen I meant to say, I typed it a bit fast, sorry for the inconvenience caused through that post...

 

[Jimhouse]

How many games will Davis(WCE) play this year?
Is he likely to get dropped after a bad game and Waters coming back in?

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

T.Cloke (need something really good from him)
Chapman - new player in my team this week
Milburn- came in last week waiting for his first ton this season
H.Shaw - expect a bounce back from last week

Hopefullly J.Corey and Bartel struggle and Ablett and Swan so my options are open in 2 3 weeks time for one of these to be an upgrade of Palmer or Mclean? but which one?
