AFL Dream Team 2006

[Top Dog]

Sylvia was too good an option to pass up! I don't know how anyone in there right mind missed that one.

 

[nameless]

Rodan, murphy or knights on starting 22?
I currently have rodan, a bit of a cash cow, but if he plays well i may keep him. Also unsure of captain this week, fraser got 104 against adeliade, so cox should do well too. Pav will be fired up at home, haselby always plays well at subi, hall at the scg could be good, j. brown back home, probably play on bradley at chf and then there is reiwoidt to clean up richmond.

Sylvia was too good an option to pass up! I don't know how anyone in there right mind missed that one.

My reasoning was to go with 2 topliners and 2 on the rise guys on the bench. I was happy with Mitchell and deledio, very unhappy with Simon Black and richitelli, however Marc Murphy will just replace Richitelli from my bench and all should be fine. I would have liked Sylvia but he just didnt fit into the structure that I had setup

Murphy as a centre.
Captains:
Pav > J Brown > Cox > Riewoldt > Hall > Haselby

Get rid of Rodan. There was talk of Sylvia having OP, so I stayed away from him.

Demon's fans.

What the go with Chris Johnson. Thought he had done enough to play round 1.

Will he play this week?

 

[sheller891]

should i get rid of coughlan for syliva or gram and then update hale to cox or merett to lloyd?

 

[Effes]

Any update saints fans on whether the half back flanker will be fit to go this week?

Alot of Demons fans are asking the same question...and it's got nothing to do with DreamTeam.

 

[Thunderstruck]

X. Clarke.

This man was a certain pick for me until I saw he was injured. Screwed my side a bit would be nice to see him ready. But wont pick him up just yet.

Tossing up a few trades, namely get rid of Merret for possibly Gibson, swap Thomas to the starting lineup and then get rid of Salopek for Gram. But will wait one more week b4 doing so. If any get an injury I'd b spewing.

Best to NOT be reactive when trading, sure ur gunna get players who have a bad week but don't go rushing off trading them straight away (unless they are injured and will not play next few weeks) because they are likely to improve. That said best to make the necessary changes to ur side b4 the prices all change. Just all about balance.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Just all about balance.

Exactly why I have not made a trade and why X Clarke will not get near my side

 

[sainter]

He did his hammy 3 times last year so he was always going to be a risk.

He's available for tomorrow night, we'll find out in the next couple of hours if he's to be rushed straight back into the team or given a chance to get some match fitness in the VFL.

Not the best of our midfields. But i highly doubt they wil line-up like that.
We need some grunt on the ball as we are playing Brisbane. The Johnnos, Peverill, maybe even McVeigh are all better choices than Watson.
Furthermore, surely that is not the team?
Even if Hird is not playing, they should still put him in the line-up.
Do you mind telling me what source you got that line-up from?

Another Question: How many games will Ryder play this year?

 

[theone5]

Another Question: How many games will Ryder play this year?

IMO, once Laycock comes back from injury, which shouldn't be too far away, he will go back to the VFL and play for Bendigo as he still needs to put on bulk and develop a little more at a high level before making the best 22 for the mighty dons.

 

[Waite_30]

Watts has been dropped, do you guys think he'll play another game this year?

 

[FFC + BBFC = BBFFC]

1. Goodwin
