AFL Dream Team 2006

[GeneralDisarray]

Swan is captain this week FTW!!11!!1!!!

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Is Bruce 100% out?

 

[chooka_delic]

My final side for the year:

BACKS: S Burgoyne, Swan, J Bowden, Hodge, Lappin, M Johnson, L Fisher
CENTRES: Goodwin, Mitchell, Edwards, Giansiracusa
RUCKS: Lade, Fraser, White, Simmonds
FORWARDS: Chapman, B Johnson, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Watson, Tarrant, Bate

RESERVES: Waters, Haddrill, Swallow, Higgins, M Clark, Ryder, Thomas, Watts

Not the best of sides i know, yet its my first year in this comp and a good learning experience

Biggest mistakes were getting Watts and Haddrill from beginning and not getting rid of them, not getting Bruce around the start, and doing many stupid wasted trades (e.g. Simmonds for Cox Round 5, R Murphy for Lappin Round 2, Schammer for Sylvia )

still racking my brain with a captains choice

Brad Johnson for me.
Narrowly above Mitchell, White and Lade

just said on SEN that he's in doubt and a final decision wont be made until tomorrow.

hall or chapman for captain.
leaning towards hall.

Be wary of the possibility that Miller does play well on him, as he has in the past.

Joel Bowden is my captain. Got Ablett and McLeod back this week. Decided against trading Bartel as I only have two trades left to help me win my league.

 

[X_box_X]

Those considering Lade as captain, I think will live to regret it.

 

[Benno_900]

according to melbourne board......bruce is out.

From a corky? He hasn't seemed right for the last month, has to be more than that.

 

[Benno_900]

Simmonds or Fev captain?

 

[X_box_X]

Disappointing for my Brownlow Medal ticket purchased two months ago when I got him at $41. He has been very quiet for the past month and I was hopind he'd regain some form. Can't see that happening.

Watch Melbourne start to choke. Stay away from trading for Melbourne players in the final four rounds, seriously. Especially considering they have to play the three most defensively tight sides in the comp (Swans, Roos, Crows). Statistics should indicate that Dream Team totals for each team are below average when playing against these three sides.

 

[trueblue_91]

Simmonds or Fev captain?

Both will dominate. Fev will kick at least 7 on dawsona and simmonds will come back to form. If your not sure before lock out flip a coin I'd go the Fev

Partly correct;

Sydney 16th (best defensively)
Kangaroos 14th
Crows 6th

OK, I've just traded out Duffield for Nathan Jones.

I now have 3 trades and $200k.

Should I now trade McIntosh for Simmonds (or Cox...)?

SImmonds. Cox will be recovring slowly for finals and wont get as much game time

 

[Benno_900]

I have a feeling Solomon will come in for McPhee, thank god it's a Friday match.

I only got one emergency and Hodge is no certainty to play either.

I'm already one down (Bartel), maybe two down with Bruce unlikely to play.

Yeh I must say I'm leaning towards Simmonds. And he should have a big game as he's fresh and determined coming off his suspension. And I'm playing a guy who has an extremely strong side, so this is a massive game and I need a big score.

I also have Bartel out allready. if Bruce Mcphee and Hodge don't play IM 4 DOWN!!!!!!!!

This weeks venues;

(total venues used this year = 11, with 1 representing the highest DT scoring venue)

MCG 2nd
Subiaco 5th
T/Dome 4th
AAMI 3rd
Darwin unranked, not used

So it could be a big scoring week, as no SCG or small regional grounds. Interestingly last week was the highest scoring round of the year so far.

I have Goodes as captain, with no Bruce on him he should run a muck.
Hall was my other option.
