AFL Dream Team 2008: Part 2

[Colin D'Cops]

My scores tonight :-
Houli - 95
Dyson - 83
Good start for me so far, wasn't expecting that much from each of them...!

 

[Kaiser Powser]

What a call, i am a superstar
Which noob traded him out?

Seriously funny that people were trading him out after one bad game where he was going in under an injury cloud.

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

nah i mean the bigfooty DT cup: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=423113


yep ya gotta love that! And 92 will be far from the worse captain score this weekend.

Haha apart from the individual league divisions I didn't even realise a 'BigFooty Cup' was set up. May the best man win!

Oh dear, I wonder how many tossed out Houli this week??

I did, and not regretting it one week. The game today was very open which meant more marks than he usually takes. I see him averaging around the 70 mark, as he generally doesn't get high scores even when he racks it up.

Besides, Palmer and Cox would be a slightly better combo then Houli and Wood, I would think.

Yep thats me... well not exactly. I had Houli on and just swapped him for Palmer so Houli was my emerg...


Hopefully Palmer has a cruise out there

Obviously Palmer and Cox would be a better combo, it is more expensive.
Value of Palmer and Cox = 550k
Value of Houli and Wood = 390k

 

[Drummond]

The Dyson/Houli traders must be feeling rather ill now

Kept both. Phew.

Dyson starting, Houli on the bench.

Bit annoyed about Houli on the pine, but at least I've still got him and his price will rise.

Tell me, why the heck would you trade out a guy at 200k that's going to average 70? That's very good.

 

[Cruiser23]

Brad Johnson is starting to really shit me, Cross was good again and Hill did what I expected.

Tell me about it. It seems he is lacking a little confidence for some reason, hopefully he doesn't get dropped.

Maybe Welsh is stealing his points this year?

70 might have been a tad high, but simple answer: I don't feel he's 110k better than Palmer. Hell, I expect Palmer to average more over the course of the season, or at the least equal to Houli.

Had Cross, Aker and Dyson all in the game tonight, Dyson would be heading for 120+ points every week if he put four consistent quarters together rather then drifting in and out each week

As would 70% of players in the competition...

 

[lifelike_]

Was expecting Gilbee to have a down game in the next few weeks, but was hoping it wasn't tonight. Likewise with Hill.

If Cross didn't handball what he should have kicked then he would have had a good four or five more points. It's not much, but it all counts. Currently 198/3. Nothing great, but I'll need Jimmy as captain to fire tomorrow.

Brad Johnson's an interesting one. Take away the last few minutes of the Adelaide game and he's only averaging ~70. Might be on the way down, but he's good enough to start scoring well again.

Chapman's only been the real standout gun forward so far. The lack of big scores from players who started at over 400k is a little frustrating, but I guess everyone has to put up with it.

 

[dplggr47]

my premiums are dropping in price, while all the other premiums that i would want to get, are maintaining or rising in price...

BJ is 32 years old this year; anyone else thinking he's going to retire at year's end?

 

[doggiesin08]

Had Houli (95) and 5 dogs in for tonight. Murphy got 100, Cooney 88, Cross 91, Akermanis 86, Hill 55. Was doing well until i got to Hill. Dissapointed with Cross as captain too. Thought he'd get a lot more with west out. But still just hoping not to slip down (Currently ranked 795). Only have Houli in the team because Priddis is out.

Very much doubt it. I reckon he's got at least a couple left in him. Been below his brilliant best, but he'll his way back into it.

BJ is going to drop $35,400 this week and his BE is 177 next week according to Fanfooty.
Will be my first target to upgrade to

At this rate, with 70k in the bank, a direct Hill to Johnson upgrade in a couple of weeks is looking a possibility.

Don't get to excited yet buddy, the dogs have richmond next week. Averages 93 against them, Brad Johnson is in for a big one.

If he gets 100 next week he will stop drop another 100, he will stop drop around 20k next week to 355k.

 

[kingyubbo]

Houli was good this week! Sucks to be one of those who jumped off the bandwagon. Murphy is looking very good, but I have missed the boat already

 

[Juddy88]

Not to bad- 149 from 2.
Not great but not to bad, can make up for it tomorrow hopefully.

At least something finally went right with tipping got the margain exact for probably the first time ever lol

That would be a ridiculous trade.Johnson will come good as he is too good a player

Actually, it would be a great trade. Trade Hill out for a gun, whom as you say, "will come good"?
