AFL Dream Team 2008: Part 2

[shiva25]

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

So does that mean your going to trade every player that falls away from their BE. Dont know why people bother with BE calculations especially with premium players

 

[shiva25]

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

And when he comes good you will want to use another trade to get him back.Cant see Hills price getting close to Johnsons so youll need to make 2 trades to get Johnson back if you havnt got any money in the bank.Premiums should not be traded unless log term injury strikes as youll end up using all your trades by round 11.If anything you should of got Hill last week while he was still cheap and not now after his price has doubled

Johnson hasn't been getting on the stat sheet as much, was expected when Welsh was injected into the team. I hope he turns it on against the tigers next week, ill take a gamble n put him as captain

 

[Cruiser23]

shiva25, it think you are misunderstanding what people are trying to say. Blues4Flag wants to trade Hill to B.Johnson when Johnson falls in price. No one is saying they are getting rid of him from their teams, they are saying they want to get him into their teams.

Lol, someone needs reading lessons.

Mate, do you think he has little bit of a niggle? or is he just having a lean patch? He just doesn't seem he is playing at full capacity at the moment.

Ok sorry my mistake.Then if thats the case thats fine.I am just spewing cause ive had Johnson from the start yet it looks like people might pick him up for a bargain later on

I reckon he isnt right atm.Just doesnt seem to be moving as well as he should

We just have to hope he gets back to his best in the next two weeks and pulls out two big scores that we know he is capeable of.

It is possible that he may have a niggle. Though a permanent forward position would've been more than likely - he had spells in midfield tonight which leads to me thinking he does not have a niggle, forms just been shit.

Many predicted Johnson's emphasis would not be as high as it was in previous seasons. Western Bulldogs does not have a pavlich, J Brown they can bang it to, our goals come from a spread of players.

Im hoping Johnson does step up but, hes killing me

S.Johnson / J.Brown / H.Scotland / C.Bruce / T.Lockyer / N.Lappin page...

Unless you're incredibly lucky, everyone has a premium/gun who duds it at some point. Don't focus on the fact that other people might get him cheap, focus on the fact that you have an opportunity to pick up another premium/gun cheap. Wrt BE, people track it to find the bargains. Tracking it is the cheapest way to pick up the premiums/guns.

Remember, the top teams are pretty much going to have all the same premiums/guns by Rd22.

The thing is, he is playing very poorly but still is averaging 80 odd. Hopefully his form turns around against Richmond and WC, which by the way, are two teams he has enjoyed playing in the past.

 

[favourites]

If he had a niggle he wouldn't have started in the guts. Me thinks he is just getting used to a different role, with Murph, Aka, Welsh all playing relatively deep he is having to go further up the ground for touches.

 

[BIG FAT BOB]

Decent night for me without being brilliant:

Stanton 121
Cross (c) 184 - woke up to see his score had risen from 84 to 92
Hill 55 - Ah well - Still more money and a lot have him.

Houli 95 - on the bench but keeps the cash rolling in and increases the flexibility - Palmer better rip it though.

4-360

 

[Jolldo87]

Stanton 121
Cross 94
Johnson 67
Hill 55

Overall 335 from 4

 

[Buddyman]

hey does any1 no if kennely's alright?

 

[cpt insano]

last night Dr. Peter Larkins mentioned that Brad Johnson has still not recovered completely from a calf strain. Surprised noone here picked that one up. He'll probably fully recover by 2 weeks time, long enough for me to set up some cash and trade him in for Hill/Rioli

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Never put a 200k player on the bench

Even if its for a guy who's scored 2 90s in a row playing the worst team in the league

i've got a 400k player in the benched named priddis but just slotted palmer straight in in a way i regret getting rid of houli for palmer although rhys is doin alright

whats going on with gilbee two weeks in a row hes dissapointed me and hill meh guess hes gotta have a bad one every now and then and cross well just hope switching from captain cox to cross don't bite back

so far cross (c) - 184
hille - 105
murphy - 100
hill - 55
gilbee - 51

 

[FandangoDingo]

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.

Not sure that trading deserves a smiley face. You've used at least two trades to get two players most good DTers started with, and got rid of another that's gonna be a gem! Appreciate there isn't an emoticon giving themselves a head-slap, but perhaps , or would have been more appropriate!

Yes - but those people with Cox would be a premium short in another position.

Probably a good idea you kept Priddis.I stupidly traded Priddis for Mcveigh who had 100 on the board to 3/4 time last night.Then he goes and pops his hamstring.Great trade that one

 

[andrew4443]

Just for anyone with Dean Cox in there teams, the Sun reported today that "Dean Cox trained in Sydney yesterday and will play"

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

i am versing the toughest peson in my league and want to go higher in the rankings. I am a player down with bowden not playing. So i traded priddis for corey

 

[chickens_law]

Clint Jones in for Adam Schnieder.


GO ROOS.
