AFL Dream Team 2008: Part 2

[chickens_law]

Guys i got a dilemma...

B.Johnson is named, so should i leave him on the field and have Gamble as emergency?

Or should i put Gamble on the field and put Johno on the bench?

Its a hard decision because if Johno happens to play, i doubt he will score anything good and Gamble would be the better option.

Are you mad?!

Of course put Johnno on the field.

 

[banana_bus]

Are you mad?!

Of course put Johnno on the field.

Thats what I said last week when my opponent benched Johnson for Rioli...

 

[Buddyman]

does any1 no if armitage is fast im think potential double trade nicoski out 4 armitage and then hall in for either riewoldt franklin chapman leaning alot towards riewoldt even though im a hawker chapman wouldnt leave me with enough cash but i can still do it (or even steve johnson but probably nah)

 

[Athomas]

My trades this week were:

Tuck to Smith
Tredrea to Franklin.

Got $75K now too.

My midfield has 3 swans players, two on the bench and 1 as 6th centre. Some would say stupid idea, but now surely I'll have a playing emergency all year

(Jack/Bird/Smith).

Although Jack and Bird will be traded in the next 4 weeks for another rookie and a gun!

 

[KouDogg]

Are you mad?!

Of course put Johnno on the field.

I am not mad at all, think about it, Johno scored 49 last week and is clearly not in the right shape to be playing. He clearly needs a rest and that doesn't seem like happening. Now he may be a late withdrawal, but if he plays i cannot see him beating his last weeks score due to his current injury.

However i will take the punt and leave him on the field with Gamble as emergency.

scored 49 in a half, before being injured.

definately start him.

Yeh i will.

And while i am at it just some final comments before i make my trades..

Bird (on the bench) -----> Hinkley
Hill--------> J.Brown

What are your thoughts on this trade?

 

[jdwood]

I've got Houli, Palmer and Masten and need to start two... I think it would be silly not to start Houli, coming off two 90's but what about Palmer and Masten? Both have been named on the ball which doesn't mean alot. I'm leaning towards Masten as, Freo are playing Geelong... Thoughts?

Also, how fit is Big Cox at the moment? Is his foot still a worry? I'm thinking of locking him in for captain. Without Seaby he is surely to get alot of time on ground and score quite highly...

 

[Stormer]

Ling's out though which is a plus

 

[kenny712]

Yeh i will.

And while i am at it just some final comments before i make my trades..

Hill--------> J.Brown

Not sure about Hinkley but getting JB now is a great time to get him. Vsing Melb, bottomed out and WILL dominate I reckon Hill will peak after Round 6 but he wont go up much so I say go for it

 

[wellst]

What do i do with Gram

I could trade him right now and get H.Shaw
Or maybe like ibbotson ( whos scoring just as well as him )
Then be left with heaps of money to trade out kieran jack to Ablett

 

[KouDogg]

Yeh i aint sure on Hinkley as well but the only reason why i am going for him is....

1- he is playing this week
2- he scored well (56) for his first game last week.
3- Is there anyone else better getting at 83,500 grand???

 

[the egg]

Well my teams now set for a few weeks i hope. I reckon it's been under-performing with Gram, Brown, Pav and i had Wood for a while who were all stinking up the joint getting 30's 40's and 50's. Looking to score big this week though!

Does Drum play midfield or only backs?

 

[KouDogg]

Does Drum play midfield or only backs?

Is that Marcus Drum? because he is $225,000 grand.......

And he plays back only.

So do you think Hinkley is the best option at $83,500?

Oops thought he was about 100k lol . Had a brief look and Id say Hinkley the only real choice in the 83k range

Not with Palmer, Rioli, Gamble in your team mate they will all reach peaks soon and or not get a game. Plus why miss the chance to get premiums in when they have bottomed out. B.Johnson, S.Johnson and Chapman will all or already have reached their lowest price. J.Bowden, Goddard, P.Burgoyne, S.Fisher, Milburn arnt in your team and are in the best 7 or 8 backs plus they will al drop alot in money over the next two weeks so you either get them then or you dont get to many of them.

 

[Big_Tazz]

i need a response here plz... I am gonna downgrade Hall but i dont know who to, and im

gonna put Rioli on the field... Im thinking:

Hall----> Gamble as there is no one else to make money...

which will leave me with enough to do:

J.Edwards-----> Goddard... because ive been putting up with nathan j brown on the

field the last 5 weeks... and he will be a good emergency, thoughts?

This will leave me with 16 trades left and im sitting at 214th atm

Chappys BE is quite high so he should drop but hey, it is Freo theyre vsing...anything could happen

 

[GeneralDisarray]

Yes I'm one of the people who's getting rid of Nicoski.
Can't decide between Milburn, McLeod or Sam Fisher.

Got $177k in the bank thanks to getting rid of Lucas and LeCras for Aker and Hill back when the first 2 got injured. My other current backs are Cornes, H. Shaw, Symes, Newman, P. Burgoyne, Brett Jones.

Who should I get?

 

[MarkMiller93]

haa yeah i made top 4 in DT last year but atm im 15th.
scoring an average of a disgraceful 1650.
kepler bradley aint in my dt but im wondering when freo are gonna play him.

I also made this trade last week and picked up Gamble for Hall and started Rioli. I reckon Rioli is good enough to be playing in my 22 ATM. Im going to get Goddard this week as well. Its a risk due to the fact hes coming back from a reco but you gotta take risks in this game. NJBrown must be killing your team so I say make the trades
