AFL Dream Team 2008: Part 2

[adam10]

Should I trade Simmonds down to Krezuer and then trade Porps for Buddy? I have 18 trades left.

Let me think.. NO

Simmonds will only get better when the time is right trade him to a gun Ruck which could be Ottens or Cox(depending who you have)

Porps is not letting us down. Still giving us solid scores and surely Buddy cant keep up this from for ever

Would it be stupid to trade Schneider for Brad Johnson?

 

[SAINTS 4 07 FLAG]

Palmer IMO. Dyson's record for the last four ANZAC day games is shocking. Not one score over 50.

Shhhhhhhugarrr ! Do i back him to to turn this record around or take him off for Bird or Wonnaman

Depends who you have as your forward reserves

Yeah i have rioli already starting and Gamble will come in for Schneider man. I think i might just leave it. BJ is a superstar though.. Its a tough one.

Ahhh.

A first for the year. A decision to make on who to start in the backs.

Hartlett VS Wona

Hartlett had 46 in half a game before the snipe attack but not sure against the Crows defence.

And back to the nice problem in the forwards.

2 of Hill, Gamble and Rioli.

Both of these assume Bowden and BJ will play so they probably doesn't matter.

Same decisions to make.
Going Hartlett and Bowden on the field with Wona emergency.
Rioli and Hill with Gamble emergency for BJ.
Choosing Bartram over Bird and Jack. Not sure on this one but I think Bartram should hit some consistency soon.

Well, personally the only thing I'd back is my car over him at the moment.

But I have Palmer so its a no brainer.

 

[tragicforces]

A, B, C or D?

A: Hurn to Ibbo, N Jones to K Cornes
B: Hurn to Ibbo, Hill to Buddy
C: N Jones to Armi, Hill to Buddy
D: N Jones to Armi, Hurn to Goddard

 

[Beerfish]

Bloody hell.. so many trade options. Its doing my head in.

Think I might just go Mundy to the Chad and be done with it.

Already have Palmer on the field

Hi guys, just wondering if I can get some advice on a few trades as I am having a hard time making the decisions!!

Here is my team at present:

BACKS:
C.Cornes
H.Shaw
J.Bowden
B.Waters
B.Symes
D.Mundy
D.Pfeiffer
-------
H.Taylor
A.Proud

CENTERS:
D.Cross
N.Stevens
A.Goodes
B.Houli
R.Palmer
C.Morton
------
C.Bird
B.Ebert

RUCKS:
D.Cox
T.Simmonds
------
M.Kreuzer
J.Meesen

FORWARDS:
N.Reiwoldt
B.Johnson
J.Brown
M.Pavlich
B.Hall
J.Porplyzia
C.Rioli
------
R.Gamble
K.Tippet

I have 19 trades left and $34,000 in the kitty, so I am keen to start making a few changes to my team.

The players in italics are the ones who I'm looking to trade out in the next few weeks.

This week I am thinking of trading Hall to S.Johnson, or trading Bird to Ibbotson, and then trading Hall to L.Franklin

I am also looking to trade Mundy out at some point for either King or Birchall.

In a few weeks when i have used up a few cash cows such as Morton, Bird, Tippet and Ebert I will try and upgrade my midfield by getting one or more of Kornes, Gablett or Swan.

If you have any thoughts/suggestions on these trades or what I should focus on this week or where my weaknesses are it would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers

who do u think out of riewoldt buddy and chapman leaning towards nicky

Chapman. Buddy needs too many goals for 100+ and Riewoldt had an injury scare at training. Having said all that, I picked Volt so I could do my Ellis-->Goddard trade. Was $100 short of getting both Chapman and Goddard

 

[Buddyman]

when did this injury scare happen? thx mate but i still like the look of nick but chappy is a gun

 

[kenny712]

Wednesday(?) He had tight buttocks so he came off the track. Returned later but only jogged a few laps. Not sure if thats exactly what happened but its close to it

 

[tragicforces]

If you're going to get Chappy wait a week... his B/E is something like 140...

 

[Buddyman]

Yeah Mate Thats The Problem Hall Isnt Going To Score And Ive Already Suffered A Few Points

 

[Stormer]

I sadly just can't see Bowden coming back from this as his old self.

If he doesn't play this week, he's out i'm afraid.

 

[tragicforces]

A, B, C or D?

A: Hurn to Ibbo, N Jones to K Cornes
B: Hurn to Ibbo, Hill to Buddy
C: N Jones to Armi, Hill to Buddy
D: N Jones to Armi, Hurn to Goddard

In the end decided to go with option E: DO NOTHING !

Will stick with Hurn, Jones and Hill for another week for the following reasons:

1. Hurn might be able to back up his 70 last week with another 60-70 score
2. Holding onto Jones for 1 more week will allow me to better assess Armi's prospects for the year - as Armitage has only played 1 game
3. Could be another 90+ game coming up for Hill if BJ is out injured for the Bulldogs.
4. Holding off a week will give me extra time to assess some of the falling backs (Milburn, Goddard) and forwards (BJ, Pav, Chappy)

Hey fellas, just wondering who to start this week out of tredrea and gamble, should i take a gamble on gamble? for some reason can just see tredders having a big one against the saints.. ITS KILLING ME.

 

[spence]

Should i upgrade Tuck or Dyson for Kornes?

 

[Stormer]

Tuck, at least Dyson is getting a game

 

[Grinner]

Tuck, at least Dyson is getting a game

McGlynn and Dew are ahead of Tuck at the moment, maybe Tim Clarke as well. Hard to see Tuck getting another game for a while barring injury.

 

[Beerfish]

Wednesday(?) He had tight buttocks so he came off the track. Returned later but only jogged a few laps. Not sure if thats exactly what happened but its close to it

Nicely worded.

 

[adam10]

Ibbotson or Barlow who to start?

Palmer or Dyson who to start?
