AFL Dream Team 2008

Hey proffessor.

pretty much the same as mine, except I have murphy instead of Sherman.

Sherman
Couglan
Butler

2/3 should do. all 3 is too big a risk

 

[Virgil]

Yeah, very "common" looking line up, should match about 10 000 other teams. Still represents value though, so why not? But yeah, all three of those guys is pretty risky.

I got burned big time with Trotter from Nth last year. Prospectus talked him up and I picked him and then Laidley only gave him two starts for the season. Couldn't even use him as a cash cow! He sat on my bench for the whole bloody season

I know exactly how you feel. I got burned by his teammate Matt Riggio. He played every pre season game and then 1 or 2 from memory in the season proper. He sat on my bench all year and did nothing.

It was Lachlan Hansen for me. Beware Laidley is the lesson for DT coaches here!

LOL, well to be fair Laidley just picks the best 22 each week, and those guys weren't in it (I picked both Hansen and Riggio last year ). I don't think Trotter is even on our list anymore, so Prospectus got that one wrong in a major way .

Maybe if they had played him they would have gone further

Just looking over the 2001 draft list and found that both Sam Power and Brent Reilly were taken in the 1st round. Was wondering if anybody would take them especially considering the recent success of Bartel (taken at 8)?

Brent Reilly yes, Sam Power no.

Brent Reilly as a back, yes... Who's Sam Power again ?!

That is the strangest logic I think I have ever heard.

lol stupid soz. i reckon peake from freo will be a good buy if he gets a gig on the wing.

 

[tonemeister]

can some1 help me with my midfield....i always go relativly cheap in the mid

Judd
Cross
McLean
Sherman
Couglan
Butler

Muston
Cotchin

Thats a risky setup with coughlan and butler coming back from injuries, and sherman too i think Cotchin is unlikely to start the season after injury in the tac finals. Bring in palmer and take one of coughlan and butler. Keep an eye on sherm's form in the nab and maybe think about schammer or griffen, hoping he'll finally break out as a good dt'er.

 

[Brownlow Brock]

The bloke was screwed by injuries. I reckon we'll see him again if he has some luck with injuries.

yer iv been thinking about peake/griffen/ray/schammer/salopek/boak to replacement sherman....cotchins on the bench so i dont mind if he dosent play for a couple of games

Connors will be ahead of him, coughlan will be back in the centre and polo will slot back onto a wing after time off late last year. As long as you don't expect many games out of him, no problem.

 

[Blackhawk03]

Any chance of peake/petterd/bartram being named as backs?

 

[dont bowl there]

Peake is no chance...at all.

Petterd would be a good chance since he sort of mopped up arounf HBF

Bartram will probably be a back/Mid.

 

[Blackhawk03]

Alrite cheers. I have finally realised that Chris A Johnson would not be a great pick up so any suggestions as to who I can replace him with within 10-15K. Already have kennely, ellis n symes.

The only ones that I can see are:
Rooke and Goldsack

johncock, gramm?

 

[dont bowl there]

johncock, gramm?

They arent even close to being the same price as Chris Johnson.

They arent even close to being the same price as Chris Johnson.

soz thought you just wanted a dif player....jesse smith? only 1 i can think off thatll be cheapish and good scorer

 

[Quigley]

Mattner, Hurn and perhaps Barlow are other guys you might consider.
