AFL Dream Team 2008

True, there is no chance I will keep the same team I have now. I just hope that the teams for sat/sun get posted before the DT lockout.

100 bucks and my right nut says that doesn't happen....

a game based on DT

 

[Hard Ball Get]

They think they know but I suspect they're really just guessing because they can't wait to make a team and post it for everyone to comment on.

I'll wait for DT to open before I make a team but each to his own. It is fun but personally I just can't be stuffed when it doesn't mean anything.

Spot on.

Last years salary cap etc. Even though it changes every year.

 

[deledio_gun]

So which teams should be out in round 1 before lockout? how many people will tend to choose draft picks picked in those named over ones which may/may not play on sunday for example?

Wont be happening. The season starts on a Thursday so the full teams wont be in by lockout. For the life of me I cant understand why they have fixtured two games on the Thusday though? The Carlton vs Richmond game is down as a twilight and the Port vs Geelong game will be later that night.

Well the first three are great...after that:

Fevola - Struggles in DT
Rusling - Is just an average player
Thompson - Never been a great DT player, coming back from knee reco.
Cotchin - Wont play that many games this year.

Who is a better option around fevs price? maybe a bit more expensive but not much more

Didak Monfries both cheaper. Tarrant, could be a good pick up, is a little more expensive.

If Barry Hall decides to pull his finger out this season, he might be okay. I'm also wondering if Akermanis might get his hands on it a bit more this season

 

[Blackhawk03]

Is anyone thinking of going near the lesser ruckman ie Hudson/Sandilands/Charman? Seeing as every1 is always on the DT thread can u give me an SC answer also.

This year's wildly popular cheapo #2 ruck will be Simmonds.

Pretty good team H2G, but does it fit under the salary cap ??
You've got 4 injury prone players in your team, I suggest taking one of them out to make it 3 and replacing it with a reliable scorer....Maybe drop one out of Riewoldt, Brown or Pavlich and you can free up some money in another position, and your midfield looks to me where you need it most...

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

no 1 cares h2g.

i have done dreamteam once. It was terrible. I came like 4th in my league filled with idiots. I am not good at dreamteam, thats why i am looking for advise. Whats wrong with that? It's in the dreamteam thread

I wouldn't have Kreuzer on the field because he's not guarenteed a match every round...Cut down the number of injury prone players I highleted in bold, and you should have yourself a not a bad team...

yeh i figured i might take a risk with kreuzer..plus i have meeson and luenberger to back him up.
I reckon thompson, coughlan and burton are fine as they are having a great pre season so far....just concerned about butler.
btw thompson was probs able to play in the last game last year so he should no doubt be 100%, plus he is cheap as

Never bought one so thought I'd give it a try. Also the $40 Sportsbet voucher that comes with it could make up the difference anyway with one well placed bet.
