In my opinion, lose the ones that are bolded.
I also think you have too many Geelong players. Too many players from any one team can hurt you - if a team loses, chances are all players stats are down.

Also, you want all the players you'v picked that aren't reserved to play round 1. Injured players are no good for that. If you can put players that will debut in your reserves, they will increase in value and you can trade them through the season for better picks.

Captain can change every week and should always be the players that will score the highest possessions. Remember, you can only make 20 trades through the season, 2 maximum per week.

Very helpful.

You very sure about Luke Hodge?
He does get his team out of some tough scrapes.

Traded Kingsley for A Sampi

Sampi is a dud, he won't play this season.

For dreamteam you really want soft, cheap posession getters like Ling, Walker, Heath Shaw etc

Ya, but the problem is I've gotten low on the moolah on it.
If i get rid of Sampi i'll have $172,200 left.
Any good ones for such a low price?

And thanks Mooney d'King. Very interesting. :)
 
Get Jed Adcock in the backline while you can, only $158,000, I think it is a typo or something and meant to be 258,000. Bargain

Thankies. Just made it possible for me to get some reasonably good players now.

Now for choice: Chris Tarrant, Corey Jones, Alan Didak or Daniel Bradshaw?

This is to take Sampi's spot.

first question - yes, why would you have hawkins in your starting team when clearly he wont play again for at least a few rounds probably more..

second - whoever you think will score the highest that week...

third - not really, theres heaps better value out there than wojcinski,montagna,egan etc...

For that one reason your team is ****house!!!

Hey, i have like 3 Brisvegas players in there, purely on playing skills... and recommendation. And I really hate Brisbane :mad: . Espcially when Akermanis was there.
I went by player merit there.
And look, even Traitor Ablett is on the list! And I hate the Swans bitterly.

And FYI, Kingsley was replaced with Sampi, then Bradshaw. So no more goings on about the evil traitor Kent Kingsley.

I agree, i try and have just one player from each team in each zone, and maybe a reserve. If you have a lot of players in the same team and it loses generally the scores will be low so your better off to spread the love if you know what i mean.
 
What do you guys (and girls) think of this team?

Backs
J.Bowden
Milburn
Whitnall (picked him coz I thought he'd play forward more than back, and goals are handy)
Carazzo
Brad Miller (same reason as Whitnall)
Koschitzke (if injury free this year could be a bargain)
Lachlan Hansen

Emergencies
Jesse W. Smith
Sam Hunt

Centres
Daniel Cross
Judd
Simon Black
Marc Murphy
Moloney
Prismall

Emergencies
Gibbs
Joel Selwood

Rucks
Cox (Captain)
Ottens

Emergencies
Darcy
Brad Moran

Forwards
Chapman
Brad Johnson
Adam Hunter
Brad Fisher
Matty Robbins
McDougall
Ben Reid (Collingwood player touted to be played at FF)

Emergencies
Leroy Jetta
Alwyn Davey

Backline looks fairly solid.

3 bulldogs in your forward line is too many. Brad Johnson is expensive because of last season's performance but cant see him repeating that form and goal tally especially with Aker hanging around in the forward line.

Brad Fisher is a dud IMO. Hunter has potential but is not very consistant, could be worth a punt though.

I've seen a bit of Moloney in the pre-season and he's been less than impressive. Better value 2nd/3rd year midfield guns out there..

Good base there though... youve done well

Hey, i picked from a team i knew well.
I don't know too much about other teams. Either that, or their players were too expensive according to their performance. Or just i hated said team....

And whoever said pick Bradshaw, i shall eat ur head. He's out on an injury, and i needed and immeadiate player. Oh well, Chris Tarrant it is....
