AFL Dream Team 2007

[theone5]

Where do you make friends? You can make friends at work, you can make friends through friends, you can make friends when you go out to a pub.

The guys that have been playing EDL have been posting on a forum regularly over the past 18 months. Although you dont see the other guys in person, I would definitely classify each other as friends.

So even though we started out as randoms (just like everyone does before you become friends), I feel like I know alot of the guys and their personalities as if we were 'real life' mates. We are not close mates, I am closer mates with some guys than others but I interact with these guys dozens number of times each week.

It sounds kinda sad now I have written that, I am not a loser, I have a life. Its just that my love for fantasy sport has taken me to this extreme where I want to be challenged and I want to discuss this game with people on the same wave length as myself. My real life mates are great, they love footy etc but they struggle to come 20, 000th. I was sitting with my mate as he did his SC side while at uni, it was as he was picking his side I realised how much more I knew about fantasy footy. Its not a slight on him or me, its just how it is.

So while you might meet 'friends' through work or a sporting team. I met these guys through a love of fantasy footy. There is no difference in my eyes.

ARGH.
You are not getting it.
I agree with everything you said. Ok.
BUT, imagine if those "close" mates of yours were very very good at Dream Team and you all made a strong, even league together and you could see them on a weekly basis, have some beers with them watching the footy, sledging each others players, etc, etc.
How much better would that league be compared to EDL.

I understand what you are saying, I dont have any friends that are good at DT so I cant really comment. Tbh, I dont think seeing them in person is any different to talking to someone on a forum especially when you bring in the fact that its the best league in the country. I still talk to my friends about DT, we still barrack for our players while watching the game. They all just think I am some lucky prick because I finish top 50. If only they knew the real truth....

Ok, which of these 2 guys will perform better over the season (NOT considering price):

Da Santo
Bell
Edwards
S.Thompson
B.Harvey
Hird
Johnston
Ball
Enright
Crawford
O'Keefe
B.Green
Stanton
Sherman
Watson
Embley
Kirk
J.Carr

 

[TOA.]

Dal Santo would be one.

 

[boe7]

...its the best league in the country...

I didn't know that I could have sworn you were second

These blokes will all have a great year. I recon Ball will have the best.

 

[TOA.]

I am talking about this year.


In honesty, you Simpsons have no hope in hell.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Dal Santo would be one.

Yep.

Kosi is also an option. And consider I am in a fantasy league (draft and players can only appear on one team) and the only ruckmen left are:

Charman
Petrie
Hille
Ottens
Jolly
Campbell

What you think?

 

[Kaiser Powser]

Yep.

Kosi is also an option. And consider I am in a fantasy league (draft and players can only appear on one team) and the only ruckmen left are:

Charman
Petrie
Hille
Ottens
Jolly
Campbell

What you think?

Probably Charman.

Maybe Ottens or Campbell.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

I guess I am wondering that if I don't take Kosi, will I be too weak in my ruck division. It is 25 picks after these two until my next pick so chances are some if not most of those guys will be gone.

I am thinking of taking:
Dal Santo/ Ball/ S.Thompson/ Edwards
and
Kosi

Any other thoughts?

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

How do people think Kosi will do this year?

 

[Marco]

Hey does anyone know a site that shows pre-season stats?

 

[m0nty]

Get on board Aaron Edwards...

 

[borgy]

Get on board Aaron Edwards...

Yeah, agreed

 

[Drummond]

Get on board Aaron Edwards...

Nope.

 

[nameless]

Enter Aaron Edwards

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Edwards not for me.

I must say watching a relatively nothing match with mates who are in your league is great. Every possie ur player gets who the others dont have is golden.

I remeber last year, my mates were giving it to me for having Lloyd from the start. After that first qtr against sydney i was absolutely giving it to em!

 

[Marco]

so who our sleepers this year?

 

[Mordecai]

why no to edwards?

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Pick 2:

Ball
Da Santo
Kosi
Bell
T.Edwards
S.Thompson

??

 

[dont bowl there]

You would be stupid not to have Edwards as one of your foward ressies.

 

[BlueZippy]

Is Hodge fit?

 

[LukeHodge15]

You would be stupid not to have Edwards as one of your foward ressies.

Thanks for the help, but i wont be touching him either. Just because Thomo goes down doesnt make him a better footballer. Oppotunity arises but his talent doesnt go up.
