AFL Dream Team 2008: Part 2

[Big_Tazz]

To people who have a rookie in their backline, obviously most of those would have had j.edwards. What are you guys planning on doing with this problem? Do you have any bench replacements? i scored 2058 last week with him in my team so im thinking not to waste a trade pointlessly and hope nathan jbrown atleast gets 40. Would that be wise because i would only be able to bring in a 150/60k player for him, which is soooo pointless...

Almost zero chance of getting an answer for this but does anyone know what Symes TOG was last week (and if possible the week before)?

Re: AFL Dream Team 2008

Did you make that team this week? Cause it by far the best team i've ever seen. You must be coming first.

You said it mate.

I don't think he posted that team for thoughts.

I think he posted it for praise.

Well.. I'm not going to praise you even if it is the best team I've seen.

And it is.

I read it in the paper earlier in the week and remember it was pretty high. Something in the range of 85-90% TOG.

Yeah.

Get rid of Corey and Priddis.

They're both hacks.

You need to get Schammer and Jones in there.

They are going to explode soon.

Next week we'll work on your rucks.

Re: AFL Dream Team 2008

i can't pick out of cornes, cross and priddis on who should captain this week. Maybe Pav too. Little help.

I have kozi and cross playing tonight. Hill as an emergency

The only place online I can find TOG stats has been the heraldsun website... According to them, symes has played 76% over the past two games:

Re: AFL Dream Team 2008

I'm expecting a bazillion gazillion points from them but I'll be happy with a bazillion.

Not good enough.

Re: AFL Dream Team 2008

is brad johnson really out or is it just bullsh*t?. Also any news on houli?

plus thoughts on playing bird or morton this week to fill my last midfeild spot and i need one of taylor pfieffer or proud to fil my last back spot
cheers

 

[AdamG03]

Re: AFL Dream Team 2008

Starting 1 of Josh Hill and Cyril Rioli.
Who to start and who to place as my emergency?

Re: AFL Dream Team 2008

Priddis will be one of our biggest DT scorers this season, probably only second to Cox. Considering the bulk of our clearances are done by Kerr and Priddis, he will always score well. Especially in derbies there are lots of stoppages, tackles which = many clearance opportunities. Will suit him to a T this week. I'm expecting 110+. If I had him I would definitely make him captain this week.

I would start Bird over Morton as Morton is facing Geelong in a team that could get thrashed. Bird is facing Brisbane.

I would start Pfeiffer and put Taylor as emergency.
Proud is facing Sydney (Dream Team Killers)
Taylor marking one of Melbournes forwards in a potential thrashing.
Pfeiffer facing Essendon and it looks like a shootout between these two teams.

Any help with my dilemma? Rioli vs Hill?

 

[jezza you beauty]

Re: AFL Dream Team 2008

need some help,

will be trading for Hill (as most are)

who to get rid of?
Jetta or Dew?

Obviously Dew is out with a hammy, and jetta hasnt really set the world on fire. I see he's been listed in the forward pocket, havent watched the bommers games, had he been running through the midfield and just not getting the ball, or has he been playing as a small crumbing forward?

If i keep dew i have rioli to play for him so no dramas there.
Who will be the better long term player?

Thanks

can i get some opinions on this please

Re: AFL Dream Team 2008

I just don't see the point of coming on and saying what you expect from your players.. obviously you expect the most you can reasonably hope for and anything else is a bonus. Sure say who you've got tonight but if you start posting "Oh I expect 400 from these four guys" all you're doing is jinxing it and setting yourself up for disappointment.

Once the round starts and people jump on spouting their "projected" scores from remaining players....ffs. They actually sound shocked and disappointed at the end when their "projected" scores end up being complete rubbish.

You can't project a score based on players' last year averages (or however its worked out) and expect it to actually mean anything.

It may as well be a random number generator.
