AFL Dream Team 2008

[Cerpin Taxt]

Well, for some of us, Dream Team 2007 is over. No trades left, or knocked out of our leagues, we need to focus our attention to more productive thoughts.

What do you guys have planned? I don't expect anyone to give their research away, but there will be some obviously underpriced players that nearly every dream teamer weill jump on. Judd should be very cheap, as will Simmonds and Coughlan.

2007 was my first year and I wasted a number of trades at the start that didn't end up earning me any extra points. I think I'll be more patient in 2008 to begin with, though I'll pay close attention to any cash cows from R3 onwards.

Apologies if a thread like this already exists, but the search function seems to be buggered!

I will be the one to say the most obvious thing

Simmonds must get ruckmen start of next year.

 

[dylan101]

there is someone who hasn't played this year that will be a bargain

by the way i'm not talking about coughlan

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Thanks for the insight
If it's a big name I don't think anyone will have any trouble finding them.

 

[the egg]

Gumbleton
Hentchell
Biglands
N. Stevens
N. Thompson
Mclean

These players will probly be cheap as due to poor form or not playing...

naaa it isnt, he's played 40 games

That's more like it
S.B. I guess

shhhhhhhhh

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Well, he's definitely one. How much does a player drop when they miss an entire season?

S.B....

butler..., butler sam..

SAM BUTLER???

lol..

Good time to start the thread.

There's going to be a lot of bargains next year.

Stating the obvious here, but I hope either the cap goes down or player values go up.

 

[Clanger]

Yeah how does that work if someone misses an entire season? I was thinking Tadhg Kennelly who has been playing injured most of the year.

Yeah, very cryptic

 

[Refried Noodle]

Avoiding Brennan!

Dunno bout you guys but ive penciled in Bartel, J Brown and maybe Corey

Bartel and Corey, no way, too expensive! Brown, yep for sure. Espcially with Bradshaw back next year he should get less attention.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

In terms of guns, I've pencilled in
Cox, J.Brown, and Judd. It's so tempting to get them through the middle, but I think that's where the money is to be made. Chad Cornes is another I'll probably get to begin with, but I fear he'll be very expensive.

 

[lifelike_]

If this year's prices are anything to go by, Bartel will be around 460k. That's a fair chunk out of the salary cap.

I've got Pavlich, Goodwin and Brown as locks atm.

Someone already made one of these threads, but the search function isn't working so I can't find it...

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Awesome, thanks for reiterating.

Yeah their price will be huge actually...but they will still dominate next year either way

[dont bowl there]

Simmonds will be in every single decent team next year.

Indeed, the hudson of next year...

Three of the most expensive players for next year right there.
My 'lock in' players will probably remain similar to this year's first picks:
Pav
Judd
Cox
H.Shaw
Sinclair
to name a few
