AFL Dream Team 2008

[nameless]

All of the first three lol

Seriously though, Dunn for Dew was my last trade.

The prospectus says that Fisher's a bit overpriced.

I'd probably say Rusling first. Just too many question marks at this stage as opposed to the other two IMHO.

cheers guys, i jotted down some notes from last year on a few players, perhaps i should throw out that piece of paper lol.

If you were going to go with a ruck combo without Cox in it and Simmonds as second ruck, who would you go with?

Ottens. Awesome value

 

[chickens_law]

If you were going to go with a ruck combo without Cox in it and Simmonds as second ruck, who would you go with?

Hamish McIntosh.

I don't wanna say. You'd think I was a nutjob. I've got Simmonds as my #1 but my #2 is a bit left fieldish. Could pay off bigtime but could also end up being ugly. Obviously though I'm hoping the former

id look at players around that 330-350k i think there are quite a few all with a solid outlook.

 

[Beerfish]

Thanks guys. Now a sticky situation
Goodes and Power or Mclean and Gary Jnr

What about Power and Gary jnr lol

 

[treefingers]

What about changing from Cox - Simmonds to Lade - Mcintosh??? thoughts???

 

[rizzo]

i wish

My midfield already boasts Power, Cross and Hayes.

Think i will fiddle around with it more.

Decided on black over Goodes. Black over the past 6 years has consistently averaged over 80. Same can't be said for Goodes.

Now Power will probs come out nd we will see who we can get.

btw which hawks are suspended at the start of the year?

Lade is well past it.

iv got fraser. i think hes a gr8 pickup and when fit should pull 85-90 every week which is all i want. 100 grand less then cox, you cant lose

rizzo, im in the same boat, going to trade goodes but i dont know who for.
im looking at the players you listed, dal and pendels as well

IIRC Hodge 1 Lewis 2 Crawf 3. its something like that but not sure the order of players

Black has a groin injury, I wouldnt touch him

 

[lifelike_]

Still working with my team i was working on last night.

Got Goodes in there atm, but something tells me not to keep him.

Looking at:

Winderlich
Black
Foley
Embley
Salopek
Johnstone
Van Berlo
Reilly
McLean
and S. Burgoyne.

Opinions?

I'm deciding between most of them for my fourth mid spot. So far I've narrowed it down to Salopek, Burgoyne, Reilly and Van Berlo.

Thanks guys. Now a sticky situation
Goodes and Power or Mclean and Gary Jnr

Goodes and Power.

Is he fit though?

I've had him the last 2 years and haven't had much to complain about. Haven't gone for him this year though. He does tend to cop a few injuries throughout a season even if he does manage to play on with them..

Pendlebury's a lock for me.

 

[rizzo]

Black has a groin injury, I wouldnt touch him

Serious? Thanks for the info. If he shakes it by the middle of the year will be a massive bonus if he scores shit early

After hearing Andrew's info ive gone back to Mclean. Although that will probably change.

The extra cash has meant i have changed my midfield again.

Now looks like Stevens, Sam Mitchel, Brock Mclean, Lenny Hayes and Scott Thompson. With a first year player starting.

Cheers mate

Thoughts ??

Does anyone know what the go is with Smith's supposed ankle? Could be a factor..
Why not move Gilmore to the ruck and get rid of Maric?
I have a funny feeling Van Berlo and the rest of the Crow's midfield aren't going to get first use of the ball too often this season.
Embley's too injury prone IMO.
Cyril - haven't heard too much that excites me about this kid yet.

They're the only ones that slap me in the face. The rest looks ok

Rizzo I have an identical make up of your midfield. I have 3 Premiums, one upper mid tier player, one lower mid tier player (stevens) and a first year player.

Great minds think alike

 

[rizzo]

no murphy?

Nah. Already got stevens. Don't want to have two players from the same team in the 1 position.

You're not worried about McLean getting the number 1 tag every week?

 

[andrew4443]

From what I have heard from the adelaide board this is what is apparently going to happen
Maric will be number 1, Griffin 2 and Tippett will rotate between the foward line and the rucks

^^
I dont have mclean, i have a player around his price that is much better and less risky

 

[Blackhawk03]

most likely maric n griffin. moran and tippett will probs contribute also.
