birchall or newman any one?

 

[Beerfish]

Birchall.

Does anyone know what kind of a game Shane Valenti had last night?

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Ricky Dyson could be an absolute bargain midfielder, we've all heard he's had a massive pre season and that Knights is a big fan of his.

He's notched up over 100 tonight with an Essendon midfield not missing much.

what's he worth?

 

[Beerfish]

He costs $201800.

What he's worth remains to be seen...

Well he is one that I am going to work into the mix.
I'm expecting a pretty solid year from Dyson.

 

[Beerfish]

Just looking through my team here and I've noticed I have Darren Pfeiffer on the bench AND starting on the ground... he's a clever boy

I suppose it would be a bit too risky starting him on the ground.. I like his enthusiasm though.

Yeah its make or break for him this season I reckon - no better motivator than that.

I gave Gibbs the elbow for Dyson and saved about 50k. I like it.

I'm not sold on Gibbs.
I can definitely say he won't be in my side.
Particularly with the Blues new midfield of Stevens, Judd, Scotland, Murphy, Hadley and even carazzo.

Dyson was already in my team before last night.

Im finally happy with my team. A few players that aren't too popular around here. 3 gun forwards over 400k, is that one too many? thinking of downgrading one of brown/riewoldt to deledio and keeping pav, then just keep the extra. cash. thoughts?

ive got 2 players in my entire team over 400k. im not too sure about deledio, but if you want money to upgrade later, then go for it.

 

[treefingers]

how much money do you have left over?

( I have 5 over 400k - Cox, Cross, Pav, riewoldt, brown)

If I had a buck for everytime I'd said that over the last few weeks

I've only got 4 over 400k in my team. 2 forwards, 1 ruck (guess who..) and 1 back. Does your team look a bit lopsided with 3 over 400k down front? I think Deledio's a lock anyway. Maybe you could have a look at the teams your 400k forwards will be up against in the first 3 rounds and get rid of the one you think might not go so well, then pick them up after round 3 at a discount...?

I don't believe in keeping cash. If you pick the right cash cows you shouldn't need it.. that's a fairly big if though obviously

 

[treefingers]

Yeah just realised needed a gun back. Brown - Deledio then Mcphee to Cornes. Cant stand Mcphee

I dont think ive been settled with my team at all until now really, I've left it the same pretty much for a week.

 

[murphbf08]

I'm also interseted in shane valenti's points , can any dees supporters fill me in on him?

fanfootys just gone on me, but i have three now i think. riewoldt, cross, and j.brown. ive also got lucas, and have birchall, p.burgoyne, newman, gilbee, and gilbee in my backline with not much left over. is that bad? how many players under 200k do you have?

Mate nobody has a clue about that game last night. Ive surfed the boards on here and the only thing I got was that Newton got injured.

Im clinging on to that thread of hope that champion data did get stats and that they will release them in the near future.

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

Houli is a lock in at his price

 

[Swan4Brownlow]

Houli is a lock in at his price

Can we expect houli to have the same influence once Stanton, Mcphee, Winderlich all return? Also i know you cant expect a guy to lay 8 tackles week in week out but what chances does Leroy Jetta have of playing 22 games and having a good output?

 

[banana_bus]

No hes not

Houli and Jetta are both a flat out no from me.

 

[Rocky Rambo]

Are you trying to be sarcastic?

Nowhere near a lock.

 

[Scott Thompson > Judd]

Houli isn't a lock....he's cheap and a good young player but he isn't going to get scores you need for someone in your starting line up week in, week out. Dyson is someone that possibly can.

 

[Rocky Rambo]

Houli and Jetta are both a flat out no from me.

Yep, same here.

Amen.. I'm hanging for this fabled email they're supposedly sending out.

These are very good questions. Unfortunately the answers are impossible to know. Bearing that in mind, I think Houli has every chance of having a great season without quite setting the DT world on fire exactly and Jetta may well play 22 games (or close to it) if he stays fit and may have a good output especially relative to his price.

We have the luxury of seeing almost a full strength dons team play next week. So the above questions may be answered. If you have cash lying around Jetta could be ok as a bench player (i think hes 150k??). But i think well find that they both wont play 22 games, too much competition in their respective positions.
