AFL Dream Team 2008

[Delroy]

The point I was referring to is more about the team, not the concept. Having Hodge-Tuck-Mitchell is fine IMO. I just dont think having Houli and Dyson is worth it as they both arent likely to average 80-85+(Which you're looking for IMO). If you have both + 1 rookie + Stevens you only leave 2 spots for elite players. It also means you gotta upgrade Houli, Dyson AND the rookie.

Pretty much agree but from the weekend you think Dyson has no chance of being a keeper?

Speaking of game time. How is Ryan Griffen getting the scores he does with 66% game time? Any Bulldogs fans know why he is spending so much time on the bench?

To be honest i haven't really noticed during games that he's spent a lot of time on the bench. I noticed he started in the centre square on Saturday, that's a first. Good sign that he's part of the midfield rotation now, as opposed to half back flanker that some times found himself in the middle.

Important to remember he didn't start full training till Jan, and before that hadn't played since round 10 last year. So maybe they are slowly working his way in to the season. Mind you he looked awesome vs Carlton and Melbourne in the final 2 NAB challenge matches.

Dyson is too inconsistent to be a keeper.

Remains too be seen IMO

 

[La Di Da]

Of course it remains to be seen. No one can predict the future however dyson's start this year indicates he is as inconsistent as ever.

Consistency means nothing when it comes to keepers.

A player who scores 150 one week and 60 the next is always going to be better than a player who scores 100 every week.

spot on.

Cheers for that Butane. Love his barn storming runs from defence. He's certainly bigger - was a bit of a smoky for me but as the worst preformed in my midfield I'm considering him for Jack. Probably a stupid trade.

Purely upgrade material only, might be my might first one out, just hoping he can crawl up to 275k as quick as possible. Should have a big one this week against the scum.

Yeh agree, thats why I got Hall in the end. But Ill be waiting too see if Dysons bad weeks are less than 30 again and max good he can get is 100 ish.

Yeh pretty foolish statement I guess, just hoping coaches dont tag him again (seriously i thought id grow a boob before Dyson would ever get tagged lol)

Hmmm.... not too sure about that one... I think I'd take a consistent 100 every week if nothing but to avoid the stress!

Long time reader, first time poster and I seek assistance with my DT. What does everybody think of:

Kosi - Out Hill - In
Schammer - Out G Ablett or J Corey - In

Or despite two poor performances is Kosi due for a big one...!?

Good trades kosi sucks.

Has there been any news on Josh Drummonds injury?

At least a month.

EDIT: In the HS they're saying 2-4, but a few on the Brisbane board think it's going to be a bit longer.

 

[Hirdy_5]

Just did the breakevens for Dyson on the DT Talk site and according to their " Breakevens Calculator " Hes breakeven is 21.40....

I never put him in to keep, I should have said he will be my first mid to up grade. Soon as a cash cow maxes out and any of Bartel/Corey/Ablett/Cornes are in range then he is gorn.
If by some miracle he can average 80+ in the next 6 weeks then his situation will be reviewed.

I have too many headaches in the backs to worry about mids for the next 4-6 weeks.

 

[the_berger]

im coming 4,825th and not even trying LOL

 

[andrew4443]

I heard 2-4 weeks doesnt really matter though, considering the quality of backline reserves his injury warrants a trade

Not including the first week 80+ isn't a stretch. Thats hoping r1 is a one off

My team problems are injuries, N. Thompson, and not getting Cox. Went for expensive back line but now Raines and Drummond are injured

Yeah, they're a little more pessimistic on the Brisbane board though.

I'm getting rid of him as well. It's hard to justify having 375k sitting on the bench for a month.

 

[dylan101]

there just the three that came to mind that i rate the best.. dylan101 will come top200 this year i reckon

118th overall so far so I'm off to a pretty decent start.

I have no idea why people worry about break evens?

So far based on my calc's (Assuming he keeps up his two game average) he will increase by roughly $13,000 next week.

Kosi scores will suffer having both King and Gardiner in the ruck.

Good week to get Geelong players in as they will smash the Demons this week.
