AFL Finals Dream Team 2007

[PAFCsince1870]

I've chosen Motlop right now. But might change to Edwards.
What is Port's defence like?

small forwards have hurt us all year.

K just picked my team very rough atm

Rucks
MacIntosh
Lade

Is McIntosh really a lock against Lade and Brogan with a week's rest under their belt? I'm thinking Lade and Ottens.

 

[rOdGe]

They should do a weekly team for every round next year, as well as dream team still. Im liking this finals dream team!

 

[Jolldo87]

ranked 205 overall, this week will be crucial

Thats the way i'm going. easily the two best ruckman in the finals.

 

[smmorrow]

I think this is the best team for week 2 (happy to be proven wrong)

Backs

Alan Didak 106
Aaron Edwards 85
Andrew Embley 98
Paul Medhurst 100
Brent Staker 78
Dale Thomas 100

Total: 2526

I only had 10 of those guys no wonder I went down the slippery slide.

 

[jezza you beauty]

Thats the way i'm going. easily the two best ruckman in the finals.

Im keen to get Ottens in the side as a ruckman, but who of the other 6 cats do i remove?

Milburn
Bartell
Corey
GAblett
Chapman
S Johnson

i'd lean towards Corey

Also, who do people think Ling will tag? Swan? Lockyer?

 

[PAFCsince1870]

I reckon you need to keep the 3 cat forwards Jezza and definitely Milburn so I'd get rid of Corey.

I believe you should have included wirra over brent staker

 

[Cruiser23]

Also, who do people think Ling will tag? Swan? Lockyer?

Reading the Collingwood and Geelong boards, it seems it is down to Swan, Pendlebury or Thomas. More likely Swan.

 

[TheNextBigThing]

Im pretty sure last time they played Ling went to Swan and kept in pretty quiet.

 

[Hodges]

This is my first go for this week:

Reasonably happy with it. Might be trading Swan out for Pendlebury if it looks like Ling will tag him. Unsure on Simpson too. I wish the Kangas had some better DT players...

Pretty good. I had all those Cat players except S.Johnson, for which I have Scarlett instead, he tends to give Rocca a bath.

 

[Big Nasty]

hmm it's going to be tough this week - many things to ponder:

Backs:
- Clement hit back with a big week, and H Shaw has been average for weeks now. Will the trend continue?
- Milburn, Scarlett or Mackie in defence?
- Was Jess Smith's big game a one-off?
- C Cornes as captain? Had an average one last game.

Mids:
- Surely Ling will impact Swan's game - Pendlebury instead? He's consistent but never super high scoring.
- K Cornes would have to be a lock, but who else from Port? Pearce?
- Corey to bounce back this week?
- Give Harvey another chance? Not too keen on Simpson

Rucks:
- McIntosh surely a lock
- Ottens or Lade? Going with Lade would free up a more valuable Geelong forward/mid

Forwards:
- Load with Collingwood players again?
- Ablett/Chapman lock ins
- Motlop/Ebert not high/consistent enough scorers
- Aaron Edwards in form, but can he keep it up?

- Scarlett usually runs off Rocca and dominates.
- 1 rule in dream team is... To never pick the teams best player when playing Geelong, due to the fanta factor.
- Corey should be sweet to go this week as Collingwood don't have any standout taggers, and Gablett would be the major focus.
- Kane Cornes will probably get Harvey instead of Simpson, so that should answer your question.

 

[Hodges]

Yeah Scarlett is worth a look this week, but who to take in the forward line for Johnson? There arent a whole lot of options from the Kangas (short of Edwards) and I dont rate Collingwoods chances against the Cats. The ball wont be in their forward line enough for them to get big scores.

Cloke did awesome against Geelong last time they played and Egan isn't playing, so I would go Cloke for probably S.Johnson. Did ya wanna give me some tips on Hawthorn players.

Cloke is already in my team mate.

Nice try with the Hawks jab. Not going to bite...

 

[makingmemark]

ranked 205 overall, this week will be crucial

Just below ya mate.
Obviously agree with ya - we'll need to big one this week if we are to have any chance of the car. But with all these points multipliers, it IS possible to have a big jumping in rankings.

 

[makingmemark]

Thats bullshit, why would you have to win a weekly? Just come within top 10 each time and thats a very good chance.

Something i dont get though
Rank 1797 Round 1
Rank 683 Weekly Round 2
Rank 352 Overall Round 2

How is that possible?

Btw currently ranked 3rd in league of 50.

Any1 in top 500 can win it potentially i think.

Obviously alot of people that were above you after week 1, did a good deal worse than you week2...

Yeah, I'd even push that to top 1000 or so. Big room for improvement with multipliers.

 

[makingmemark]

Whoever wins next weeks weekly prize will be winning the comp. If you dont win a weekly you cant win.

Totally disagree with you too mate.
Need to be in top 500/1000 now and a top ten finish the next 2 weeks I reckon.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

ranked 205 overall, this week will be crucial

Not as crucial as next week.

Also, who do people think Ling will tag? Swan? Lockyer?

Ling tagged Swan last time, but could well go to Lockyer also.

Im pretty sure last time they played Ling went to Swan and kept in pretty quiet.

Yep, last time restricted Swan to ~70 dt point, while Lockyer got 30+ touches.

 

[dont bowl there]

Totally disagree with you too mate.

Yeah you are right i was probably over stating it, but the whole double, triple points thing annoys me.

 

[chickens_law]

Harvey or Corey?

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Harvey or Corey?

Harvey will get Kane's tag unless he pushes forward then I don't think Kane will follow him if that helps at all.

Depends if your looking at

Harvey and Ottens

or

Corey and McIntosh

I'd be inclined to go for Harvey and Ottens.

If it's purely Harvey or Corey, Corey will be the much safer bet this week.

 

[johncocksasuperstar]

what are peoples thoughts on salopek, could he be an option in the mids this week instead of pearce?

i have him at the moment but i'm not convinced about him
