And the dreamteam site grinds to a halt!!

[MF]

it mean for people who haven't entered their team, you can enter it on monday. but we will be down by 1700 points from first place

And 4 trades by the look of it.

 

[treefingers]

lol at reading others misfortunes. not meant to sound sadistic but you did know it was going to happen. I had my team finalised by 5 and didnt bother logging on again.

 

[Dime]

Thank the lord.

My team is still there, my trade didn't go through so I still have Barlow but at least I have a team. Scotty Thompson covering for me like many others it seems.

Don't worry you don't sound sadistic. You just sound like a ****ing arseh*le

Thats Bullsh*t

I think we need mass email complaints

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

I was almost finished finalising my team with just one more player left to choose. As I clicked to pick the player the site went down due to the teams being released and I didn't manage to get on again. So now since I was 1 short I have no team!

If I they don't give me an average for round one and give me 0 then I am going to be very pissed off.

They could have extended lockout by half an hour.

It's not like anyones gonna go changing a player over some Carlton or Richmond players form in the first quarter!

No captain in SC, or Emergencies. And no emergs in DT. woot.

yeah but when you lose your captain there isnt a lot you can do. I find it so odd.

just go to the bottom of the dream team page and click "contact" if you want to send in an email. said they will reply within 24hrs.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

My dream team has not changed in a week and a half - I'm very happy with how it's looking. I wanted my squad locked away well in advance so as not to get caught up in the last minute server problems and website meltdowns.

Nice going.

I dont want to sound like a bitch, but **** it. I, as many have, have taken a really long time to get my team right, its been fun but stressful. However, if the reason for my team not doing as well is because of technological inability, then its just not quite fair.
I dont mind if my smokies dont come off and i fail, least then i have no one to blaim but myself, but losing my captain and a couple of players because i couldnt log on ahh it just $h!ts me!!

Yeh, your feelings are justified I reckon.
I was stupid enough to only name 2 emergencies - I wanted to see who would be playing out of McNamara and Bird before I named them emergency. In the end my own stupidity has cost me a zero, with Palmer not named.

Here's to captain Cox Bring on the 150.

That wouldnt have helped though, the site would have just stayed down for that half hour also.. A big window is needed from team announcements til lockout so everyones not jamming it up

hmm hoping they rest cox, haha.

Ill get the rope ready if he gets 150 haha.

lol

Howd you go mate? Get any last minute trades done?

 

[dmc333]

For some reason I have no emergencies, yet during the week i did?

WTF??

Clearly I couldn't get on and find this at the last minute.

 

[fraser25]

you all know who's fault this is right????

 

[KGCC07]

not only was it the supercoach/dreamteam that was taking forever. i was trying to get onto the Footy Tipping Site to enter my tips but didnt make it.

 

[fraser25]

JESUS CHRIST!!

it's all your fault!!

Cheers BW for PM.

With all respect to everyone that is angry and upset, do you see Casha, Nebula, LH15 and co on here complaining? They are the sort of people who finish in the top few teams, and they had their teams finalised days ago. There wasn't a frantic rush to get rid of Proud because everyone in Brisbane knew he was hard pressed to get a game. They didn't pick lots of West Coast reserves because the Eagles were perfectly capable of picking an extremely strong team without a single rookie or debutant in it.

My team is not starting a single rookie, for the very reason that it would be very hard to know who was playing round 1 this year. All of the rookies and reserves I have picked are there because of what they will do over the whole first half of the season, and whether they play round 1 is pretty much irrelevant. My bench has Darren Pfeiffer and Rhys Palmer, who aren't named, and Shaun Hampson who has had knee surgery. I would rather have them than the 2008 versions of Fergus Watts, Lachie Hansen and co.

Just some friendly advice to everyone for next year.

I tried to force a laugh there, but it didn't work.
I mean, they have the VC option, so I've got Pav as backup. But if Cox is a late withdrawal then I'll be fuming.

Wait, who am I kidding? Cox is a definite starter. And if he starts, he will get over 110 at least. Quote me on that.

Totally agree, i also had my team done by last week.

Its the fact i now dont have a captain which irks me.

 

[Decipher]

I log in now and I have a completely blank team.
Not a single journsey.

I logged in just before logout and it showed 21 players (my forward lineup disappeared).
Now its showing nothing..

Anyone else having the same issue? Should I expect it to be automatically fixed up?

 

[The Karma Bus]

This is really bizarre, i have had players swapped from on the field to the reserves when i had left them on the field.. I have also had a couple of players put back in my team that i had earlier in the week but traded out!!!! What a joke

by rested, i mean put on the bench cos we are killing it!! Let Seaby dominate, no chance i would ever put DT ahead of the Eagles.

Yeah i was rolling the Cox/Chornes combo.

 

[nameless]

anywho, will just need a bit more luck throughout the year to get me up there again.

Good Luck all.

Errr, ummm, yeah me too!

This is an outrage!!!

What is Barlow doing in my backline and Proud doing on my bench???

I'm going to write the AFL about this.
