Confessions of a try hard Dream Teamer

[northeast tiger]

Trading out Broughton and Golby for Goddard and Bower after round 2. Cost me around 60 points and 2 trades obviously.

 

[Scrads]

Traded out Martin to Chad Cornes after round 2...

 

[Spider Klein]

Initial team changing Marty Clarke and Rhys Stanley to Bugg and Hall so I could free up cash to go Duffield to Shaw.

Not that Bugg and Hall have been bad though but I saw Stanley play NAB and he looked good. But didn't have the balls to pick him thinking a rookie will make more money.

 

[HolyRioli]

Got cold feet on Brad Ebert after having him all season, went with Melksham

 

[pillager]

For starting with Cox, Porpz, Danger, H.Shaw, Martin, Pendles, Swan and Broughton

Whilst not trading Fyfe this week

Bump.

Having a go at me starting with Swan?



Please put more egg on his face this week Coxy!

I guess its different philosophies. He and especially Cox have lost substantial coin and Cox will continue to lose more after this week, unless he scores 160.

The only reason i considered Pendles and Swan was because of there pretty easy run, i just think its throwing to many eggs in one basket when you have a new coach who game plan seems to revolve around less possessions, marks and tackles ect. They also don't look like Collingwood of 2010 or 2011. Whoever didn't get tagged by Hocking today was always going to score well whether it be Swan or Pendles.

I also dont like there last 11 rounds. If you take a look they are all awesome sides who have very good defensive sides ala prevent scoring. The only easy game is R16 vs GWS in which i doubt 6 weeks out from finals Pendles, Swan ect will play in.

I said not long ago i probably wouldn't look at trading either in, however changed my mind and think one is needed. Pendles seems to be way to good for taggers although no Hocking on him today he scores 140-150+.

Cox produced 4 outstanding DT games last year with 137, 145, 152 & 142. Hopefully he can do something similar this weekend to stop the poachers.

Sam Darley. Some unit from the NT told me he had a stomach bug in round one and that he would play round 2. I thought great POD when he smashes it! Still yet to be seen though I have traded him out.

Tory Dickson - thanks Dream Team Talk. I even paid for your stupid newsletter to make that decision!!! At least it means I can trade him for Treloar this week.

Bryce Gibbs - see DTT again. I originally had Boyd and no Franklin

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Chose Watson over Swan for VC loop hole cos I had a feeling

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

Not starting with unique picks like Stanton even though every bone in my body told me to.

wouldnt be even worse of a confession if you traded him in for this week

 

[Sergian]

Robbie Gray traded to Stuart Crameri this afternoon for a magnificent 37. Here I am, the Lord of the Idiots. Bow down.

You went for a KPF against a good team.........

If Essendon continue to play well Crameri will go alright. As soon as they stop getting quality ball inside their 50 he will struggle as happened today.

 

[Sergian]

I forgot Hurley was out and he'd get the best defender. Just stupid, really.

 

[James]

Pre-emptive post just in case this sideways trade goes pear shaped.

Fyfe>Ziebell (will do trade tomorrow, even if Fyfe plays)

 

[Delroy]

Traded Hall to Kennedy. Now both dropped, and considering doing Kennedy to Treloar, which will mean the first trade was worth 30k

Same with Darley and Dickson... will probably be making the Dickson -> Treloar trade, but am getting concerned that I am overloading on GWS a lot already...

Why would u wait til this week to trade him? May as well hang on to him now he's back.

 

[Sergian]

Did Clay Smith to Treloar to see what it felt/looked like.

Forgot that trades are final after partial lockout.

Nothing to do now but sit back and enjoy the profit

Not a bad trade anyway.

If Fyfe isn't a late out or green vested, I'll probably keep him and trade out Ablett instead.

Oh dear...

By the way guys, he is only trading in Ziebell because North are playing Gold Coast this week

 

[entourage]

I gave people advice regarding not making bold trades because they were not reversible, like others, I forgot my own advice and pulled the Kennedy>Treloar trade. Had I really thought about it, I would've waited until next week and done Couch>Treloar this week instead.

*Waits for Kennedy to take Treloard spot next week*

Ho hum, at least it keeps my bye structure in place...that's what I'll keep telling myself, until next week when by miracle Kennedy is still out, then I shall do the right thing and confess I knew all along it would happen hehe

This is true. I have absolutely no idea. Anyone with half a brain will NOT trade in Ziebell this week or make him Captain.

Your not becoming like James are you? where one big score means everything against a weak opposing team or ruck setup.

You may not know but Richmond have a different ruckman this year compared to last year. Im not sure upgrading to rucks especially Cox is really worth it. Im quite happy with Hale considering the rucks the only other player i would prefer would be HMAC. Even Hale has played 2 games in very wet conditions vs Geel R2 and eagles R4 where he was subbed due to concussion at 3qtr. The only bad game he has really had was round vs pies where he scored 68 looking past the scores which blind people.

No doubt it will again be bucketing down in tassie when he plays so another under score will be on the cards again.
