Finals Dream Team

[Skeeta Olly]

I went Scotland over Carazzo.

Stats show he has played better against Brisbane, and is also hitting some good DT form. Then again, you never know..

 

[BartBart]

Bellchambers out, Quinn in for bombers (late change). Not that it'll affect anyone.

So, Essendon go in with no ruckmen at all? Probably best to pick the minimum players from them.

 

[Millington Magic]

Line up is
Fisher, Goddard, Enright, Hargrave, Mcleod, Bower, Hurley
Ablett, Swan, Murphy, Vince, Selwood, Pendlebury
Clark, Tippet
Brown, Johnson, Riewoldt, Fevola, Lovett, Monfries, Brennan.

Not sure who to give the captaincy to.

 

[Virgil]

So, Essendon go in with no ruckmen at all? Probably best to pick the minimum players from them.

This will certainly be interesting. TBH, I have no idea how this will affect things. I don't think I've ever seen a team play without at least one recognised ruckman before.

 

[Papa Juggs]

I've gone Lovett and McPhee. Should be a new thread to post full squads.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Hopefully McPhee benefits from this, going to have to play a big role.....TBH i think this is smart by the Bombers as i dont think Bellchambers is ready to contribute much yet!

 

[Surkin]

Backs: Goddard, Enright, Gilbee, Hargrave, Shaw, Doughty, McGrath
Mids: Vince (c), Bartel, Stanton, Swan, Montagna, Gibbs
Rucks: Clark, Kruezer
Forwards: Chapman, Brown, Didak, Johnson, Goodwin, Fevola, Riewoldt

 

[samwise]

Fisher - will lift for finals
Goddard - gun
Scotland - can score big
Symes - can score big and unique
Milburn - can score big
Mcphee - dont like this pick
Hargrave - should do well
Ablett - captain
Corey - tough pick over selwood
Vince - vice - gun!
Gibbs - dt gun
Stanton - meh
Swan - pendlebury injury cloud
Fraser - can score big
Clark - obvious
Roo - gun
Didak - should be allowed to roam up the ground
Goodwin - adelaide will dominate
Brown - wont be stopped
Fevola - wont be stopped
B Johnson - lots of marks
Akermanis - meh

 

[eddiesmith]

Oh crap, I forgot to pick a captain

 

[mouzer]

fwiw, my team for Week 1 is:

Mackie, S Fisher, Goddard, Scotland, Shaw, McPhee, Hargrave
S Thompson (c), Ablett (vc), Bartel, Swan, Stanton, Judd
Clark, Tippett
Riewoldt, Goodwin, J Brown, B Johnson, Davis, Fevola, Akermanis

 

[Extortion Threat]

Team for this week:
Backs: Lockyer, McPhee, Enright, Goddard, McGrath, Hargreaves, Carrazzo
Mids: Swan (c), Ablett (v) , Gibbs, Vince, Boyd, Montagna
Rucks: Clark, Tippett
Forwards: Chapman, Fevola, J. Brown, Riewoldt, L. Davis, Goodwin, B. Johnson

I'll be pissed if Chappy is a late withdrawal.

 

[BartBart]

I'm surprised not to see some massive Adelaide scores. Not surprised to see ordinary Ess ones across the board. 64 hit outs to 18 - why am I not shocked with that, since they went in with no ruckmen. That must be a record difference.

Glad I picked only 1 Ess player. Probably would have been a bit happier if I went McLeod instead of Doughty, but reasonably happy.

My team:
Backs: Doughty, Enright, Lockyer, Goddard, S.Fisher, Hargrave, Scotland
Centres: Gibbs, Thmonpson, Swan (v), Stanton, Ablett(c), Bartel
Ricks: Clark, Kruezer
Forwards: Brennan, Didak, Riewoldt, B.Johnson, Brown, Porplyzia, Akermanis

 

[bilza069]

B: Enright, Lake, McPhee, A Walker, Goddard, Hargrave, Scotland
M: Corey, Vince, Ablett (c), Boyd, Swan, Montagna
R: Clark, Tippett
F: Brennan, J Brown (v), Goodwin, Davis, Didak, Riewoldt, Fevola

Walker my "roughie" for the week.

 

[Tom12]

Can't complain after tonight. A solid 86 odd p.p. Nothing special, but its about what I was expecting. Thompson cramping up didn't help.

 

[Robbo123]

my side for this week

Lockyer Goddard Carrazzo Scotland McPhee Hargrave Enright

Swan Ablett Montagna Vince Gibbs Stanton

Tippett Clark

Riewoldt Didak Chapman Aka Brown Goodwin Johnson

Pretty happy with my side

 

[Virgil]

Was that cramp or did he actually do a hammy?

Looks like I was the only one who took the punt on Watson, gonna need some bigg'uns from Corey and Mackie today to make up ground.

I went prismall over stanton and watson, couldve payed off he was 41 at half time but ended up on 50 odd.

[ToroHombre]

Glad I decided not to pick Drummond.

 

[Plugger35]

I decided not to pick Drummond as he was too much of an injury risk.

Decided to go with Joel MacDonald instead as he looked a certainty to play and hasn't missed a game all year. Now he's a late withdrawal as well.

Tough break there Plugger.

 

[Tom12]

Still chugging along at 90 p.p. I'm at the average I'd say.

 

[Ingall]

Oh crap, I forgot to pick a captain

me too
