Post your teams here - 2011 (Part II)

[JDavey]

B: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Duffield, Grimes, Reid, Otten (Toy, Duigan, Puopolo)

M: Thomas, Boak, Griffen, Kennedy, Mzungu, Wallis (Swallow, Heppell, Atley)

R: Sandilands, Cox (Petrie, Smith)

F: Chapman, N.Riewoldt, Franklin, M.Morton, Yarran, Hale, Krakouer (Prestia, Richardson, Callinan)

My mids are a bit risky, but I think the 4 (Thomas, Griffen, Boak, Kennedy) will average over 100 each this season, and if I pick up Hodge/Murphy/Judd/Swan/Pendlebury or Boyd to go with them, that would be a pretty potent midfield that would be fairly unique. Of course it's risky and probably not smart, but to me, it's the type of midfield that could help win a weekly.

Midfield will be my first upgrades.
Then forwards (hoping a straight swap from Yarran to premium forward who has fallen in value) (Also, Hale and Petrie are planned to be 3rd rucks and 8th forwards)
Then defence last, as I think Toy/Otten will be more then handy 6/7th defenders.

Looking at 7 planned changes-upgrades, and then that leaves me 6 or 7 for injuries as I will probably waste a few.

Am really keen for some thoughts. Thanks.

Petrie is too expensive to have on the bench, thats 100k you could put into your starting line up.

Wallis looked average in the first round of the NAB, its unlikely he will be selected to be in the WB best 22.

IMO Chapman should be an upgrade target not a starter, his price won't maintain at 470K.

I assume Thomas is Matt, can't see him improving to over 100 this year.

Boak is a cool unique but I'm not sure he can raise his points enough

Griffen is inconsistent - if he can continue to play well without dropping into the 60's he could be a good pick.

I don't think Kennedy is going to have a 30 point break out year either.

Too much risk in that midfield.

Dale Thomas

Thanks for the info on Wallis, and the only reason I have Petrie is to swap with Hale, part of my plan is to have decent subs, and they will fit the bill.

Griffens final series was amazing, and he was playing injured, I would be very surprised to see 60- scores this year, as even if he doesn't take the step I think he will take, it takes a poor game from someone of his calibre to fall that low.

True about Kennedy, but his tackling is a strength, that adds 20-30 points a game almost. If he averages 10 kicks = 30, 10 handballs = 20, a goal = 6, and 3 or 4 marks = 12, thats almost 100 points, and thats fairly unders imo. But I do see what you are saying. Is there any other option around that mark?

Or do I drop Petrie to robbie campbell, and upgrade kennedy to murphy or another premium?

 

[nohairandfair]

Ok Petrie is now out with ROK and DIDAK in (provided they show enough in the weeks before round 1). Also gone hard with GC players.

(Harris, Mzungu, Wallis)

Rucks- Sandilands, Petrie
(Smith, Campbell)

Forwards- Franklin, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Brown, Morton, Knights, Krakoeur

[spindleshanks_1]

I'd be glad to hear any opinions about my side:

Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Waters, Wood, Astbury, Heppell
(Hibberd, Duigan, O'Shea)

Montagna, Bartel, A.Swallow, D.Swallow, Thompson, Ward
(Polec, Harris, Wallis)

Green, Johnson, N.Riewoldt, Higgins, Petrie, Krakouer, Dick
(Richardson, Mzungu, Callinan)

Kruezer is injured and there was an article yesterday saying he won't play round 1. Campbell is also a little sus. Personally I'm staying away from Riewoldt, J Brown and any other big forwards as they have burned me too many times in the past.

 

[JBrooker03]

Also, I think Krakouer and Dick will be fighting for the same spot in Collingwoods bst 22, so be carefull having them both.
Does anyone else think Beau Waters seems a bit too expensive this year, he was pretty up and down late in 2010?

 

[cammo6556]

perhaps a bit risky on the backline, but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

opinions welcome

Can I get a bit of feedback on my team? Its not my first attempt at DT but it is my first serious attempt.
In looking around it seems to be remarkably similar to teams I have seen posted so I hope that means I'm on the right track.
Not 100% sure on the ruck and the forwards.

$12400 left in the kitty.

Also - Who would be my best options for Capt, V-Capt and emergencies?

 

[spindleshanks_1]

Gubbz: Hargrave won't return to the side until May. Consider someone else.

Mitch Clark would get the no.1 ruck duties over leuenberger.

 

[Cruiser23]

Mitch Clark would get the no.1 ruck duties over leuenberger.

From what is being said Clark will be playing in tandem with Brown up forward this year only relieving Leuenberger when he needs a rest.

 

[WCE_Phill]

Sun of a Gun: I would reconsider starting Gaff in your starting mids. Looked alittle lost in the NAB cup and probable go through the WAFL as there alot of competition for midfield spots without anyone standing out.

My team:

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, N.Krakouer, Otten, Heppell [ Jacobs, Toy, Duigan]

Mids: Swan, Boyd, Montanga, Foley, Swallow, Mzungu [Harris, Hibberd,Smith]

Rucks: Cox, Petrie [Smith, Moran]

Forwards: Franklin, Didak, Sylvia, SJ, Morton, Zaharakis, Krakouer [Matera, Callinan, Richo]

I have 180k in the bank.

Where sould i use the 180k? Is Morton and Zaharakis too risky in the same team? Or upgrade Petrie? Or N.Krakouer?

Thnaks

 

[Mr Gor]

Yeah that's my understanding too, especially now that Fev's gone

Personally I would use it to upgrade Nathan Krakouer or Foley... and yeah, Morton and Zaharakis is a big risk id say.

Id put Mzungu on the field and downgrade Gaff to a 90-100k rookie... make a little extra coin.

which Swallow is that in your mids?

 

[browncow]

Hey guys. First time playing Dream Team. Only in it for a bit of fun, and to try to beat my mates in our league. Not taking it too seriously (for now), although I'm sure that will change as the season kicks off.

Just wondering what your thoughts are on any negatives/positives with my team. Keeping in mind I'm not in it to win anything either than my league. I think the round 16 bye will be a problem with my current team, but I assume the makeup of my team will have changed a fair bit by then?

Backs - Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Duffield, Grimes, Otten, Heppell
Bench - Coad, Faulks, Toy

Midfield - J.Selwood, Pendlebury, Judd, M.Morton, Masten, D.Swallow
Bench - Gaff, Polec, Harris

Rucks - Ryder, Cox
Bench - Z.Smith, Campbell

Forwards - Franklin, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Lecras, Knights, Petrie, Krakouer
Bench - Matera, Mzungu, Callinan

Couple of notes...

Firstly, welcome to dreamteam...

Swan- will rack up points left right and centre. costs alot, but is worth every cent. strongly consider.

Rucks are ok, most will have Sandilands as he scores 100 most weeks dues to getting 18 touches and 40 hitouts. again, though, expensive

Masten has burnt many many people. be careful... im not saying dont pick him, but make sure you have good reason.

Morton might be in for a big year. keep if you think he will play in the Tiges midfield, scrap if not.

Forget the 12 goal display, Lecras will only get you 80 max most weeks. If a midfield move is on the cards, then consider.

Hope this helps.

 

[splits]

This is probably the 20th reincarnation of my team so far, but the one im the happiest with at this point. My one regret is that it doesn't have deledio..

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Enright, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Heppel
(Toy, Cripps, Puopolo)

Mids: Swan, Boyd, Stanton, Sidebottom, Zhaharakis, D Swallow

Forwards: Sylvia, S.Johnson, N. Riewoldt, Higgins, Knights, A. Krakouer
Mzungu

I suppose my other great regret is no chapman...
Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks Cammo.
I originally had Swan and Sandilands in my team, but didn't like the overall look of the other players around them. I'm sure if I was in it to try to win it, then I probably would have them both.

I went with Cox because he is looking like he has shaken the injuries of the past couple of seasons. I think he can get around the ground and pick up some good numbers.

Same with Masten. He seems to have had a great pre-season and I am hoping he finally delivers. Its a big maybe I know, but if on song I think he can rack up some big numbers, and he came pretty cheap I think.

Morton and Lecras seem to be in the same boat. I'm hoping both can spend more time in the midfield.

Like you said, Masten, Morton and Lecras are all risks, but I'm hoping they can have big years. I guess thats half the fun

Exactly. I played safe the last few years and finished second in my league every time. It was these sort of players I missed out on each year and it hurt every time. Best of luck this year... and remember not to trade too hard, too early!

As a fellow and massive Eeagles fan. Safe to that LeCras will spend most of the year forward again. Hes our best forward and we would be crazy not to play him 80% of the time there.

The art/luck of DT, is picking the midpriced players that have break out years!
