Talking Football Dreamteam Discussion Round 1

[Tippaz]

so how we go?

i make out 1826pts with a man down (thanks to Dean Cox)
made Brad Johnson captain - YES! YES! YES! - GET IN THERE!

a fair few concerns though:
- 7 min into the season, and Luke Ball has his head wrapped in bandages... again. 13 stitches and concussion. could miss 1 game.
- Luke Hodge could face the tribunal for a tripping charge. looked accidental and spontaneous, but who could trust the tribunal? Nervous wait. Woudn't want this costing him a Brownlow.
- Pavlich has been reported for striking. the incident looked totally accidental, but any minor contact with the head is frowned upon. he is Brownlow chance, so he'd better get off!
- Dean Cox withdrew from the game with a quad strain "precaution". Should be right for next week, or so they say.
- Ben Hudson limped off the ground in the last quarter. I hope it's not serious because my rucks could be quite thin for next week.
- Alwyn Davey got reported too. He is only a reserve, but i really need his price rise. Not happy.
- Mitchell Brown (twin brother of Nathan J Brown) starred in his first game with West Coast. He should win the first Rising Star nomination of the year. Both players have very similar attributes to Grant Birchall, but i fear i have selected the wrong twin - oh no! I hope Malthouse thinks better of his no.10 draft pick (6 spots higher than Mitchell at no.16) in the near future.

1695 for me, Missed out on Teague and had to emergency for him >.<
And my Captian Goodes played very average.
Though got up on Brades and Sinclair so im happy, they both had same problems as me :/

Ow and how much are you paying for this game intel Tippaz, picking Johnson is like a goldmine like seriously he got like one of the highets pts out of all the players this week :S

I knew that i should have picked him in my forwards..... If Pav gets suspended, and cox dusnt play next week then my season is over. Bloody N.J.Brown. RRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[PAFC]

I changed everything around at the last second to get Jono Brown which included having to get rid of Kerr... Chosing Hodge over Thompson was a dodge move and Embley out hurt me. Still not too bad, I got 1785

[ravadongon]

I think I got just below 1600... forgot to nominate emergencies Meh, it's only pre-season though... Should do better next round.

Anyone know what's happening with Brock McLean?

Never!!
1st week was a shocker for most of the comp.

4 good trades in the next 2 weeks and you're back in the race.

[Sinclair]

arghhh R Murphy had a shocker same as Gram and Raines arghhh u were meant to get me over 1700

[Jimeh]

i scored 1935, embley didnt play

Like tippaz, ball got injured 2 mins in
and hudson limped of the ground

Not a bad start for me would of liked to hit the 2000

[DonzFC]

yer i got about 1680.....pre season form is ok, the midfielders had a bit of a shocker ball,hodge,haselby...i had lappin on the bench for priddis, that shall change this week. Plenty of room for improvement!

An embarassing 1544 for me. Dissapointed as last year my worst score wasnt this low. I think i averaged around 1800 or something. Bad Start and this is why:.............

Goods
R.Murphy: 66pts (For his preseason price, im quite happy with this score)
Tuck: 106 (Good start)
Hasleby: 104 (Good start)
Van Berlo: 83 (Wasnt expecting this kind of score, hope he can maintain it)
C.Jones: 104 (Initially wasnt going to pick him but glad i did)
Pavlich: 116 (Good score, but may get reported)

Bads
Gram: 57 pts (I think it was viddle that said not to trust him)
J.Corey: 71 pts (As my 2nd most expensive player, he should be scoring 100+)
Cox: No show (No emergency ruckman either)
Embley: No show
N.Brown: 0 pts
Hall: 88pts (Forgot to make him captain, need him to score more pts anyway)
