Judd, Goodwin, Sandi, Hall

[h_fenner]

Had some problems lately missing these guys and more; does anyone have any mail on whether Judd, Goodwin, Sandilands and Hall will be playing - and what do people think of NGB, looks to good to pass up - but crucial at this time of year... we don't want a hotspot for Fantasy followers and general AFL supporters alike...

Goodwin is more than likely going to play as is Sandilands. Judd is 50-50 and Hall, well no one knows.

Thanks Brades, hows your team going and what do you think of NGB? You and Tippaz are true Dream Teamers. I had 8 out of my 1st choice lin-up last week and slipped to 3000th over all...

[Brades]

Hehe, I'm not that good. I had a good week but I'm miles down due to injuries. I'm going to get Brown this week for Franklin I think. Or Hunter one of the two, but i only have like 4 trades left and I want to get another Midfielder or backline player.

Hall will play and Judd should.

99.9% of dreamteam coaches will think richmond's Nathan Brown could be a move of inspired genius.
however, i am of the belief that it's a move of complete madness, and bordering insanity. doesn't anyone remember about Warren Tredrea last year?!? How about Michael Gardiner?!?

i would only buy into him in an act of total desperation, OR... if i needed a complete structural change. (just like LM's Brisbane Dragons, who needs to fix his reserves)

... Brown is a Dreamteam player all the time, Gardiner and Tredrea are not. Get it right Tippaz for once will you?

Brown did average over 100 for the first 9 rounds in DT 2 years ago before he injured his leg, so he has proven (although over a short period of time) that he can be a DT'er. Generally with serious LT injuries like broken legs and knee recos, it takes around 2 seasons for the player to get back to some good footy (we've seen that with Rodan and Lappin in particular this year - and possibly NGB if he keeps this up). Unfortunately I made the mistake of getting Tredrea this season (thanks to that dud Brennan I had no other real options apart from a rookie, which I should've got in hindsight), but I'm sure he'll be a good value pick next year (as long as he doesn't have any serious complications this year).
