Only two in a team from every team? Now that would be a REAL challenge!

In the days prior to the AFL taking the DT over, you could only have 2 players maximum from each team. That was a challenge.
Best thing is to put what you think good midfielders are into forward/defence if you can.

thats right i made the mistake of putting Higgins in my midfield when i could have used him forward.

i think analysing teams as well, players in good sides like Farren Ray have been outstanding because they do not receive the attention of taggers. So another tip; pick guys knocking on the door of midfields in teams that you think will be strong.

I think the only KPP (forward and back) who has continuously got over 90 points would be Nick Riewoldt. Guess it is another thing that has gone the way of the midfielders.

Good points… After the Dream Team season, we may have to add these points in a post of what we learned one year in.

Apart from your points I have also learned:

1) to include players from all clubs, if you just select players from one club and they have a bad game/ form
2) Find midfielders who are listed in the forward line and defense and add them

yeah Jerm, i think i got a bit lucky at times but both you and i being dream team ‘virgins’ will only hold us in good stead for next year. this year i learnt to stay away from KPP (especially young ones, Grant and Gumbleton on my forward line bench), older players, richmond players and to keep a few trades up my sleeve for the business end. in all happy with my first year though…

but truthly to be said Deano, you have been ridding your trades and team short all year. I think you have done very well with playing a few short most games but still getting results.

In other DT news, half of the Saints will be back in which could spell danger as my wife (Royal Knights) plays ‘Sheryl’s Saints’ and 3/4 of her team are Saints players.

Hopefully Steve Johnson will be fully fit by next week

well done to jerm, his depth absolutely killed me. i needed to get a few back this week but looks though i’ll be out in straight sets as Fraser and Grimes are set to miss again, Lucas and Burgoyne out of form/favour and now a season ender to Roughead. had only 17 scoring players last week with emergencies Rance and Sellar contributing bugger all. plus only one trade left….gooone.

Good news is my supercoach team earned the week off with the highest score of the round (cracked the top 1000 for the weekly rankings 2 weeks ago!!) and my secondary DT despite finishing 7th had a 900+ points victory and was also the top scoring team of the round.

I hope for your sake the cunning plan works, if it does, maybe a write up explaining what you did could be in order

Yep, I’d be out if I lost this week, so every game’s a GF to me now.
But, don’t worry…have trades up my sleeve & a cunning plan.

So what happens if you loose? Is that it??

- Lost one my league games, so finished 7th in one league and still going in the other two (include Kick2Kick league)
- best pick up would be Broughton.
- 1 trade left which I may use next weekend for an upgrade to try and get another star.
- I had a few missing stars this weekend but should be back and ok next week.
