Round 1 - Teams, Trades & Discussion

[cossi11]

I have just realised a little thing that may help me score a fair bit more this week. I shall explain once lockout occurs for future reference. A lot of other people may be onto it, but not in its entirety i wouldnt think. im sure others would know, but im slow and have jsut realised so im happy

VC and C?? MPP's?? something to do with the byes??

It's getting all too much - a full time job this DT & SC football stuff

[Hondo]

Yep, but also hoping there are no late withdrawals on Saturday & Sunday.

Yes, you are right it is worth being a bit careful about

You don't want to outsmart yourself into a donut first up

[Lightning McQueen]

The AFL does the Dreamteamers no favours by starting on a Thursday. would be nice to spend Fridat pottering through the line ups.

[Mythical Creature]

Anyone else listing their Carlton/Richmond players as emergencies? (eg Duigan). Idea being leave them off the ground if they don't score well, but if they do, come Fridays partial lockout - trading the expected least scoring player you have on the field for a gold coast rookie who won't play, therefore having the Carlton/Richmond players score count? Bit hard to explain ...

Thinking this will be how I go too. Just need to be certain that noone pulls out at the last minute though. A bit riskier than the VC scenario but definately a good option.

Can anyone see where you can find out your league's fixture yet? Interested to find out who I'm playing first up but buggered if I can work out where to look!

Not available until lockout I believe

Not sure if correct or not but, I was reading that you don't find out until Saturday.

Don't they normally give you a couple of games to 'warm up' - or are we straight into playing each other this year?

[CoverKing]

Usually they do, but with the bye now, we o straight into it

[Q.]

Hird has said Heppell will debut this week, and Hibberd likely to debut next week.

[Q.]

Lower to debut for Freo.

Atley, Richardson & Pederson to debut for the Kangas.

Okay - thanks for that info - I think I actually like the thought of that anyway

[valleys07]

Hope nick lower goes alright for freo, has done all the right things since being de-listed from the power. Q Man, has port confirmed the debut of players like pittard, o'shea, irons?

No confirmation on the Port rookies yet.

Looking for a 3rd Ruckman... is either Moran (crows) or Bailey (Hawks) a chance at palying this week?

Not sure on Moran, but Bailey has played at least one game in the VFL. Could be a chance. I'll probably have him as my 4th ruck. I've found rookie rucks the hardest to pick this year.

Agreed Droppy. In the end I've decided to dodge the popular sex on the beach strategy and gone with Sandi + Vickery with Petrie on the bench and one of the GSC boys as 4th ruck. I think this will give me extra flexibility in the byes whilst not parking too much cash on the bench.

No doubt REB thinks this strategy is sh1t though, like most things I do (and I'm yet to prove him wrong on that one unfortunately ).

Surely Bailey cant do his knee for a 4th time, or would it be a 5th??

Each to their own but i wouldnt have anything more than 100k on my rucks bench, in fact prob on all my benches unless they are a high draft pick from last season ie swallow or conca or gaff...
