I agree with the Top 10 Picks except for Bernie Vince … He has only had one real good game and the rest have been average. That said, he would have been really good value at the start of the season.
I’d say Houli was also a good pick up but he’s in the same boat as Vince.
Joel Bowden has been a DIX since Terry Wallace ISN’T F***ING PICKING HIM!!!!
Milburn has been pretty dodg-a-ma-phone too.
dtis alright
haha top 10’s with 8 extras, makes it hard to bag you, when you cover you arse like that, good job none the less. id say david hille has been a solid ruckman to have aswell, and the birdman from adelaide, joel macdonald has filled a spot for people in there shakey backlines and done a fair job thus far, and i spose id be laughed out of town if i mentioned jay schulz as a decent pick up
Cooney and Kane have been very solid this year. You can’t call them dix just because they’ve gone down in price a little bit.
that looks pretty good to me. the only one that’s really making me mad is marc murphy. i picked up danyle friggen pearce at the start of the year instead of murphy based on pearces pre season form and hes done nothing since then but cause me grief!!!
im keeping jbrown on the fact that i know as soon as i trade him he will get 100’s for the rest of the year
Ha ha - yeah I covered my arse the best I could. Thought I’d be copping more than this. Good points on Cooney and Kane too. You can save a bit of $$$ on those two though now!! And Vince yeah…. your probably right on that one.
i noticed you have josh carr as the number three DICK, but its not even that neccesary to have him on the list because i think everyone knows that josh carr is the biggest dick to ever play afl football.
Good call wallcob
McIntosh or Hackintosh should be on the DIX list, especially as those who got him did so at the expense of simmonds.
I’ve only got one of the Picks. But, to level it out I only have the one Dick.
3 picks, 1 dick, not including Kane though
where is rhys palmer??? he will rise in price so much!!! maybe i am biased i donno, but id definatley have him and cyril rioli in the top picks
@pamler for brownlow…true that!
i think he made it clear that no rookies were going to be listed, but as a dockers supporter you probably can’t read, so i spose we can let that go.
I agree, Palmer is a legend and already a DT GUN and is a future brownlow medallist, and he is eventually going to be worth at least 300k+ just imagine how good he would be if he was playing in the Geelong team instead of Fremantle therfore I would have him along with Cyril Rioli and any other player that has gained a lot in value in the top picks for sure
I dont think Josh Carr is the biggest dick ever to play AFL football. At least he was won a premiership medal and I would love to have him back in the Port side. If you are looking for biggest dicks in the AFL, you only need to look down at West Lakes and find number 24, the Birdman. He would be the most selfish player in the AFL plus he will always be known as a “squealer” for dobbing in Montogomery at the tribunal. Keep up the good work with the website guys.
Milburn is -58k so he is pretty much a DIX HEAD
What are you going on about. You have missed two of the most obvious Picks in Cyril and Rhys. Disappointing boys.
