As Eddie would say, “What a big week it has been in Dream Team!” I have arrived back this arvo from an awesome weekend in Melbourne getting to see ANZAC Day footy (shame the Bombers were so awful). It was great to watch quite a few of my DT players running around live and sitting in the crowd watching the Blues and the Crows go at it while I barrack for players from each side… even got out of my seat a couple of times when the Birdman kicked a goal! Anyway, you don’t want to hear about my weekend… so let’s get into the Round Review for this ANZAC Weekend.
The big news is that everyone’s favourite DTer, Chad Cornes (65), busted his finger and will miss 4 weeks (thank god for the week off with the Dream Team game in a fortnight). What was special, was that after doing it while on -1 DT points, he came back out and mustered up 65 points. Bloody awesome effort Chad! The 52% of DT Talk readers who had you as captain thank you! On ANZAC Day, VT’s boy, Paul Medhurst (126) not only got the medal, but was a bloody DT superstar again - Scott Pendlebury (150) would have got the ANZAC DT Medal. Over in the West, Matthew Pavlich (124) was back! A bloke a hell of a lot of people jumped on, Bret Thornton (2) will miss a fair bit of footy after doing his knee early in the game. Don’t we all love the backline!
Some DT coaches will be sweating on some other injuries: Adam Hartlett, Steven Dodd, Tom Harley, Antoni Grover and Ben Rutten. There is likely to be tribunal trouble for Daniel Kerr for his idiotic display against the Dogs at the Dome on Saturday night. Also Courtney Johns, Daniel Kerr, Ryan Crowley, Josh Carr, Darren Pfeiffer, Brent Staker and big Will Minson will have some questions to answer at the tribunal this week. Stay tuned to this website during the week for all the latest information…
A highlight of this weekend, was watching our progress against some random person in the Eliminator. This is a great new element to Dream Team this year… and already, half of the entrants are knocked out!
