AFL Dream Team Chat and Discussion: Round 12

It’s Round 12 and we’ve all got one issue or another. Hopefully we can come out of this weekend with our heads held high. Not knowing Mondays final teams sucks… especially those wanting to trade in Gysberts. But we’ve gotta be like the DT coach in Albert Lord PhD DT’s study into Dream Team addiction and see the glass as half full.

The big thing for most people now is that we wait until teams are announced at 5pm today and then pull the trigger. Fingers crossed for Jizzy, but if you are trading him out for Howlett, like me, then it’s a good gamble. If he is to be playing on your ground… well, I would think twice!

Anyway. How are you looking this weekend? Let us know after each game how you are travelling. Chuck in you score and how many people have played. Count your captain as two players, so in total, you have 23 players.

Ahh… can’t wait for Monday to roll around!

  1. 2149 with 2 to come. Didak and Shaw. Was hoping to crack 2400 this week but Montagna killed that dream. Hopefully 2300+ but it’s impossible to know whether Shaw will give me 30 or 130.

  2. anyone else find it amusing that in a week of lots of high scores, its also the week of a lot of doughnuts….

  3. 2297/22 with Didak to play
    Pretty good, considering I had Hunt’s 30 and Jackson Trengrove’s 41, not to mention Brown out

  4. 2234 with Swan to play. Copped a doughnut from Brownie. I’m up 191 and my opponent has shaw, didak, gysberts to play vs swan for me.

    Reckon I will scrape home…. but ive had no luck this year im the highest average in my league and im f**ken 10th! Shaw will probably score 140 now :|

  5. Oh man, why did we ever persist with Josh Hunt? It will take a miracle to crawl to 2250 or 2300 – Swan to come so you never know. Considering getting rid of Hunt and holding off on my Bartel trade. Hmmmm, lots to think about.

    Another thing, why is it that all my mates love SC?! I couldn’t care less about that frikkin game, but they are all smashing it – just wish they loved DT as much as me!

  6. Hayes will be around the 400k mark in a 2 weeks with a B/E of 180 and at 450k now. Can’t wait to bring him in.

    Brown-Boomer/Sylvia
    Martin-Hayes (in two weeks)

    (Have 140k to work with)

  7. my eliminator is a ring-a-ding-ding!!
    they have swan + 337 on me
    I have pendles, didak, Jizzbertz, thomas and neon to come
    can’t wait for tomorrows game!!!!!!

  8. why are people talking of trading brown so early. we dont know many specific details yet, apart from around a month, and surely most people have rockliffe and pods as cover, both more than capable replacements. save the trades i reckon…

    • i would be very surprised if anyone was using pods as cover.

      • pods moved up to a 7th forward for me and my injured players (eg riewolt and brennan) turned into cheaper players like fyfe and playfair.the cash weent to my midfeild and defence
        IF one of my forwards get injured (eg Brown) im am going to wait a few weeks leave fyfe or playfair on and get riewoldt when hes cheap (high BE)
        But that will take 5 or 6 weeks
        hopefully brown will be back next week

  9. 2240 after 21 with capt. Jolly to go, looking for 2310

  10. 1909/18….

    Swan (C)
    Didak
    Heater
    Gysberts covering ball

    dominating so far even with hunts 30 covering maguire and having higgins out. should have put in silvani over hunt. going to win eliminator. just need swan to score 63!!!!!!!

  11. 1817/18
    Captain Swan, pendles, Didak and Gysberts to go, looking at 2350+ if Collingwood tears it up might even break 2400

  12. 2222/21 no that wasn’t a typo
    shaw and didak to come. right now i’m thinking 2350+, hopefully 2400+, but shaw and didak could get me anywhere between 80-250 points between themselves.

  13. I have…

    Didak Davis and Shaw

    vs

    Grimes +184

    Who wins??

  14. 1909/20
    Shaw,Swan and Didak to come 2moro

    Fucking Montagna Captain did me over why oh why did i not listne to Clavin.
    Bartel with the VC makes me cry :(

    pretty average score for me, still in the eliminator.

    i need 227 points from Swan Didak and Shaw. You think i will do it? i think i SHOULD but who knows.

  15. OH YEAH FUCK YOU MONTAGNA!!!!
    CROWLEY ISNT A TAGGERS ASSHOLE!!!!!
    thats all :(

  16. Got a massively queer 2004 from 22 with shitface Katy “Shaw” Perry tomorrow. Ah well maybe between 2050 and 2150. Dad’s team is on 1956 from 19 with captain Swan, Green, and Didak to go. That includes the Brown donut. WTF for a first year DTer. Looking for 2400+. FMDT!!!!!

  17. 2023/20 with swan, didak and shaw to go pretty happy with that with a doughnut for webberly (covering hargrave) and montagna captain ( f**king lowest scoring play of the round so far for me)

  18. 2023/20 with swan, didak and shaw to go pretty happy with that with a doughnut for webberly (covering hargrave) and montagna captain ( f**king lowest scoring player of the round so far for me)

  19. PRETTY PISSED OFF WITH THIS ROUND COMPARED TO OTHER PEOPLES SCORES

  20. 1955/21 I’ve only got swan as captain to go. I’ve already won all three leagues. Luckily everyone I played had more injuries than I did. Only one doughnut in the backline and rockliffe and Hitchcock both played up forward. I’m pretty happy with that. If swan gets 100 I’ll be stoked.

  21. shit i would be having a mammoth round if i wasnt copping two donuts

    still 1942/19 with Gysberts, Shaw, Swan and Didak to go is pretty awesome

  22. I have…

    Didak Davis and Shaw

    vs

    Grimes +184

    Who wins??

  23. 157 down.

    Swan and Thomas

    vs

    Gysberts,

    Will I win?????????

  24. 2108 from 21 got didak and shaw to play so maybe 2200-2300

  25. http://www.insidesocal.com/outinhollywood/,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,smiley.jpg

    test

  26. 2166 didak and shaw to come. hoping for 2300 with anticipation of a heater 40

  27. 1975 with shaw, swan and didak to come. pretty gutted i have two donuts and montagna as captain.

    more annoying though was rioli on my bench but rockliff was only 40 points less so wont complain too much.

  28. 1990 swan(c) , shaw and didak to come. Think 2300 to 2400

  29. 2320 (including Joey’s 60 odd) with Didak to come.

    Anyone else notice Luke Darcy is smashing it this round? 2400+ with one to come.

  30. 2249 DT/ 2498 SC with Didak and Gysberts (Armstrong) to come. All with a Hargrave/Webberly donut, could have been so much better.

  31. 2096 / 21
    Swan and Watts to come

    I’ve copped a chocolate starfish (aka brown donut) as well in there, like a lot of people

  32. Swan + Shaw + 142 .. vs .. Swan (c) + Shaw.

    Down to the wire. Probably get 2400+ and get done at the same time.

  33. 1800/18 with Pendles(C) , Davis, Shaw and Didak.
    2300? is on the cards if Pendles gets 200. davis 100 shaw 100 didak 100

  34. looks like hargrave out next week too….

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/96261/default.aspx

    Ryan Hargrave will be available, as will skipper Brad Johnson – who had 19 touches for Williamstown on Saturday – for the trip to Perth.

    But the emergence of Easton Wood and the success of Robert Murphy’s shift into defence could see Hargrave held back for another week despite Williams’ absence.

  35. ive got Swan/c, Pendlebury and Shaw
    vs
    270, swan
    who do you guys think will win?

  36. 2313- with swan to come. big scores for alot of people this week

  37. I’ve got Swan, Shaw and Gysberts + 102 points

    vs

    Swan (c) and Jack Watts

    I have to win don’t I??

  38. is anyone trading brown and who to????????????

    • if i were you i would wait till after the split round, see how he is travelling. rest is the only thing that is going to help him and his got it coming. keep him! i dont have him, and im tempted to pick him up chip as chips!

  39. 1821/18 with swam(c) shaw trengrove and medhurst hoping 2300

  40. is anyone over gary abletts scores?
    i understand that getting a 100+ is good for a captain but his potential is so much better!
    hodge you are my new captain! as you should be at hawthorn!

    • yeah playing out of the forward line has really hurt his scores.
      Hopefully it’s just a temporary thing until Mooney and co come back and not sour grapes by Thompson for Gary’s non signing

  41. I’m on 2173 with Swan(C) and Didak to go. Thought that was going to be a massive score, hopefully cracking 2400.

    Then my mate messaged me last night telling me he was on 2378 with Shaw, Swan and Gysberts to go. He is going to get a massive score and hopefully win the weekly and maybe even the highest weekly score for the year.

    • hmmm theres been a lot of high scores this round but that just sounds unbelievable. he could be in line for 2700 what is his team name?

      I thought I was doing well with 2219 with Swan and Shaw to come but after reading all these other scores it might only be an ok score

      • i thought this week would be a low scoring one. because of injuries. but apparently not. im only on 2020 with Dale thomas left. i had no cover for Brown. first taste of dough

    • whats the weekly prize??????
      is it $1000 or $10000 or something cant imagining it being as big as 10 grand considering the game only makes advertising money

  42. Whats the Latest on Jonno Brown???

  43. Having the most ABSOLUTE SHIT week this week
    1728/20 with davis, swan and heater to go
    Of couse ive had the leadgends onmy side like malsexy, hodge, hall and barlow but besidesthem and a few other my teams doing pretty shit
    JUDD, FISHER, RUSSLE, BROWN no cover thanks 2 playfair and Higgins meaning i also had to take FYFE’s SHIT SCORE. Took LOBBE pathetic all time best of 35 in cover of hille
    5 GOALS from BETTS didnt give him a good score and was expecting alot better from SELWOOD and ENRIGHT
    Could have had a better captain the ablet but i cant choose against calvins number 1

    EXPECTING 300 from SWANNY and 150 from HEATER and 150 from DAVIS

    This is my first year on DT and i have made SOOO many mistakes looking forward to next year

  44. Good to see people are having a win this round. Personally I’m on 1980 with Swan, Didak, Heater and Gysberts to go… I am copping the Hargrave donut too…

    Not going to be the biggest score, but definitely can’t complain :-)

  45. First Riewoldt, then kerr, then seaby, then brennan, then drummond, then kennely and NOW BROWN FMDT

  46. 2048/21 got didak and heath shaw + 50 points, to go VS Swan and Gysberts. going to be close i would think.

  47. mmm 1956 with Dane Swan to come. Should win all 3 leagues somehow haha. itll be close in 2.

    Thats with 3 Donuts too!! shit

  48. Collingwood
    B: Tarkyn Lockyer, Simon Prestigiacomo, Leigh Brown
    HB: Harry O’Brien, Nick Maxwell, Alan Toovey
    C: Leon Davis, Dane Swan, Steele Sidebottom
    HF: Jaxson Barham, Travis Cloke, Ben Reid
    F: Dayne Beams, Brent Macaffer, Josh Fraser,
    Foll: Darren Jolly, Scott Pendlebury, Dale Thomas
    I/C: Paul Medhurst, Sharrod Wellingham, Heath Shaw, Brad Dick

    Changes to the selected side
    In: Dick
    Out: Alan Didak

    Neon Leon to play mids!! Didak out.

    • FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! Will be lucky to crack 2000.

      Ball/Didak/Sylvia/Brown all out FMDT

    • Love it :D

      With Neon Leon playing in the mids, im a real chance for my main league win now.

      I thought with O’Bree out Leon would play mids this week, so I traded him in for Howlett to cover for injuries :D

      Now Didak out as well means he should get a full game in the mids, with Dick taking his spot. I reckon we might see a big one from Leon today

  49. Didak has now cost me my eliminator FMDT
    neede 227 from Swan Didak and Shaw
    well that f**ked I’m soooooooo pissed of now
