The Real DT Studs Team
Hi from Dream Team Girl. Dream Team’s alright with me, Dream Team’s alright… oh yeah!
This year I’m putting some studious preseason research to see if I can get an edge over other Dream Team coaches. With all the reference to “DT Studs”, I decided to firstly get some clear definitions to assist in assembling my “Real Dream Team Studs Team” this year.
I consulted the “Urban Dictionary” for definitions of the terms “DREAM”, “TEAM” & “STUD.
DREAM:- “Sexy Man” (Definition # 15)
TEAM:- “You’ve got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think your going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for his team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That’s the definition of a Team, and either we live as a team, or we die as individuals. That’s life my friends” (Definition # 8 )
STUD:- “A guy who is very strong, handsome, buff and/or athletic: a handsome young jock.” (Definition # 17.1) or “someone who exemplifies studliness and is just a plain stud.” (Definition # 15)
So with these elaborative definitions in mind, I hereby present my Real Dream Team Studs Team for 2012, complete with photographic evidence.
The REAL STUDS TEAM
BACKS
Andrew Mackie, Geelong ($392,300)
Premiership player last year. Priced at his DT Average of 79 in 2011, down on his 2010 average of 87.9. Boyish good looks. A firm favourite. Enough said
Nick Duigan, Carlton ($336,600)
A mature defender with a Masters degree in Psychology. This guy has the brains and the brawn. Great arms too.
Starred in his first DT year in 2010. Unfortunately has had preseason injury problems and has undergone minor surgery to remove some cartilage from his knee. Hopefully his body holds up, because DT Girl wants to see more of this hottie out on the field.
Josh Gibson, Hawthorn ($328,700)
DT average of 66 last season, due in large to his player role. Not a big DT scorer, but with that body, who cares? He gets a spot on my team anytime. Love the way he plays.
Maverick Weller, Gold Coast ($247,300) Top Gun. This guy even has the Stud Name. Some pre-season controversy after apparently being detained by Thailand police along with Stud veteran Campbell Brown over involvement in a punch up on the full-moon party island of Ko Phangan. Cinderella Weller should have been home at midnight.
Chris Tarrant, Collingwood ($184,300)
Despite a DT average 37 in 2011, he is the first defender picked in my Dream Team Studs team. Unfortunately, his position as a KPD at full back affects his DT output. Superb physique. Best arms in the AFL. Cute head too.
Nathan Brown, Collingwood ($120,200)
The third “Nathan Brown” to play in the AFL. (Former Western Bulldog and Richmond player Nathan Brown was also a serious stud, just quietly) Nathan is back in full training after overcoming two separate knee injuries in the past two seasons. Looks fresh! Hard to split this stud with his twin Mitch at West Coast for a spot in my backline.
Lee Spurr, Fremantle ($107,800)
“Hot Spurr” is a mature age pick who looks to have the goods. Arguably one of the most talented players in SANFL last year. Dominated in SANFL Grand Final. Named on a wing in SANFL team of year. Currently rookie listed at Freo. Hope to see him elevated!
Michael Talia, Adelaide ($98,700)
Looks like he goes alright. He’s alright with me. Named at Full Back 2011 U 18 All Australian side. Probably won’t be a high DT scorer, but fine eye candy all the same.
Campbell Heath, Sydney ($98,700)
A picture paints a thousands words. Check it out. Washboard Abs. Built like a man and seems ready to play.
MIDFIELDERS
Dane Swan, Collingwood ($598,300)
Perhaps the best Dream Teamer ever. Still a must-have. One for the tatt-lovers. My pick for DT stud captain.
Marc Murphy, Carlton ($551,300)
Boyish good looks and squeaky clean image get Marc a spot on the stud team. Oh, he can play good footy too.
Joel Selwood, Geelong ($540,600)
Again with the boyish looks. May look like a boy but plays like a man. Priced well this season. Set to rise to the occasion as Club Captain in 2012.
Scott Thompson, Adelaide ($538,500)
Holds the title as the hardest man in the City of Churches. Got the best torso in the league and wears his jumper tighter than anyone in the game Will never let you down.
Andrew Swallow, North Melbourne ($491,500)
DT stud in a DT dud team. Sure, he plays in an average team, but the cream will always rise to the top. New club captain for 2012.
Hayden Jolly, Gold Coast ($250,00)
Lolly. This guy’s got a sweet rig. This Adelaide-raised hottie is a graduate of the AIS/AFL Academy. Apparently a very good volleyballer too.
Chad Wingard, Port Adelaide ($157,200)
Exciting youngster. Taken at No 6 at last year’s AFL Draft and should slot in very nicely thankyou.
Dylan Shiel, Greater Western Sydney ($104,200)
The one Giant you just need to pick. DT average of 96 last season in NEAFL. Easy on the eye too.
RUCKS
Shaun Hampson, Carlton ($260,000)
This one gets the Supermodel vote. Picks himself really.
Ivan Maric, Richmond ($262,700)
With the move to a new club, the big Croat could lift this year!
Mike Pyke, Sydney ($193,900)
This Canadian former professional rugby union player was the first international sportsperson in VFL/AFL history drafted from a non-Irish sport. This Canuck is worthy of stud status.
Majak Daw, North Melbourne ($104,200)
Ripped! Stud potential here. This Sudanese Cheese has been a naughty boy out on the town.
FORWARDS
Tom Hawkins, Geelong ($303,400)
“The Tomahawk” is the prettiest of them all. He even pulls his socks down to maximise exposure of those great legs. Dominated in last years Grand Final scoring 101 DT points. Will he finally rise up to his potential? Keen to watch him in 2012.
Lance Franklin, Hawthorn ($503,000)
What can you say? Wonderful to watch in full flight bouncing the ball down the wing. Love how he struts around in his footy shorts. Does it all really.
Matthew Pavlich, Fremantle ($466,200)
The Pav-Lova is a favourite with the ladies from the West. How will new coach Lyon’s game plan affect the big Pav’s output? Quads like tree trunks. Can kick the ball long. But does this Super boot have a Super flute?
Mark Le Cras, West Coast ($426,400)
Oohh Aahh Mark Le Cras. A Guaranteed performer.
Dustin Martin, Richmond ($442,500)
Hubba Bubba Ra Ra! A forward/ midfielder dual position player ready to explode. Apparently those neck tatts are a tribute to his Maori heritage. “Ngati Maru” on the right side of his neck is the name of his bloodline tribe and ‘Matai Whetu’ on the left, is the meeting place of the tribe. He and his Dad both have an identical tattoo, “Live Free Die Free” across their torsos.
Bryce Retzlaff, Brisbane ($172,700)
This strongly built lad has bulked up pre season. He stands at 195cm and now weighs in at 95kg, after weighing 86kg at the beginning of the 2011 season. Named at CHF QAFL team of year 2010.
Levi Casboult, Carlton ($104,200)
Oohh Yeah. Rock The Caboult!! Can he leave the fallout from the controversial Booze Cruise incident behind him, and elevate himself to the starting 22 in 2012? DT girl hopes so.
Lewis Johnston, Adelaide ($158,300)
Centre-half Forward in the 2008 All-Australian Under 18 team. After 3 years at Sydney battling foot and hip injuries, he finds himself presented with new opportunities after being traded back to his home state Adelaide. Judging by this pic, he deserves every chance in DT Girl’s team.
Jarryd Lyons, Adelaide ($104,200)
Fresh meat! Looking forward to seeing this lad flex his muscle. His Dad Marty played for Melbourne.
Apologies must go to the Studs who I could not fit in because of Salary Cap restrictions, including Angus Monfries, Campbell Brown, Jude Bolton, Ryan O’Keefe, Chris Knights, Cameron Ling (just jokes!), Aaron Edwards and Trent Cotchin.
DT Girl.

Nice try, but I don’t pick on looks – not that there’s anything wrong with that.
:(
This website has been fantastic all summer however I know this article is light hearted but still a complete waste of time. I would like that 5 minutes of my life back thanks
Understand your point… but…
1) It took you 5 minutes to realise this was a shit article? Surely the blurb on the front page or the first couple of paragraphs told you what this article was about… ie 20 seconds of reading.
2). This website isn’t just about giving advice all of the time… it’s a community and we enjoy posting articles and reading the ‘other side’ of Fantasy Footy. Just scroll through any other article and comments and see it isn’t JUST on X versus Y, etc.
3). It’s a Saturday evening… go and enjoy it rather than stressing the little things about DT Talk!
Seconded.
I forgot I was taking to a school teacher 5 minutes was just an exagerated estimate. I understand the point of this article is just an attempt to draw on the female community amongst the website.
ok..for the reasons you are posting..I find the article annoying, demeaning, and feeding a pathetic stereotype about us. That article coupled with the one about how us wives are gonna be upset cos our men will be dating the DT God from now on? C’mon guys…it’s 2012.
We are all just people who love footy.
In my case ,it’s the husband who isn’t interested in footy. Big deal. He’s not going to divorce me for it. and..like many other women who like this site, I’m not here for the way the players look..but to learn more about the players, and the tactics, and have fun sharing with others.
It’s disappointing, but it’s also easy to just skip the crap articles and find the ones I am interested in.
cheers.
Warnie has already put u in your place. Give up, move on.
This is so gay!
i agree, tkol is so gay!
So you got toey too reading it… snap!
‘It’s not a fight, it’s an execution!’
Oh Dear Warnie Warnie Warnie, although it is meant to be absolute crap of an article which you have stated. It just makes my DT/SC life more difficult.
I am the owner of the Addicted to Super Coach page on FaceBook, which I started up at the beginning of the year. Now most blokes when they see a chick owns the page give me a fair go but then I come across a few tossa’s that think cus I’m a woman I don’t know jack shit.
So yeah you are basically just confirming that women DONT know jack shit.
GRR@you Warnie!
Still love DT Talk though and I’m gonna kick ya butts in your leagues (managed to get in one).
I do not agree with this comment at all. Poor by you.
Well what do you think I’d say tbetta? Yay go Warnie ?? I’m assuming you are a woman and have a different outlook on it? Please tell :)
And for the record I had a bit of a chuckle at the article too.
I’d possibly expect you to not be so melodramatic. Not once does it say anything about women knowing ‘jack shit’; nor does it suggest or display that. It’s merely a light-hearted and humourous article written by a female.
I’m not a woman, but a good friend of one who plays DT, and quite well (DT Talk’s friend and contributor, @Amanda) and it’s quite obvious to anyone she knows her stuff. I highly doubt she would be offended in any way by this article.
Such a negative comment brings much more negative attention to something that need not even be an issue – its especially disappointing that it’s from a woman who obviously loves fantasy AFL.
tbetta it was not a negative comment, it was more a crack at Warnie for fun and the girl that wrote in ..gees..lighten up.
I’m not worried about Warnie, I’m worried about DT Girl, who contributed to this site with this article.
Good on you Tracey Lee.
Obviously if we say something that we honestly feel…as women…we are either Bitches…(ungrateful) or Bitches (wink) :-D !!
Also, according to some, this article caters to us Ms 10per cents of DT.
Great, lets have a special pink section, and cake recipe of the week too.
Actually…the cake recipe thing might be ok…:
Well, I’d better get back into my place now..I’m so sorry for my outburst last nite..obviously, it must be that time of the month. .I have my apron on now, Donna Reed style, and my hubby wants his lunch.
Coming dear!!!!
yous can all goandgetstuffed!!! :-D
nah…yeah…moving on.
Tkol your comment yesterday was gay. Good to see you back to form :)
“Does this super boot have a super flute?”
One of the funniest lines I’ve seen on the site lately!
Looks aside, she does have a good midfield.
no love for the boy-man Fyfey?
i feel sorry for cameron ling. unfortunately he just retired otherwise surely he would have made this list
Ling should be careful now that he’s retired. If he goes swimming in the bay, he’s likely to get a hook in his mouth.
well, i love Lingy. Not everyone is attracted to model-boy looks:-)
Beauty isn’t just in the eye of the beholder, either – it’s in the eyes of the beholden, and Cameron has attractive mischief in his, and a grand smile. His footy smarts make him quite gorgeous too!
Could be the gayest thing ever posted on here….ever. warnie roy or calvin plz delete thos persons account so i never hav to see this kinda crap on dt talk again
+1
Gay? Written by a female? Dude… that seems completely hetero-sexual to me! Or is there something I’m not understanding from this ‘homie’ Pies supporter?
‘Da’ shit can stay. For realz.
I think the point is your fan base is more than 90% blokes why post about sh*t like this?? You’ve made an error in judgement warnie and won’t get off your high horse and must protect everything posted on this site. Surely an educated bloke like yourself can see both sides here. It is a great article if your a chick
Terrible argument, Recall. You say 90% are males and that it’s a great article if you’re a girl… so we forget about that 10%? Hmm… you say I’m an educated man, and yes I am as a teacher. A big part of teaching is equity.
So just like an article outlining basic DT rules through to intricacies of the magic number and price movement, we cater for everyone. This has been like this from day dot. Not all serious here.
Like I’ve said, it’s 40+ days until DT starts. Let’s move on and when article where you think I’ve made an error in judgement in posting it… just suck it up, think I’m a wanker and don’t visit until the next article is here that you’ll get something out of.
Jumping off my high horse now.
Please.
I think this article has stirred some long repressed emotions in Recall that are now starting to make him uncomfortable.
Even if women only make up 0.5% of DT readers, thats not an excuse to stop posting articles like this. If you dont want to read it…..dont! Its really that freakin simple!
Yeah. And no need to come back and +1 another negative comment.
We want this site to be fantastic. Varied content is what makes it fantastic. We have some awesome contributors and a range of opinions and ideas. WIth so many experts on how to play DT and how to run a website, I’m not sure why we even get traffic.
Maybe having no beer for a week has made me a grumpy man. Time to watch a chick flick and get some more points up before NAB Cup next week… oh hang on, that was a shit, pointless article too.
Good on you, Warnie, and thank you.
Truth is, there are plenty of women on this site.
We just keep quiet cos we feel like we should not really be here – it’s a boys’ club.
So we just shake our heads at some of the unbelievably puerile crap that gets spouted and scroll on down looking for the worthwhile, informative, entertaining, interesting stuff….which there is plenty of:-)
Not interested in sex wars, and won’t be sticking my bib in every few minutes, but didn’t mind the article – even though DT Girl and i don’t share much the same taste:-)
DS please remove your lips from warnies arse
Haha you receive one negative comment and instead of taking it on board like a grown up you get back up on your high horse. You need to lighten up too many years looking at stats has got to ya mate
Ok, sorry. You win. You’ve made yourself look like a true champion here.
The DT Talk boys do such excellent work, making everyone’s DTing so much easier, and you have the nerve, to have a crack at Warnie, because he:
a) Stands up for women and their right to post whatever they darn well please on a non-discriminatory sight (I don’t remember reading a waiver saying you must be male to join)
b) Stands up for the people who contribute to the site
c) Doesn’t take your homophobic comments
You seem to think you speak for all of the DT Talk community, but you do not. Feel free to read all the comments left after yours. Maybe you should find somewhere else to do your DT business.
Oh, and telling every single person who stands by Warnie that they are “ass-kissing sheep” is pathetic.
I personally would like to see an entire section of the site committed to AFL comedy articles such as this.
And here I was thinking I was the only person who picks my team this way.
Haha nice
tbetta, will we be seeing you on Dream Stats this year?
I’ll be around the traps for sure… Dream Stats has a few unique features that I use for writing the Bullets, so I’ll be visiting regularly.
Geez!! Some people on this site really have no sense of humour…
Good article DT Girl…..I dont pick my teams this way but not that theres anything wrong with it :-)
I get the feeling that Straw might pick his Docker players like this tho.
Hahah yea I can’t understand why anyone is getting upset about this. I thought it was a good read and a bit of a laugh after all it just dream team
Yeh great call Steynos
Wow. An article like this certainly brings the “bitches” out if you know what I mean….
Is that you DT girl in the photo, if so hot as!!
Also Tarrent really needs to pull his pants up, I can see pubes
LOL at everyone who is offended by this article! Pity this article makes some people here question their manhood.
This made me think who I’d choose from the DT Talk boys if I could put one of them in my Dreamteam (yes I know they’re not professional AFL players, but the article isn’t meant to be serious anyway!). So…. In saying that I’d have to go with the Warnedawg!!!! But, I’m a lesbian AFL lover so what do I really know about sexy boys!
Interestingly though, if someone posted an article (with photos) on the most attractive girls playing in AFL leagues around the country(and believe me there were a lot of nice ones in my team), would there also be a problem? I think not!
Nice! Tell it like you see it!
Pretty disappointing to see the lack of respect shown to a female whom is merely getting involved and having a bit of fun with her Dream Team. To further add to that, having a dig at Warnie and the lads is below par. They put a huge amount of work into this site, to make YOUR job easier.
Some light hearted humour isn’t going to make your ever so manly dream team any worse.
Thank you Dream Team Girl for contributing an article. It was a good laugh!

Boys you need to remember alot of the posters on this fine site are all prepubescent Tweens who are yet to discover their sexuality and find it confronting in themselves when they are turned on by burning male specimens.

this looks more gay then a german sparkle party?
Do you like to Dancy Dance?
Yes I wore my party Pants.
I like German Sparkle Party
Sparkle Party Sparkle Party
Very Hard core German Sparkle Party
And I thought Team Swan vs team Ablett would be a controversial article. You’ve really divided the nation with this one Warnie.
divided my arse, 95% for Warnie and 5% to the other, you just don’t get it they are trying their best and I thank them for their efforts,and if that means I am kissing Warnie’s arse …….so be it
Well done DT GIRL and onya Warnie for sticking to your guns.
Keep up the good work all
Here, here!
A big thanks to all who contribute to this awesome site, and to the ppl who run it. It would be a lot of hard work, on top of their day jobs.
Haters gonna hate. If u don’t like it move on. Be a taker some place else.
Or, as ur mum always said, “If u don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it”.
……….ur mum.
……….that’s what she said.
@ Warnie, This article is an absolute JOKE, and to be honest it makes our beloved site look farcical.
How can you have any “Stud” team without having DPP stud Matty “The Body” Kruezer. Sure he is a little adolensent looking in his facial features, but if you could only look past that you would see his manly undertones. And whilst we are on Rucks surely COX by name COX by nature.
Hahaha Great write up DTGirl. Very amusing and very entertaining for a saturday night.
On this theme, shouldn’t John Longmire or “Horse” as he was nicknamed be in the team?
My god some people……..
Keep the light hearted articles and the serious articles coming everyone! If some people can’t appreciate them, well then they can get stuffed. You’re not going to like everything you read in life! So deal with it.
Warnie, Calvin, Roy and all the others who write up articles do a fantastic job. Keep up the good work, don’t let a few people who live in a nanny state put you off!
Good to see a woman get some action on the site, even if its not a ‘serious’ article. Tarrant A+++++ but surely not for DT ;)
Its only fair that someone now does a DT wives/GFs article with players’ missuses featured (WITH photos).
So somebody has put together the Stud Team. Now put together the dud team with guys who are hit with the ugly stick, since Cameron Ling has retired they have lost there captain and main driving force.
hahaha loving it! best article all summer :P at least, my friends reckon it’s a good source of eye candy :P
btw, yes i am a guy… no i’m not gay…
OMG, MEN ARE NOT OBJECTS, THIS ARCTICLE SICKENS ME!!!!!!!111!!1 xD
Seriously though, you know what they: “Once you go Daw, you want Moar”. And yeah, I don’t think she picked him for his six pack :(
Just wondering why Mitch Robinson doesn’t get a gig? I heard he’s got a great personality.
I see this article has hit a raw nerve with many. It’s ok lad’s let the frustration out and come out of the closet. Or go and look at some playboy to continue tricking yourself about your true sexuality.
Only a real man can appreciate another good looking man without feeling awkward and getting frustrated.
Or a poof :D
True. But luckily the only pic on here that excited me was the one at the very top haha
Oh Shyt….. i mean the 2nd one from the top ahahaha…….No offence Warnie Roy n Calvin im sure there are some guys on here who would love to be in that meat sandwhich. LMFAO
I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find the sheep stations. Lighten up mo fo’s.
the rooboys are no average side slut
I can only assume that slut comment is directed at DT Girl and not at any of your beloved Kangaroos, coz clearly none of them are DT sluts. There’s no need for such disrespect Dirty_11.
Also a definition of a non-average side would be one that has made the finals since 2008 surely?
Muppet.
Jeepers ppl. Lighten up. And just by the way some guys who use this site and love footy and dream team ARE gay! Just sayin
faaaaark. actually cannot believe some people on this site. amongst all the seriousness and hard work done on this site, they decided to have a bit of a laugh, but yet these idiots are kicking up a hissy fit. you could tell it wasn’t a serious article from the get go, so don’t bloody read it then and shut your trap. I had a good laugh from it, and wouldn’t mind a bit more comedy amongst all the numbers and stats :)

definatly goes into the ‘didnt help much pile’..but not totally useless to everyone,,still wouldnt look out of place on a gay website though(not that there is anything wrong with that)
but warnie has been a bit defensive of write ups this yr,,its a talk back site so ya gonna get good and bad feed back ,and since its you putting it up youd think ya would just sit back and watch peoples responses,not cry when the responses arent what you think they should be,
the person that submits it should take offence if anyone
Defensive of the experts who think they can tell us and dictate what we can and can’t put on our site. And I’ll stick up for the people who contribute to this site all day… plus our judgement of putting articles on there.
Warnie has made a mountain out of a mole hill here it started out as saying it was a waste of time in regards to dreamteam. The article it’s self was well written if your In to that thing. He has been too defensive all year it’s called DT talk. Not ‘DT like what ever articles we put up’
Atleast some one on here understands where I was coming from and arent all warnies sheep with their lips stuck to his arse
Recall and Tuppy sitting in a tree…. So who’s kissing who’s ass???
I think we need Valentines day to cum and go very quickly ….
absolute mcrubbish casey
” will slot in nicely”
Get a grip! Do you read every article on a news website and bitch about the ones about fashion because it doesn’t suit your personal interests?
Pretty obvious it’s not meant to be taken seriously. The “DT Widow” was equally irrelevant, but an entertaining read. Same with the Fremantle Dockers “real price tag” article, but did we see complaints from you then?
Seems your main problem is with the fact that it’s written by a woman, and that says more about you than it does about this site, the article or Warnie.
Can’t believe so many knob jockeys are getting worked up about this piss take post that is good for a laugh looking at the other side of the fence.
Personally I think you are all a bit dirty as this article has now prompted you to finally go to bunnings for a new door handle so you can come out of the closet.
Please do not do this again.
Isn’t that what the doctor said to your mother after you were delivered? :D

What about the dud team. Those who are ugly, I know the captain and driving force Cameron Ling has retired and see how it’s Valentine’s Day and the ugly players need love too. Bring on the dud’s.
Shame Ashley Sampi and Fraser Gehrig aren’t around any more.. They could team up with Lingy and have a GWS style 3 skipper approach this year.
Where’s Aaron Sandilands, DT Girl?, he does wear size 18′s if you know what I mean ;)
Lighten up everyone, it’s a funny article. Besides, it’s not like all she does is fantasize, she actually does discuss their ability and/or potential. It’s actually not a bad side anyway.
And in what way is it sexist? If one of the boys were to write this, they’d get a bunch of homophobes jumping on to comment on how ‘gay’ he is.
It’s the 21st century, and it’s sexist to assume that the guys want girls to be viewed as shallow airheads who know nothing about AFL. If anything, it shows that DTGirl has a fair depth of knowledge when it comes to players, and that she doesn’t mind making a joke.
Everyone should just take a deep breath and appreciate the fact that this article is funny.
