Check this out… our 1st vs 4th Qualifying final in our league featuring Tackling Tit-ed and the Jethro Tullers finished in a draw! Tit-ed gets the ‘win’ because he finished higher on the ladder. How about that! Pretty crazy!
In other DT news… we can see that the Calvin DT Talk League is still sitting in the top 20… would only just be there, no thanks to Vin!
Get amongst it… let us know your current National Ranking for your team!

UPDATE: And we’re all go… log in now to see who you play!!
If you are in the Eliminator it means you will not only be playing someone in your 3 leagues this week, but also someone in the new knock-out competition that is starting this week! Win you stay in… lose and you’re out! The rules are below and apparently we will know who we are playing ‘prior to the start of round 6′.
- Each eligible entry will receive a ranking based on their team score at the completion of Round 5;
- Each team in the top 65,536 entries will be matched up against another team in the next 65,536 entries based on their rankings;
- In Round 6, these teams will be matched up and play ‘head-to-head’ against one another, the winner being the team that scores the most points for the round;
- The winning teams proceed to the next round, losing teams are eliminated and take no further part in the Eliminator competition;
- The process is repeated with all remaining teams for the remainder of the season, until there are 2 teams remaining in Round 22. The higher scoring of the two teams in Round 22 will be deemed the Eliminator Winner;
- In the event of a tied score at any stage, the team with the highest total score for the season-to-date is deemed the winner - if this is equal, the winner will be the team who registered first in time.

Interested in seeing how some big name AFL Players are going.. like Dean Cox’s “Big Bird” team, “The Rockers” as coached by Russell Robertson or Luke Hodge’s team “The Hacks”. Then check this out… there are some pretty average performances! It is interesting to see some of the structures of the teams… I wonder if they always have themselves as captain? I sure hope Nathan Brown doesn’t!

I have just finished watching the Official AFL Dream Team TV for this week… these are some interesting things I noticed!
- Francis Leach says this about Cale Morton “gone from $45 grand or there abouts, he has tripled his value in 3 weeks”. Oh my god… know your shit! Can I get some cash back? I paid over $100K for him!
- Luke Hodge is awesome - his DT is going well and agrees with Vin about Buddy and his Free Kicks Against! Does Hodgey read DT Talk?
- Matthew Pavlich says Freo’s “midfielders should poll well and get a few votes” for Dream Team. Poor bloke, had no idea about DT!
Here’s the link: http://bigpondvideo.com/afl/45886 and if you haven’t watched the completely unofficial DT Talk for this week, then click here!

We’ve anticipated the release of the Aurion V6 AFL Dream Team 2008 game for a long time now, but it’s finally here and we’ve now had time to digest the info and looks as though there are some awesome new features! A new ‘Eliminator‘ game which will add another competitive element to the game (be quick - you need to be in the top 131,072 people entered with a full team). Also, as reported back in the Pre-Season Episode 2 of DT Talk, you can watch your team’s score live while the games are being played. Below are some of the awesome new features with AFL Dream Team in 2008:
WHAT’S NEW IN 2008?
The Aurion V6 AFL Dream Team returns for 2008 with a hot list of new features including:
LIVE STATS - through the Dream Team Live inteface via your Leagues page, your team and players will score live while mathces are in progress throughout the weekend. Individual player scores and your team’s indicative score totals will be updated live!
PLUS from Round 4, look out for LIVE league head-to-head match ups, with live scores and player match-ups between your Team and your league opponent. Live league scoring from all match-ups in your private leagues will be available later in the season.
Edit your team via your Telstra NextG mobile phone by making trades and substitutions from anywhere. Plus live player scores direct to your mobile, whether you’re out and about (or even at the footy!) - never miss a moment of Dream Team action!
Dream Team Eliminator - be one of the first 131,072 teams to register and you are automatically entered in Dream Team Eliminator, the new ‘League of Champions’ knockout competition! From Round 6, your Dream Team will be matched up with another Team and play-off, based on your previous round ranking. WIN your match and proceed to the next Round - LOSE and it’s the end of the road, with your team being eliminated.
Create or join up to THREE Private or Public Leagues with your single team entry, in an easy to use and manage interface direct from your Leagues page. Create or join a separate league with your friends, relatives and work colleagues, while managing the one team. Private & Public head-to-head fixtures for Rounds 4-18 will continue to be published weekly starting from Round 1 (you must have a complete team entry in order to enter and remain in a head-to-head private or public league).
Option to select a Vice Captain. A vice captain will now take your captain’s place and score double points, if your captain is a late omission or doesn’t play for any reason. No more missing out on double points due to a late change in a Sunday match.
So, create your team now… and how would you like to play against the DT Talk boys in an exclusive dreamteamtalk.com league? Well… save one of your 3 league entries for your chance to compete for some awesome DT Talk prizes. More details announced soon!

There have been thousands of people let down, pissed off and brought to tears like a six year old on Xmas Day when Santa didn’t come. Now firstly, grow up… yes it sucks that it isn’t open yet and we are probably the biggest sooks out of everyone, however… it will open and there will be AFL Dream Team this year.
Virtual Sports, the awesome dudes who make the DT interface, have developed the 2008 edition and is apparently looking sensational. Unfortunately, the opening is out of Virtual Sports’ hands (the actual site has been ready to go for a few weeks). So, please don’t call, email or stalk them out… they are doing all they can and just the green light to make it all happen!
The only thing that sucks with it opening late is getting your leagues sorted… so why wait? Send out your emails and texts now and get your league of 16 on board so that is all go as soon as it opens.
The other whinge I am hearing is “I just wanna make my team”… have you not heard of FanFooty? On Monty’s fabulous site you can use the sensational Fan Planner feature to get your 30 man squad together. This has all of the official prices and positions… so it’s still DT, just looks different! Once you’re done.. print it out and it won’t take long to pump it into the official site when it’s up. Hey.. change it 100 times like we have already!
Don’t stress DT fans… it’ll happen soon, and DT Talk will be there every step of the way!

The Herald Sun SuperCoach comp is now open for entries… with a few awesome new features! Check it out at: http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/ … DT is cooler than SuperCoach, but this gives us a bit of an insight into what to expect from DT this year! (stuff you probably already knew because DT Talk has all of your Dream Team news that you could ever want!!)
What’s new for 2008:
Brand new team interface. Track your team performance and completed trades round-by-round, visually edit your starting line-up, or use the traditional stats view with improved, quick player substitutions, and more.
Option to select a Vice Captain. A vice captain will now take your captain’s place and score double points, if your captain is a late omission or doesn’t play for any reason. No more missing out on double points due to a late change in a Sunday match.
Changes to the Private League system. If you now create a Private League, only YOU will be able to invite other players to that League.
Create or join up to THREE Private or Public Leagues with your single team entry, in an easy to use and manage interface direct from your Leagues page. Create or join a separate league with your friends, relatives and work colleagues, while managing the one team. Private & Public head-to-head fixtures for Rounds 4-18 will continue to be published weekly starting from Round 1 (you must have a complete team entry in order to enter and remain in a head-to-head private or public league).
New and interactive way to view competing teams, detailed player research, game information and more, without losing focus of the page you’re viewing or while editing your team.
Plus plenty more all-round features and improvements to enhance your SuperCoach experience and all of your favourite features that you know and love…
