Team Name: JungleMuffin
Round 21 Score: 2239
League Results:WLW
Ladder Position:
DT Studs: JVoldt. Not a massive score, but he’s fought the year out and put a couple of decent scores in over the past 2 weeks when I’ve needed him. Daisy in for Cross 2 weeks back, excellent trade.
DT Duds: Scotland, Smith and Krakouer
On the Chopping Block:
Vent/Brag/Whatever: Made finals in 3 of my 4 leagues. Got knocked out of one this week, which is pretty shit, considering I was 1 game from second place, and had a top 4 spot wrapped up all year long, until the last fortnight where some dud fluked a win. Ironically the league where I scrubbed into the 8, I win comfortably and this week play a bloke who finished 2nd and has pretty much the same points.
Crazy stuff those DT finals.

Hey guys, this is a cool story. I just tanked my team by putting all my bench players on the field. So if my opponent has assistant coach, my projects score is 1860 hahah. Will change it to proper team friday night.

I was just doing the maths then and even with your best players on you will only be good for about 1950 odd this week so I’m pretty sure I’ve got you covered. May as well just put them back on because it will not make a difference

Round 21 Score: 2316
League Results: WWWWW (many close matches, won by circa 25 points).
Ladder Position: 1/4/8/2/3
DT Studs: 1) McEvoy 2) Gu 3) Stanley
DT Duds: 1) Cloke
On the Chopping Block: Potentially Lower in a couple of weeks (was on the bench)
Vent/Brag/Whatever: Studs and Duds judged on who made a difference in unique scores.
1) Trades Petrie for McEvoy to avoid Zac Smith on field. Many opponents went Lobbe. Debated all week whether to trade.
2) Gu on field over Sylvia. I Smith on bench was tempting to play but only cost me 10 points over Gu.
3) Stanley on field over Lower (despite Lower having 96 last week). Couple of opponents had Lower, went Stanley for uniqueness and had better consistency.
Lower was my backup for Gibbs in a couple of weeks…..what to do…….trade now before he keeps dropping in price or back him.

League Result: W

On The Chopping Block: Sylvia, Lower, Otten or Puopolo
Great game from the Big Berger 140 on Sh!t Cart debut and a good win this week. Only Stevie J has the bye with Petrie to come back in. Hoping no injuries and that Sylvia survives the axe from the dees next week and that I can crack top 250.

Round 21 Score: 2277
League Results: A win
Ladder Position: 3rd
DT Studs: Gibbs, Suckling, Swan, Buddy, I Smith. Credit also to Mzungu, Otten and Talia doing good work on the bench.
DT Duds: Lower, Bob Murphy, Goodes, Heppell, Zmith (on the bench, though). Most guys scored pretty close to average, so no real complaints.
On the Chopping Block: If I had more trades/cash, Lower would go after that effort. But since I have 1 trade and no money, no one is going.
Vent/Brag/Whatever: Got the win over Dr DT. Through to the prelim, on the much easier side of the draw so I reckon I’m a big chance at making the grand final.

DT Duds: 1. F**king Selwood (Captain), 2. St Kilda, 3. Sunday players
On the Chopping Block: Selwood out of bloody disgust. I lost my main league by 15 measly points because I went unique. Should have just stuck with loyal Swanny.
Vent/Brag/Whatever: DT makes me sick sometimes. How does a player go from knocking out 100’s every week, plays a team he averages 112 on and then chokes. Ruined my night yesterday.

August 15, 2011 at 10:31 am
with you mate, needed a measily 166 from chappy and selwood, so didnt watch the game at all until i checked the scores at 3/4 time as i was interested to see how much i had won by.
ended up losing by 2 points as selwood spudded it up after 300 in 2 games the weeks before

Vent/Brag/Whatever: I should not have made it this far. When I saw the DT Talk boys at the Dome on Sunday, I said hi to the champs and took meeting them as a good omen. The fellas were in good form, relaxing before the game as they chowed down. (Thanks for shaking my hand and having a quick chat, all the best to you guys.) Anyway, I got into the DT Allstars league from hanging on this site and I didn’t think I had a chance of getting as far as I have. As I have no Geelong players, I’m hoping I can go a little further!
The worst thing about my team is that now and then I wake up from a nightmare because of it. I am going through Post traumatic stress from choosing Duffield. Last year it was Gram, this year Duffhead. Players like them have no place in Team Fang. They are for St Kilda fans and chicks who are into stuff.
