The third annual Deck of Dream Team starts this Saturday on www.dreamteamtalk.com. Join Roy, Calvin, Warnie, tbetta, Dunny and TeeTee as we look at 52 players over 52 days and our thoughts on whether you should be picking them in your AFL Dream Teams for 2012.

Cant wait guys!!! and Fanfooty has changed some of the prices on players- are these now true and correct?
Warnie
December 6, 2011 at 11:20 am
No prices are true and correct as yet as VS haven’t done them yet! They’ll finish all of that off in the next couple of weeks before we get access to the official planner thanks to Assistant Coach! Can’t wait for that!

Nice early xmas present and those tight arse’s that didn’t fork out 20 bucks will be spewing…..bahahaha

All I wish in my life is that I forked out the $20 last season lol
I’m hoping Monty mirrors it on his fan planner when he gets hold of it!

If he doesn’t, I’m sure we will get the pre-season version of “What is player x’s b/e on assistant coach” anyway.

I didn’t pay it because I didn’t think it was sporting! I wanted to do my own research. Now, I would pay $100!

Could put Ziebell, J Brown, Zaha, most of Adelaide, Allen Christensen, Waters, Grimes, J Roo, N Roo, gah SO MANY PLAYERS!!!
Dunny
December 6, 2011 at 12:30 pm
Well I can only do 3 Adelaide players Stew42, so hopefully I pick the ones you are most interested in. HINT: 13 Dec will see an Adelaide player in the Deck!
stew42
December 6, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Grigg, Sloane and perhaps Callinan? But there is also Dangerfield, K Tip, Doughty, Knights (will he do in 2012 what we thought he’d do in 2011?), the crazily cheap Porps…
RLGriffin
December 7, 2011 at 8:45 am
Sloan/Dangerfield/Vince and Thompson would be more obvious likely candidates. Although Porpous and Knights would be good, they would barely make ‘Jack’.

Griff who are you supporting next year?
RLGriffin
December 7, 2011 at 7:49 pm
Platnium Membership for GWS paid for. Supporter Membership for the crows being sorted.

G’day DT Talk team,
Some suggestions:
HMac (poor man’s version of a Petrie 2011 comeback?), Kreuzer, Dayne Zorko, Sidebottom, Fyfey, Kane Lucas (is he a smokey to make it back into Blues regular 22?), Burgoyne (MPP possibility, is he past it?), Hurley, Ryder (where is Hirdy going to play him?), Boak (Port will be shite and so will Travis??), Wingard, Didak (game passed him by or will he be back to premium status in 2012?) …
cheers,
j959

So many dt relevant players at Collingwood. Apart from the obvious proven dt stars: Pendlebury, Swan, Thomas and Cloke, people will have a think about Beams and Sidebottom in the mid-price range and Marty Clarke and Didak who will be cheap. I hope Didak gets a write up because he is definitely a player who could make or break your team. He had a poor pre-season last year and was on the periphery all season and was subbed and started sub often. Not only does this muller your weekly score, it cruels your ability for you to trade/upgrade. Depending on VS’s approach to deal with the muliti-bye rounds and considering popular picks Cloke, Fyfe, Johnson, Zaharakis, etc are all in the same line, Didak poses a very interesting dilemma this year.
McScoundrel
December 6, 2011 at 5:18 pm
Suggestions: Leuenberger, Mumford, Dyson Heppell, Zaharakis
FLOPITOUT1
December 6, 2011 at 6:15 pm
More suggestions: Tony Armstrong, Jordan Lisle, Tommy Walsh, Mitch Clarke

Dahlhaus, Kreuzer and Jono Brown please Roy!!
Reprobates
December 6, 2011 at 7:42 pm
As as suggestion…The ‘Come Back Premiums’…perhaps as one article..Brown, both Reiwoldts, Didak, Grimes, Waters, Hayes, Brown, Barlow even.. some others that don’t spring to mind. Pick some of these guys in the initial squad, given their probable juicy price, and they perform, have 15-16 premiums off the bat! Which players to risk?
Dunny
December 7, 2011 at 5:32 pm
If I get some time in the next few weeks I will see if I can put something together like this for you. Good suggestion.

December 9, 2011 at 5:42 pm
Also Mundy as others have mentioned.
Brilliant idea and would certainly love to read that article, looking forward to it Dunny!

I’m interested to see what people think of paddy ryder?
Zoostar84
December 6, 2011 at 10:51 pm
Dempsey (averaged 72 last year before this years injury)
Bock (In second half of year back to his DT form he showed in Ade)
Stanton (Carrer best average of 106 and killed it in the second half of year)
N. Riewoldt (Old and crippled? or New coach and improved team?)
Morabito (Full season out means good discount)
GJayBee
December 9, 2011 at 6:55 pm
Rabbito has never racked up possies, even in his junior days. I think he might stay a low average forever.

Would be interested in seeing some players who apply for the “third year” ruling. Such as L.Shuey, D.Martin, J.Trengove (melb) and B.Howlett

That is crap news. By that time I’ve had a few Friday beers and lost the edge. I need the five o’ clock team sheets god damn it.

December 7, 2011 at 9:43 am
Don’t bother putting Neon Leon down for Port.
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=126910
Looks like he will be out of the competition (unless he buckles and either becoes rookie listed, or is willing to live in Western Sydney). Quitting after winning all-australian selection: that’s what you call going out on top. Idiot.

@Tee Tee
North Melbourne:
Cameron Pederson – Ave 71.4 (14 games, 18 goals) penciled in my team at the moment, showed a lot of promise for a first year player
Geelong
Jimmy Bartel – Ave 95.9, lowest average for 5 years and many were talking that Bartel was past his best, love some expert advice
St Kilda
Lenny Hayes – one of the best mids out there, coming back from a knee reco and in his 30’s now
Ziplock
December 7, 2011 at 9:26 pm
I wouldn’t touch bartel with a 10 foot pole.
07- 114
08- 113
09-109
10- 105
11- 97
if that doesn’t scream a dt slide I don’t know what does.
PurpleArmy
December 7, 2011 at 9:45 pm
yeah im with ya, had him for the first half last year and said thats it for Bartel, a 97 average isnt exactly terrible though but yes he has dropped off every year. a ‘maybe’ on the price
mtooler
December 9, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Bartel for dpp status?
Bandicoot
December 7, 2011 at 11:13 pm
Roy,
would be interested to see your thoughts on Brian Lake.
I am surprised that so few have selected him in the squads that have been posted over the last few weeks. He was the GUN defender in 2010 along with Goddard, had a shocker last year due to injury and IF fit in 2012 would be (IMO) a certain starter in the backline. He will be as cheap as shit and could end up being one of the 6 defender keepers for the year.
PurpleArmy
December 8, 2011 at 12:10 pm
+1, def in my team as it stands right now. fanfooty has him $240k (i know the price aint finalised yet). Averages 99 in 2010
The x Factor
December 8, 2011 at 1:25 pm
well I only have room for either him or armstrong.
GJayBee
December 9, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Lake is a lock for me. At that price if he fails I can catch a rookie on the up and up. And he has upside like tits.

Warnie’s throwing out twitter hints about next seasons set up and the dream team gold opening. Any more news? The suspense is killing me.
Brappinalong
December 8, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Yep as Rd 11 will mess up many ruck combos, Rd 12 will stuff up your Fwds even more. The overall ranking hunters will have teams structured right whilst not looking the prettiest on paper.
mtooler
December 9, 2011 at 10:01 pm
Yep I stopped creating teams after the draw and wont bother till the rules come out.

Hey guys, looking forward to the annual Deck of DT – would be great if you could do some of these guys:
Adelaide – Jason Porplyzia, Ian Callinan, Mitchell Grigg
Brisbane – Tom Rocliff (we all know you’re dying to review this guy, Roy), Pearce Hanley, Sam Docherty
Carlton – Marc Murphy, Sam Rowe, Bryce Gibbs
Collingwood – Marty Clarke, Steele Sidebottom, Daisy Thomas
Essendon – Elliott Kavanagh, Dyson Heppell
Fremantle – Anthony Morabito, Matty Pavlich, Aaron Sandilands, Mickey Barlow
Gold Coast – Piers Flanagan, Zac Smith
Geelong – Joel Selwood, Orren (Big ‘O’) Stephenson, Trent West
Greater Western Syndey – Jonno Giles,
Hawthorn – Buddy Franklin, Sam Mitchell, Grant Birchall
Melbourne – Jack Trengove, Mitch Clark
North – Will Sierakowski, Brad McKenzie, Hamish MacIntosh
Port – Chad Wingard, Hamish Hartlett
Richmond – Brett Deledio, Stephen Morris, Jack Riewoldt
St. Kilda – Ahmed Saad, Beau Wilkes, Lenny Hayes
Sydney – Tommy Walsh, Adam Goodes, Tom Mitchell
West Coast – Andrew Gaff
Western Bulldogs – Jason Tutt, Brian Lake, Clay Smith
I know there’s a lot there – but some really interesting picks there I’d like to get an expert opinion on – especially the unique picks. Not sure if you’ll be doing the rooks or whether Chook will be doing a preseason write up for them but those are some of the better ones IMO
Cheers

WCE deserve more respect…c’mon they have a few worthy (Waters,Priddis,Shuey) to name a few.
Matty411
December 10, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Okay, so I agree with Waters and Coxy will be in a lot of teams – priddis is a solit premium but not worthy of our best 22 with others out there…

Great news. CP trade to Lakers put on hold. Possibly in jeopardy? Would be fantastic. F the Lakers.
Bee’s should send him to Clips to make then relevant again and throw oops to Blake. That’d be EPIC.
