These backs are fit, apparently

[Dayze]

Absolutely. Thought this was sc. My bad completely. Good luck with the seagulls I'll play the game where the real footballers play

Seems fair, but then you're going on a persons oppinion of what contested mark or possession is

Kurt Tippett can move 5 metres all game and take 8 contested marks, Taylor Walker or Nick Riewoldt can work their ass off and take 3 contested and 10 uncontested marks up field and score less points for it, same as a great player who breaks tags and gets free, Swan should score much higher than he does

But I still like SC but saying it is the real game is not accurite

[elephants]

Having no contested game means when Hepp gets tagged (he will at some point...) he will be slaughtered.

I'm too new to this site to b too cheeky. I've had a few frothies and am suddenly feeling brave haha. I completely agree on reiwoldt. But with his fatigue from his work rate, his disposals can b sloppy and his clangers lift. So for all the good work he does, he loses his impact on a game thru mistakes. And I guess having an average team. Swan is just a freak I don't even understand how he does what he does.
Both games are good. I just spend too much time on supercoach I'd prolly have to drop the mrs if I were to take up dream team

[elephants]

Hahaha I like him ^^

[Dayze]

Haha and we're both eagles fans.

[elephants]

flower yeah, we need more of you mate!

Watching the elimination final vs the Roos. Incredible.

[tbagrocks]

Fair enmough Dayze but may I ask in a sarcastic way, what are you doing on a DreamTeam board? :P joking man ;D

Yeah Roo works as hard as any but i'll argue he's a poor disposal anyway :P

Guess i'm just mad on SC and VS for under scoring my great man Walker a few times, when clearly he had more contested marks and game influence than the SC score indicated!

Grimes is locked for me people say lock in the 2 guns I say lock in the3 guns. You get a quasi premo mid who is under priced and has back status.

I have hartlett in my squad he has a dream run early and definitely could be averaging 90+ in the first month. I might trade him out for buddy or SJ though as I'm worried about him playing 22.

[Nige]

Hard to split between Grimes and Waters for me, both are absolute guns when fit. Maybe Waters > Grimes just...

[T Dog]

Not actually starting with any of them.. :-\

It's funny because I'm pretty sure I have (or had) Hartlett in my team yet I said I'd prefer either Waters or Grimes.  :P

[Windigo]

Waters if fit.

But Heppell or Stanley for me.

At the moment I have Goddard - Gibbs - Grimes - Hanley as my big 4 backs.

Hanley seems to not be getting much love. What are your thoughts on him?

[azza707]

Fit Grimes beats the other 2 by a country mile

Averaged 104.5 in his last 8 games running through the Demon's mids

He'll be doing the same all year long this year.

You've set your poll so we can vote all 3 players? lol.

Yes but thats the thing, Grimes has not been fit. All of january was hearing reports he had niggle after niggle. nothing major, but it stopped him from doing everything. Havent heard anything on him so far in February but i would watch very very closely in NAB. Im hoping he can get his body right cos he will average 100 if hes fit, but very cautious with him atm.

I also think you guys are underrating Hartlett a bit. Im from SA so see him play a hell of a lot and even as a crows fan i will admit the kid is an outright freak. I know the big question mark is his hammys, but if he gets a proper run in the midfield this year id be very confident in him averaging 100+. i would almost say he would be the second highest averaging defender behind goddard (barring injury affected scores if he gets any). i wouldnt worry about taggers too much as well as the kid has the brains and skill to brush them aside. they will affect his scoring a tad, but like i said i wouldnt be too worried. Since port have recruited all these defenders im hoping hartlett is now at every centre bounce where port ever so sorely need him.

Will be taking one of Grimes and Hartlett myself, and if Hartlett plays this whole NAB cup without the slightest hiccup then im taking him.
