2011

Hey guys, this is my first post so feedback would be great ;) Last year was my first attempt at Dream Team, and lots of mistakes were made, but hopefully will improve on my top 15000 finish! This is my first draft using Monty's Fanplanner, but so far im pretty happy. Obviously lots of the bench players will change after the draft, but for now will stay put.

This team comes under the predicted budget, with a spare 50k in loose change ;)

Backs: Goddard, Hodge, Harbrow, Adcock, Ottens, Dowler, Coad
Emg: Toy, Talia, Faulks

Mid: Swan, Boyd, Selwood, Anthony, H.Hartlett, Swallow
Emg:Krakour, Xavier Clarke, Gaff

Rucks: Sandilands, Jolly
Emg:Smith, Majak Daw

Forwards: Chapman, Riewoldt, Thomas, Sidebottom, Watts, Petrie, Knights
Emg: Butcher, Matera, Lamb


MPP between back/forwards, centre/forwards, centre/backs, ruck/forwards. I want to utilize the dual position players more, but not willing to drop or pick up players just because they're MPP.

A number of players are pretty risky, but could be good smokies. Will be keeping my eye on Kerr in the Nab Cup, along with Griggs, Foley and a couple VFL and WAFL boys.

What do yous think?

Thomas and Sidebottom on the same line is the only criticism I have, good first effort

Hamstring Hartlett? I'd stay away with his history.

The man is a quality player but can't string enough time on the park together to be part of any on-field DT.

Agree keep an eye on Foley.

Your fwd bench could get messy.....Butcher, Lamb  :D

I'd stay away from Hartlett & dowler but other than that pretty good team...

[dylsta05]

good team but im with boomz stay away with dowler and hartlett

Yeh i see where your coming from, Hartlett is maybe too much of a long shot, if he has a good preseason i might slip him back into the team. Hes just such a promising player, hope he gets his body right  :-\

So ive replaced Dowler with NM rookie Richardson, and replaced Hartlett with Foley, and freed up an extra $150k, cheers guys!

yeah richardson looks like he has some real potrential. i think i will find a bench spot for him :)
