    Hi DV, Linked to this thread and not DT Talk... :wacko:

    To start of discussions - I have always been more of a Supercoach player and understand that scoring. So what should I be looking for in players for AFL Fantasy (as that looks like it is leading)?

    Gremlins at work with the orignal link. Fixed. Gut feeling, luck, and players getting high possesions. Lots of reading DT web sites. (What Warnie says treat with a grain of salt) I hope that helps. Dr Dream team if he is still going was a dud.

    OH and in 2013 staying well clear of everyone wearing a red & blue jimper. This year IF a few can pull their finger out, we could see a sharp raise in their value. Allowing to either upgrade to a prem player or downgrade to a rookie and make some $$.

    You should be milking the info from the guys in the Legends League :)

    An article on the AFL website about our Mitch Clark from a Fantasy perspective.

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-02-11/fantasy-team-builder-clark

    So, who is going to have him in their side?

    I have included him but have him on the bench.

    It was a bit of a squeeze to get him on there (cant afford too many $200k plus benchers)

    But he will stay depending on when he is predicted to return. Might be better value to play someone and gain some money then purchase him.

    Either way, at that price and for his skills he will be in my team no matter what.

    Wbu?

    Dom Barry ($115,200) in the midfield.

    Anyone considering him?

    Definitely rate him higher than the rookie price he is given considering he has had an extra year on everyone.

    Only issue is that I can't see him breaking into the best 22 and getting regular games for a quick cash cow.

    If there are injuries then before him in line as replacements would be Evans, Salem or Barry.

    Having said that Roos said he doesn't expect Salem to play a lot of footy this year...

    I'm a bit concerned with the AFL Fanasty 'bug' that allows to save your team when you have exceeded your salary cap.

    It might save it now, but if its not fixed soon, is your team selection still valid come the 1st game?

    I could fill my team with Prems and not have to use many trades for the whole year.

    Wbu?

    Up until the weekend, he has been in my team since I started I first started getting it together (which was just after Christmas). He's out because there are just too many signs that he won't be playing round one. I try to start of my team with all players starting to give myself a better chance of making money with rookies. But that could easily change if he plays in the last NAB and is named for round one.

    And just a quick proviso with all of this - atm my team and strategies centre around SuperCoach but my teams end up fairly similar - maybe that's why I don't do as well as I can in AFL Fantasy.

    I had thoughts about him early on in the pre season but with JKH doing so well I'm just not so sure. And there are other rookie mids that are more like to play more games...

    And in this instance I definitely HATE being right in my assumptions!! I assume everyone has heard - Mitch Clark out for 3-4 weeks with hamstring soreness

    Pimp my team. Lack of fitness with some of these players might be my downfall.

    Vintage_DT_Team.jpg

    I had a few issues with the AFL Fantasy software at the beginning. I had to use up my vintage web browser "De Lorean" and was then able to select my team for 2014. There are still a few changes to be made before I finalise the team. Any suggestions??

    I was having salary cap issues :) It was getting top heavy in the forward line, someone had to miss out. Neitz drew the short straw. Tassie for Neitz?

    Melbourne Fantasy preview The night is darkest before the dawn, and The Traders can see the light at Demonland.


    Heritier Lumumba looks a Fantasy force again after a switch to Melbourne.


    1. Heritier Lumumba (DEF/MID) $402,000

    In 2013, Lumumba was one of the premium defenders in the competition, averaging 88. He started his 2014 campaign in fine style for the Pies, averaging 91 in his first five games, but from there it was all downhill. He finished the year averaging 71, making him a great under-priced option this year. Now in the red and blue, Lumumba should return to his best and the NAB Challenge signs were good.


    2. Ben Newton (MID) $192,000

    Newton played four games with Port Adelaide last year, but wore the sub's vest on three occasions. He averaged 98 in the SANFL and is looking for more opportunities this season, something Paul Roos is ready to give him.


    3. Jesse Hogan (FWD) $194,000

    After not playing a game last year because of persistent back issues, Hogan is $70,000 cheaper than his 2014 price and is ready to make an impact. Yet to make a senior debut, the Demons' forward hopes sit heavily on the shoulders of this young giant.


    4. Christian Salem (FWD) $193,000

    A new role playing off half-back this pre-season has put the former first round draft pick on the Fantasy radar. His last two NAB Challenge scores of 118 and 91 have seen his stocks rise and a popular cheap forward selection. Look out for him to gain defender status prior to round six.


    5. Aaron vandenBerg (MID) $120,000

    Set for a round one debut, vandenBerg is one to watch. He averaged 32 touches and 127 points in the NEAFL last year. A cheap option and his NAB Challenge form was outstanding.

    Very good value in Salem.

    I've also added that pr1ck playing in the forward line at Geelong. Cheap as chips.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
