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...

... He's out because there are just too many signs that he won't be playing round one.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
