    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
