Do we dare do sideways trades? I’m really down now…

And to think, there’s only been one game played and already my carefully laid plans are in pieces. Bring on the rest of the round

And after all my prayers,the Devil strikes where it hurts most.Like a stake deep into my heart.

Only consolation for me, as I guess for many people, is now my emergency will count - good ol’ Little Lance and his 90 ease the pain a bit, but I will still murder you Laidley.

DOG ACT!

Why Laidley?, Whats the big deal in not sharing that info especially when its only Melbourne your playing! Your not doing yourself any favors especially with your own club members! I’ll bet you took Anthony out of your supercoach before the lockout!!

I heard Dean Laidley stab him in the foot with his pitch fork.

With Hill in doubt and Broughton not named, Anthony not playing for 6 weeks and me not being able to get on and swap Beams for Robinson my season couldn’t have got off to a worse start! And just to make things worse Raines is out for a month

My problem is I took a punt on not getting Rich.

Started Anthony with Robinson as EMG and Beams on the bench.

I’ll probably be okay next week but when Stevens comes back I’d say Robinson is goooooone and I’ll be stuck with a donut until Beams gets a game.

Your doing well if you score 2000 round, wonder what other little surprises this round has up its sleeve, time will tell!!

im same as you Clint. Worst 36 hours of DT ever. waiting 6 months for it to start, put in huge research. and in first 36 hours it will be all over.

I should’ve got a haircut like Lindsay’s.

So basically if u picked robinson between beams, anthony, and himself, u won the jackpot.
Robinsons def gonna get chances in the blues guernsy after his great debut, beams yet to force himself into the pies best 22 and anthoney out for roughly 6.
For the record i picked anthony

shocker. this is really bad. mr laidley, i don’t why you figure you’re the only person in the world who deserves some respect. you have lost mine for this outright deception.

Ahh Dream Team, you never fail to frustrate me, praying I have no injuries in my starting 6 midfielders for a few rounds!

Hill and Suban have both made the cut, btw. Teams to come.

:’(

Hill Kssssss

So who has got Anthony, Raines and Cuz in there team??? Aaaarrrgh!!
Not me thank god!

Thx Monty,
I hope i’m in the good books,after my afternoon outrage.Thats what rd 1 stress does to you.

tomorrow i am expecting to hear stephen hill, kurt tippett and travis tuck have been arrested together shipped off to guantanamo, no bail.
nice work monty.

If Hill wasnt going to get a start for Freo id say the nightmare would continue, at least some good news!! lol

lmao @ benno

Surely the high expectations of DT coaches and these darn injuries are internconnected in some way.

This is just rediculous!!!

so now it’s Raines, Anthony in my 30 - now I know how those Wall St wankers feel

i think i will hold onto anthony, we dont need all our rookies playin and besides we will need to get new rookies around that time, im not wastin a trade

You Scumbag Laidley

LOL @ Wannpoos haha

Same boat there Clint, exactly!

Anthony out Robinson in!
i’ll just pick Anthony back up after he’s played a couple.
Hopefully Rich can make me feel a little better

this is putrid

i have:

cuz
raines
anthony

great….

Isn’t that false advertising seriously this game is impossible.

Now all I need is the all Freo kids and Pav to get on the piss on Sunday night and get cut for the season

AT least SC reward decent disposal - DT is a flawed concept

QUOTE: “you’re going to a dark, evil place when you retire. And no, I don’t mean the Mornington Peninsula”

m0nty that was gold mate, any credibility Laidley ever had(which was next to nothing)has just been obliterated.

I think injuries are going to be even worse than last year, anyone that has Anthony/Raines is going to have a very hard time winning the $50K, I sense its going to be a bad year for overall rankings.

Cheers and good luck all with your teams!

AT least SC rewards decent disposal - DT is a flawed concept - look at Deledios stats last night for proof

I will keep Anthony in my side, he is a mature aged rookie from WA, like Dalziell, so hoping he comes in after 6 weeks off and dominates, but if Beams gets named and score 100, 100, 100 he is in for anthony!! Or Otten is another option or Myke Cook.

wooo! anthony out robinson in! anthony would have maxed 90 probs anyway but robinson sures that up and b/w rich, robinson and anthony i need 1 player to play each week so i am 100% right

Ditto Clint!!!

Might aswell make some cash while you can.

Cash in Robbo after Anthony is named for his 3rd game! Good downgrade target now!

Nth players supercoach leagues have been talk about a fair bit, i wonder how many of them took anthony out before the lockout when ladley first knew about it? I know it sounds like rubbish but would be interesting if out of the 3 or so Nth player leagues none of them had him???

This actually hurts me in a unique way as i played robinson over anthony this week, and im assuming a lot of people have robinson as emergency for anthony. **** you dean laidley

Well, I started robinson, and anthony, and have rich as a backup, So I guess im not too hurt, with otten as my other mid bench. although raines is a pain in the ass. Well sounds like people didn’t expect the worst!

I am really disappointed. To say the least. Laidley should sell used cars.

Becareful, Laidley might coach Richmond next year and where will that leave us?

At least Hill & Suban are now named to play.
Onya Harves, not patch on the dog.

dont waste a trade if he’s just on your bench
just wait 6 rounds coz otherwise at about round 18 you’ll be regretting wasting 2 trades

Never picking a North rookie again, should have learned from last season. Laidley is nothing but the lowest form of scum. Absolute dog act by a low dog.

@ Monty,Jed,mick_15,Muppet,Etoh,Benno,and anyone else i’ve missed,ia am sitting here LMAO.This is great.

Laidley needs not only a new car, but the cash as well.He is a moral to be ranked no 1 in every fantasy comps around the country.

Yes now we now why you are nicknamed the junkyard DOG…….

I may as well just give up now. Goodbye cruel Dream Team.

i dont get why so many of you bank on rookies who havent played a game at AFL level?? its one thing to bench em and trade when there value go’s up, but its another to rely on them to get decent points especially for round one. very risky fella’s!

Flower you Laidley!!! Flowering cock!

Wow…every few hrs it seems theres more good(read: really bloody crap) news….

I hear Lawn Bowls is supposedly fun !

dan, are you saying you don’t know why any of us would take a risk? well bruz we don’t want a team full of prestis, lewis roberts-thompsons and lloyds do we? the whole game is a combination of research and risk.

I had heard that this year, the money values change after 2 Rds, then back to the last 3 rds played etc…..

Am i incorrect ?

Tks.

Oh God! After all my work and this happens. I have Anthony, Beams, Broughton, Raines, Henderson. Sad days and I was looking forward to this season too…..

Newbie here - but if you’ve got a rookie on your bench - do their values increase (e.g Robinson on bench for R1) even though they haven’t been one of your starters or emergencies?

What I’m getting at is that wouldn’t it be better to trade Anthony now for another rookie who will start (e.g Hill), so that you don’t miss out on the price rise of the rookies that are getting games?

Simonoz - the player must have 3 games average before value starts changing

Andy - That’s a decision you have to make. How much do you value your trades? how long can you afford a player not playing any games to sit on your bench? If you do trade, you will want to make sure the rookie you trade in is going to increase in value, or the trade could be wasted.
Part of playing DT!

Raines, Beams, Broughton, Hodge (susp?), Anthony.
3 months of research and high anxiety and for what? 2 games played and the team is shot!!
May hell open up and with all its force strike down furious furious vengeance upon Beelzebub aka Dean Laidley!!

Ah man, I do feel for all you dudes who bought him. That sucks immensely. I was a bee’s pecker from taking him and when I saw him named I ALMOST went with him (but couldn’t have even if I wanted to).

At this point I am SO glad that I listened to my gut and only took one Kangas rook (Zeibell because he could be a Fwd). The chopping and changing of good-performing Kangas rooks in 2008 scared me right off.

Hey Brad - what’s wrong with Beams? Are you just saying that he wasn’t picked or is there some injury cloud? I thought he was A-OK and just wasn’t a Round 1 starter (which is fine by me because I have Rich as emergency).

How bad can The Dog be? Could he pull Ziebell late on Sunday? Hope Mitch Brown (em) definately plays tonight.
Given that Rnd 2 may produce a rookie smokee maybe a trade sacrifice for Anthony is a worthwile punt. Can’t believe I was Robinson Bail, Robinson Dangerfield, Robinson Meyer, but settled on Robinson Anthony during the maelstrom. Also changed Broughton to Suckling then to Schoenmaker. Also downgraded Tuck to Otten to get Hodge. Last minute decisions not looking good.

i picked scott thompson and lenny hayes, not reading anywhere that they had picked up injuries, as well as having raines and now anthony. already 4 injuries, 3 of them starters. i needed anthony to cover one of lenny or thompson for this week, cause couldn’t get on to swap davenport for someone who was playing. bloody dreamteam servers i tell you what, that’s 2 years in a row now i’ve needed to make a few changes and haven’t been able to

Hey Mony How are you? How can we calculate how much money Tuck will go up?
Do we have a program!?

you reckon you guys hit the jackpot with
cuz
raines
anthony

take those three and add
mackie reported
reiwoldt injured
osbourne injured
hodge reported
fev injured but loks alright for next week
c.brown no good. nfi why i picked him

Six weeks is a long time to be sitting on your bench without helping you paying the bills. I’ve got beams there too so I’m gonna see if beams gets a game r2 or r3 before making the call on Anthony. If beams starts playing i’ll probably feel better about being patient with Anthony…

def gonna trade out anthony, just will be interesting to see which rookies in the mids keep their spots and/or score well.

i already have rich and robinson so will be keeping a keen on eye next round.

No need to make a decision this week on Anthony. Might as well wait to see who is the best cash cow after teams are named in round 3

anthony out! dangerfield in! simple, hes an absolute gun

How many rounds are played before players values change??

My supercoach financial advisor told me that you should only trade out Anthony if there is another one of your midfielders not playing… if you can still name an emergency you should wrap him up in cotton wool and have him your 8th midfielder for 6 weeks

Rupert - if Liam is out 6 weeks, then maybe 2 more in reserves…thats 8 weeks in cotton wool - when over the same period, you could run TWO diff rook cash cows….and use Anthony as a downgrade around Rd 8,9….

Flower off rupert, I’m the only Rupert in this biach. Flowering name theif.

Hey calm down Rupert, my name is rupert, spelt with a small r and yours is Rupert is a big R… so there is no problem here, right?
Please take note of this Simon, as you wrote a response to Rupert, but i think it was meant for me, in which case should be rupert, understand??

P.S Thief Rupert, not theif.

After what happened Rd.1 do any of us believe it is a 6 week injury?
