Does Anyone Here Watch The AFL?

[NinjaTurtle]

I have another dilemma, I didn't end up getting Cox. Instead I was thinking of upgrading Adcock to Broughton. I have a feeling Kieran Jack is going to have a big year, and I have question marks over Anthony's fitness. So should I do it?

I've got a feeling Broughton is injured and out for 8-10 weeks. I could be wrong though. If he is you'll have to be able to carry him on the bench for a month or so when the season starts.
Jack is a good player and should step it up again this year. Im always dubious of picking Swans midfielders though as they play a dour style of game. Longmire may change this. Their rucks and HBF'ers seem to be their bigger scorers. May just be my observations though.
I've also got Adcock at the moment but his injury history has got me a little dubious. Plus it's Brisbane and I can't see them going too well this year.
I haven't really even considered Cox this year and have gone with Sandilands, Petrie, Campbell and some other cheap rookie whose name escapes me at the moment, possibly Derricx.

Nah, he played against Hawthorn on the weekend and posted some pretty good scores, that was what got me interested in the first place. He is very consistent and Adcock is a bit of a risk as you said, but if he can stay healthy he could be a good cash cow.

As for Kieran Jack, I have a feeling that if I do go with Anthony, Jack will end up dominating for most of the season and raise his price beyond my reach. I will kick myself if this happens.

I'm thinking of Stockpiling my defense and forward line with premiums, so that I won't need to look for upgrades. I would look to get some mid ranged players like Foley and Anthony, as well as Swan, and the rest fill with rookies who are guaranteed game time. This is really risky but it could pay off, just unsure whether to go ahead or not.

[gumbleton]

Albert Proud looks pretty cheap, you should pick him up NinjaTurtle, would slot nicely into your team

Also, nice!

Not so nice....

Albert Proud could be a great cash cow, heard he had a massive pre-season. In for a big year, could average 90+. Get on him.

Also, I can't wait for that game to come out.

[gumbleton]

Yeah I'll play him in my forward line alongside Fevola. I'll be unstoppable.

Sounds like a good plan, but it could backfire. Having two Brisbane players in the forward line could be risky.

What about Majak, will he get games this year? Ask him the next time you see him, please.

[gumbleton]

Oh yes, definitely get Majak. He is very close, if not already in, Melbournes best twenty tw... one.

Make sure he is in your team.

But he plays for North Melbourne. I still think that Robbie Campbell will be my fourth ruck going into round 1.

Good Luck to Essendon tonight as well.

ps. Do you like my new sig? For someone that is terrible at photoshop, I think I did alright.

[NinjaTurtle]

Brisbane are terrible...

Why leave the league Mex?

[gumbleton]

sig looks great , very nice performance from the dons, can't really blame mex for leaving the league either.

On another note, the Melbourne Rebels went down 43-0 in their first game tonight, not a great start.

The Rebels were pretty terrible, as were the Giants last night. But they have an excuse, being schoolboys and all.

Bloody Gold Coast might actually be okay this year, hopefully they don't get their first win against Carlton in round 2 this year.

As for supercoach, would I be better off going with Judd or Montagna?

Either way, the Baltimore Blues will dominate this season.

In other news, Brendan Fevola has been sacked by Brisbane. I feel really sorry for him...

The Glory Days....

I'm sure Gumbleton and Mex remember that day, 48 points down and manage to win.

I really do not think that was necessary at all, in fact I think Mex deserves an apology. No need for that stuff.

shut up ninja turtle

[gumbleton]

I was at that game, never been more p1ssed off after a footy game in my life. If we'd won that game we would have made the finals that year.

I applied for free tickets by the way, I know we probably won't be going but they take 2 days to email them, so just in case.

It was one of the happiest days in my life, I could not believe that.

About the football, will you assure me that I will get some free food and drinks, if I decide to go? Even though the chances are slim.

I figured out how to multi-quote.

[gumbleton]

Yes, you'll get some free food. That is all I will say.

[gumbleton]

Tickets have arrived.

You better come. Seriously, come.

It is a great sport, you definitely won't be disappointed. Do you have a favourite team? If not, Carlton are always a good choice.

[NinjaTurtle]

Alright Gumbleton, what is happening tonight?

[gumbleton]

We'll catch the 5:50 train, so get to the station at about 5:40

Did you notice that on Supercoach, they changed some of the jumpers. Now Carlton's don't look as good.

[NinjaTurtle]

Are we catching the 5:30 or 5:50?

[gumbleton]

Hmmm.... odd.


Also, are you still there Ninja? the train is actually leaving at 5:43, so get there at 5:30ish
