Round 3 Preview



The boys produce the sharpest episode of the year with the return of a favourite segment, Boys on the bubble. We discuss what to do with the likes of Ed Curnow, Tom Liberatore and Luke Tapscott while managing to whinge about the exclusion of Josh Fraser.

More importantly, Nick and Beau introduce a song that has the potential to skyrocket through the itunes charts. It features auto-tune, Justin Beiber and the season ending injury to Lenny Hayes.

Or if your after just the song on it's own (of course you are).

Round 2 Wrap - What up Alvi



It was nice to crack 2000 for the first time this year and outscore Beau the week I’m not playing him. Two weeks in and I must admit my team is struggling; I wasn’t helped with Joel Selwoods April Fool’s joke either. I am questioning some of the decisions I have made in my team.

Brad Green as an example. He looked like a lock after he became a forward this year. I jumped on board and have been disappointed with his scores of 63 and 72. Hopefully he can find triple figures against the struggling Lions next week.

This week I made a somewhat reactionary trade, by trading Mitch Clark out for Josh Fraser. Last week Clark struggled and this week he outscored Fraser by four points. I made the trade mainly because I was worried about the money I would lose from him. Hopefully Fraser can lift and not get outscored by youngster Zac Smith.

Saturday confirmed Mick Malthouse doesn’t have a Dreamteam. He decided to start the second most popular player in the competition, Andrew Krakouer, as the sub. It hurt most coaches but Kracks showed his class by posting 48 in less than a half of footy.

Round 2 Wrap - Cuzzywuzzy3peat



Shortly into the round I realised how badly the sub rule would be affecting our dream teams, Krakouer was not so much of a problem since the majority of the competition have him, but I felt sorry for my Dad's team who had Krak and Liam Anthony starting on his midfield.

I managed an improvement on last week with 2037 but am still becoming frustrated with a couple of players I went for instead of others. Eg: Joel Selwood over Bartel, Brad Green over Colin Sylvia and Buddy Franklin over Cyril Rioli.

My top scorer was Dane Swan who is the insta-captain, his 162 helped my team crawl over the 2000 mark. Bryce Gibbs followed up his opening round domination with an impressive 144 against the Gold Coast u11's.

We called Daniel Harris as a roughy to score well this week and he did exactly that with 96 points against the Blues in his 150th match.

The most interesting and annoying aspect of my week was the rucks, Cox dominated as can be expected but my second ruck in Josh Fraser could only manage 60. My third and fourth rucks both outscored him with Tyrone Vickery (71) and Zac Smith (81).

I was very impressed with the work of Luke Tapscott (80) and Rohan Bewick (73) after failing to get on the Ed Curnow (91) and Tom Liberatore trains (116).

Franklin saved himself from the chopping block by scoring 87 despite being on 16 midway through the third term. The golden rule is to not trade an injured premium, but he was struggling big time before the Hawks turned it on against the Dees
