Dream Team Dynamites

In this section I will point out a few of the the hot Dream Team prospects for the season ahead. This week focusing on the Backs and mids. Probably the positions where DT is won or lost.

BACKS

SYMES Drafted from Port after limited opportunities last season. A big chance of playing a sweeping roll in defence and have been whisper that he may get a run on the ball from time to time which would even further bolster his DT prospect. @$264,900 he is worth the gamble

PFEIFFER Showed good form in NAB cup round one scoring 89 DT points and does look like securing a starting spot in Carlton's slightly lacking back-line. Could risk him as a starter but might be safer to keep on the bench. With a price tag of $83,500 he doesn't take to much cash out of your starting line up.

PETTERD In his first year he showed great signs to suggest that he is a very DT worthy defender. And has bounced back after his tragic injury last season. I expect him to rack them up in a Melbourne back line that could see a lot of the ball this year. priced at $273,100 has scope for some cash gain.

ELLIS Ellis's big challenge this year will be getting a start in Hawthorn's strong back-line. However if he does he could be well worth your trouble. Ellis didn't get a lot of game time last season averaging 49 from an average of 68 mins from his 13 games. This suggests he could reach an average of 70 with another year under his belt and given that he will get more TOG this year.

KENNELY Due to 3 separate injuries last season Kennely has come in well under price. if you take away the 3 games he was injured early match his average would be 78.9 meaning his start price should more realistically be $350,000 injury risk is a slight problem but if he can recapture his early last season form he could be well worth it.

MID FIELD

VAN BERLO It's time for VB to shine! The crows are looking to give aging reg mid fielders such as Goodwin more time up forward meaning youngsters that have been on the fringes like Riley and especially VB will spend a lot more time in the middle bumping them up from 75 av players to 85-90's as long as they can take there chance. which I think they will.

STEVENS the most obvious lock of the season. @ $237,200 Need I say more.

DYSON Even more so than Adelaide Essendon will be looking at some of there 2nd, 3rd year mids to step up and from all reports Knights is a Dyson fan and he will start in the middle @ $201,800 appears to be a bargain. His 90+ DT score on the weekend could be a sign of things to come.

HOULI Will be interesting to see if HOULI starts in the midfield alongside Dyson and co. He is doing everything in his power to make this happen with sparkling NAB cup for showing off his great ball handling skills! With decent amount of TOG his price won't stay @ $196,800 for long at all.

BOAK Possible future leader of the club Boak was very impressive in his first season finishing with a DT average of 62 from his 13. will be looking to sure up a place in the midfield this year and if so could bump his av up to the 85-90 mark thus making him a cheap long term keeper for all dream teams. Priced @ $274,400

CAUGHLAN absolute ball magnet! has had 2 successful matches for Coburg on his long comeback trail and if picked in round one is a must for all teams. Will start slow but hang in there if u can with him.
