Australian Rules Football 2014 - Tipping, Chat & The Dream Team

[chooka]

For the dream teamers on here this is worth a watch.

I have a couple of the players they mentioned in my team already. This may assist a few of you who are building your teams. Remember guys don't stack your team with to many players from the one AFL side there is the byes to think of.

It is a tough assignment picking a team mad eup form any AFL team, rather than just following the one team

This time next week I will feel like a drug addict who has been clean for 6 months and gets his 1st sniff of the good stuff. Yea I know it's NAB but I need a fix.

[GrantSmith]

Speaking of CTH and the AN, I noticed last night it was gone from CTH.

Wondering if it was just me or everyone?

Will check tonight when I get back home, not going to be too impressed if it's been switched off!

Still listed on the CTH (not that that should be taken for gospel truth) website and Australia Network website indicates that CTH is still the carrier..

Read this morning that they're doing a software upgrade so I'm hoping it's back on tonight.

They're pretty ordinary to be honest. We signed up about 3 months ago and still haven't received

a bill. Read that some people had to wait 4, 5 and 6 months for the first one.

Will just flicked the box onto AN with CTH, happy to say that it's coming through

Thanks for that mate. Yep, apparently they were doing a software download and

are in the process of adding some more channels.

Had to do a channel search as the box kep coming up "null". It's all good now.

Four AFL teams set to slide in 2014

By Garrett Overend, 6 Feb 2014

As a follow up to the leap year piece, below are the four sides most likely – in my opinion – to drop out of the final eight in 2014.

Yep someone forgot to close the door. He/she is still out numbered as you are either with them or against them.

Come on man up who are you? We'll love you and hug you, well maybe not.

Well when he gets back from Centre Link we'll find out

Surely bashing is aloud on this thread as it's part of the footy spirit

Is there a chat thingy on the Fantasy league board? I was just in there and I couldn't see it.

Edit: I found it down the bottom of the Leagues/Team page. It is called Coaches Box

That's the one my friend. A bit smaller this year tho. But hey can have friendly banter on there. The moderator is a computer program so abuse and swear words or generally picked up.

[chooka]

This is the way I am building my team and will share with all. I am 85% happy at the moment.

I started with the mid field and selected 3 players whom I think are premium, Watson, Selwood and Steven. Then I went to the backline and looked for players on the list that play back and mid (it is next to their names) if they are running backs then they will score points.

My rucks well not to worried.

My forwards I looked at 3 main positional players and then again looked at forward/midfield players.

I am an open book. I will trade players in/out during the season due to bad performance injury and suspension. I am no guru but always willing to help others if you have questions and make it a tight fight. I will tell you what I am doing no problem. I will also advise when the bye is coming up and what you should do. We are all mates here and it is all fun.

"We are all mates here and it is all fun"

Well said Chooka you are so right. We have been on here for a couple of seasons and we have banter but there is no ill feeling, It is a great thread.

And that is what it is all about. We take the piss out of each and our teams and there is not one personal attack. That is sport in Australia. It is a bit of slagging but nothing personal.

So what happened to our Collingwood friend? I guess he was pulled over pissed in a stolen car on the way back from centre link.

Cheers Chook, I can see why you're a cranky old bastard now, you'd need to be 70 to remember a Saint's flag wouldn't you?

Any room here for a South Aussie who's team has actually won a flag this century?

Ha ha, still a cranky old bastard in training and have a few years to go to reach 70, 22 yrs actually. Yep never seen a saints premiership and hope I do before the day comes that I pass over.

Everyone is welcome on here for sledging and banter and everyone takes it in their stride. No malice or offence is ever intended or comments should be taken personally. Hey we even have a Collingwood supporter.

[GrantSmith]

Collingwood and Port? Same same

[BookMan]

Ill PM KrisB again...he is a Port supporter

[sceadugenga]

Collingwood and Port? Same same

In their dreams maybe.

Remember Eddie bleating in the Finals last year Collingwood would only have 5 days to prepare for their next match after meeting Port?

So we gave them six months.

Always trying to please.

Port's day of Fame; Lions' day of shame. So embarrassing.

You were still the team of the decade, you were just outplayed and out generalled that day.
