What sort of players should you pick at the start of the season?

The MOST important part of Dream Team is selecting your team for Round 1. If you take your time and select your players in an 'educated' manner you reduce the chance of wasting trades and cash throughout the season to compensate for your retarded selections.

Backs: - In every team in the AFL there are “Rebound” backmen... They play off the half back line and run the ball out of the defence. The ball typically always ends up in their hands and the majority of times it ends up in their hands 'uncontested'. They rack up easy marks and kicks making them a sound selection for your Dream Team.
e.g Ben Johnson – Shaun Burgoyne – Joel Bowden
Note that sometimes these players will also play in the midfield which allows them the opportunity to rack up even more stats.

Rucks: - The traditional ruckman is not a good Dream Teamer. Their job is simply to just tap the ball to their midfielders. However theres always a few ruckman that go beyond their call of duty and get amongst the goal scorers and the contested marks. These are the guys you select for your Dream Team rucks.

eg. Dean Cox... Peter Everiit.... Brendon Lade.... Josh Frazer

Forwards: - Unlike your backs... You need to select key position players. What does that mean? Well these are the guys that every AFL team kick the ball to in order to kick goals... They look for them 9 times out 10 when the midfielder has the ball. That means heaps of marks kicks and goals. Stay away from crumbing forwards unless they get a shitload of tackles and are also rotated in the midfield

eg. Matthew Pavlich... Nick Riewoldt, Johnathon Brown.... Warren Tredrea
----------------------------------------------------------------

Team Structure – Select expensive Centres or Backs?

Centres naturally will always score well and will always get the ball. Therefore its a good idea not to overspend in this area when someone cheaper can be more efficient.
Eg Byron Schammer Corey Enright
Save your cash and spend on your Rucks and Backs as they are the areas that have the least gun players.

----------------------------------------------------------------

How important is your bench really?

Your bench / substitutes has a number of uses -
1.You have an injured / suspended player in your starting 22 and you need them replaced without wasting a trade on them
2.Cash Flow
When you select your team prior to Round 1 commencing.... EVERY substitute / bench player should be playing in that round. The reason behind that is... every game that player plays... their price more often than not will increase ( further explanation in Elite section ).
When their price tag has hit a peak ( where they are not increasing in value anymore ) you have a number of choices...
a) Keep them on your bench
b) Trade them for cheap player ( who is playing and will gain value ) so you gain a profit
eg. Trade Beau Waters ( who is on your bench doing fuck all ) for Polo and you will make about 70 grand

Do that a few times in the season and that will give you a decent salary cap for you to play with near the mid – end of the season when the finals start. This is where you upgrade your mediocre / fringe players in your starting 22 for GUN players. But be careful.... if you make too many of these “cash cow” trades... you wont have enough trades to upgrade your fringe players to GUNS. So you need a fine balance.

I read something in the paper a while back if you're scoring over 2000 then you are doing well.
I didnt even know you could really win money from this until I read that article.

If youre getting an average of 1800 you are doing well... scoring 2000+ once means nothing unless its consistent ;P
