Really impressed with your DT Middle mate, I'll screen shot mine in when I can just a little busy. Will you be trying to get Swan in the team next week?
I haven't looked ahead that far, but I can definitely say I won't be getting him in. He has a bye in round eight and I have enough players already in my team with a round eight bye. That means I will be aiming to get him in for round nine or ten, when he has already had his bye.

Great call, I am not really familiar with bye rounds, does that simply mean you only field the people playing? you could get a terrible score that round if you get hit badly...
This is my team: I had a great round, hoping for a decent score from my Hawthorne players.
I'm really concerned about Langdon's longevity, I guess he should be gone once he stops making money?
Not bad at all, mate. You have nailed that ruck combination, which is something I haven't done.
You're not doing AFL Dream Team, though. The version you're playing is the poor man's one: AFL Fantasy. You need to get into "Real Dream Team", run by Virtual Sports.

Your Geelong tip actually gave me confidence to place a bet on them just before the game!

Define smash? Will Freo dominate every stage of the game? Probably not. It's fine weather for the evening Anzac day game, it will be backed out and the crowd and the team itself will be looking for a good showing after a terrible performance in Sydney. What bothers me is Freo's lack of forward options and goal kickers. We already have proven we aren't a high scoring team and without our key small forwards I wonder if we can score enough to "smash" anyone right now. Personally I think 1-39 is the best option for this game, it's not a game I would wager heavily on. My play will be a DT score over for Fyfe I think.

Round 6 ML MULTI/PARLAY
2x St Kilda ML/Freo ML/Gold Coast ML ($2.20 @ sportsbet)
Something new here and definitely risky taking the juice on these three favourites, however I like the play. St Kilda is the tricky one, I am definitely under no false pretenses thinking they are a quality side however they have had quite an impressive showing this season so far (many prediciting they would win 2-4 games only). Their win against the Bombers was courageous, Nick Reiwoldt is having an inspired season and with Stevens back in the midfield they are more than capable of putting Brisbane away on Anzac day. Fremantle are a juggernaut at home and should play good enough footy to beat the Roos in what I think will be a tough game. Gold Coast at home are proving to be a difficult fixture for any team not named Hawthorne. They will build their season on the back of strong performances at home and I think we will see a comfortable win here.
1.5x Nathan Fyfe Over 99.5 ($1.87 @ sportsbet)
1x Tom Rockliff Over 115.5 ($1.87 @ sportsbet) 1x Patrick Dangerfield Over 97.5 ($1.87 @ sportsbet)
Nathan Fyfe looked decent against the Swans and I believe will only look better Friday night at home against the Roos. With Barlow out and a few key senior players also missing selection it is crucial for players like Fyfe to step up and take an extra work load, whether that is in the stoppages or going forward and having shots on goal, I believe Fyfe will be in the thick of things. I am riding Rockliff till he has a bad game, there is no one on the Brisbane squad to 'steal points' so to speak from Rocky, he is the general there at the moment and is everywhere on the ground - hopefully see him go forward and kick a couple like he did against the Suns a few weeks ago. Patty Dangerfield has officially been released onto the AFL, the shackles are off (mental or physical) whatever was holding him back is now gone, he was rampant against the Giants and looked the goods. I believe he will continue his form and confidence and put together a string of monster games.

I also have my eye on a few other games this round but I am hoping that the odds move in my favour closer to game day. In particular I really like Port to beat Geelong on Sunday. They are playing at an incredible pace of ferocity on both the offensive and defensive ends, they marvel me at how intense they play. Port have an array of players who fill their role perfectly and do their job. In the finals last year Geelong pipped Port in the last quarter to advance and I believe that will be on their minds and hearts and will go into this game with a really motivated attitude. I would love to hear people's opinions on this.

Was at the final last year as a neutral supporter but cheering Port (with the line) and I agree with this, my only worry is that Geelong are playing a better brand of football right now than they where in the finals last season?
With that being said I have been on Port all year and not sure that I will jump off them here, really need to see team news as slight question marks over Schultz and Wingard are game changers for me as if they dont play I want to be on Cats.
and want to be sure whats happening with Gus and Mackie also

There is a buzz around Geelong at the moment and I think they will be looking to confirm their spot on top of the ladder.
Also think that Port's defence will be stretched will the tall options of Geelong. As aylukeay stated we need to see whats going on with Mackie but pretty confident that Geelong can pull it off this week.

Thanks for the insights into your opinions on the Port/Geelong game. I feel this is a game that can be a defining moment for the Power's season. It's not like I will be dumping a huge amount on this but it I think Port will be a play.
I'm going to add a few plays on Collingwood as well.
@TeamSport hopefully the saying 'great minds think alike' works out here and we cash.
