Dream Team Couch – 2008 AFL Dream Team Blog

“The Bin is back!”. Everyones favourite trash can has been wheeled back out for Round 19 aka the first round of DT Finals! Just for this very special finals occasion we have in store an extra big edition of the break even bin so that every break even can be taken into account. How big is this weeks Bin? Well normally there are the top 10 for each category, not this week! This week there are 25 break evens for each category. That’s a massive 75 break evens all up.

Okay in the event your new to the site for finals here’s a quick round up of what the ‘Break Even’ is. A break even is a score a player must get the coming week in order for them to retain there current calue. For example Gary Ablett has a break even of 215 (He actually does this week), this means that if he scores below 215 he will drop in value, if he scores above it he will rise in value and if he scores exactly 215 he will stay the same.

Moving on…who features in the Break Even Bin this week? Lots and Lots of players but of course the usual suspects will all feature including Buddy Franklin, Dean Cox, Gary Ablett and Cyril Rioli. Also like usual we will kick it off with the weeks lowest break evens and here…they are
