Dear Nanna Dorothy, is nick malceski going to play afl this week? and do you reckon his return will negatively affect Kennelly’s dt scores?
cheers
nice site fellas
Oh Hello Deary, Nanna Dorothy here!
Now, Nick Malceski. No Nick Malceski is not going to play AFL this week, however he is set to play footy this week in the Sydney Reserves side. So he will have no effect on Mr Kennelly this week, however when he does make his return to the AFL side, i still do not beleive Mr Kennelly’s DT Scores will suffer as he is a great player, there is enough room for the two of them and it will no doubt take some time for Malceski to settle back into the team.
Hope that helps sweetheart, Nanna Dorothy x
dear nanna dorothy, who’s good to go captain this weekend, now that chads out, im considering jonathon brown, but im abit unsure.
cheers nanna
Oh Hello Billy, Nanna Dorothy here!
Hmm captain selection is allways a doozy, having someone like Mr Chad Cornes out doesnt help your situation. My advice: the Geelong Midfield, they are playing Richmond and there could be some 120+’s. Jimmy Bartel, Joel Corey and gary Ablett even, now that he’s likely to play. If these young chaps don’t float your boat you could go for Big Cox over in W.A . Dean has had a brilliant year as allways, thus why i call him, Mr Consistency. Brotherly love is also an option, you could just jump on Kane Cornes.
But my safe bet would be to go with the Cats centre line.
Hope that helps deary, Nanna Dorothy x
Dear Nanna Dorothy, is Stuart Dew still worth signing? He was named as an emergency last round (round 7) so I was going to wait – but then he played so had a bit of a price rise. I know he got over 100 in his first game, then 57 in each game since. Still worth the pick up?
Thanks
dear nanna, ever since my shitty landlord, told me i cant have pets, i had to get rid of me ferrets, now dreamteams me full time hobby, but im wondering if i should still keep the chadster, atleast tell me some info on captain.
Dear Nanna Dorothy,
whats going on,
as you know im 5th in the non money league and im up against chinny this week.
not a very good competitor but my main ruck fraser may be out.
is this true?
give us some goss on that please.
and also how do you think franklin would be for captain?
if not how about gilbee?
they have freo and feo arent travelling well aha.
help me out boys.
ps IS BLACK PLAYING!!
ily nana dorothy.
Oh hello Armageddes, nanna Dorothy here!
Ok, ok, Stewart Dew, Although he started the season with that big 100, recent scores suggest it was just a fluke! However he only has a break even of 24 meaning if he gets a score higher than 24 he will go up in value. Avergaing high 50’s though he will not go up in value for long though and for that reason i suggest signing a different player, unless you beleive he can re find that 100 point form.
Hope that helps deary, Nanna Dorothy x
Oh Hello Barry, Nanna Dorothy here!
Chad Cornes – Ok well it doesnt look like he will return untill aproximately round 10 (2-3 weeks) So the real question is, do you have someone in your reserves who can cover for him?? If so, keep him, if not, a trade is needed, 2 – 3 zeros is a big no no.
P.S Sorry to hear about your ferrets love, devine creatures they are.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Oh hello Scholes, Nanna Dorothy here!
Ok first things first, Joshua Fraser, tall lad that one! He has said that the injury he sustained in the tribute match was NOT as bad as first thought and he is a CHANCE to play this week, if your goping to play him just make sure you have an emergency who is going to play!
Lance Franklin or Lindsay Gilbee for Captain? Season Form says Buddy Franklin. Despite the fact Gilbee plays Fremantle, Buddy averages 101 points per round for 2008. Can’t not like that!
Finally Blacky, He is MOST LIKELY going to play, late withdrwel from the Geelong game then rested for the tribute match, Stay tuned to the Couch over the next 24 hours to confirm his selection though.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Dear Nanna Dorothy
I just traded Deledio for Richo-I now only have 6 trades left!!!!!
Am i screwed????
Or can i use a few more???
Oh Hello Pommy. Nanna Dorothy here!
Well, the trade was a good one but 6 trades left….6 trades left…what is wrong with you child, by the sounds of it you are but a mere amatuer making school boy errors, better luck next year!
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Nana Dorothy,
what is wrong with barlow from sydney??
he was averaging about 45-65 a week, and now he pulled out!!??
is he injured?
dropped?
quit?
PLEASE HELP ME NANA DOROTHY.
cheers x
Oh hello Scholes, Nanna Dorothy here!
Now Edward Barlow, he is not injured and it is really just a case of him being a young player not being able to consistently break into the best 22, remember he has other young guns to compete against in Craig Bird and Keiran Jack so Barlow is doing it tough but keep expecting the odd game here and there from him.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
dear nanna dotothy,
i was wondering whether i shud play chad cornes this week i hear he is coming back is this true?
Oh Hello James, Nanna Dorothy here!
Chad Cornes you ask, well he did train this week and will under go a test to play, my tip is to stay tuned to the dt couch untill later in the week (thursday or friday) and at that point you can make your trade or selection move.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
THANKS NANNA YOUR THE BEST
ps i am currently trying out for vic could u possibly give me any advice or inspiration
Oh Hello again James, Nanna Dorothy here!
Vic tryouts ey, well it probabley won’t surprise you to hear that I played for the Big V back in the day. Now the trick to being picked is to let the coaches know about The Dream Team Couch, they’ll be so thankful you will be an automatic pick.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
YEAAAH BOYS
GOOD OLD COLLINGWOOD FOREVER
I TOLD YOU FAGGOTS
86 POINTS!!
.
Okay off that.
Nana Dorothy you old bag since when did Paul Chapman pull out!!
thats another dream team non scoring player seeing as barlow is injured and goldsack got dropped!!??
HIT US UP ON INFO WITH CHAPMAN
THANKS NANA DOROTHY ILY

Dear Nana Dorothy,
One of my friends told me that Brisbane star Alastair Lynch was making a comeback for Brisbane and would be playing next weekend is this true, i hope it is he is an insparation to me. Any way thanks.
Oh Hello Scholes, Nanna Dorothy here!
Now i must ask you to go easy on the poor language you seem to use, there are mere children around these parts. Now paul Chapman, well he was a late withdrawal so it was very hard to pick up. Not 100% sure what exactly happened to him, rest assured however that Doctor DJ will know exactly what has happened and will inform all in his injury report this week.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorthy x
Oh hello Sen Lin Hai, Nanna Dorothy here!
As a wise man once said “is that a really lame joke sen lin hai or are you trying to be serious… thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard” – Marcus.
I would have to agree with him here as that is possibly the silliest thing i have ever heard in my 96 years alive, despite the fact that he is NOT coming back, he could not just pull on the jumper and play this week, it is simply just not how it works.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
dear nanna dorothy do u think brad johnson is a good person to get
Dear Nanna Dorothy,
What do i do with Andrew Mcleod? I was cruising at 4-0 and now because of his pathetic last 2 weeks of 33 and 26 i’m stuck on 4-2……
Oh hello Jack, Nanna Dorothy here!
Brad Johnson hey, thinking of getting him i take, i suggest you read this article that Pom wrote a week ago!
http://dreamteamcouch.com/2008/05/09/poms-pickup-rd-8/
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Oh hello Pom, Nanna Dorothy here!
Andy McLeod he is having a bit of a form slump isnt he, now unfortunately Pom i know your current trades situation (You only have 6 left). Now with that in mind i don’t think you should trade on the fact he has had 2 off games, a champion like him will return to form sooner or later. You have to save your trades for possible injuries.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Dear Nanna Dorothy,
I have pick a bad captain ever week.
I can never seem to pick the right player.

Thanks Nanna
Nana Dorothy whats going on.

or geelong?
HELP ME NANA DOROTHY
cheers x
Dear Nanna Dorothy,
I have Jonathon Griffin currently in my 22 and need to trade him ASAP. Which ruckmen do u think offer the best value for money? I was thinking Charman or possibly Kosch.
Thanks Nanna.

hey nana ive got jack, tippett, gamble and nathan thompson in my squad and want to up grade at least one of them with 200k in the bank. was thinkin swap jack for joel corey and down grade thompson this week seein as they play the cats and upgrade tippet next week anythoughts appreciated
Oh Hello Phil, Nanna Dorothy here!
Now phil you say you have not picked a good captain all year, check out this post on dream team for dummies that will be sure to give you some good captaincy selection tips.

Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Oh hello Scholes, Nanna Dorothy here,
Now although which team a player is from and who they are playing is an important facto when picking a captain, it should not be the only one! Look for players who are currently in good form and have a good average over the last 5 rounds, players looking good for this week will be Jonathan Brown, Gary Ablett, Dean Cox, Dane Swan and Kane Cornes.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Oh hello Sam, Nanna Dorothy here!
Now Charman or Kosch well personally i would go Charman, he is the number one big man at the lions whereas kozi competes with king and gardiner, also Charman has a better average and kozi is in very bad form.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Oh hello Luke, Nanna Dorothy here!
I think you’ve got it right with your switch and timing, jack for corey is obviosley a very good upgrade and then upgrade tippet next week, just a matter if who you trade in for tippet.
Hope that helps, Nanna Dorothy x
Dear Nanna Dorothy
I have a dilemna this week, sadly a few of my guys were suspended and dont want to play with donuts. Hopefully valenti makes his way back in but i cant see gamble getting a go. Do you think its worth getting rid of gamble and harry taylor so i can get Ryan O’Keefe in my forward line, if i do this it will mean i only have 5 trades left which im not really liking the idea of. thanks nannny xoxo
Dear Nanna Dorothy
Last night i was an absolute froob and traded the wrong a player for the wrong person i wanted. I was really tired and the lack of sleep got to me in a click of the mouse that will haunt me forever. I traded ryan gamble for a young hawks fella 83k, instead of getting ryan o’keefe. I nearly munted seeing what i did and know i sit on 5 trades left and completely screwed. Is there anyway in the world to get that trade back? i know there isnt but i would honestly do anything.
Thanks nanny, ilysfm, xoxoxoxox
dear nanna,
why delete my post when geelong lost?
Dear nana dorothy.
please contact me back on this one i hate it when youh dont.
im new to dtc this year and struggling a bit.
i have a few trades left but wondering if i should trade shane wakelin for nathan basset?
shane wakelin is a consistent 50-60 but im not to sure about nathan.
please help me nana dorothy?
loveyouhxx
Scholes, my freind, i am afraid your choice of trading off walkelin for basset hardly seems an upgrade, basset will not give you all that much. How much money do you have? I would say cash in on one of your cash cows and see how you go from there
xoxox
Dear Nana Dorothy,
I represent a large pornographic website calle ‘Porn4eva.com’ this website is a great way to make new friends. I was just wondering if i could advertise on your web page and pay you up to $1000 a day?
thanks, rooto
P.S who should i make my captain this week?
Dear Nana Dorothy,
your very old so you have watched a lot of football, so who should i pick for captain for round 18 this week, J. Bartel or J. Corey???
P.S: Plz choose one!!!!
Dear Nana Dorothy,
Will michale osbourne play this week for the hawks????
Will Max hudghton play for the saints????
Will Glass play for the eagles????
Dear Nana Dorothy,
Which ruckman should i have in my team Steven King or Matthew Kreuzer or Will minson??????????
Oh Hello Balesy! Nanna Dot here!
For a captain, Bartel, he is in ripping form! For those players, check the afl teams article and finally Steven King, he’s just a bit more consistent than the other two.
Hope that helps deary, xx
