Injury Update - Finals Week 3

The final four teams battling it out for a Grand Final berth are pretty close to full strength, which is nice for DT coaches.

Collingwood's Josh Fraser should return after being a late withdrawal last week (which hurt some DT's). Matthew Egan from the Cats is apparently 'doubtful', but at the All Australian team function thing last night, he said he was right. Watch this space!

News today said that Roos forward Corey Jones will miss the rest of the season with his injured foot and Port Adelaide's Nick Lower and Damon White are a week away from returning.

DT Talk Episode #15

In the 15th installment of the amazingly popular (haha) DT Talk YouTube Show, Roy is delightend in the Chris Judd to Carlton rumours and we check on the DT Talk Finals League after a new ad celebrating DTOPIA (not Septopia as the AFL are calling it). That Chris Crocker 'guy' from the internet (leave Britney Spears alone) isn't happy about the treatment that Nathan Bock has received on the show this year and has some words to say about that! Roy got a letter about a pretty cool Portugese beer. Vin tries to prove to us that you can get pissed on 'lite' beers. We plug our awesome stubby holders and t-shirts (go to ebay.com.au and search for "DT Talk") and finally, Chopper 'chops' another player! A sensational episode!!

DT Talk Finals League - Week 2

Well, another huge week in the DT Talk Finals League! We had the extra time in the Eagles v Magpies game (good for some extra DT Points), some blokes who didn't 'buddy' step up this week, late withdrawals and a double points round that made our scores look bigger!

The correct answer for captain this week was Dane Swan with 316pts followed by Matt Priddis (286pts), Dean Cox (278pts) and Shane O'Bree (250pts).

Juddy is not alright with me.. this week!

Big news is that the Juddernaught - Chris Judd is out with Ben Cousins (ink related hamstring injury). Way not to step up in finals boys... But West Coasters will be happy that Ashley Hanson and Chad Fletcher are back (decent DT point getters).

Kangas got rid of Corey Jones for his god awful DT score (and his sore foot) and Leigh Brown to bring in draftee Lachlan Hanson (can he hit the DT big time this week??!!) and Ed Lower (who??!!).

The Hawks and Magpies have named an unchanged team... but there could be some late withdrawals or injury concerns... (Hodge, Brown, Cloke - but should all play)...

Double points round - don't f*ck it up! Go DT Talk league - biggest in the whole comp!

DT Talk Episode #14

This week is a jam packed episode with an update of how the biggest DT Finals league is going (yes, our DT Talk League), we hear from an angry Vin in the States who has had a few too many light beers and we check out what Ben Cousins' tattoo really says. Our old mate AB from Perth sent in a new song - so we made a film clip for it - another tribute to Kevin Sheedy called "Sheedy Yeah", this time from the Aboriginal players that he has helped over the years. Chopper is never happy and this week he has a lot of reason to be - 187th in our DT Finals league... pathetic, so he takes it out on some under achieving players from the weekend - a great Chop's Chopping Block! All that and more on everyones favourite YouTube show all about Dream Team!

Injury Update - Finals Week 2

Some big injuries for DT Finals coaches to think about ahead of this weekend's Semi Final matches.

Firstly, the West Coast Eagles will be depleted - say goodbye to Ben Cousins for the year with a torn hammy, captain Chris Judd who has been carrying an "I-can't-run-or-get-the-ball-or-even-make-my-DT-coaches-happy" injury for a while now, is likely to miss this week and Matt Rosa will miss with a stuffed shoulder. Keep an eye on David Wirrpanda's groin and Brett Jones' scone (possible broken nose and cheekbone damage) as both could sit out or if they play, stink it up!

The other concerns for this weekend are the sore knees of Luke Hodge (Hawthorn) and Anthony Rocca (Collingwood). These dudes hurt themselves during the game, but played them out with DT scores of 109 and 111 respectively. Hodgey's team mate, Campbell Brown ran into the goal post on Saturday, but from all reports he is mega keen to play, and probably will.

If you caught any of Monday's new reports, you might have seen Kangaroos' football operations manager Donald McDonald (yes, that is his real name) telling the media about some players with injuries and 'sore spots' as he put them. Behind him, Corey Jones (a pitiful 55 DT points on the weekend) was hobbling along on crutches... maybe we have to count him out!
