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!

DT Talk Finals League - Week 1

228... yes that's right 228 people entered the DT Talk Dream Team Finals league and what a hot contest it is! Some very average performances by so called DT guns (Brent Harvey, Joel Corey - we're looking at you!)

I'm sure there are a few coaches out there that aren't happy! Don't forget you can actually "chop" everyone from your team this week and start again. You can have a maximum of 6 players from any one team (just a reminder it's Collingwood, Kangaroos, Hawthorn and West Coast this week) and round 2 of the finals series is worth double points. It's like everyone is a captain! Good luck!

How did you go this week? Where are you ranked? Post your position in the comments.

DT Talk Episode #13 - Mad Monday Edition

The Mad Monday Episode of DT Talk features Warnie celebrating his DT league win over Vin in style with a lap of honour on Launceston's AFL venue, Aurora Stadium (also see what happens when 'security' come). We announce the HUGE prizes for the winner of our DT Talk finals league (remember to join, league code: 648912) and give you some handy hints leading into the series. Due to popular demand, the vice captains and captains of the DT Talk Team of 2007 are announced with some controversy. We find out who win's the carton on Gamble-Vin and Chop tries to flog off a Kevin Sheedy/James Hird tribute CD (listen to the full versions of these songs at www.youtube.com/dttalk). All that and much more on the number 1 DT Show on YouTube!

Bartel a certain starter

Geelong coach Mark Thompson has just made the job of being a coach in the all-new AFL finals dream team competition* that bit harder by confirming that gun middie Jimmy Bartel will start in the Cats' qualifying final against the Kangaroos on Sunday.

With a limit of three players from any one team, Joel Corey, Paul Chapman and Gary Ablett were shaping as the obvious must-haves in blue and white hoops. Now Bartel's back, one of them must get the chop. Keep in mind that Bartel took a couple of weeks to warm up after his head injury earlier this season. But, then, Corey, Chapman and Ablett are all prone to the odd poor performance, too.

If you like a punt (like Gamble-Vin), then consider oft-injured Sydney defender Tadgh Kennelly and West Coast's delapidated leader Chris Judd. If they make it on to the ground, either is capable of being a 120-point gamebreaker, or a 20-point prick.

Whatever you do, don't pick defender Matthew Egan. The big Cat's out with a broken foot.
