To kick off this new column I will go through each of my Dreamteam leagues and keep you up-to-date on how I’m tracking. This year is alot different then other years in regards to dreamteam I have taken on the challenge of being in more leagues and put in alot more time and research into getting the best team ready for the 2011 season. This year I’m apart of the following leagues:
- Footyhigh League
This is our websites main league and this involves all of us from the site as well as some friends and this year is going to be very competitive with alot of decent scores posted so far.
- Longy’s League
All the Footyhigh boys are in this league, just another league with friends so far it has been mixed with scores but hopefully it ends up being a competitive league.
- Knock Off Maxy5
This is one of Nick Maxwell’s leagues where out of the 5 leagues the grand final winners will win prizes, the highest grand final points scorer will get grand final tickets for this year while the other grand final winners will get 4 tickets to any round one game in 2012. Follow the progress of my team Beno’s Ganstaz at Nick Maxwell’s Dream Team league No 5.
- Beat Swatta’s Swags
I’m in this league with fellow Footyhigh panellist Sarge. This league includes Wayne Schwass from foxsports and overall the league is very impressive so far with some very high scores.
Recap of Round Two: Score 2044
This week I made a big decision to make Leigh Montagna my captain instead of sticking with my safe option of Dane Swan and I paid for it big time with the difference if I would have had Swan captain 150 points. I went with Leigh Montagna purely for the fact that the saints were playing the tigers and his past stats against the tigers have been very good, from now I’ll be sticking with Swan as captain.
My GC players coming into the team I didn’t have that much of a selection issue but I put in Swallow and Matera to cover the two bye players I had while I left Harris on the bench and while I got to attend the Suns Vs Blues game at the GABBA we all know the Suns got belted but through some periods of the game there were some good plays by the suns and Harris played a major part in those plays so he will be a definite starter for me next week.

Although I went with the risk of going with a different captain and not paying off I still managed an ok score and still managed four wins which I was pretty pumped about. So far I’m 2/2 in all leagues with the highlight of last week knocking off both footyhigh panellists Sarge and Matty p not only did I win I belted them and this was my first Dreamteam victory against them both, I have a bit of advice for you both “watch how the master does it” I’m planning on WINNING every league this year.
Round 3 Preview
This is going to be the toughest round so far as I’m facing the trend setters so far in leagues 2,3 and 4 but I’m pretty confident and will walk away with 4 wins again it’s going to be tough but I look forward to telling you all about my victories next week.
