When he came second in the Dreamteam, his averages were:

Scott Murrin
Home Average : 510 (approx)
Away Average : 245 (approx)

The total points that QLDers have in the DT isd a flawed perception as to how they can get points. It's not until you split them up that you can see that if the numbers even reduce in a season, it will be impossible once they work out (properly) how the online system works.


Thanks Dave
Scotts Home average of 510 was a very different system in season 2 though, on line points have dried up completely. Like I said Wabbit had the best National average in season 3 with 198....
Next season, once all the Queenslanders catch on to the dreamteam concept and start playing on line, no other state will be able to compete. At the moment, they just need to get their 10 games up and they're good.
Has to remain as it is for season 4 I would think, as the season has started, which is OK, but perhaps a bit of a look for 2011 ?
Top 10 Dreamteam for season 4 will all be Queenslanders, does not mean that they are any better or any worse than anyone else in the country. I'm sure they have the same mix of good players and bad players just like every other state. Just means when we kick a goal we get 6 points, and when they kick a goal, they get 10.

Well said Pete

Great subject.

Well played Dave & Pete.

How about a DT scoreboard comprising of your positions in the State leaderboard + position in Home leaderboard with lowest 5 scores to win DT spots?.ie 1st in State + 1st in Home = 2pts Winner winner winner

Or, one DT Winner per state. No "one" dream team winner, but a few.

So it would be a dreamteam winner from SA, a winner from VIC, a winner from QLD, a winner from Northern NSW, and a Trudgeon.

Their will be a change in Home Game fixture and I won't be releasing full details on all changes just yet.

The fact remains that we are talking about a small minority of players that a FT points chasers and that many of you who defended the State scorebaord argument (regional vs. metro) are now taking the Gundog defense to a national level because one region is an 888PL stronghold and goldmine of players.


The fact QLD has such a stronghold and goldmine of players, what are the incentives for SA and VIC players to play multiple venues if they can't win a cash prize though either Dream team or state leaderboards??

The thrill of winning. The love of the game. The social aspect.

It SHOULDN'T be all about the Dream Team. Yeah, it's nice, but I'm sure those on it would rather run deep at a Grand Final.
I'm not perfect. I'm what perfect aspires to become
