In part one of Dream Team Insider, Dr. Dream Team takes a look at the players listed as forwards in this year's competition.
David Zaharakis – $443,200
2011 points average: 88.2
Dr. Dream Team says: Came of age in 2011 with nine scores above 100. Should spend a majority of his time in the midfield while also pushing forward and kicking goals.
Angus Monfries – $393,800
2011 points average: 78.1
If he can continue his role up the ground he’s one to keep an eye on.
Stewart Crameri – $365,000
2011 points average: 72.7
A surprise packet who should only improve this season. Might be a nice fit as a unique forward.
Michael Hurley – $346,000
2011 points average: 68.3
Has superstar written all over him but not a prolific dream team option just yet.
Leroy Jetta – $339,100
2011 points average: 68.5
Is capable of a high score, but I’d be looking at other forwards ahead of him.
Kyle Reimers – $293,200
2011 points average: 58.8
Capable of being a dream team king and dunce – sometimes in the same game.
Alwyn Davey – $275,900
2011 points average: 55.4
Doesn’t find enough possessions of kick enough goals, not the best option for dream team.
Jason Winderlich – $246,100
2011 points average: 49.7
May be the best priced bomber. Blitzed pre-season after a knee injury last season and is great value as a DPP.
Scott Gumbleton – $165,200
2011 points average: NA
Too risky to pick given his injury history. Pass.
Ariel Steinberg – $104,200
2011 points average: NA
Will probably be on the periphery of senior selection all year.
Nick O’Brien – $98,700
2011 points average: NA
Should make his AFL debut at some stage, but there are better choices at his price.
Cory Dell’Olio – $85,800
2011 points average: NA
A rookie selection who might get a game if others are injured.
