Discussion 2024: AFL RDT Dream Team Discussion
- Thread starter Tex

My approach to DT is very similar to SC, but with three key nuances:
(1) Make sure that whoever you’re picking as a premium is actually a premium in this format. Some of the big SC names don’t accumulate enough ball to be DT relevant.
(2) Load up on midfielders in the forward line especially, and typically in defence as well.
(3) Focus on getting the very best players on each line - value picks are less required, and less successful overall, than in SC, in my experience.

The only real change for DT to SC is to remove the SC goggles.
Quantity is all that matters, kicking is much more valuable than handballing. Tackling is a lot more valuable in general.
Cheap outside players score more favourably here, inside players who tackle score similarly well. Defenders, rucks and forwards all score considerably worse in DT, mid premium level is lower but not as much. Value is generally more likely throughout the season.
I find you can't start as many premiums usually.
The other thing I've generally found is midpricers aren't as viable as the types who score well are more focused. The intercept defenders, goal creators, rebound 50 and high contested/efficiency disposal guys all score nothing extra in DT so someone like a Rioli or Coleman who look sound bets to go towards 90+ range in SC based on a lot of that stuff will struggle to go 80+ in DT.
On a positive, the butchers like Taranto are a lot easier to have

- The mix of players from SC is totally different ...
Footywire is my main one. DT scoring is identical to AFL Fantasy.

Yep .. it doesn't provide RDT BE's but I think we might be able to get around that amongst ourselves is this thread ...
- I've got the formula and easy enough to compute with a little input like the BBL ...
- Reminds me to track DT scores this year as I don't always do so ... even if I don't all I'd need is the last 3 scores, current price and ability to calculate the new MN (see above point) ...
- I won't do it for all players but could do those on request ..
