Introduction and Start of the Season

Welcome to the first of what I hope will be a series of entries discussing, celebrating and at times commiserating the week that was in the 2010 AFL Dreamteam.

I am hoping that this will be something that those who already get statistics, ideas , discussion and even software from me can use as a place to have even more discussion and fun.

It is right before round 5 of the season and there has already been some very important moves, trades, good performers and shockers that have happened. Before I get too far into that though I want to clear up a few things. The resources that I use for my statistics and software that will be regularly discussed and mentioned are:

AFL Dream Team Site - Player data, costs, 2010 season stats etc

Fantasy Freako weekly email - Preseason statistics, some weekly stats (minutes on ground etc) and more

Injury Update - For current player injuries, when occured and recovery dates

AFL Website - Player selections (in the Teams new post each week)

Also before we get too far into it I want to explain that when I refer to the Magic Number I am referring to the value of $/points that is used to calculate the new player values. The next post will be all about it and will hopefully result in the software that I make to be much much more accurate.

But for now that will do as an introduction and there hopefully will be much more coming soon.
