AFL Dream Team 2010 Player Profile: Dalziell, Bradd

Vital Statistics:

Name: Bradd Dalziell

Team: West Coast (traded from Brisbane)

Age:23

Position: Mid

2010 Price: $332,200

2009 Avg: 84.0 from 8 games

Historical Avgs: 95 from 7 in '08

Pros:

-Is an absolute ball magnet

-Good DTer, gets plenty of cheap uncontested marks

-Has been traded to West Coast and so can enjoy the wide open spaces of Subiaco Oval which suit his uncontested game

-Is still inexperienced and so has plenty of improvement in him

-Has one of the most inside players in the AFL (Kerr) taking the tags and feeding the ball out to him

-Has a 10% discount

Cons:

-Is possibly the most outside midfielder since Nathan Lonie

-Struggled to break back into the Brisbane side this year after a knee injury

-Has only played 15 games, yet is still priced at almost $400K

Best Case Scenario: 22 games at 102

Worst Case Scenario: 8 games at 90, West Coast realise that he is nothing but a stats whore

At a Glance: Superstar DTer, average player. Make sure his position in the side is secure during the NAB Cup.

Aside: I was going to do a rundown of the players involved in trade week and what it means for their DT scoring, but Dream Team Talk already has a full writeup so I'll just point you to them.
