The start of the 2011 season is just around the corner and AFL Dream Team coaches all over the country are busy putting the finishing touches on their line-ups.

At the Swans, Dream Team honours are all important. 16 of our players have been busy plotting their teams, and some of our most dedicated Dream Teamers spoke to sydneyswans.com.au about their squads for 2011.

Gary Rohan

Team name - Rohan’s
Must have player - Heath Shaw because he is consistent and always racks up points.
Must have Swan - Kieren Jack. I’ve told him he needs to get me big points every week.
Best bargain buy - Luke Shuey from the Eagles.
Best tip for putting a team together - Have a good mix of players from different teams so you’re not caught short during the byes.

Must have player - Andrew Krakouer has had a good preseason and looks as though he will play a fair bit this season.

Dylan McNeil

Team name - D-Macs
Must have player - Brendan Goodard because he can play in a variety of roles.
