Feel like you're getting addicted to AFL Dream Team? Is it spoiling the way you watch football? Here's 5 things to watch out for - Dream Team Addiction might be closer than you think...

5. You know what each stat is worth in Dream Team off the top of your head and the number pops into your head whenever your player racks up a score.

If it gets to the stage of the same thing happening when your opponent's players start to rack up the stats however, you have become a very sad case indeed. Your dreams are overcome by Dream Team 2s, 3s, 4s and -3s bouncing around like little gremlins. You no longer follow AFL - it's now just a means to an end. Geek.

Note - if you play Super Coach, then think yourself lucky the scoring formula is guarded more closely than a parent guards their child at a Michael Jackson concert - you won't be seeing these numbers in your sleep.

4. Can't access the Internet? No worries - SMS updates are for you because you can't go one hour without knowing the scores!

(I am all for it if you only get full time updates, but half time as well is a sign you are well and truly gone).

3. You are delirious when two of your players play possession football in the backline and annoy all those around you by calling this latest fad 'the greatest tactic since Pagan's Paddock'.

Don't worry about the spectacle - while everyone else is booing this shocking innovation of modern day footy, you are chanting 'TEMPO FOOTY' while holding your own yellow Sherrin high in the air!

2. Who said it's only a game? You've punched walls, thrown remotes, smashed glasses or all of the above because:

- your DT player decides to hand ball instead of kick - your DT player lets a sure mark bounce in front of him - your DT player gives away a free kick - your gun back pocket attracts a tag (hello Andrew McLeod) - your DT player gets robbed because of an 'advantage' call (in front of goal this may warrant wall punching) - your low scoring backman is not getting involved in the short pass at a kick in - your player is burnt from the chip around that is clock management or "tempo" footy

But the major one is...

1. You find yourself cheering on your Dream Team players at the expense of the team you support.

I am sorry; this is where I draw the line. Crossing it is not only first degree sports bigamy, but it is really the start of the end. Hand in your Aussie citizenship and book some time on the couch, and no I do not mean with Gerard Healy (although you might find him in the waiting room).
