AFLW 2025 AFLW Fantasy - round 2 trades and discussion

[Atavistic]

Better second half for Zarlie, and Centra is doing better this week too.

 

[JADED]

Happy enough with a 71 after that first half from Zarlie, throw in a late tackle and it'll look passable.

Centra, Howley & Kos making a bit of cash helps the bench.

If Howley can tick along til Sierra Grieves debuts, that would be ideal.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Given she had to go off for a HIA, I'll take a 71 from Goldsworthy. Looked much better in the second half. With concerns around Beeson, still reckon she's a handy pickup.

Decent score from the new recruit Barnett. Kos will make a little and probably be a hold, but Brown at utility is getting yeeted as soon trades open.

 

[Barrybran]

Better second half for Zarlie, and Centra is doing better this week too.

Happy with 41 from Kos as well. Gets her cash going.

 

[Saints2001]

42 from Howley a bit lower than I hoped but she is utility.

71 is disappointing for Zarlie but 50 points in a half is an improvement. Should have gone Barnett though ha, backed up with another 71, same score but 300k or so cheaper.

Let's see how Charlie goes.

 

[Saints2001]

Friend is taking quite a few kick ins for the Saints...not Watson.

 

[Atavistic]

Gardiner smashing it.

Fish and Ham doing well.

 

[Barrybran]

Swans girls are killing it. Playing fast and winning everything. Thankfully, I have Ham, Molloy and Fish but Gardiner looks like an early target.

 

[JADED]

Glad I grabbed Molloy.
(Offsetting Goldsworthy & Harris)

 

[Shaunn]

Glad i jumped of Rowbottom to field Fish and upgrade other areas, mate who won a hat last year talked me out of Molloy the campaigner.

 

[samFFC]

Not sure whether I should give Kos another crack. She had a round high of 18 cbas and snagged a few hit outs but conspicuously spent most of the day running around like a headless chook, not knowing which way to turn.

These Irish girls, understandably, can take a few games to get accustomed to the added speed, pressure and physicality so you would think she is going to improve. The question is by how much and at what velocity.

If Fleur Davies is named then it’s a no-brainer and she has to go.

Pretty much, yeah. We saw the exact same thing in the opener last season with O'Dowd, but there weren't two other rucks waiting in the wings so they gave her time.

Be careful basing things off Fleur though, she's been used more as a forward utility recently, playing for Nightcliff in the NTFLW and booting a couple in the grand final. We're down to a 28 player list now, with a few injuries on top of that, there's gunna be some weird positioning going on to cover Parker. Would not be surprised to see all three named this week.

Kos pretty reasonable against the two-pronged Pies ruck attack.

 

[samFFC]

Pleased with the bench -
-Centra back in right direction, cash to be made, trustworthy back up
- Ott, Kos, Howley ticking over

Went with
1. Carruthers to Tonon (annoying with the late change I didn’t just have her)
2. McDonald to Bogue
(Silly me starting with 2 Dogs!!!)
3. Parker to Conti

 

[Vacuous Space]

Ham ton 10 minutes into the third quarter. Loz shortly thereafter.

 

[Atavistic]

Rowbottom no tackles, ugh. She usually gets a lot.

 

[samFFC]

Mon-TON-a Ham

 

[Atavistic]

Mon-TON-a Ham

Row-hit-rock-bottom.

 

[RustNeverSleeps]

Wreath for Heath.

 

[Saints2001]

Yeah wrong decision to keep Charlie...thought Whitfort might help.

 

[dplggr47]

GWS are dominating but Goldsworthy is nowhere near the footy

should've gone Molloy

 

[dplggr47]

Gardiner smashing it.

Fish and Ham doing well.

Gardiner is just incredible to watch. Just racks it up. Zippy has been impressive too. So much composure, quick and great disposal.

 

[dplggr47]

Wreath for Heath.

I decided to put Rentsch on field and out of all the defenders, I end up trading out the one that will score the highest in Paxman. Such a lottery sometimes. Huge score 1 week, absolutely down the next.

 

[Barrybran]

should've gone Molloy

I've got both. I've got all six of the top owned forwards.

 

[Atavistic]

I need to take my trades back.

They need a new feature where I can reverse trades if I don't like the score.

 

[dplggr47]

I've got both. I've got all six of the top owned forwards.

Nice. Only had enough to get one of them this week. Molloy will probably be out of reach next week.

Anyone watching the Melbourne game? Has Heath been pushed out of the middle completely?

 

[dplggr47]

Gold Coast are looking like the worst team in the AFLW though (alongside Bulldogs).
Also good to see Ham's TOG increase.
