AFLW 2025 AFLW Fantasy - round 2 trades and discussion

[Atavistic]

Vescio is doing really well now that I've benched her.

Oh well, better than her sucking I guess.

[Atavistic]

I might do something like trade in cheap-ish (or value) forwards who play against bad teams - like McDonagh vs Gold Coast next week.

Oops, I mean McDonagh vs WB.
Port play Gold Coast, so maybe Houghton or Woodland vs GC if they're still affordable.

 

[JADED]

9/802
Thomas, Heads, Rentsch
Marinoff (C), G.Prespakis
Toogood, Tonon

Thinking similar with one of my three trades.
Gotta generate cash before the pop score.

 

[Vacuous Space]

I'll happily take a 69 from Stone. A little disappointing after that fast start (also hit both goalposts to the left of screen). Leaves me on 888/11, pending any alterations to Stone's score. Captain Noffy, Garner, Riddell, Toogood and Rentsch to go.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

872/11 here, not great, not horrible, should better last weeks score all things going well.

Juicy FWD target in Stone is gunna be hard to look past. But there's gunna be plenty of options with injuries popping up by the dozen.

Biggest win is 3/3 positive trades. Don't think I've managed that before, let alone in week 1. Little wins!

 

[Saints2001]

797 / 10 for me. Still have captain Noffy, Riddell, GPres, Toogood, Rentsch and O'Shea.

Glad I benched Indi Strom over Ott (came in for Elsa).
Stone (Stannett) at F5 was good, was similarly close to playing Bogue over her. Window to Zarlie the only one that was so so.

Will see how O'Shea goes tomorrow - candidate to move on especially if Kearney is back next week. Koenen and Paxman have done alright for their price. Clarke can have a third week as well, 31 was not great but she was around the ball still and next week against the Eagles might see more of the pill.

Yeah, this weeks trades would be up with my best in terms of immediate return:

Brown 23 to Forbes 61
Stannett 35 to Goldsworthy 77
Window DNP to Stone 69

Goldsworthy, ironically enough, the only one who won't be very good for cash gen.

 

[Shaunn]

8/702

Decent week so far, Ott's 64 being the lowest score.

 

[Exambolor]

Sadly my Mimi trade didn’t work first game up…. But Stone is gonna be a option for Butler whose been underwhelming for two weeks

 

[Barrybran]

10/838

Pretty happy with my side today. Stannett the only real letdown. I've already made up 3k places with a vanilla side so it'll be interesting to see how tomorrow goes.

 

[dplggr47]

I think Scholz is a must trade. I was willing to back her in because I wasn't sure about Harris' role. H.Harris played mostly forward, but was then put into the midfield in the last quarter and increased her points then, but was doing poorly before. Not sure I could trust that role as my main ruck, but Scholz is just going to drop even more points. Will have to see if I can pivot to a decent ruck like Edmonds, Harrington, Wales or Morphett.

Yeah horrible, i have Birch onfield meanwhile O'Shea on the bench...

The North backline have nothing to do. Port can't even get it forward.

Yeah hoping they junk late but unlikely. Think i might just trade Birch and field O Shea for now so i can get Scholz up to Wales.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Very, very happy I rejigged my entire side at the 11th hour last week to get up to Riddell.

They don't need to junk. Their players spread and run so well.

Yeah i mean for points obviously , but don't see it happening.

nice trade in. You'd be laughing if you started Garner and Riddell. Wish I'd done that.

 

[Saints2001]

Like our good friend Vacuous Space heh.

Pretty happy with O'Shea. 40 for Bogue so far on the bench, will make some cash again.

I had Poustie at utility for a fair while before switching to Howley close to the end. She would have been great value after 2 weeks of good scores.

Yeh, I feel like it's too sideways to go Howley to Poustie, but Poustie is getting CBAs. Howley is on the wing.

 

[Vacuous Space]

Like our good friend Vacuous Space heh.

Crocker still finds a way to ruin it:

Imagine you'd spent three years watching Tessa Boyd at the Southern Saints and telling anybody who would listen that she was too good for the level and belonged in the AFLW. Imagine she finally gets a list spot on North's list of all lists, looks good in preseason, is your presumptive D6. Imagine Crock then doesn't name her round one. Then he doesn't initially name her in round two and she only gets in because of a player being withdrawn. Imagine that Boyd then puts up a 72 in her debut. Imagine my surprise. Who could have possibly seen that coming?

Get wrecked, Crock. A blindfolded potato could coach that list to multiple flags.

 

[Saints2001]

She'll be dropped next week when Kearney is back won't she?

And yes if North don't win it will be a shocker based on their list and what we've seen so far.

On a separate note with 17 points to HT, what is happening with Toogood? 3 possessions...500k isn't bargain basement - hmmmm...
