AFLW 2025 AFLW Round 3 Fantasy Trades & Discussion

Elevated heart rate, actually:

Dees to probe cause of Heath's elevated heart rate during game

Narrm will investigate the cause of Shelley Heath's elevated heart rate during Sunday's match

As bad as that sounds, if they don't find anything wrong, she could play.

Yeh, Ollie Wines has played with similar concerns for years.

1,315 for me.
Rank up 600spots (2,000 to 1,400)
Only changed Boyd onfield over Rentsch cos everywhere I read suggested similar. 40pts lost, but many in the same boat.

Centra played a much better game, but still didn't crack 50. Gonna have to be a long hold if we want points there.

 

[Shaunn]

Who do you guys think goes? Thinking Rentsch and Ott and maybe Kos? then field Boyd and O'Shea, not sure what that gets me though, if not Kos then maybe one of Prespakis/Bowers. Thoughts?

 

[RustNeverSleeps]

1359 with Heath 39 (bpm) and Rentsch 40 (TOG) on field. Fortunate to have Riddell instead of Garner.

Ranking up a few spots to 314. Grieves a target for next week.

 

[Atavistic]

Game open for trades already. Nice.

1271 for me this week. Have to trade out the injured and the spuds.

I have just enough money for Harris to Strom, Howley to Grieves, Heath to Boyd.

Wines has atrial fibrillation. Hopefully Heath's is just a post viral pericarditis or something minor/temporary and nothing ongoing. Could still miss the one week while they investigate though.

Centra is a contested player. She looks really good around the ball, but she doesn't seem to get enough outside ball. This could be a concern as the price rise might stall soon if she's only a 50ish player.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Wow, weird week hey? I ended up shooting up to 1333, despite leaving points on the bench, Heath having a cardiac event and whatever the hell happened to Turbo.

3/3 positive trades, and for the first time ever I'm into triple digits, ranked 837. Couldn't be more stoaked, thanks to all for the help this season so far.

Gunna be a tricky week. Obviously wait and see on Heath, but may have to ditch her. Dodged a bullet not owning Garner. I want Grieves, obviously, but the only path is a Howley or Centra sideways.

Contemplating a premo upgrade, maybe GPrespakis up to Conti/Nanscawen (who has been a fave since her VFLW days).

Need a Rentsch downgrade bench option too.

Whatever keeps cash gen going, I guess. I suggest Rentsch to Grieves via the utility position.

Yeah ive got Grieves in already, not sure on other rooks currently, could keep Ott for another as she should gain abit more cash you'd think.

 

[Saints2001]

Oof how is Boyd 621k already! Thought I could trade Rentsch to her but she's more expensive.

 

[Atavistic]

I'm thinking about holding Harris another week and getting Strom next week, all so I can get Riddell in and captain her. She just seems the best captain option this week.

 

[Vacuous Space]

Your team looks like it's humming along nicely. Just keep the cash flowing and think about what you want the team to look like when you're done. Ott's BE should be achievable, but who knows what Dal's going to do in the face of that loss? You could justifiably hold or trade.

what a good team.
Bowers had a tough matchup against the hardest team in the league. She was on Riddell early on. I stopped watching once Garner got injured so not sure what actually happened. Georgie was tagged by Kennedy in that Sydney game. I'd assume they'd both bounce back, but I guess you can always trade down or up with players that could pop against a good matchup.

Holy sheep
114?! Is that the highest AFLW score ever?

Yup
Sadly

 

[dplggr47]

tbh, I totally forgot about bringing in Strom around this time. Every week, there's a new injury to deal with or a premo failing and looking like a problem going forward.

 

[dplggr47]

Yup
Sadly

If only North got to play GC this year.

Thank whichever lord the Suns believe in!

1,406
Up from 6.5k to 5.3k.
Not bad!

1,239
Up to 4.8k
Slow progress

928/12 with Marinoff C… should have gone with Garner.
Otherwise v happy with Stone and kicking Rowbottom, but going to have to choose between fixing Watson and some underperforming rookies (and whatever else comes to light).

TLR looking like a top defender this season. I had her in early teams but thought she wouldn’t be worth the price.

Lucky you didn’t

Cheers! Yeah its basically get Kos up to a 950k forward but think id rather field Stone till i get Molloy or when Toogoods back.

if not that then i think its Bowers or Prespakis to Gardiner or someone.

 

[dplggr47]

Remember the days when Bowers would get 20 tackles a game and Noffy had that 3-game stretch of 17 tackles per game. Those days are gone now and in hindsight, starting Noffy was a mistake at her price, and Bowers has only gone up 22k this year and is not even in the top 10 midfielders.

I feel like Stone can be fielded especially at F5 and with her CBAs. She started hot, but then slowed down considerably. I watched the second half and didn't see much of her. Molloy would be the $1M target, but might take a while to get to.

I'm deciding between getting rid of Watson or like you, trade Prespakis/Bowers out. Since the pop scores are usually in the midfield, I might just back in Watson to bounce back and field Ott on field for Heath.

Bloody oath. Having traded her in last week basically kills whatever hope I had though. I just want a good year some year.

Yeah my theory is the difference between the mid upgrade compared to the forwards is bigger, so getting a top 5 mid with a good run from here should be more of a points gain.

 

[JADED]

Fish will be worth more than Rowbottom next week.
Lost over $700k with my M1&M2. (Noff/Row)

which means you can sideways her to Rowbottom, but with the way Rowbottom is playing, you'd rather just keep Fish.

Stone was on 55 at half time when I turned on the game. (I was then treated to a lovely half of 0.2 to 0.0). Let's see if she can find a four-quarter effort against whatever team she has this week.
