AFLW 2025 AFLW Round 7 fantasy trades and discussion (AND ROLLING TEAM)

[Shaunn]

You'd think she's more likely to put up a 72 like she did last week (or even a score like she did in the first four rounds) than repeat the 117. For me, though, having a CBA mid who is capable of a ton is worth a lot. I'd probably stop short of a must have, but let's just say it was a nervous few moments between clicks figuring out if my trades were going to work.

Last two moved into mids though, different role from first 3 weeks.

117 in an easy match, hawks are harder, could be an 80 average at worst in that role?

Ta, feel like there'll be a bit of safety in numbers too. BE should be low enough that if there is a big ol' swing, I can flick her.
Would really like to just forget about DEF and focus on a bit of bench health in the next few weeks, so I'll probably grab her.

GC do produce inflated results, so I'd say she'd go back down, but the fact that she had more CBAs this week is promising. Her opponent was Rowbottom though, who was GC best player, so they both didn't really do a good job on each other.

If Goodwin wants to put the same amount of attention into Loz Gardiner this week, I'd appreciate it.

80 is optimistic for a worst case. Lots of good mids averaging less than that on teams that don't have Noffy and Hatchard to feed. 10 tackles means Goodwin has a good ceiling in the role, though. We also know she's unlikely to see a tag. Role security isn't the best, but it helps that she had all those centre clearances. I am somewhat off put by having said something similar about Rowley after her big game.

Maybe might be abit high, but from 2 games its and Hawks being harder for mids wouldn't be to far off, Definitely a risk though!

You'd think Goodwin FOMO will ensure that basically everyone who had a disappointing defender this week will make that move. She's at 4.99% as I write this, so we'll see how high she gets.

I'm in the odd position of wanting multiple bench players to get dropped. Reidy would be handy for looping (and the cash gen is dead with a 3 in there).

If Ebert could get a week off, it would help preserve the cash she's generated from that 66 a couple of weeks ago. I still need to upgrade Bacon at D5 and no cash in the bank, so getting ~$150K off Ebert would be a huge help (especially since Bacon probably drops a bit this week). Season-low TOG and Melbourne actually had DEF emergencies this week, so it's possible.

 

[Atavistic]

My options this week:
(1)
Prespakis to Rowbottom
Boyd to Goodwin
P Scott to 300k player (unsure yet)

(2)
Prespakis to Riddell
keep Boyd
P Scott to 300k player
C Murphy to 300k ruck (can be used for VC loop)

Think I might do the second one. If Boyd sucks again, can trade her next week.

I'll be lucky to have 3 alive next week. Kos is probably dead with an elbow, Rigoni is Ri-gone, Reidy may never play again.
If I didn't grab Centra at her low, I'd be in a world of pain.

 

[Vacuous Space]

I'd probably put her weekly scores in a similar basket to players like Goldsworthy and Ham at this point, in that:

Sub-60: Disappointing
60-69: Meh
70-79: Good
80-89: Great
90+: Excellent

 

[Atavistic]

Could Conti be a valid trade-in option after a hard wet weather game?

Had a 110 average prior to that.

Rigoni could easily be a Rig-in-i for Ebert. I'm hoping anyway.

I'm jealous of the Centra cash. Hopefully Loz Young can do something similar. I don't think I'm getting much out of the rest any time soon. Maybe Dunlop. She loses the 19 this week. A decent score this week would be handy.

Just wondering if it's bad to have traded out Rowbottom and then think about trading her back in.

Sunk cost
Don’t stop yourself based on that.
(Although I admit that’s my approach to Watson!!)

Not immediately after a 54, no. If she follows that up with even a mediocre score, you lose cash and have to consider moving her. Richmond also have the fun upcoming matchups of Brisbane, Adelaide and North. So, no.

 

[petits]

Not sure what to do with Hanks. She seemed to spend the entire last quarter on the bench and scored 1 for the quarter IIRC (can't find the quarter scores now), which makes me worry about injury, but maybe not because her TOG was the same as other rounds, hovering between 75-80%.

 

[Shaunn]

Is TooGood a priority trade out over Hore, Koenen and Heath as she has NM and a terrible run? could be a low one.

only thing is Molloy isn't looking amazing, interms of runs Hodders is nice.

 

[JADED]

Bogue might be a hold with Alice O's injury.
(Internal bleeding)

"NORTH Melbourne has been rocked by a serious injury to All-Australian forward Alice O'Loughlin, who has suffered a lacerated liver"

 

[JADED]

Is TooGood a priority trade out over Hore, Koenen and Heath as she has NM? could be a low one.

I think she'll still get amongst it.
I don't have Woodland or Barnett so I'd be happy to swap for either of those in my team, but for now she can stay.

I'm not sure. She seems to still score okay even if she doesn't kick goals.

Got both so only option is Molloy really lol, Hodder also has a great run.

Admittedly, I haven't watched the game, but I've got wayyyy more problems this week than a FWD that puts up a 73 in a one goal game when completely outmatched.

BE hasn't been updated yet but should still be around 50.

Yeah my teams looking decent and currently ranked 49 so im trying to get on the front foot interms of matchups and players who wont be top 5.

Koenen, Heath, Hore and TooGood my worst players so just wanting to go matchup based/upgrade with those.

Koenen has Richmond and good run for rest of year so ill hold her one more, Heath role keeps changing but has GCS, Hore the same has GCS so maybe hold 1 more, and like i said TooGood runs for rest of year is rough.

 

[Nitrogen1]

Think I'm going to fix up my defence. Watson & Heath or Lucas-Rodd & Goodwin?

Nice work!

The only thing I can add, and I don't have the stats to back me, it's more of an observation, Hore only seems to go full 'Captain Kate' beast mode when they're under pressure. If it's a cruisey game and they're leading by a tonne, like this week, she eases off. If they're struggling, she does the captain thing and puts up a good score.

If I had a fourth trade this week, I'd get Hore out of M5 spot, I really should never have bought her in. I expect her to be real average for the next two, until the Freo game.

Yeah i can move her to Bowers but i thought maybe the easy matchup is a hold, but Single could go to her aswell.
