AFLW 2025 AFLW Round 8 - Fantasy Trades & Discussion.

[JADED]

Definitely. I've got Dunlop to cash in next week, but after that it's just Clarke and Young as players I think are capable of making much of anything. If Clarke puts up another score in the 20s, she'll have lost all the cash she made this year. Hopefully Young can find some form at home against the Dogs. She was pretty invisible last week.

On the upside, I'm finally rookie-free on the field, so it's really just about getting as many mid-pricers up to top-5 premos as possible.

Bogue likely next to go for me with the 2 "cashed up" rookies out.
Then Kearney will be drip fed cash. Could take 2 weeks, but by then, she's hopefully I creased in price again. Kearney over Watson has proved a disaster now.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

I am now completely stuck with what to do with my third trade. $455K ITB, but I want to keep a good chunk if Blackburn's mid time was a once off



Kos UTIL.

I've flip-flopped back on forward on Heath/Kearney to Girvan, but it doesn't seem the time to be risking two silly plays despite cash gen drying up everywhere.

Barnett seems an upgrade option, but I wanna wait a week and see if I can grab Molloy even cheaper with the North game, could cash out Dunlop this week but that'd be a lot of dead bench.

 

[Shaunn]

After adjustments, TLR's score ended up above Chaplin's average and exactly the same as her median score. It's hardly a disaster.

Not terrible by any means, but expected more with the easier matchup, but i guess the wind played a part into why it was lower.

 

[2big2strom]

if you were silly enough to have L Young and A Clarke both fielded in your fwd line, would you loop Kikoaks score (34) or hope they both outperform that?

 

[Saints2001]

34 is better than Clarke has done recently! Take it and run In fact it's better than 4 of her 6 matches to date...

Normally I'd say risk it, because the worst that can happen is you lose out on 34 points. The question is who to remove... I'd probably just back them in

 

[Shaunn]

I've late switched from Hodder to Window to keep Simpson and get Park in, if she can score even within 20-25 pts of Hodder ill take it as a win with the 200k+ cashgen ill be making and reassess next week.

 

[Shaunn]

Heath knows how to play footy again after i trade her nice...

this is really funny because I feel like my brain has been oscillating all day between these two thoughts thanks for the input! i have opted for risking it on the back of saints playing GWS and GWS get smashed by WC which is not great signs. Wish me luck

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Holding Bonnie was one of my best moves this season.

Hasn't kicked a goal in 4 games, gone over 70 each game. The perfect forward.

 

[Barrybran]

So my choice between Lucas-Rodd and Chaplin is currently -10 points with a quarter to play...

 

[JADED]

Chaplin.. ugh. Started the season priced $679.
Rd 1 39 so probably got even cheaper.
Rd 2 51.

Always one out of the blue. (Prev years AVG 29, 32 & 50)

 

[Shaunn]

Yep.. its insane how i can keep getting the 50/50s wrong.

 

[Vacuous Space]

What happened to Heath?

 

[Shaunn]

-29 pts and having to pay 120k more or so next week because i went TLR over Chaplin, standard.

 

[JADED]

Maddison Gay pretty good first game back from her ripper year last year. Won't drop under a $mil like I'd hoped. 21 disposals.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

What happened to Heath?

The usual. Solid first half and then nothin'.

She's a tough own.

 

[Vacuous Space]

You started the week in the top-50. I think you might be slightly overstating your level of misfortune.

I'm more concerned with her being listed as 'out' on the app.

LOL, somehow missed it despite watching the whole game.

Dislocated finger per Stinear. Decent one though, had to be green whistled.

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned her, but Grunden looks like she may be a decent option for those budgeting like myself.

Looks to have shifted more to DEF last two games looking at her heat map and scored 54 and 67. Might take a punt on her at F5.

Yeah and still got many 50/50s wrong, even traded out Bowers after her 70s score lmao, shows you can make alot of mistakes and still have a good rank.

The game can be whack if you think about it too much. I had a Top 100 weekly score a few weeks back, and was 1200th weekly the next despite making positive trades.

It’s why I’m sitting back a bit and trying to have a touch more fun with it. It’ll drive me crazy if I put too much into it.

Yeah i mean if you're not first you're last as the other prizes are pretty meh, i just find it funny when i have to make a decision with a coin flip trade in i always pick the worst one .

I call that my 50:50:90 rule. Every time I’m faced with a 50:50, 90% chance I blow it.
