AFLW 2025 AFLW Round 8 - Fantasy Trades & Discussion.

[Barrybran]

Better third quarter by Blackburn lifted me 100 places in the rankings. More of that please.

 

[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?

can't believe out of Young and Clarke it was.... checks team Molloy that scored the worst

 

[samFFC]

Ideally

Dunlop to Steele-Park (more expensive but better bench cover and should make some cash over next few weeks which would be handy)

Zanker to TSmith (hoping for pop scores with Brissy’s fixtures)

Then upgrade Kearney.

But won’t be able to get TLR / Watson.

One option is a 300k rookie and get one of them.

Other is to go instead with

1. Same rookie move
2. Kearney to Gutknecht
3. Zanker to Window

Not if getting Steele-Park

Hmm
Not the worst re Steele-Park
No Molloy was ok. Riddell / Garner / Gardiner I feel is a wash, unless everyone captained Riddell.

Kearney to Gutknecht was a wash

Zanker to Window….. yikes.

 

[samFFC]

What’s going on with the app / website??

 

[Saints2001]

Left the C on Garner sigh...was hoping she'd come good but nope.

Missed the Window injury so will take Amber Clarke's 59. Leaving Toogood in was a good decision 2 weeks ago! 1163 with Goodwin, Noffy and Barnett to go...gained 500 ranks curently to 689, presumably that will drop once everyone who's captained Noffy activate.

 

[Shaunn]

Noffy C ofcourse cant get near it.

With the way Noffy is going, I'd say you're kissed!

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Blah, Dunlop dead when I had her -> Davies locked in for a fair bit of it.

 

[JADED]

Crows leak huge scores to mids. Quick look, and a few have had season highs against them or close to it.

 

[samFFC]

Conti amazing!!

Goodwin doing a very solid job.

 

[samFFC]

1,217
(Martin subbed in for Window, Noff C)

Only Thomas to come.

 

[dplggr47]

Conti amazing!!

Goodwin doing a very solid job.

Since Goodwin has gone into the middle, her opponents always seem to absolutely dominate fantasy!

 

[Vacuous Space]

All out for 1440. Barely holding on to a top-200 spot at the moment. Realistically, I’ll drop outside, but should have a positive week in the end.

Dunlop missing her BE is about the fifth player I want to trade out this week.

EDIT: 249th (up 30 spots) after the last game, pending changes to scores.

 

[Shaunn]

I don't even know who to trade from Mclaughlin or Koenen this week, Mclaughlin dropping massive money and role changed, either jump off quickly or hope the role comes back but will keep losing cash :/.

Ooh. Interesting point.
Could she get moved after today’s loss?

 

[JADED]

Crows leak huge scores to mids. Quick look, and a few have had season highs against them or close to it.

Course Roberts going nuts this week to price her out of reach for next week's Adelaide match up.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Come on Barnett, huge first half then 10 minutes on the bench?

 

[Vacuous Space]

I don't even know who to trade from Mclaughlin or Koenen this week, Mclaughlin dropping massive money and role changed, either jump off quickly or hope the role comes back but will keep losing cash :/.

I'm cutting my losses on McLaughlin. Drops a 100 from her scores this week leaving a 49 and a 24. BE is going to be massive and the role was about as bad as it gets. I'll deal Koenen as well, if I can, but McLaughlin is the priority.

 

[Shaunn]

Barnett big let down in the second half..

 

[Shaunn]

1438

Rank 40 > 50

Trading Window in for Woodland and owning Mclaughlin & Koenen im surprised on how little i dropped but overall still a shocking week.

92 point swing if i just stuck with Hodder/Chaplin like i had lined up most of the week which would've put me at rank 19 ;(. First choice trades are generally always better. No chance of top 10 now but hopefully hold for a Hat.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

1427 here, pretty much held rank at 461.

Par must be lower this week, lots would have copped Window, McLaughlin, average Noffy C, etc.

Trades didn't work out, but I've got cash, it's all fixable, Young is alive and there's lots of fallen premos (Molloy) to look at.

 

[Barrybran]

1305; down 200 to 1195

Horrific round. I took a punt on Ellie Blackburn and brought TLR in with my Ash Richards money. I could have afforded Laura Gardiner so I wouldn't say I got burned but Ash Riddell and Maeve Chaplin as potential options killed me. Couple that with Prespakis, Molloy, McLaughlin and Koenen putting up stinkers and I'm sitting 100-150 points behind most people here despite the lowest ownership percentage of those four being 25%.

Onwards and downwards!

 

[JADED]

So many sub par scores on field. With the bench drying up, there's very little punches you can throw when premos score poorly because they lose so much money.

Onfield trades were a +88pts

Boyd (45) to TLR (82) = +37
Rowbottom (100) to Riddell (151) = +51
And 1 bench downgrade who might gain a paltry $20k

1,334 and back 100 spots to 1,200

Riddell probably gets captaincy next week.

 

[dplggr47]

Ooh. Interesting point.
Could she get moved after today’s loss?

I don't think she'll get moved since she's still doing well in the midfield and everyone else seems to be doing poorly. Plus the lack of Gould means her spot should be guaranteed. She just ends up being lined up against the opposition's best midfielder (maybe due to size/speed) and let's them run loose. She does her own thing and they do their own thing. She obviously can't go with them.

I don't think she is the problem ...

- to me without Gould they seem to struggle to kick a winning score ...
