Strategy 2024 Planning Thread

Might go with a young midpricer policy to try and jag a few breakouts.

Mitch Owens has had some huge scores and just needs to build some consistency. I'm also keen on Windhager.

He Averaged 92 for the first 9 rounds but once Ben King came back in Round 10 his average dropped to 71 in the last 13 games.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Aiden Corr apparently gone down with a serious leg injury today. The cupboard is well and truly bare for North key defenders!

Great news for Biggie and Pink (102k) JS

If you want a Hawk, Josh Ward could be the one.

What's the goss on role this year

What's the goss on role this year

Training as an inside mid according to early track watchers. Spent the majority of 2023 on a wing.

Other early rumour is Karl Amon to half back.

The other potential breakout consideration is Josh Weddle who looks likely to assume a wing role if Amon and Ward do indeed shift around.

McKercher playing the HBF seagull in match sim apparently.

Tho Fisher was in rehab group.

Sounds like it could be Sheezel, Kerch, Fisher and Bergman rotating through the back flanks for North this year.

Anyone who can actually defend going to play back?

Is Pink a mature ready to go type?

Well tbh, we saw how you finished 9th with a D50 of O'Donnell / Richards / Keath / Dale / Jones / Vandermeer and thought "we could do that".

AFL fantasy have gone down the skipping opening round route.
Hopefully SC is different.

100,000 identical teams for round one if we are all picking from the 10 teams that miss round 0.

Better get the VC/C right!

Yep. Can't see how you could pick any players from those teams but I also cant see how you skip them all. Going to make rookies hard as there aren't normally that many to choose from.

Some popular names too. Daicos, Miller, Walsh, Neake, Dunkley, Cripps, Green, Kelly, Gulden, Adams, Gawn, Grundy, Oliver, Petracca.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Should have a good choice of rookies this year but damn does the extra byes hurt with planning. Why cant they just have round 0 as a northern states special round and have 5 games in Sydney Canberra and Blacktown and 4 games at cairns, goldcoast and the lions temp place.

At the moment the only rookies in the first round I would consider are outside the top 10 maybe and Windsor. Mckercher likely to spend most of his on the forward flank. I don't think he'll have the tank yet to play wing much. Reid will be split between forward and midfield likely and likely play like Dusty in his first year (avg about 75.). Curtin I dont see playing many games in his first year. Duursma a marking forward. Watson same as mckercher but has more competition for spots. Sanders will be a 60 avg at most because he'll be a pressure forward and they dont score high in a dogs side. Caddy likely avg similar to Perkins or Cox first year but only if he starts forward (50 avg). Line through O'sullivan as he'll probably play like 5 games at most. Same with Read. Walter will likely play a few more games if he has the tank but I dont expect he'll be a high scorer. Windsor Is the 1 I'd look at most because he play flank/wing most taking over pickett who they want to rotate in the midfield if possible and is body ready. Bonus if he starts back. Rogers most likely a forward pocket. So out of those Windsor, & *Wilson.

As for Mid-Pricers and premos I'll wait to see closer to round 1. Most likely Clayton Oliver I would look heavily into during the pre-season. Also Gawn as he is free of Grundy.

McKercher has been training on a back flank

Could they have infinite trades up until round 1? Would that work?

I Like this. Just make the 0 round a hail mary/free for all. Then change back to a regular format round one with a full compliment of trades etc.

That approach has been confirmed for AFL Fantasy format

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Don’t think I’ll play if that first round doesn’t count. What’s the point?

 

[Tex Danger]

No it hasn’t. AF is starting rd 1 and ignoring OR (except for including OR scores in averages/price changes once rd 1is complete)

I understood there was unlimited trades (fanatasy) between R0 and R1 .....but stand to be corrected

 

[Choppers]

AFL FANTASY will commence in round one in 2024, a week after Opening Round, as the team at Fantasy HQ looks for the best way to navigate the unique start to the season.

With Opening Round to consist of just four games, the Official Fantasy game of the AFL will start a week later with a full slate of nine games from March 14-17.

Prices will not change between Opening Round and round one. Scores from players who participated in Opening Round will impact their price movements after round one. This, along with timing of bye rounds for certain players, will dictate some strategy with initial team selection.

AFL Fantasy starts in round one, other changes for 2024

The introduction of Opening Round means AFL Fantasy will be a little different in 2024
