Game Day 2025 AFL Fantasy Round 7 Discussion - Lest We Forget 🌹

Is he? When has he scored 30 in a full game?

He hasn't... he was sub and played 30% Tog for a 31

Nothing under 70 otherwise

 

[DenieD]

I'm officially in the top 800

In a good position now but need to focus on bye structure. I'm usually very poor during the byes and lose a lot of places, so hoping I don't do that this season.

 

[samFFC]

Glad that the Hawks/Eagles match didn't end up very high scoring.

2,222 (superb - Richie would be proud!)

Slight up to 8.3k. Finally back to top 10k, first time since R1.

 

[amazingjoshy]

2223

Up 150 spots to around 2600

Pretty happy with that after trading in Nic Martin

 

[RilesMacca]

2218, down a hundred spots or so to 1.7k. Will take that given I double downgraded this week.

Lalor and Moraes to a rookie and Trac most likely.

 

[BennyFC]

2296, third top 1000 week in the last four weeks to climb from 39th to 31st overall. Made some silly trade decisions that led to me fielding Busslinger's 42 rather than a Trainor/Reid 74, but we press on. Stoked with Whitfield, Roberts, Daicos (C), Brayshaw, Neale, TDK/X return to form, and Petracca (trade in).

Looking at a few options for this week, but will probably go with Davidson/FOS > Rivers/rook (Boxshall surely comes in, right?). Will leave me with only Bice, Lashcroft and Lindsay as rookies on field with Warner and Stone to trade them up. Struggling with rooks beyond that for the final upgrade, but I think Bice is (almost) a premo anyway so not too concerned about it

 

[RavensFever]

I'm catching up with the top players here woohoo

2340 points for the round and went from 1028 to 292 overall

 

[kozi]

Got aggressive moving Lash and Maric early. May or may not have been the only way to upgrade to Daicos but no regrets

 

[happy_eagle]

2250

Bumped up a few thousand spots into the 5k range which is nice.

 

[bettingonbetts]

2253
Rank 125 to 153.
Could’ve been worse as I didn’t do an upgrade this week.
Hello premo this week
Thinking NWM with his run and consistency

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I knew ....I just knew Stewart was a big problem ...44 points

I should have stuck to the original plan & upgraded Stewart, and retained Lashcoft ....oh well, guess who's getting traded this week ..... twas a very poor trading week in hindsight

I’m calling banned peptide usage over the pre season and you need to be tested. Absolutely flying

Still killing it Wayno!!! Rank 50!

 

[Constantgin]

2283 and up to 1525 rank.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Still killing it Wayno!!! Rank 50!

Problem is, I now lose a week in upgrade season, because I have to fix Stewart ....it's going to cost me

You’re right mate but sometimes these bullets happen. Not the end of the world, might help you to get the best trade in of your life! Fingers crossed it works out

 

[tigs2010]

2187. Dropped 700 spots to 4.9k. 1st down week.

Great rank!

This is genuine advice and not a dig, but you really need to get your cash gen going again, you're about 1M off the top teams. You'll fall off pretty quickly during the byes if you don't.

Hitting 2,300 whilst carrying the Stewart handicap is like a jockey winning the Melbourne Cup with an anvil on his back. Outstanding work.

 

[blackdiamond]

2201, dropped down to rank 1808 after being about 1327 last week so a bit disappointing.

 

[Corkintheocean]

2176 and back around 800 spots to 2.3k.

Not upgrading Prior to a Rivers/Bowey cost me 70 points, another 20 dropped from captain choice (Rozee) and 40 from Serong relative to real premo mid was basically the difference (oh and Martin sh*tting the bed in the second half on ANZAC day).

Hopefully the switch from TDK to Xerri pays dividends in coming weeks, I wasn't expecting a huge positive differential this week given match ups.

Going shopping this week - Whit or NWM for my backline.

 

[Tso1967]

2153 Xerri
Rank 20,783

You're absolutely spot on with that assessment

, I have to give myself a rule to never touch Hawks or Geelong players. They're both similar in that even if they're playing well, it's a complete crap shoot as to who scores well or what they're going to pull that will mess with fantasy.
