Game Day 2025 Fantasy Round 1 Discussion

[Trav 20]

2144 and 3.6k.. solid enough. Might require some structure stuff to get both Levi and Lindsey in though

To illustrate how close the competition is I'm ranked 739 with 2178.

 

[kozi]

Take a look at all the cheap forward scores bar Hall and Garcia 59 (with 3 FAs) starts to not look so bad

The hate is mainly cos we wanted 80 from him

 

[Cm Perfect]

2066...horrible

Good picks were Knevitt and Gawn (C)

Spuds aplenty....Perryman, Short, Taylor, Oliver, Day, Sanders and Garcia

Garcia and Perryman the most urgent to punt. I want SDK and a good rookie I missed

Using players' real names, tsk tsk - I was looking forward to "Pooeyman, Farcia, Faylor" etc.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

2120 and ranked in the 7000s. Happy with the Freijah, Powell and Rankine selections. Annoyed I started FOS on the field over Ashcroft and Campo. I was fearful that Levi would be more of a sub risk. Also Garcia very disappointing. Bought into
him based on position, but he's pretty crap at football... Even when he was in the guts today, he wasn't getting near it. Perryman sucked too but many have him, but it's not such a bad thing given his value, his upcoming bye and that we now have a better idea of back options post R1.

Few mid-pricers performing like mid-pricers so wait and see if they have anything more in them.

2114, decent - last minute switch of Hastie to Hall paid off - onto the trades.

 

[amazingjoshy]

2014, ranked just inside 40k

Pretty terrible start. Taking Knevitt out Sat morning was a killer and missing the Levi news is just annoying

Have to pick 2 of Knevitt, Levi, Lindsay or SDK to bring in. Pretty happy with last min inclusion of Hutchinson though

[RustNeverSleeps]

2100 to start precedings... could be worse.

Leake needs to be expunged. Stone and probably Hastie (fu Ross) too.

Need to get SDK (Perryman can bugger off) and Lindsay.

 

[SM]

2024, season done already.

Scored 2014, a couple too many underwhelming performers and missed a couple of the big scorers.

Meek in the ruck, FOS on the field over Levi/Lindsay, Perryman and Ash were disappointing, the main one was definitely Meek instead of Gawn/Xerri that set me back, especially as a POD.

Have Taylor on the bench at least, so have plenty of flexibility to fix my team over the next few weeks.

Didnt pay up over 1mil for any player so getting a 112 from Rozee as captain is very acceptable.

 

[tigs2010]

Freijah had a kick in, CBAs and ruck contests

spudhi uwland was my favourite

 

[samFFC]

As you'd expect, not much differentiating teams in round 1

Good start, happy with this ...but only 74 points separating us

King - all your hard work around here should be worth it!

 

[DenieD]

Freijah had a kick in, CBAs and ruck contests

He also had a goal from playing forward

Freijah:

 

[samFFC]

Who do we think is the best replacement for Perryman down back in a trade? Currently have a defence of:

Sheezel, Clark, Short, Perryman, Freijah, Prior (Leake, Z.Reid)

Any ideas?

SDK mate.

W2136 all out. Starting rank of 4,680th, very happy with that, especially compared to my very rubbish start last year when I think I was in the 70,000s, so it’s a nice platform to start on to make some gains

2144 and 3.6k.. solid enough. Might require some structure stuff to get both Levi and Lindsey in though

Friends!

2,144 also, 3.6k

 

[samFFC]

Saints/ Crows fans - was Garcia really that bad?

4th most CBAs, 5 clearances, and Crows were dominant from start to finish it seems.

59 from 61% ToG in a hammering - surely not too bad for another look?

 

[squashface]

Any DEF rook options I can expel Leake for? Already got Trainor and Reid.

With the Eagles getting their pants pulled down, might see a Bo Allan debut so could be an option there. Not convinced on his scoring ability though.

Not a saints/crows fan, but Garcia just looked to have an awkward role.
Definitely not a rush to trade him out imo, but he did play as a half forward in the second half

Best 18 for the next 3 weeks and his BE will be low, hold for now

 

[Coasters7]

Garcia was disappointing, but with best 18 for a few weeks, there isn't really a need to trade him yet. You are going well if you don't have bigger issues than him.

Also did what was expected. Had the role, had the same PPM. We all just expected a higher ToG that would correlate to an 80 ish

Really is nothing in the backline lmao. If you cant do anything with him id just hold anyway until something comes up, he wont lose any cash(not just because of the bye next week, hes 230k).

If Allan is named id still probably give it a week to see how Allan goes.

 

[Lukebatty97]

2139 without knev/SDK. Happy with the team, really good base and got Levi and freijah

I found him to be small and ineffective at stoppages/CBAs. Just couldn't get his hands on it. This St Kilda side is just really bad.

You’re absolutely right. Should have done better but I didn’t watch most of the games this week so my players didn’t infuriate me that much

 

[TheRednWhite]

spudhi uwland was my favourite

A classic. Made better by the fact that he actually came good for me last year.
