Game Day 2025 Fantasy Round 2 Discussion

[Phteven]

Thursday: Day, Hollands, TDK (3)
Friday: Sanders, Freijah (2)
Saturday: Dawson, Short, Macrae, Smith, SDK, JHF, Rozee, Bergman, Holmes (9)
Sunday: Clarry, Daniel, Xerri, Roberts (4)

Will then have Ashcroft, Lindsay, NOD and one of Davidson/Kako
Your team is as boring as mine.

Can imagine a matchup shortly with a team identical to mine and the resultant draw!!!!

 

[Trav 20]

I could upgrade the backline or forwardline to have SDK at D6 after bringing in Freijah or instead trade Garcia to Rankine, but I think I'll bring in both Lindsay and Levi (already have FOS) which will leave $357K in the kitty for an upgrade in the following round, while having all the must have rookies.

This will mean I'll be fielding 17 premiums/midpricers this round and hope one or more of Lindsay, Ashcroft, Garcia, Davidson, plus one of the backline rookies in Trainor, Prior or Reid performs.

So my choice is between Ashcroft and Lindsay and $357K or upgrading Prior to Freijah or Garcia to Rankine and just one of Ashcroft or Lindsay.

Points/upgrade or two extra gun rookies and the money...

I think the latter.

 

[Lukebatty97]

Picking 1 to field of reid prior or Trainor is hard

Prior had a good second half with Ridley off

Reid did nothing

Trainor was good but he's a bit green and playing his second came this week, bit scary.

Think this is the go. Focus on banking the cash early and do a proper ugrade the following week. Levi will score just as awell as a potential top 18 score against West Coast at home as Freijah, SDK, Rankine.

My exact delimma haha.


I think its Prior or Trainor for me.

 

[Phar Ace]

Just realised if Doc goes mid, Cerra goes back, Hollands goes wing then who goes sub? Campo!!!

I'll get the trifecta of getting ****ed over

They'll go to amazing lengths to get any sort of a win over team Richmond and / or the fans! Honestly don't know why they don't chase Petty - so appropriate

Hollands back pocket
Cerra on ball

[Drakescoffeecake]

My exact delimma haha.

Me also. Thinking Prior with no Ridley

 

[Exambolor]

My exact delimma haha.


I think its Prior or Trainor for me.

Wouldn't be shocked if Prior gets dropped imo, he was horrendous defensively

You can effectively swap Hollands and Silvagni.

Who is the sub though? Lord? He played pretty well last week.

 

[Nunez]

Amazed Doc is playing tbh.

 

[Barrybran]

Amazed Doc is playing tbh.

Why?

 

[squashface]

Michael “Bevo” Voss

 

[Nunez]

Why?

He looked completely passed it.

 

[SM]

He looked completely passed it.

14 touches as sub?

 

[happy_eagle]

14 touches as sub?

From the bits I saw, he looked slow and old.

 

[Balsam]

My exact delimma haha.


I think its Prior or Trainor for me.

I don't have Prior, so my choice is between Reid and Trainor. Thankfully? I have Leake on the bench, so can loop anyway.

If things go according to plan, whichever one I choose won't be best 18 and the decision means nothing...

 

[Phar Ace]

Wouldn't be shocked if Prior gets dropped imo, he was horrendous defensively

He got better as the game got longer I thought - but yeah, started ordinarily.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

 

[WaynesWorld19]

SDK, Freijah, or both?

Other trade option is Day to Powell or Knevitt?

SDK .....Dale back, just not 100% on what Freijah's role is going to be ?

Presumably, SDK v Boyd this week

 

[FlowersByIrene]

14 touches as sub?

You should go back and actually watch it.

Maybe put it down to coming on cold from the sub. But he was awful

 

[SM]

You should go back and actually watch it.

Maybe put it down to coming on cold from the sub. But he was awful

I did actually watch it. I thought he was fine.

 

[happy_eagle]

Scratch this, i've realised that I can just get both SDK and Friejah this week.

I was worried about moving Leake on to Hall, but Hall probably isn't as much of a must have that I shouldn't just take the points now. If I trade Taylor instead of holding I can get 18 mid pricers or premiums on field without relying on any rookies.

Thursday: Day, Cerra, Hollands, T.DeKoning (4)
Friday: Sanders, Freijah (2)
Saturday: Dawson, Short, Macrae, Smith, S.DeKoning, NWM (6)
Sunday: Washcroft, Clarry, Sheez, Daniel, Xerri, Roberts (6)

Will then have Ashcroft, Lindsay, Garcia and one of Davidson / Warner snapping at their heals to keep them honest.

Ideal "best 18"

Thurs: W.Day, Cerra, TDK (3)
Fri: Sanders (1)
Sat: Rankine, Rozee, Taranto, Short, Macrae, B.Smith, SDK, NWM (8)
Sun: Oliver, Daniel, Xerri, Roberts (4)

Then 2 on field scores from the following
L.Ashcroft, Lindsay, H.Garcia, FOS, Prior

And then the following players loopable
Z.Reid, Trainor, Campo, Hewett, Boyd, Davidson
