Game Day 2025 Fantasy Round 6 Discussion ...Ch-ch-changes

[WaynesWorld19]

Everywhere you go this week ....the coffee chat ...the online chat ....it's all been about the new DPP changes

Suddenly, having Petracca is a good idea ....it has flipped and become a master stroke play ...who woulda thought?

My side feels like a chess board now ... and what was it, 70 new DPP players .....I have players zipping all over the place ....it's mindboggling
Yes, this week Lashcroft is FWD ....Sheezel is MID ...so I can get both Bice & Reid on-ground as two of my anticipated stronger scoring Rookies

The ability to tactically re-structure your side each week, feels like it has gone to another level of play

Taggers, the scourge of the Fantasy Coach ....like Cockroaches they just hang around ....this week our predictions are:
Jordon v Butters
Sparrow v Serong
Bedford v Rankine
McIntosh v Rowell
Windy v Richards
Maginness v Holmes

Does Rozee stay in the HB role ....or will Kenny flip the finger at us Coaches
Does McGovern potentially back, impact Maric who had 10 kick-in's for his 78 pts last week .....how often will oppo teams kick 19 pts BTW

And in other predictions, we bring you the results of this week's Rookie Lotto:


In order of balls out ....the draw was fully supervised to avoid any shennanigans
1. Cleary
2. Gross
3. El-Hawli
4. Carroll
5. Long ....do we dare ?
6. Brock

A lot to consider this week .....upgrade season is upon us

Enjoy the week .....welcome to Round 6 of the AFL Fantasy Season

Starting to think I'm being scammed and this isn't 2026 pre-season thread I'm looking for.

 

[DP 2025]

Please I need some advice, I am still running 6 x rookies on field - Bice, Reid, Lindsay, O'Sullivan, Davidson and Curtin.

I have money in the bank ($290K) and can go to any mid if I do Curtin to Cleary and then Finn Callaghan to any mid: my options are:

• Merrett - Speaks for itself and against the Eagles (BE 101) but leaves $78K in the bank and still 6 x rookies
• Daicos - FOMO (BE low) leaves $200K in the bank to fix rookies
• Newcombe - Great green run coming up and average is 101, ceiling good as well, leave $360K in bank for next week.

OR

Do Curtin to L Ashcroft (still rookie but has better potential) and Finn to Newcombe, only leaves $9K in the bank

I really don't want to miss out on the Merrett and Daicos options but have to think the long game and getting these bloody rookies off the field....

OR

Other option with the $290K with getting rookies upgraded?

HELP!!!

I have money in the bank and can go to any mid if I do Curtin to Cleary and then Finn Callaghan to any mid: my options are:

• Merrett - Speaks for itself and against the Eagles (BE 101) but leaves nothing in the bank and still 6 x rookies
• Daicos - FOMO (BE low) also doesn't leave much in the bank to fix rookies
• Newcombe - Great green run coming up and average is 101, ceiling good aswell, leave $300K+ in bank for next week.

OR

Do Curtin to L Ashcroft (still rookie but has better potential) and Finn to Newcombe, still leaves $260K in the bank

HELP!!!

Merrett is not the play for your situation ....hunt the value

Both Daicos & Green good options ...that said it's difficult without seeing your team ...but keep a close eye on your bye structure

You've missed Lashcroft ....that's not a value play

Newcombe leaving $300K ITB ...seems to help better with trades for next week ....and that's an important element, setting up for your future trades

If you have your heart set on Naicos ....trade out a higher priced rookie to leave yourself a cash surplus

You want Merrettx2 all to yourself, I'm seeing how you operate...

HELP!!!

Wayne has pretty much said it straight, you’ve missed Levi - no way are you going there. You’re better off going Long if anything with some DPP.

Curtin to Cleary gives you $111. You add your $290 it gives you $401.

I would suggest putting that money on Davidson to a Petracca. Take advantage of the cash in your bank and to get a rookie off field.
Next week prioritise getting Callaghan to Daicos with his run. Callaghan should be safe from a tag from my boys this weekend

just the 8 minutes late, was 15 minutes on one game last week.

 

[Corkintheocean]

James Leake currently streets ahead in my Best Clubman award.

Harry Boyd the polar opposite.

 

[kozi]

No surprises at the selection table with anyone getting dropped and no Pittonet either. Big win

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Can they drop Angus ****ing Hastie ffs!

Edit: Drop Conor Stone whilst your at it. Both stinking up my bench contributing SFA in terms of points or cash.
