Game Day 2025 Round 22 Fantasy Discussion

[Lukesera]

It's only taken until halftime of the first game, but we've got a game day thread up and running!

Safe to say most people have mentally checked out, but for those of us still lurking, good luck for the round.

 

[Jay-Z]

Round 22 is upon us and it's getting mighty quiet around these parts. Hopefully that's because a lot of you have the week off in the semi final and not because of rage quitting

Last week the big men dominance continued with Grundy's monstruous 150 from 39 possies top scoring despite Ladhams making an unwelcome appearance in the team again. Marshall made a mess of the Xerri-less roos with 142 and many coaches (myself included) were looking at 442 points in the ruck line and wondering why we choose only 2 rucks when there are 6 forward spots and no one to fill them... It was another high scoring round if you managed to dodge the bullets flying thick and fast on Sunday. Starting with Steele's surprise naming as sub and then continuing through Rozee's late out news being sprung on coaches thanks to Ken Hinkley's antics and an apparent ban on journalists at Adelaide aiport. Zak Butters may as well have missed the plane too as a bit of attention from Mullins had him melting down like well.. butter.

This week is a tough week for trades with questions around Rozee, and whether Butters and Merrett will continue to attract tags. Will Goodwin's departure be enough to bring back the old Christian Petracca or do you shift him to a Jeremy Cameron as he chases down the ton or maybe one of the other Geelong boys (Miers, Mannagh) who are all feasting up front. Whoever you've chosen I hope they don't forget how to football just because you've chosen to trade them in


Welcome to round 22 AFL Fantasy Discussion and as always...

 

[Barrybran]

Speaking of checked out, how about Ned Long?

 

[Barrybran]

Nice effort with the OP. May your team suck less than mine.

 

[Lukesera]

Speaking of checked out, how about Ned Long?

OOF, still got him?

 

[Barrybran]

OOF, still got him?

Yep

 

[SM]

Might pick players playing pies, they're cooked.

 

[blackdiamond]

Loved Moore’s 67 to half time but 24 for the last half, what is that?

Always a hard watch.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

7 replies? Sheeeeeesh

Wasted my VC on Daicos.

Nuke was 700k, 93 didn’t get him but not bad value

 

[Uptipp]

Not many fantasy relevant players today other than daicos bro and pods

 

[bettingonbetts]

Jaicos really….
Being a pod in my semi matchup. Grrr

 

[TheRednWhite]

Naicos disgraceful

Going to be a mare weeks, usually start well and then die on Sunday….this time I already have a spud on the board before Friday.

Tonight will be hell not owning Holmes and watching him run around unopposed on his way to 150+.
Hopefully my hacks Baz, Cameron and Miers can also ton up. I also have Zerrett traded out currently so he’s a lock to ton up tonight

 

[Stoo79]

Not posting so much but still enjoying the game and following in here.

Muddled me way through to League 8 finals and am happy to still have something to play for. Am ranked around 5000 and have been for weeks and have just this week finally upgraded my last on field rookie, McCarthy.

Shanahan to Paynes
McCarthy to Holmes

A lot have got here quicker, and a lot could be better, but setting aside bench, team is:

Nas, Holmes, Ash, McKercher, Dale, Mills

Naicos, Dawson, Bont, Rozee, Sheezel, Merrett, Green, Sinclair

Grundy, Gawn

Baz, Jackson, Miers, Petracca, Darcy, Cameron

Yep a lot who should be gone, but potential for a good score.

Holmes VC, Grundy C

Good luck to all except any I’m versing!

 

[MaxiBont]

Holmes vs Smith for VC hmmm

 

[happy_eagle]

Holmes vs Smith for VC hmmm

I'm going Baz but its a toss of a coin really.

 

[Jay-Z]

Martin the weekly late out for the cats. Hopefully means Jezza goes big for those that got him

 

[Lukesera]

Max VC, Baz, Gryan & Jezza tonight

 

[Stoo79]

Max VC, Baz, Gryan & Jezza tonight

Same plus Merrett and Nguyen on the bench. Big game!

 

[Lukes bike Pedlar]

neale turning into prime lockett while cameron is nowhere

 

[MaxiBont]

2nd break for Smith, weak

 

[Lukesera]

Jezza mustn't be too popular in the Top 100, moving up when he scores. GO BIG!

 

[Lukesera]

Holmes ruining my week already

 

[Shaunn]

Merrett trade out looking horrible, should've just looped him and Butters but thought both might have bad scores so didnt want to risk it.

 

[Uptipp]

Vcd Holmes over sniff ,can't pick a vc or could to save my life this year

 

[Shaunn]

Jezza mustn't be too popular in the Top 100, moving up when he scores. GO BIG!

Probably all on the bench looping.
