Game Day 2026 Round 1 Fantasy Discussion

[BennyFC]

To whoever I told not to field Jaques because GWS are the hardest team for half-backe to score against, all I can offer are my sincere apologies

 

[PrancingPony]

Not going to matter how much money he makes when he’s a year-long keeper

Very true, keeps going like this and he's staying locked in my team.

 

[Sneh]

Should I trade out Reid to Marshall?

 

[danster168]

so how are we getting Jaques on field. are we trading in a red dot? seems hard not to.

 

[PrancingPony]

Should I trade out Reid to Marshall?

Marshall would be the better option in my opinion, it could go either way though.

 

[DenieD]

so how are we getting Jaques on field. are we trading in a red dot? seems hard not to.

nope. I'm playing the long game. This round is already flushed for me in terms of scoring well. Might as well keep focusing on cash gen and hope to recover the points later in the season.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Just Bruhnski for me.

 

[Zevon]

Only Bruhn in this one, so if you’ve got any other Fremantle or Geelong players (or 26 of them like DenieD) then I’m death riding them all

 

[JADED]

Jaques (E) with Blackiston on field hurts.
Some people are taking a red dot for Grill, I would need a huge VC score to consider the double loops in 1 play.

 

[PrancingPony]

Red dots this early into the season feels unnecessary, it's Round 1.

Don't swing things around too early for a quick sugar hit.

 

[DenieD]

Only Bruhn in this one, so if you’ve got any other Fremantle or Geelong players (or 26 of them like DenieD ) then sorry but I’m death riding them all

I will be hoping Clark, Serong, Brayshaw and Reid all play kick to kick.

But I am damn nervous cause this could be a disaster if Geelong dominate.

Nah I’m calling it now Geelong are trash. Reckon you’ll do well.

 

[RavensFever]

English 121, worth a red dot or?

Is he VC?

 

[RowellAnderson12]

alright Murphy reid

Option 1/ do a budarick
Option 2/ do a caldwell
Option 3/ do a bont

 

[TotalJoker]

Jackson and Bruhn for this one

 

[DenieD]

alright Murphy reid

Option 1/ do a budarick
Option 2/ do a caldwell
Option 3/ do a bont

Option 4/ do a Murphy Reid and kick 10 goals in 10 minutes

 

[TedDougChris]

Budarick 80+ is an awesome return after a single digit first quarter

Was it the same digit McKercher has been struggling with ?

 

[RavensFever]

Never in doubt and didnt even have him at all last year so great start

 

[amazingjoshy]

Red dots this early into the season feels unnecessary, it's Round 1.

100%

Someone this week wouldve red dotted for Grlj's score instead of just fielding Jaques

As long as you have them is all that really matters at this stage

 

[JDWCE]

To whoever I told not to field Jaques because GWS are the hardest team for half-backe to score against, all I can offer are my sincere apologies

I have you in my sights

 

[Sneh]

Reid was not a good choice

 

[JADED]

Does Grundy have a tough day against Fort & Draper? Also has the Hawthorn dual rucks next week before a round 3 bye.

Originally had D.Cameron as he should run rings around McAndrew.

Xerri the 3rd option but much has been said about mobile rucks.

 

[Zevon]

White hot minute or so for Bruhn

Edit - Uuuuuuuntil they took the goal off him.

 

[DenieD]

Reid was not a good choice

Way too early to say that.

 

[Barrybran]

BOOOO
