Game Day 2026 Round 1 Fantasy Discussion

[Stoo79]

1167/11C, going alright
English C, Jackson and McAndrew at R3
No Gulden but no Houston
Grjl on field, but Jacques on bench
Dawson and Richard underwhelming

But an OK start

 

[Lukebatty97]

Murdock or Watkins?

Murdock and thank me later

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Has anyone managed to get their preferred option?

Feels like every time I re open the app it defaults back to Projected score which is pretty useless

 

[Milo Cyrus]

100%

Says already up 107k on the app. 4% went there, good on them

 

[tigs2010]

1223/12 C. Not the best start but not terrible.

Friend is on 1274/13 Captain still not used!

Theyre obviously winning rookie roulette lol

 

[tigs2010]

Hectic day yesterday so barely watched any footy but did manage to see Captain Daicos stroll pass for the most seagull of touches to slot a goal at the end hahahaha

 

[mezaire]

1239/12(C)
Blakiston disappointing, Murphy Reid meh.
Everyone else is OK. Went English (C) and Cameron in the ruck with McAndrew R3. Was going Grundy over Cameron, so that was a good swap.
Gulden injury a concern, but considering how far in front Sydney were, pulling him off the ground for a minor problem makes sense.

Reid Meh??? He went 23 over hos B/E in one of the hardest away matchups and he was Freo's 3rd highest scorer!!

You're hard to please!!

I think Reid will continue to get more time in the mids from here. Brayshaw was so poor I can see him being relegated to a wing/half forward role and Reid getting his CBA’s, he’s just a significantly better footballer than Andy B.

Kinda expected Reid to go 70-80 first up, exactly what I’ve paid for. He did better than Lalor which was the alternative at the same price.

 

[swanny1234]

Sinclair, Butters or Trac for the C today? Leaning towards Sinc.

 

[MaxiBont]

Lachie Ash might have the worst fantasy point/game impact ratio I’ve ever seen.

Sideway +6s for days

 

[bettingonbetts]

How long do we think Gulden is out for? Is there any news?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Lots of premiums failing. Grundy, Cameron, Neale, Richards.

Rucks a worry

 

[danster168]

It’s just BS I couldn’t start with Daicos Bont Gulden Heeney Anderson like these byes can f off

u could've. You just chose not to.

 

[danster168]

and he was aggressively shut down by the other two. I thought at the very least, Houston was worth the price rise. Now looking like a keeper.

just shows you that no-one can think for themselves. They have to be spoonfed by mainstreamers like the Traders.

 

[danster168]

If he's only out next week (comes back after his bye) you can hold.

If he's good for West Coast after his bye then you might as well keep him on your bench.

huh? U cant keep a premium for 2 weeks sitting out. hell no. terrible advice.

I was gonna hold Bray but if he’s moved to a wing that’s grounds for a rage trade imo

 

[Exambolor]

If X goes large today it might take the crown for the all time Fantasy kneejerk trade out

 

[Phar Ace]

Don't agree with that. It's as much entertainment as anything. Not everyone is consumed.

nah, whoever they spruik, the ownership always rises. and conversely. Ppl can't make their own decisions. It's like many ppl on here. About 500 posts on people going 'Dev Robertson or Lombard'. Like guys, just make a bloody decision! Back your own eyes.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Murdock or Watkins?

Exactly my choice. I’ve gone back and forward but settled (I think) on Watkins after hearing the coach say “he will play a lot of footy”. At least we know he likes him.

Easier matchup than Murdock. Role may be worse - not sure, but I liked what I saw.

 

[SM]

I think at worst he rests against Hawks given the short turn around.

 

[Phar Ace]

People can and people will listen to it for a variety of reasons. Of course what they discuss will affect ownership. It's why it's there. That doesn't mean people should then conversely go against those ideas because you suggest so. It's all grist for the mill. Not everyone wants a solo experience. Chill.

 

[DenieD]

huh? U cant keep a premium for 2 weeks sitting out. hell no. terrible advice.

yes you can. Everyone who has Gulden was already set on missing him for one week anyway with the early bye. So if he just misses round 2 then it isn't a huge issue. He's a keeper for the year which is why so many people started with him. Why use two trades to trade him out then back in when you can just keep him over the early byes?

 

[squashface]

Very considerate of Gulden to tonne up before injuring himself.

Best 18 weeks make him an easy hold imo.
