Game Day 2026 Round 1 - Gameday Thread / Discussion

[WaynesWorld19]

That's a fair point, had never considered that.

It's just a habit I got into many years ago ....some of my posts from 5 years ago on the Club Board would not be visible now, hence why I decided to snip them ....to preserve

Not as relevant on Fantasy Boards ....but habits are habits

 

[gutsroy]

Not hugely interested in McKercher, tbh.
Role not clear, Clarko an angry arsonist pissgoblin.
Can see the upside, just a fair bit of uncertainty.

100%, makes absolute sense, really valid point

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Not for me – happy with the Sinc/Rozee/Clark combo, but could see the temptation for some (especially if jumping off McKercher).

I'd rather see him do it again against a side that isn't St Kilda, who have always loved giving up massive scores to defenders.

Plus if you have Naicos ....it's another R2 Bye player

However, COLL were deadset looking to get the ball into Houston's hands last week .....so he's a real watch

Any love for Houston ?

All our defenders had higher scores off the weight of possession down back, plus Moore and Howe both out.
Looked at him, had half a mind to go him, but those are conducive circumstancess, he still only got to 90-odd.
Could work, but not gilt-edged. Should definitely outdo last year, think all would sign off on that.

The other point I've found scary in determining my side, was the amount of "scaling" of scores that occurred

There were some huge differentials between Fantasy points and SC Points in R0 ....scaling had to be a factor

Example: Clarry .....120 SC points ....just 89 Fantasy points

 

[gutsroy]

He relevant?
Don't know him

Probably not, KPF chopping out in the ruck. Article confirms McAndrew to play also

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Reidy dropped

 

[gutsroy]

No Reidy

 

[Choppers]

Which Murray to F8......the Freo one or the Crow?

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Don't think the Freo one is playing

 

[timtimtim]

Is this where I sign up to moan about people jumping on my sweet K White POD?

Already up to 13% haha

 

[Petrify]

Reidy dropped

Wish they waited 1 round for the trap

 

[Scythe]

Reidy dropped

 

[TasSixer]

Reidy being dropped saves one headache tomorrow. Now it's ZZ or Kalani

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Save yourself the hassle and some cash and just start Kalani at R3

 

[AN1611]

People starting McAndrew at r2 (like me) going ZZ at r3? Or paying up for CDT?

It actually shows just how little we/anyone actually knows

Reidy is one of the most highest owned players and the muppet delivered a 34 and then got dropped

Personally I’m attributing it to the Gorringe/Doch curse

 

[Lord De Goey]

White

 

[AN1611]

White

Fair - whats your plan if McAndrews a bust? Flip an underperforming premo to a ruck at the end of early byes?

 

[funguy1984]

White's ownership goes up

 

[Lord De Goey]

Yep, would have done that regardless of who was my R3

I'm waiting to see if Coleman-Jones is playing. Big risk going there but it's not like there's a safe option whichever way you go.
