Game Day 2026 Round 2 Fantasy Discussion

[Forward Press]

GWS vs Hawks opening round no Giants player tonned up. Hawks are just a really tough side to score against for Fantasy.

Yes but Hawks had no tons. Was just curious about a game with 1 ton only, and that 1 ton being exactly 100.

Hawks don't chip chip around that much to get high scoring individual players (unless if they are up big like they were last week against Essendon).

Hawks are just Fantasy poison for their own players and their opposition.

 

[Mr Gor]

The big difference is the kickins, he wasn't getting many while Keane was in, he had 7 last week and it looks like it'll continue, that and a more Lions type game where they look to possess more. Scored 90 in the PS match

Worst case it’s a one week play that’ll make money and be an easy upgrade to a premium

Happy to be proven wrong. I just don't see him going >90, or even 85. Good luck to those that do it

 

[swanny1234]

65 would be a good result, priced around 38.

Definitely upside, but you may have missed his pop score

Cool, think I’m just gonna back it and chase the cash….this week would be the only week he spends on the ground unless he really impresses, and some coin to be made.

I toyed with the idea of Milera, but I don’t have Houston and he seems a safer pick next week.

Sounds like the game tonight will be make or break for so many posters. Think everyone has many Adelaide and Dogs players.

Going to avoid Cook, not sure of his scoring potential, all set for a 120 by full time tonight.

Cook for me opens up a MID/FWD dpp link meaning I can have 22 next week.

Milera needs a bigger sample size for me to consider. His history suggests he's a 60-80 kinda guy

He tonned up 3 times last year, so it's not like he's not capable of producing a score like last week.

He's a watch for me

 

[PrancingPony]

Dawson, Milera, English, McAndrew, Cook, Budarick and Jaques for me tonight.

Both of my ruckmen going up against each other so I imagine one of them (probably McAndrew) gets a shit score.

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Avoiding Milera like the plague. He's got the potential to be great. But ever year I seem to jump onto that mid tier player after 1 good score and get stuck with them.

Billings a couple years ago.
Farrel last year.

Odds of them suddenly being a premo fantasy scorer has to be low. And it's not easy to find time to trade them out in the coming weeks (The red dots will soon come).

 

[bettingonbetts]

Apparently (hearsay) that it was reported on SEN that Thilthorpe might be a late out.
Has me super worried (as a crows fan and) that ROB as the emergency may come in, play very limited TOG. not sure who else can give McAndrew a break in the ruck
Really hope it’s all bullshit

Being a bye round it's not that big of a stress. Even if exactly that happened, our trades probably can't/won't change?

 

[zombiezombie]

I'm not too keen on the Milera hype, but would love him to do well as a crows fan. What score tonight would be a pass mark for those targeting?

0-75 = Poor and waste of a trade
75-95 = Solid but unremarkable
95+ = Great and many will jump on next week (for better or for worse) and you'll be a week ahead

I see the appeal but seems risky if you are still holding players on thin ice that may need to be traded out soon (Blakiston, Parish, Bergman etc.)

100+ for the instant validation.

Its this week or never though.

It's a never for mine.

I’m luckily going gulden to Jackson thanks so someone’s idea earlier this week. Needed a back up plan, didnt think it would be this early

I also bought into those two historically and both were gone during the early bye rounds as a result.

Am avoiding Milera, as I think Collingwood are going to be a bit of an outlier for Fantasy scores against this season at least for Defenders.

 

[Balsam]

Playing all of Serong, Grlj, Jaques, Murdock, Carroll, Blamires, Robertson and Cook. I don't really count McAndrew as a rookie.

English as C
Rozee as VC

Should flip that C/VC... English plays before Rozee

 

[PrancingPony]

Should flip that C/VC... English plays before Rozee

I did end up doing that later on, English is VC and Butters has taken the C.

Re Milera, I think I'd rather wait a week or two and jump on either Josh Daicos
