Game Day 2026 Round 2 Fantasy Discussion

[DenieD]

​

Round 1 is over and done with. Our starting teams have done their thing (for better or worse) and now we see how they back up their performances from round 1 in round 2. Now we get into the crux of the Fantasy season, Trading, which is what defines our year. It separates the men from the boys of Fantasy coaches and will determine if you have what it takes to make it all the way to number 1 at the end of round 24. It's still early season and we only get 2 trades a week for now (until we get 3 in the mid-season byes) so we will have to keep relying on our chosen starting lineup for at least the next few weeks to score for us.

Will your team do better this week? (I hope so for the sake of my mental health)

The first week of the early byes are here, so if you are like me and don't have Nick Daicos you can relax. He won't be getting 35 disposals and kicking 3 goals this week as he has the bye.

For others who have Nick Daicos, his older brother or any other premiums on their bye this week, do you have the cover to make sure you don't lose too many points this week? Will that little rookie that scored a 40 last week step up to the plate and score a nice 80 for us?

My rookie making sure I don't lose too many points this week:

We already have some injury carnage early this season with Gulden and Heeney both out for tomorrow nights game. Just one of many twists and turns Fantasy will have in store for us this season. Stay strong Fantasy coaches and keep keeping on...

Dear Fantasy Gods, As we assume the position may we be truly grateful for what we are about to receive.

Grlj, Jaques, Serong, Blamires, McAndrew, Dev, Lombard, likely Murdock & Cook too. = 9.
Blakiston = 10.

 

[TedDougChris]

How many rooks is everyone starting this week?

If we include my premium rookies, like Dawson, Richards, Bergman etc - I have about 22 rookies this week....

Can't loop a couple and get 23 or 24?

 

[bettingonbetts]

To anyone who started Vis r3 and McAndrew r2, what’re we thinking this week? (With no loop)
Vis on field vs Blakiston? Or McAndrew vs English?
Bombers clearly the easier matchup but McAndrew seems like the better player
At this stage I have Vis for the matchup

On it !!

Liking the fact that almost 6k are trading out Blakiston. Should be enough to ensure he pops a score on Sunday. Usually how this game works.
