Don’t know what to do now.
Any ideas?
Pretty sure Butters did an ankle for port, not sure if he will get up or not.
What a horrid team, this is a piss weak effort of a team
Well put mate. What the hell is this sh1t.
get your own term Terry you taint
Terry, stop blowing your dad for a moment, and post your own team
Lard and Butters in the same team?
Slippery!
how
Boom, Boom
No Zac Williams? he’s a bargain option, I’d say.
I’m late to the party this year .. can someone point me in the direction of the rules/strategies to cope with this round0 garbage ? been looking and its not overly obvious. ? cheers !
Fantasy starts round 1, so we get a free look at round 0 for how players will go. Prices will also change after round 0. But be careful because rounds 2,3,5&6 some teams have a bye, so keep that in mind before selecting players.
Fantasy scoring starts in Round 1 – you can use the data from Round 0 to make infinite trades till Round 1 lockouts
hey mate. fantasy doesnt start until R1 so OR is void. Players who play OR will have their price change from that round held off until after their second game (Round 1) where they’ll both happen at once. Their BEs will change after R0 though. Try avoid picking anyone (more specifically premiums) who play R0 as they have early byes.
Cheers guys ! hope you call get hats this year :)
Not my problem you stupid idiot. Get better broski.
Hi john, are you interested in catching up for a latte some time>
Your a bloody idiot
Round 1 is when Fantasy actually starts, and I believe there are early byes, but we dont get any extra trade like we have other years, so watch out!
Rankin v Fisher
Thoughts?
Fisher should have a more consistent role and likely a higher ceiling. I expect Rankine will get thrown forward every now and then which will impact his scoring.
Thanks Hammer
Fisher fs
Thanks Max
I would be picking Fisher over Rankine personally, but it is really up to you :)
Im aiming for a high finish this year, and while most of my team is based a lot on high cash gen players, Im thinking about if its worth chasing points with bye premiums. Is it worth starting Tom Green (depending on OR) for his North and West Coast games, then trading him (because he then has a bye) out for Gulden for his Richmond and West Coast games, then trading Gulden to another premium for his bye? I dont know if it’s worth taking the risk or not, but what do you guys reckon?
Good strategy, but risky if you can’t trade them out due to other issues. However, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to keep them either and just sit them on the pine.
Yeah I know, opening round will hopefully clear some things up for me, we’ll see. Thanks for the help. High risk high reward though right? Well sometimes.
You dont have to trade players just because they have the bye. Number 1 rule is never trade your premiums!
I know, thanks though. But I wanna be really aggressive this year, maybe that’s the wrong strategy though, opening round can give me some insight on those guys along with others I guess. Thanks guys
Billings and laird
or
fyfe and dawson
What in the world are you thinking? You are so stupid if you think this is a legit call. I’m not even gonna waste my time with this. Honestly, I would just quit at this point. You really are an imbecile.
Terry stop trolling every post. You aren’t funny and don’t have much of a clue.
I agree with Terry this is very poor and you should be tough instead of giving him false hope
Agreed
with luke, that is.
cant go billings now
F and D almost certainly.
Def: Sheezel, Young, Clark, Yeo, Williams, Coffield (Curtin, Pink)
Mid: Dawson, Laird, Butters, Newcombe, Martin, McKercher, Sanders, Sharp (Duursma, Lazarro)
Ruc: Gawn, Grundy (Heath)
Fwd: Rankine, Fisher, Fyfe, Jordon, Sexton, Reid (Wilson, Windsor)
Utility- Mannagh
Any thoughts?
that’s a really solid team mate. all the best for the year!
don’t give false hope
Really like the forward line, My only advice is look for a better option then Newcombe, he I think is on the drop.
Steele vs Newcombe vs LDU as M4
LDU has scared me off after the preseason game. I currently have Steele, but Newcombe may be better value.
steele is trash
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated:
Def: sheez, young, Clark, yeo, Coleman, coffield (Reid, Phillips)
Mids: rozee, Steele, touk, Newcombe, Martin, crouch, sanders, mckercher (Clark, Roberts)
Ruck: English, Gawn (who cares)
Fwds: fisher, Jordon, sexton, Reid, lazzaro, Wilson (jones, windsor)
Looks solid to me- not too many premiums clogging up their early byes in the same week.
I presume the Jones in your FWD bench is Darcy, he’s confirmed to have a couple weeks off following injury/sickness in the practice matches to play in the VFL. May be worthwhile bringing him in when named following GWS’ bye.
Coleman tore his ACL the other night and is expected to be out for the season, GET HIM OUT!!!!!
Looks good Kobe, Barnet (WC) on ruck bench and you are set. Solid.
Do West Coast have more Sunday fixtures?
D: Sheezel, Stewart, Young, Yeo, Coleman, Coffield (Ried, Shoenmaker)
M: Bont, Dawson, Steele, Martin, Crouch, Wines, McKercher, Sanders (Roberts, Clark)
R: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
F: Fisher, Fyfe, Jordan, Sexton, Ried, Lazzaro (Wilson, Camden)
U: (Pink)
Was still thinking get rid of Stewart and get Clark or Salem and then swap someone for Amon or Newcombe and whatever cash is left upgrade my bench
Should I swap Stewart for Daicos and then Steele to Amon maybe
Have always been a fan of Amon, finished his season spectacularly last year!
May as well throw my hat in the ring.
DEF: Sheezel, Stewart, Young, Salem, Yeo, Coffield (Shoenmaker, Howes)
MID: Green, Steele, Newcombe, Martin, Crouch, Wines, McKercher, Sanders (Sharp, Roberts)
RUCK: Gawn, Xerri (Barnett)
FWD: Jackson, Fisher, Jordan, Sexton, Reid, Wilson (Windsor, Simpson)
UTILITY: Clark (Geelong)
Only got 15k spare and a bit concerned about a lack of captaincy options.
I mean assuming that Martin and Crouch are the non-injured variety it seems pretty solid. A lot of your focus seems to be on value likely to increase and I think that should pay off before captaincy options present a huge issue. Tom Green plays North and WCE early and considering his output against the Pies looks like a great captain – depending on Stewart & Young’s roles (mid vs def) you could pick one of them for your captaincy when Green has his early bye.
Good luck!
Would love some input on this:
Def: Daicos, Sheezel, Wanganeen-Milera, Budarick, Coffield, Schoenmaker (Curtin, Phillips)
Mid: Bontempelli, Gulden, Merrett, Brayshaw, Crouch, McKercher, Sanders, Sharp (Wilson, Clark)
Ruck: Grundy, Xerri (Heath)
Fwd: Macrae, Flanders, Rankine, Reid, Duursma, Watson (Fantasia, Lazzaro)
Util: Mannagh
Thoughts?
Def:Sheezel, Milera, Young, Clark, Burton, Schoenmaker,
Mid: Bont, Green, Steele, Newcombe, Martin, Mckercher, Sanders, Sharp,
Ruck : Gawn, Xerri
For: Macrae, Lipinksi, fisher, Jordan, Reid, Duursma
Zach Reid may be handy @ D6. Less of a sub risk than Schoenmaker V’s Cats R1.
Matt Couch and Charlie Lazzaro or Izak Rankine and Nat Fyfe?
Crouch and Lazzaro
Terry, shit or get off the pot. Post your own team, so we can all laugh at you, the inbred twat your mum and brother created.
Butters, LDU, Amon
Or
Gulden, Green, Wardlaw
Cheers.
Gulden and Green will be great but probably wouldn’t take both given they have early byes.
Also looks as if Butters has done an ankle to maybe keep an eye on that prior to R1.
Think there’s a lot of upside in Amon and Wardlaw and would recommend investing in a midfield premium who isn’t playing in OR for your 1st spot (I.e Bont or Merrett)
Green was a spud in Prelim loss against Collingwood but blitz it v’s Roos last year.
I know it’s tempting to chase points on Green against easy match ups round 1 and 2, then sideways trade him, but this game finds so many ways to kick you in the balls, and ruin your plans. I wouldn’t do it, so many good premium mids without the early bye
Def: Daicod, sheezel, young, clark, yeo, coffeild (Pink, phillips)
Mid: Guldon, parish, steele, newcombe, wines, tsatas, mckercher, sanders (Clark, thomas?
Ruck: Gawn, xerri (heath)
Fwd: Jackson (as darcy is out), fyfe, jordon, mackenzie, duursma, sexton (Wilson, mannagh)
Utl: Roberts
Any thoughts of this team. Trying to finish somewhere hight this year
Thanks!
Jackson is handy for Gawn’s bye.
Zane = a few low scores that may frustrate.
Rest is a decent team.
I reckon Zach Reid will generate some quick $.
dont waste Tstatas in mid
I would push either Fyfe or Jordon in to the mids and rest Tstatas in the forward line.
Solid team but would take Reid over Duursma in the forward line and a few little changes to the bench when the teams come out. Tsatas is good but if you could get Martin, Amon or the north Melbourne bull Wardlaw in your team it would look better. Still not sure on Coffield’s security but is in my team for now but thinking upgrading him to Zac Williams
If curtin gets named do I go curtin and Wines or should I go Curtin to a Jordan Clark/Coleman and then wines to bonner?
Skip Curtin I reckon.
Any tips would be appreicated :)
DEF sheezel, stewart, young, yeo, coleman, coffield (curtin, reid)
MID wines, martin, green, M Crouch, serong, LDU, Sharp, Sanders (Mckercher, clark)
RUC marshall, Xerri (Conway)
FOR fisher, jordan, windsor, cadman, watson, reid (Mannagh, Lazzaro)
UT Duursma
start again
Windsor and Cadman are risky to have on field. LDU i don’t rate, his floor is horrible.
This is a super rookie heavy forward line, I think Windsor in particular should be on your bench. Even though he’ll have some bright spots, wouldn’t pick Cadman as he’s unlikely to pay huge dividends (in points or value). Coleman’s obviously out and LDU has such poor consistency, I’d recommend:
OUT: Cadman, Coleman, LDU, one of your bench forwards to move Windsor to that spot.
IN: A few mid-pricers likely to gain some value, i.e. Fyfe and/or Williams + another forward without an opening round bye for the price of LDU and Coleman, put McKercher on field and bring in another rookie likely to make some cash for your midfield bench
DEF: Daicos, Sheezel, Young, Coleman, Yeo, Gibcus? (Phillips, Schoenmaker)
MID: Bontempelli, Gulden, Green, Martin, Crouch, Wines, Sanders, Mckercher (Roberts, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Xerri (Heath)
FWD: Fisher, Fyfe, Jordan, Sexton, Reid, Lazzaro (Windsor, Wilson)
UTL: Mannagh
Riding the early round byes (1K remaining in the bank), obviously i will be making some tweaks post opening round).
actually rate this structure, struggle town if two of the 3 or martin, crouch and wines dont work – but huge upside if they do – mixed with the 3 top dogs, just dont like green and gulden early byes. turn gulden to laird, then get green to gulden on his bye then either bench gulden during bye or go where evere
Thanks for the feedback, your advice is solid. I’m going to seriously consider the change, I’ll see how Gulden goes tonight.
also probs need to remove Gibcus, won’t be a consistent good scorer, Zach Williams an option but shares the Coleman bye, cash be made with Gawn to grundy and couple of those uber uber pro mids to just uber promo
Hey all
Def: sheez, stewart, young, yeo, williams, coffield (reid, phillips)
Mid: zerrett, brayshaw, laird, rozee, martin, mckercher, sanders, sharp (clark, roberts)
Ruc: gawn, grundy (maley)
Fwd: flanders, fisher, jordon, sexyback, reid, lazzaro (jones, wilson)
Uti: simpson
tears
Dawson, Merrett, and Sharp
OR
Amon, Crouch, and Wines
neither. Bont, Crouch, Touk
The $ don’t add up. The question is essentially, the 3 $700 ish mids of Amon, Crouch, and Wines.
OR
2 premium mids, Dawson and Merrett, plus the cheap Sharp
neither, Bont, Gulden and Anderson
I got Dawson and on the other side I got all 3 plus Martin but yes on Amon, Crouch, and Wines as if one fails it’s easy enough to move around to Wardlaw or a cheaper player and upgrade somewhere else. That’s my plan for now anyway.
Short NVM or someone else for d2?
Already got Sheezel at D1 as I currently don’t have daicos in the lineup. Already have Young, Yeo, Coleman and Coffield.

Thoughts on wardlaw??
Can u field Roberts at m8 and is Williams a d5 option
Wardlaw or Cam MacKenzie? MacKenzie cheaper with forward status, but Wardlaw is guaranteed mid minutes
HOW GOOD!!??? AFL Fantasy is back!
How amazing is this forward line?
Jack Macrae, James Harmes, Nat Fyfe, Zac Fisher, Alex Sexton and James Jordan?
Mind you, James Jordan didn’t have a good night the other night, but I still believe in him!
wouldn’t wish that fwd line on my worst enemy
