Game Day 2024 Fantasy - Round One Discussion

So which rooks are we fielding?

Think reid is a lock for my fwd rook. Then mid we have 3 spots and mckercher, Roberts, sanders, Wilson, Lazzaro, sharp to chose from?
Thinking Roberts, sanders, mckercher

I'm going Wilson at F6. Reid F5.

Would Gibcus's 40 points have even counted in your best 18 during the bye?

Likely not... didn't consider that haha

Also a bit concerned that Sheeze has been named on ball too.

 

[Gunf]

Hmm need to pick 2 between Dean, Cadman and Wilson

You need to pick 1 between Dean and Cadman. Wilson

Ended up going with Campbell at F8 with the extra week of cash.. not unhappy, he actually looks like a reasonable player.

Didnt have anyone on field last night, ZWil is easy enough to get in 2 weeks

Newc VC into RoMo C

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Just opened AF for first time and says I'm on 0 and Zilliams and Campbell didn't play.

How does this piece of s**t get worse each year

Love all these meme teams at the start of the year that just stack one club full of players

They didn't say which Friday

 

[Phar Ace]

Finn named for the Hawks, although looking at that bench surely he's the sub?

Though apparently they can name the sub from anyone in the 23.

True, but so far every one has been named from the bench (a quantity of 5 games though)

 

[Phar Ace]

How the * is Heppell still getting a game

List depth.......take a closer look!

 

[Phar Ace]

Zachary Williams

Never doubted you for a second I swear

Yeah, you don't want him getting the ball

 

[Phar Ace]

According to an insider, Mannagh probably plays, but likely sub given what he showed during the practice matches.

Avoid.

Predict an early sub into the game though:

 

[Exambolor]

F.Mac is playing tonight . Also, why are some people picking Butters?

Well Butters is right to play..... why wouldn't you?

 

[dplggr47]

F.Mac is playing tonight . Also, why are some people picking Butters?

Probably because he's cheaper than Rozee and he's a premium. Only concern is if he has an injury concern during the game and they rest him or he misses due to injury.

 

[Phar Ace]

Well Butters is right to play..... why wouldn't you?

And no bye until Rnd 13 - and even then, only a 2 team bye with Freo.

Same here, plus Howes in defence, if Macrae was in then I'd roll with Wilson/Lazzaro over Sanders.

And so it begins, Round 1 = 1 forced trade so far. Gibcus down to Pink/Uwland, not sure yet. 74 from Williams is a pass mark, he'll get better. Campbell on the pine making $70k is nice, will ride his BE until he's maxxed out or dropped.

5 players on field tonight Roberts, Jordon, Heeney, Grundy and VC Daicos

I've got the same 5 although Roberts is on my bench.

Unless Pink/Uwland have a low BE, you could just leave Gibcus there as a zero on the bench for looping.

 

[Exambolor]

Only have Jordon and Grundy tonight., highly owned players again. Not doing any last min onfield swaps after last night, wanna make Gibcus on field my only blemish of the week.

The fun really starts when my PODs play.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Nervous about Finn. I usually ignore tag threats long term, but when it's the first week and your team isn't set you have to take it into account. Had Merret but have since dropped him. Can't take the risk of a bad score for my M1 week 1. Tag actually more likely to go to Martin I think, but at least with Martin his lower price point make it less of a hit if he gets clamped and you still have him for the rest of the season once Finn opens up.

Would only be useful in round 4 (best 18 and likely the defence rookie scores don't count) then from round 7 onwards. I'd be tempted if he had DPP status with a link in the mids. Better off with a slow burn rookie making a little cash than none at all.
