Discussion 2025 Fantasy Pre-Season Planning Discussion

[Shaunn]

Farrell definitely the one that comes to mind but it's hard to see that much upside as he's not exactly cheap

Prefer Short as an example

I mean even a 90 avg is enough, will have to wait and see probably.

 

[ShadowCat]

Mills a placeholder (will decide between him and Coleman based on pre-season - as only want one in each position when it comes to byes), but rest will do me for now.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Surprised no ones talking about Farrell, Evans or DBJ to fill the void/kicks ins from Houston leaving, surely a boost?

Shh he’s on the downlow

And who is the most likely?

Not Burgoyne ?

First draft at 11.30pm and a few too many drinks... so no doubt this changes tenfold, haven't even looked at bye rounds which I probably should

 

[Barrybran]

My first proper attempt at a team. Not super keen on my DEF line - Roberts, Mills and Coleman are all on the same early bye. I could go Marshall to Sweet/Flynn or Rankine down (to someone other than Macrae) to find value. Pretty happy with the mids as all should outperform their price and I can easily drop one if someone like Lalor fires early.

 

[Tex Danger]

Don't see why they wouldn't put any attention into him when there's noone else xD. But im still deciding on him, Green or Rozee as my M1.

I generally like to sort my team by price so it’s green as my mid 1

 

[JDWCE]

Not Burgoyne ?

I think Burgoyne more likely for wing this season. Gives them much needed outside class and outside of a couple games last year he didn’t really play HBF. Although absolutely pissed it in during that final so maybe there is something to it

I feel like Farrell and Evans collectively probably get the bump

 

[Phteven]

Not Burgoyne ?

Burgoyne mid only now unfortunately.

Starting Short at F1 allows me to run with Cumming M6.
Obviously subject to change but with a bit of unknown of who is going to pop off in the backline, what do we think?

Do you fancy Holmes ?

Ive got a few defenders that I think have value before getting to Short, but ye I think something like that is ok.
I presume you have gone set and forget rucks and spent up for your f1 with JHF or something?

Ive got Short at d3 and Cumming at m6

Interesting. Have you posted your team? I’m intrigued.
Have you saved money in ruck? No JHF?

Who the fuq is talking him up? Playing for his career this year. Apparent backline move. Key position

When I watched Barnett in the U18 Championships ....I always thought his future lay as a KPD rather than a Ruck

Yeah I posted it, but ive tinkered with it since.
Yep saved money in the ruck and in the forward line haha. Only value picks
I dont think Marshall beats last years average, and im very skeptical if Xerri can beat his average too, I think that as Norths midfield improves Xerris scores will get worse.

This is my current anyway

Hes definitely got the attributes.
Would suit us better if he becomes a ruckman but we really need a KPD too so either is good.

No talk of him being close to a game or anything though

You have 3 defenders on the same bye btw . Prob can only go 2 max to get cover from your bench unless your util has DEF position and even then still risky.

Yeah haha, thinking was to move Holmes into the midfield for the week, but then ive gotta fit in Coleman too probably.

Defence is rough this year

Yeah possible for sure, i see it as Coleman is a lock if he plays, just need to decide on a Roberts or Mills for the second slot same bye.

I’m going to watch preseason on Kiddy, think he is a vest risk as he builds up confidence, good one to trade in at a later stage I suspect.
