Game Day 2024 Round 7 Discussion - 🎀 Anzac Round 🎀 - F*** Yze

[WaynesWorld19]

A special round, which the AFL to their credit, have done more to raise the profile of Anzac Day, and what it means to so many ......to be fair, credit should be equally apportioned to Kevin Sheedy.

I lost two uncles to the war, and my Grandfather a leg .....which would ultimately claim him, a few weeks before I was born
So many have been directly and indirectly affected .....each has a story ....do not forget those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for you
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Back to a full round of 22 .....it appears only Stewart, and Zilliams will be missing .....albeit we have tribunal appeals to endure
What ever happened to the AFL edict of no lawyers in tribunals .....like every other AFL initiative, it comes, and it goes just as quickly

Re my ranking, I have now given all those thousands in front of me enough handicap .....I can start my ascent this week, so my message is ..."I'm coming for ya !!!!

5 days of footy, a footy festival .....tonight, that traditional matchup, MELB v RICH ......and what a slaughter it'll be, RICH fans may want to look away now .....obviously everyone will have the (VC) on Gawn .....will Oliver play, the cheap as chips little rascal .....and how far will Petracca slide in price ?

Tomorrow's ESS v CARL match promises a rich reward for Fantasy owners ...... Zerrett (C) arguably Naicos another (C) option ....will Martin continue to get zero attention, can Parish manage to find some form .....is De Goey a budding option
Who will respond best to the emotion of the night .....one of the footy calenders best events .....but who TF decided to play this match at 3.20pm .....and Port v St Kilda in the prime night time spot ......just a dumb call in this writers opinion, the AFL can't leave tradition alone

PORT v SAINTS .....good for Marshall owners ...even better for holders of Rozee, Butters, and Houston
So many of the matchups this week are favourable to the popular player ownerships .....should be a high scoring round
Cmon Jack .....get back on that horse mate, and show them why you're a premo midfielder !

NORTH v ADEL ......any interest in this match ? .....well maybe if we want to see some Clarko madness, maybe putting Sheezel in the midfield, to kill-off Powell ....and where will Comben play this week? ...on a Wing / Forward Pocket ?

And in the GEEL v CARL match, we have the most popular trade-in this week ....Sam Walsh

. It seems the mantra of not selecting injury prone players has disappeared from the Fantasy vernacular .....Yeo, Zilliams, Fyfe ....it seems, unless you are injury prone, your less likely to get picked
If you have Walsh, it's a good match-up this week .....and please spare a thought for us Stewart owners, we'll still stick fat with the star

FREO v WB is arguably the round's most fascinating match-up ......will Sanders get to play, can Bont get his bounce back ....can Jackson flourish with Darcy ?
Then we have a midfield matchup that could determine many team Coaches fortunes this round ......matchups for the popular players
Bont v Serong
Treloar v Brayshaw

Has Macrae arrived back ....at his price, I couldn't resist him .....and of course I believed Bevo's presser, of his optimism for Macrae .....that alone makes me a fool

GC v WCE ....how many GC players does each Coach have ? .....seems like we all have 3-4 Gold Coast players, and this round at home, the stats say Gold Coast is a monolith .....it's just when they have to travel
Rowell is finally fulfilling his undoubted potential .....and doesn't he look superfit
The new HB (don't touch me) role for Flanders is even juicier .....and if Touk Touk's yo-yo scoring rounds continue, he's in for a big round
But we all want to see if Harley can repeat his round 6 heroics ! .....so good to watch

HAW v SYD .....well, again for swans owned players, you'll be rubbing your hands. Are we putting the (C) on Heeney ?

A great round for Fantasy lovers .....have a great round everyone, just remember "I'm a coming" !

Great write up… but, I think you went one day early with this post!

I’m looking forward to a few weeks of best 22, then we can really see where our teams are at, as best 18 was a mirage!

Those with too many rookies will find out, the SC game is still about getting as many rookies off the field as quickly as possible

Bring it on!

GL everyone

 

[iDon]

Good write up WaynesWorld19

I know Carlton are going well but twice in 2 days maybe a bit much for them.

 

[Phoenix_9]

Good write up but you missed the GWS game on Anzac Day. Saints game is Friday night

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Tomorrow's ESS v CARL match promises a rich reward for Fantasy owners ......

 

[Faz 2000]

Finally the Blues could get an ANZAC Medallist!

 

[stevebbb]

$45k off my current trade plans on current prices. Projections says I'll be good with the price rises/falls, but can't trust that. Fingers crossed!

Love this writeup... but, footy starts tomorrow night.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Love this writeup... but, footy starts tomorrow night.

Just checking to see if anyone reads my OP's

 

[Tigers123]

hoping mcauliffe plays and not as sub for some cash gen

 

[TempletonTheRat]

hoping mcauliffe plays and not as sub for some cash gen

you have Hopper and Grimes coming back. Assuming Young comes out for Grimes.

Short is also out for a couple of weeks - is it Short out and Hopper in? or do you expect other changes

 

[Tigers123]

Short is also out for a couple of weeks - is it Short out and Hopper in? or do you expect other changes

to be completely honest I have no idea what will happen and am eagerly awaiting 6:20 tonight but personally I'd do:

Out: Koschitzke (spud), Short (injured), Sonsie (out for Hopper)
In: Ryan, Hopper, Grimes (who I'd rather not come in but given it's all but confirmed)

But that does leave a rebounding defender short (lol) but I'd love to see Tom Brown play that role, Short has been bog average

I think Sonsie makes way rather than McAuliffe ultimately

 

[Test Tickle]

Just checking to see if anyone reads my OP's

Judging by that OP, you haven't been feeling yourself lately?

 

[kaiserchief13]

Only Tuesday and already the round thread opened. Feels weird starting the round on a Wednesday

 

[Ed_Gein]

Will be interesting if Oliver puts up 120+ in a dominant game. It would be enough to tip me into picking him up at sub-$500k

Not sure I see it happening, though.

 

[Veer Right]

On field this week

14 Premos
6 mid scorers who should average 80+
2 rooks Dempsey and Graham

15 premos next week and just the one rook Dempsey

 

[Scythe94]

Now you've done it

issue is, if he goes well, do we think its just richmond being s**t or oliver being back

 

[SavDog23]

We will play Piggy into form.

Entertaining read Wayneo as always mate.

 

[darklake]

Is Z. Reid expected back soon?

 

[stevebbb]

Is Z. Reid expected back soon?

Was listed as 2-3 weeks in their last injury report (last Tuesday). Injury report should come out in the next hour or so. Hopefully it's now 1-2 weeks away.

 

[SC fish]

Is Z. Reid expected back soon?

Wait for injury update but hopefully just 1 or 2 weeks

 

[54Dogs]

Wait for injury update but hopefully just 1 or 2 weeks

Reid has been 2-3 weeks for the last month and is still 2-3 weeks on todays report

 

[Judd_Magic]

How many rookies does everyone have left on the ground kenties?

I'm going to say I have 3 (Graham, Dempsey, Darcy) but it's technically 5 as I have Clohesy and Reid but they are both guns and look like keepers at this stage so I'm not counting them as ones I need to quickly get off the field by upgrading.
.
I also have Roberts and Comben too but again they aren't rookies even though they were rookie price.

Plan is next week to go Dempsey > Garcia (Dogs) and Cadman > Macrae.

Just mainly want to get Dempsey, Comben and Darcy off the ground and upgraded ASAP!

Graham is holding down M8 but he's a good rookie to field imo.
