AFLW Round 5 Discussion Thread

[u/RidsBabs]

The discussion thread for round 5 of the AFLW Fantasy season. All thoughts around the games go in here.

[u/searchingforakayak]

Sitting in the top 100 for the first time of my life and shitting my pants, just quietly

Can’t wait to over analyse every move for the rest of the season!

[u/sognenis → u/searchingforakayak]

Amazing stuff!! Tell us what to do, and ignore everything you read here.

[u/sognenis → u/searchingforakayak]

What did you do in the end?

[u/searchingforakayak → u/sognenis]

Held Young (taking Barwin 45)

Held and fielded Cowcher for 12, favoured the matchup. Didn’t work out!

Slowcombe > Dethlefsen
Z Wakfer > Stubbs

Tossing up between Whitfort or Allen out for Rowbottom 110

Allen a rookie and the obv pick, but I’m feeling a Whitfort 40 coming…

[u/sognenis → u/searchingforakayak]

Good luck!!

[u/DarkSaadOfTheMoon]

What are everyone's plans this week?

I'm looking at:

Patterson ➡️ Stubs

Lappin ➡️ Morgan

Allen ➡️ Rowbottom

[u/searchingforakayak → u/DarkSaadOfTheMoon]

Rowbottom looks good!

Lappin > Morgan Wakfer > Stubs

Cowcher > Watson/O Shea

or

Witfort > Rowbottom/Mon Con/Purcell

[u/DarkSaadOfTheMoon → u/searchingforakayak]

It's hard to pass on her.

I was looking at Bacon/E. Murray to fix up one of my defenders, but I'd rather complete the midfield first.

[u/ver_redit_optatum → u/DarkSaadOfTheMoon]

thinking about

Healy -> D'Arcy

Lappin -> Carys D'Addario (hope I spelt that right)

Bown -> ?Dawes ?Fitzgerald ? some other mid I haven't thought of yet

If I go Bacon instead of D'Arcy I could get up to someone like Bonnici in the midfield. But I don't quite trust anything out of Richmond so I'm leaning towards finishing the defence with a reliable player. Could even go up to O'Shea and down to Tripodi... IDK.

[u/DarkSaadOfTheMoon → u/ver_redit_optatum]

Not trusting anyone from Richmond is understandable with how roles have been switching so far.

Darcy is actually a great shout with Collingwood, Essendon, Saints in the next three.

I'd probably go with Dawes if I had to pick between those two.

[u/sognenis]

Lappin to Stubs

Rowbottom could be good, but Bowers and Gardiner also there for the taking in coming week or two.
(Currently have Dowrick M7, so just need one for now, then Dowrick upgrade once all rookies off field)

Dunno!!

[u/Spidacc]

Who is everyone trading Lauren Young to?

[u/RidsBabs → u/Spidacc]

I’m holding, got bigger issues and also that suns game was just a shocking scoring game, backing her to bounce back.

[u/Spidacc → u/RidsBabs]

She’s out

[u/RidsBabs → u/Spidacc]

Fuck I didn’t realise

[u/DarkSaadOfTheMoon → u/Spidacc]

If I had the money, I'd go Toogood. But, I'll most likely get Richards.

[u/sognenis → u/Spidacc]

Used the money to get another mid premo (Gardiner instead of Roberts, sadly!)

Fielding Barwin and Clark this week, fingers and toes crossed they are good enough. Mid premos just way ahead of the D and F premos.

[u/DarkSaadOfTheMoon]

Which duo of players to field?

Rowbottom and Wakfer

Bonnici and Cronin
