Justgrumpy: Reasonably Wada but a lot of what if?s
Ash777: went premos and rookies this year
wadaramus: I just can’t bring myself to risk low rook scores Ash?!
j_ryan: Weird seeing Lalor rock Dustys number 4
Bazza2023: Evening all, welcome to 2026.
wadaramus: So I look for mids that can better guarantee solid scores, to my detriment!
MrWalrus: Woo, season starts tonight, go tiges.
wadaramus: J.Smith on field, Grlj on bench with E.
Noxious: Evening all
Bazza2023: charlie who – Pitto hold my beer
MrWalrus: Thanks umps, some things change some stay the same.
navy_blues: acamedy
Stu7: Does anyone know how to log in on phone I can get on but whenever I try and use chat it won?t work, currently using iPad
Bazza2023: soft free, yup diff yr same sheisse
original: embarrassing free
thommoae: Evening all. Good to be back. Vale Dennis Cometti – da best. Vale Best Coast.
MrWalrus: That’s the square up but we’re still owed another half goal.
Ash777: Are these player numbers correct?
piesfan420: lot of oscar awards to be given out tonight
thommoae: How could Sam Grrrrlj play for anyone else but the Tiges. Or the Lions, I guess.
wadaramus: Looks like a top night for footy at the G.
J_Herer: Blues up and about
Apachecats: Hope Lalors not my first mistake.
Bazza2023: they were last week as well until HT
Ash777: nope Lalor is now #4
Apachecats: As Forrest Gump would say ,knee to the buttocks.
Ash777: Jonty Faull no in #8
MrWalrus: Carlton need to be at least 10 up by half time to keep this interesting.
Noxious: Grlj looks the goods
original: wtf grlj just went boom
wadaramus: Griller!!
Birdman18: First trade might be getting grlj in
MrWalrus: Soooo we’re not paying marks now?
MrWalrus: Oh wait, if you’re in blue you get marks even if you drop it.
Pokerface: who woulda guessed the answer to our ruck question was Pitto
soup: i’ve got grlj on the bench ffs
J_Herer: go gridgey!
Justgrumpy: Next week Soup you will field him and he will score 25
original: soup i faded. 170k too rich to start. now at least i know i need to keep enough bank in a few weeks lol
wadaramus: If Griller goes big, I’ll need to trade in a non-playing rook to take it.
Pokerface: just cop it.. surely you won’t trade in a non player just before byes
exatekk: thats silly wada lol
wadaramus: If he tons up, I will do it!!
wadaramus: We all need a floating zero!
Apachecats: Yes wada ,I put Robey on the bench for that loop.
wadaramus: Intelligent validation, thanks Apache!
MrWalrus: Wait, some of you don’t have him on field? Amateurs!
original: tom lynch lol
frenzy: wait a week and i will have six or more donuts
LuvIt74: Silly trading a non player to take Grlj’s first round score. Then next week if he goes 30 you’ll be wasting trades
wadaramus: Doesn’t cost a trade this week.
LuvIt74: Hopefully Macrae doesn’t play r1 but im sure he will
Phasir: Jagga will have to average 50 disposals a game to average 90. Zero damage
MrWalrus: Jagga looks like a great fantasy player, impact TBC but glad he’s in my team.
J.Worrall: I don’t think Jaga’s DT/SC ratio suggestsanything astounding for SC
Apachecats: Weitering tackle must have been a beauty.
Justgrumpy: Sure was Apache tackled 5 at the same time
LuvIt74: I have Grlj and Smith on the field but my daughter hasn’t
frenzy: thats why hes all aust full back of the century
Apachecats: Haha Grump ,4 pts per person.
LuvIt74: wadaramus so if my daughter trades in a non player in defence if grlj goes huge she wont waste a trade mate?
Ash777: well you need a captain loop
Pokerface: that’s what R3 is for Ash
piesfan420: will finlay macrae play
wadaramus: R1 trades are unlimited aren’t they?
Ash777: no r3 is for your best rookie ruck
Justgrumpy: Still says unlimited trades
original: still is unlimited
Ash777: round 1 has always been ulimited
wadaramus: Zacly.
wadaramus: So I can trade C.Jones to a spud, put him on field and take Griller.
wadaramus: If he goes big.
Pokerface: ZZ lasts till rd 4. When the loop picks become relevant again
j_ryan: Was very tempted to risk picking Lalor this year. He’s proving me right so far but the season is still young
LuvIt74: Grlj will need to score 70+ to take that chance otherwise is it worth it
Ash777: C.Jones? Chayce isn’t playing already
Pokerface: Jones isn’t selected anyway Wada
wadaramus: Gee Whiz.
wadaramus: C.Jones is still a speculative M10, just part of the example.
navy_blues: bs decision again
piesfan420: love that it was againts blues
Ash777: he touched it
LuvIt74: Had Lalor in and out my side so many times but opted to not select him just because of his price
navy_blues: lolol well it wasnt a mark if he touched it was it Ash wake up
Apachecats: Holiday for Faull.
navy_blues: Faull going on holiday
j_ryan: Can’t blame you LuvIt. So many mid-pricers in that same realm this year
Pokerface: We call it autumn here Apache
exatekk: lol
Ash777: lalor will probably have a dusty like breakout year some year just not this year.
original: purple name game who we got
exatekk: ended up with 175 in the FF league. well done all!
McSquire: SSmith 8 score involvements and still under 50
Apachecats: That was a 50/50 free kick ,Karma missing it.
Ash777: lmao karma
zadolinnyj: Lads and ladies
m0nty: Gibcus quietly scoring well
original: how was it 50/50, balta back to play. ye yeh cripps made sure umpire saw it with hand but cmon guys. embarrasing kic tho
Apachecats: Richo- Why does he turn his play on the back when he marks it ,lol.
wadaramus: J.Smith – Not watching the game, seems to be a gun?
Apachecats: Yeah wada ,the ball just seems to find him.
Justgrumpy: For a kid who looks like a Jockey he is doing well.
MrWalrus: Gun accumulator, not so much on impact.
MrWalrus: Gibcus warmi
MrWalrus: Gibcus warming my bench m0nty, absolute gift if he can stay healthy.
MrWalrus: Also absolutely abysmal commentary line up tonight, how is Kane cornes the least bad?
Pokerface: switch channel. Matt White is butter
soup: Foxtel not much better walrus. Can’t stand howie
wadaramus: Listen to the radio!
wadaramus: I listen to 5AA every game, the TV commentary sucks!
Justgrumpy: Anyone else getting a FF ad blocker coming up ?
Apachecats: Tried that Wada but its not exactly syncced to the TV.
Breezey: I think there is a thing called Volume on TV?s these days
wadaramus: If you use an analog radio, you can pause th TV to sync it
Fromage: Lalor disappointment
MrWalrus: AM radio audio is AIDS for the ears unfortunately wada and not synchronised
Apachecats: Happy with Walsh and Grlj ,jury out on Lalor ,will use a trade to get Smith.
MrWalrus: Half a game to go yet cheese.
wadaramus: I know AM radio is not great, but it beats bad commentary!
wadaramus: I have a cheap SONY am radio, nad i just move it around until it stops buzzing, then get on with it.
zadolinnyj: Happy with short
LuvIt74: ok so if my daughter lets say trades out Macrae for a non player to take smith’s score then she’ll waste a trade in R2?
wadaramus: Some of us grew up without digital clarity/dropouts.
wadaramus: Only if she trades the donut out Luvit?
Pokerface: ‘daughter’
tuzmonk: Streaming AM radio is also an option, the audio quality is way better
Apachecats: Grlj -trying to think of other names with no vowell ,then I notice Lynch.
LuvIt74: to bring Macrae back in r2 so either way your wasting a trade
wadaramus: Don’t bring him back in, use the floating donut to take other loops?!
MrWalrus: Grew up AM only wada, I’m not going back.
wadaramus: If you refuse to listen to fuzzy analog, you must suffer horrible TV commentary, not me.
wadaramus: Why do they pronounce Lalor as Lawler?
Apachecats: Grlj so clean with disposals hand and foot.
LuvIt74: do most coaches have Blamires?
Apachecats: yes here LuvIt.
Justgrumpy: I do Luvit
Justgrumpy: Bench fodder
MrWalrus: Lalor too Apache, quality over quantity is king.
Ash777: yes there’s not much mid rookies
Apachecats: Got the VC on Walsh ,might need that loop for 2 reasons.
piesfan420: lalor again
Apachecats: Yes Tusks ,working Lalor working into the game nicely now.
Apachecats: Oh no Carlton ,not again, please.
MrWalrus: I’ve got him luvit, sucker for a basement pricenature age rook named to play
Raspel31: Asked AI whether to field Grij-computer said no.
Apachecats: Lynch being Lynch again.
piesfan420: lynch spud
m0nty: confirmed: AI is terrible at fantasy footy
tuzmonk: AI has a team and is doling out bad advice so it can win the 50k
MrWalrus: AI is societal cancer.
wadaramus: Spot on MrWalrus.
zadolinnyj: Grlj good
m0nty: two Crownies thanks
wadaramus: Perhaps we should all jusr ask AI to create our team for us?
MrWalrus: Taranto is really good at footy.
original: how does DE work Grlj 2 turnovers but 100% efficiency
soup: muppet icon for lynch?
bombrblitz: Gibcus the Invisible mam?

Justgrumpy: Cripps kicking woeful
MrWalrus: Almost half as many as blues original, we’ve been disgraceful.
Ash777: tigers should have been ahead by now
LuvIt74: She finally bulled the button putting Brodie as the floater is really the only option as he’s likely to play
LuvIt74: next week or soon
LuvIt74: pulled
LuvIt74: If the blues havn’t improved this season they’ll continue to die 2nd half as usual
BOMBRBLITZ: Jagga need a goal
Pokerface: if he cant get a game with no Wines, he wont be in the team shortly without mass injury
Raspel31: We already have 2 finalists on our hands.
MrWalrus: Young Dusty is so good.

exatekk: stop comparing him to dusty. hes gonna be a jet for sure, but cmon
Justgrumpy: Well no goals since half time original embarrassing
