AFL Fantasy Draft Strategy

[elephants]

Hey lads, its that time of year again that we're gearing up for our elite drafts...

So anyone have a major strategy in mind? I promise I'm not in your leagues so I won't wreck your chances of winning

[GoLions]

Get pick 1. Pick Rocky. . Win.

Hahah I can't rig the draft though

I would actually much rather a late pick!

[Ricochet]

Depending on league sizes but

If you miss Goldy and SMartin, don't grab a ruck until almost your last pick. There's plenty that will average 85-95

If you miss Rocky or Ablett, look at grabbing fwds and defenders before taking mids. (Boyds/McVeighs/Bartel/etc and Barlow/DMartins/etc). There are plenty of mids that can average 100-110, not many defenders that can average 90+ or fwds that can average 95+

[elephants]

Yep on that, it heavily depends on what pick you end up with.

Early pick, take a super premo (Martin, Rocky, Goldy, GAJ)... Later pick take the best fwd or back.

I'm seriously praying I get a later pick!

[GoLions]

Also depends on whether captains are on or off

[elephants]

Yeah it does, my league has no captains and we're doing it live at a mates place so it should be intense!

Pass the lappy, instead of pass the parcel!

Haha lucky we all have our own so it should run pretty smoothly provided the wifi modem doesn't get fried!
