Opening Round is done — and with no AFL Fantasy scoring attached, it was our final chance to get a clean look at roles and usage before the real stuff begins in Round 1.
This week, we break down every Opening Round game and what actually matters for draft and keeper leagues.
Some of the big takeaways:
- Connor Budarick racks up 94 as the Bulldogs’ main distributor out of defence.
- Bailey Humphrey kicks four goals for Gold Coast, showing how damaging he can be even without heavy midfield usage.
- Joe Fonti has a big game off half-back for GWS.
- Justin McInerney explodes for 122 in the same role he finished last season in.
- Tanner Bruhn looks set for a breakout year across half-back for Geelong.
- Marcus Windhager piles on 116 playing across St Kilda’s defence.
- And Dan Houston returns to form against the Saints with a 120.
If you’re preparing for your draft, this episode breaks down the final clues before the season officially begins.
