Game Day 2025 Round 2 Discussion

[South of the Yarra]

Round 2 in Poetry

The rookies from all over came,
With a price so low, they hailed their name,
"Get Tsatas in your squad!" the pundits cried,
FOS is a gun, his price would rise

But when the game kicked off, what did we see?
Davidson, my goodness me!
Few tackles, some kicks, no points to gain—
We were simply left with Rookie pain.

And those premiums, we trusted so,
They burnt our teams, their scores so low
A big score or two seemed all too late—
Our Supercoach hopes met an early fate.

Lachie burnt us and Sanders too,
Will we ever learn? Trade Round 2
Our anger built, our hand was dealt
The only thing to do was melt

But don’t lose hope, it’s still the start,
The season’s long, so don’t lose heart
With trades in hand, we’ll fix our flaws,
Rebuild our teams, rewrite the laws.

For hope’s not gone, it’s just delayed,
A few good picks and we’ll be saved.
The tide will turn, we’ll rise once more
Supercoach dreams? A massive score

The season’s early, but can we see—
Supercoach hopes? A fantasy

Never seen Gawn have such a low score in a half

He will still score 120

 

[SavDog23]

So is Sheezel gonna get FWD or MID dpp

 

[NinjaSwan]

Were we all just a year early on Powell?

 

[Petrify]

Can't trade FoS this week as I have bigger issues. Pain.

 

[Plugger35]

Never seen Gawn have such a low score in a half

CD shafting him with his scoring isn't helping.

 

[King Max]

Was out and about shopping for a vacuum cleaner.
One job I had, take Zorkos VC.
Now come on Captain Sheezel.

PS…. We got a bagless Miele. Red one.

 

[AFDogs]

Dodged a bullet not picking Rivers though Perryman hasn’t been any better

 

[Chronz]

Powell you beautiful campaigner.

 

[TasSixer]

Gonna rage trade Gawn to Bailey Williams just so the kent understands this shit isn't good enough.

 

[gutsroy]

Petracca score not great, but nothing wrong with his tank, he's fit

 

[Dan87]

Man when North are playing good it's kinda fun

 

[SSwans2011]

Gawn looks washed. Even last week he didn't dominate as much as you would expect against Keefe. Not taking the contested marks he would take in the past and even more fumbly than usual.

Think I've gotta back him in, but ugly signs that half.

 

[Wellsy35]

Almost game from him, has been missed in transition like 5 times. DE doesn’t help either

This forum tends to go early on a player before their breakout year.

 

[gutsroy]

Almost game from him, has been missed in transition like 5 times. DE doesn’t help either

Sums it up perfectly, could have been on 80.

 

[Makeshift Park]

This week you can brag about Powell Makeshift Park

Should’ve gone with my heart and thrown a C on the bastard

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

Should’ve gone with my heart and thrown a C on the bastard

Who did you C instead?

 

[kaiserchief13]

Xerri destroying Gawn, very good

 

[Makeshift Park]

Who did you C instead?

Rozee

Well actually it was Xerri, but after the port game I had to change the C to Callaghan because it was the responsible thing to do

 

[Plugger35]

I have too many other problems to fix to have the luxury of trading him but I will be looking elsewhere for a captain option.

Unless he has a big second half he probably won't even ton up today.

 

[Dan87]

Xerri destroying Gawn, very good

Ya love to see it

Dude is kinda scary

 

[mochacinolatte]

Love to see my Cashie opponent with the big C on Gawn.

 

[Deliverance]

Add Trac to the trade out list. What a bad call by me, clearly needed time to get into the groove of AFL footy again.

Chef on instagram, butcher on the footy field.

Yeah, broke my no interrupted pre-season rule. Might straight swap to Green or upgrade to Henderson.

 

[Jiska]

Melbourne’s season could be over in an hour Scythe94. We look slow.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Henderson on 49 at HT another mid rookie to get $99k
