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

Clark in only 8% of teams

That is crazy

Wow was one of my first picked this year.

 

[Saints4ever]

Clark in only 8% of teams

That is crazy

I’m 1 of the 8% and stupidly pre game I was considering trading him next week, moving SDK to the backline from flex and bringing in TDK to flex.

Duhhhh won’t be doing anything stupid like that.

 

[JRyan23]

1985. Can't wait to punt Perryman, Day and Garcia

 

[goondog]

1926 all out

Even best 18 couldn't save me from Sanders 62, JHF 61, & Knevitt 58 thanks to this list of putridness.

 

[Saints4ever]

I don’t like the last game starting at 6:10.

Bring back the 4:40 game.

Waiting for super coach to open sucks.

 

[Rustymagoo]

1959 with X captain, hurry up and open, I've got a bazillion trade scenarios to get through. Harcia, JHF and Hastie on the chopping block. Flynn might stay in flex if BJ misses next week.

Find somebody who looks at you the way Jay Clark looks at a tanning booth.

[Smooth Banana]

2033 with Baz and Flynn on bench

I don’t think too many in here use the Big Footy app, but posting comments from the app is a major issue at the moment. I’ve raised a ticket

Just use a browser. **** the app off.

 

[Jiska]

Very very quiet in here tonight for the end of the round. Must be a shitload of bad scores.

 

[Wellsy35]

1957 all out. Trac C over Xerri cost me a 2017 and wins in all my leagues.

Heroes: Clark, O'Sullivan (bye sweet POD), Dawson, NOD, Washcroft, Tsatas, Reid, Davidson, Lindsay

Villains: Perryman, Trainor, Reid, Kako (luckily none counted), Ross the Boss for dropping Hastie

I also hate that that campaigner JHF is in my team and I'm furious that I succumbed to the FOMO and put that absolute flog in my forward line. You have one more week and then I'm launching you into the sun you absolute fraud of a pick.

 

[AFDogs]

Clark in only 8% of teams

That is crazy

Not when you go Dale instead

 

[Wellsy35]

Not when you go Dale instead

1% for Dale is even crazier

 

[AFDogs]

1% for Dale is even crazier

I’m afraid it’s going to skyrocket this week

Freijah for similar output and $200k less?

He probably won’t be as consistent as Clark but $200k is a chunk of change

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

1781

 

[Wellsy35]

I’m afraid it’s going to skyrocket this week

I won't lie, I'm considering him for Perryman. Think I'm skipping Freijah and I feel like SDK needs to average 95-100 to make any decent money and can't see it. Mighty tempted by Bowey though. Averaging 96 with Salem in the team, only $330k. Could ride that money train up rather than settle into another premo.

Dale is looking great value though.

 

[Deliverance]

2025
Got lucky with a nice Serong recovery by the sounds of it.

 

[stevebbb]

Scored 2028 with Rozee as captain.

Lowest counted score was 71.

I had 5x 70s, 1x 80s, 2x 90s, the remaining 10 were 100+ scores.

Solid week, very happy.

Time to correct them rookies!
