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

Three out of those three you've no choice but to play Tsatas, O'Sullivan and Lindsay

LOL. Was meant to say which 2 out of those 3.

 

[Judd_Magic]

You said which 3 play on field.

All of them

Haha, yeah was meant to say which 2 out of those 3. Me bad.

 

[Jiska]

Good news fellas. After years of all of us being Bevo’d, the stupid ****er has Bevo’d himself

 

[rocker_oz33]

Scored 1876.
Only won one H2H game .

31 K Rank .

 

[Judd_Magic]

Smashed it kenties.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Down 45k this week after a solid start. Absolute carnage.

Last time I go near Tom Stewarts glass body

 

[nameless]

1955 with Gawn C

My side lacks good captain choices, but pretty happy with my roughie picks - Powell, Soligo, Freijah, Sam Darcy, Thilthorpe and Simpkin.

Might have to start looking at Macrea and Piggy as C again

 

[jdeezy]

How's the consistency here?




But we're heading the right way for sure:

Next stop is clearly #1

 

[Ed_Gein]

1,928 moved me up 14k spots to just over 27k overall. Really delighted with the start.

The last 2 years at the same point I was ranked 97k and 114k overall with disastrous performances from a lot of premo's.

Onto next rd we go

What a shit of a round .....Side looks good on paper, had factored in having Whitfield on his bye this week ....but there's always one game, one Club that lets you down

Yesterday, it was MELB ...... Petracca (78), and my "Safe" (C) Gawn (67) .....who, between them stuffed up my round

All week I had the (C) on Dawson (124) .......but in the end, felt at the min, the great Ruckman was good for a 100 ....and I would take that floor over a potential Dawson floor

HOW WRONG I WAS ! .....cost me just the 10,000 spot slide .....oh well, time to climb that hill, AGAIN !

 

[King Max]

Better start this year than in 2024.
Stuffed the VC on the weekend which SUCKS. Some will get the punt.

Happy with the rookies and some cash in the bank.
With Petracca sitting forwards at times, maybe Dunkley replaces him this week.

Said it before and I'll say it again. Double points for C is the stooopidest part of this game.

Can I double like this post?

Emergencies should be auto as well (highest bench score in that position). That way I don't need to look at late outs on 9 games on the weekend

I think quiet a few kenties stopped playing SC when the rolling lock out started.
Back in the day you do yourself all ya trades and set C once the ball was bounced it was all locked in.
No subs ,less byes ,less trades.

 

[No eye deer]

Not too bad. Seems better than most this week.
