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

Rookies this week mate, get the right rookies.

This.

Skip the premos. Might cost you an extra 30k the week after, but you’ll generate more than that from bringing in cash generating rookies. Especially so this year.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

COS?

Could be a great DEF rookie option

 

[Veer Right]

WAshcroft has about 75 minutes to make me want to keep him. Been rubbish.

He can start by cutting that god awful haircut

 

[Jiska]

I’ve never been able to spell Clohesy for some reason, but I can spell Ted

 

[Wellsy35]

Fair warning, all you COS traders are gonna melt if he’s dropped for Kolodjashnij when he comes back

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Fair warning, all you COS traders are gonna melt if he’s dropped for Kolodjashnij when he comes back

Stewart out surely gives him better js

He was extremely good last night and does not make sense to drop. He can take Stewarts spot, no?

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

Enjoyable game so far

 

[Wellsy35]

Stewart out surely gives him better js

Of course, but just saying, if Stewart is only out for 1-2, it’s a live possibility.

 

[Jiska]

Why does FoxFooty Chan 501 live stream on Kayo just have a “Stay tuned your programming will resume shortly” for the entirety of half time?

Cos they’re cheap

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Hopefully today is a bit better, been a good half so far at least.

Dunks & Hewett
Trac C, Gawn, Oliver, Lindsay, Sheez & Helmet
Andy, NOD & Roberts.

Only 22 this week so get to drop 4 scores, currently have 9, 24, 58 and 61 as the lowest, hoping none of those make the final 22.

 

[St Steady]

What 9:40am instead of 10:10am? Give it a spell.

could at least let them eat brekkie first

 

[SSwans2011]

Cal Ah Chee was one of my favourite players until this Oasis goal celebration music. Unfathomably disappointed.

Only 344,000 Western Australians tuned in to the AFL Grand Final. I dunno how many of those are West Coast fans, or even regular footy fans, but surely we’re not scheduling around a handful of viewers sleeping in on Sunday mornings.

 

[Jiska]

Of course my main cashie opponent captained Neale after his outstanding score last week

 

[SSwans2011]

Give Melbourne vs North the 12:40pm start.

This would have been the obvious thing to do, but we can't really be surprised when the AFL are dumb campaigners with scheduling.

 

[Double the Fist]

Who are the subs for North v Melbs please, not up on AFL.com.au?

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Of course my main cashie opponent captained Neale after his outstanding score last week

I did too, was hoping he wouldn't do it two weeks in a row

 

[semja778]

NO LATE CHANGES

SUBSTITUTES
North Melbourne: Dylan Stephens
Melbourne: Taj Woewodin

Who are the subs for North v Melbs please, not up on AFL.com.au?

344,000 but how many people were watching one screen? Probably an average of 3-4 per household

Grand final day there’s 15 of us on one screen.

You can’t make scheduling decisions based on that. Otherwise I guess we say 90% of Australian’s aren’t in WA and let’s schedule for them

 

[Duckworthy]

Lashcroft scoring dried up

 

[Chronz]

This round ****ing sucks.

I couldn't wait to get rid of Day and Short and now Wash decides to put his hand up too.

Yep, tough round and trades might be a nightmare to navigate.
