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

Well, R1 is over .....my Feakin OP outdone by a poem ....for some, there's a bit of work to be done, some reconstructive work to be done on their side, or as I prefer to call it ....cosmetic surgery

All in all, I think we can agree, the matches last week were awful to watch ...error ridden, sloppy skills ...I dare say, if not for SC, I would have gone back to my Macramé

But, a new round awaits us .....renewed enthusiasm ....did my trades work.
BTW when did R2 trades become fashionable ?

Gee, it's good to have footy back

Have a great week everyone ....and good luck

Both Carlton & my SC team have had a week off (or an off week) - our season starts in RD2

GL to your SC team

round 1 was similar score to round 0 for me. What could go wrong in round 2

 

[Deliverance]

Now time to switch Tsatas to the bench for Knevitt. Knevit to score 20 and Taratare to score 100

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Just from a footballing perspective Carlton better come out hard on Thursday. If they don't, something is very wrong. The Tiges v Power game has some added interest to it too. Could the Tiges go 2-0?

Did you see St Kilda on the weekend? Bazlenka is going 200

The reason Baz could score poorly is based on an assumption that Windhager goes to him. He might not though, and if he doesnt Baz will cash in!

Don't say it because MT will get mad, don't say it because MT will get mad

This is good for my draft side

lol why would I get mad about your draft team?

You told me off (sarcastically tbf) for posting about Caldwell playing well the other night haha

Quite right too, who cares about your draft team!

You should straight captain him. Or do you have no faith in him?

100 what, clangers? Tsatas won't get much above 50 again. If the Dons don't cop an injury, he'll be subbed out and managed. He has a bye soon, then Parish is back. See ya fraud, enjoy the VFL.

 

[northcotehead]

I've been considering not trading at all for the first few rounds (except for injuries to premos) so i get my maximum quota for all the remaining rounds, has anyone ever tried something like this? I scored 2180 in r1.

It's a balancing act ....gotta have all the best cash generators, to "quickly" upgrade your team .....no-one's team is perfectly setup after R1

Go too hard, you run out of trades ....go too slow, and the gap can be hard to bridge, as many teams become so similar

Also, the strategy is different, depending on whether your focus is on League or overall rank

 

[Chism]

You need to correct early to stay with the pack especially regarding the rookie corrections and mid priced cash cows you may have over looked that have started strong.

Cash generation is everything in this game and like mentioned above no team is perfect from the start and you cant nail every selection.

 

[Chism]

Parker over Bailey Smith was a wrong move and now corrected. Also Tsatas can go for Knevitt with 40k profit.

I am sure Tsatas is english for turnover and his game style is not SC friendly.

 

[JuddgementDay]

A week is so long in both Footy & SC, especially when your team was shitty

 

[Ingy]

Now time to switch Tsatas to the bench for Knevitt. Knevit to score 20 and Taratare to score 100

I'm definitely sticking the ol' E on Elijah, because it's on the cards.

Who'da thunk it'd be advantageous to own Callaghan this week? lol
