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

 

[Silky23]

1189/12

WAshcroft (Hewett)
Gawn, Trac, Clarry, Lindsay, Daniel, Sheezel (FOS)
Clark, NOD, Roberts (Reid)

Trainor 24, Berry 56, Pez & Prior 57 lowest 4

995/8 taking those away.

Would be very disappointed walking out of tomorrow with anything under 1900.

Opinion on Clohesy?

He was super Ted tonight.Wow.
Been soild VFL player.
I think he's more strings in his bow than Clark Mitch k Mullin etc.
Meaning he can play forward some mid time.

That was out of the box from him.
Need another look.

 

[Raveneyes]

Nelso noticed we have only 5 unique players.

Rozee vs Dawson
SDK vs Stewart
FOS vs Knevitt

Benched
Hall vs Hastie
LOC vs Berry





Gawn vs Gawn x2
FOS

If only Stewart didn't get hurt, it would've been close.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Few Macrae captainers coming out of the woodwork

 

[kyri]

1,095 / 10 + C

taken out halls 33. still riding JHFs 61, knevs 58 and priors 57.

5 premos plus daniel fos and lindsay to come in one game. clark, roberts and noddy in the other.

hoping for 1900+

 

[rocker_oz33]

Re COS.

Kolo to come in for stewie.
Will be soon.

Apart from Bews I'm unsure if we got any other small defensive players.

We might be to tall.

Thought he played well and run to give a option .

I hate auto-correct when it changes campaigners to captainers.

FOS

Still a few moves in the pipeline for tomorrow which I need to consider.

 

[Plugger35]

Macrae, Sinclair and NWM.

Hall

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Some stinky rookies this year

 

[Hawkboy62]

1093/10(c) which seems okay. 7 non-rookies plus Lashcroft and Murphy Reid tomorrow. Lowest score included is Knevitt's 58.

Had a bit of luck as I traded FOS rather than Tsatas to Lashwood and COS pulled an 88 partly due to Stewart's injury..

Levi
Xerri, Sheezel, Daniel, Oliver
Clark, Brayshaw, M Reid, Roberts

Heaps of close matches by projections, most of them losing at about the 1800 mark.

This was supposed to a horror week for me as I have Callahan, Ash and Taylor with the bye.

Some YT poster was waxing lyrical about the amazing 2024 Draft. Kent obviously doesn't SuperCoach.

 

[goondog]

Wowee. Rookies been hot trash so far.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Projected 1809 with some pretty low projections for tomorrow so should beat that. Probably between 1850 and 1950.

Will take considering I decided to hold both Flynn and Baz plus Callaghan bye. Most guys I could have swapped them to have been pretty average so dont think itll cost me much.

 

[gutsroy]

rocker_oz33 how long Stew Balls got blue balls?
How bad's the knee?

 

[gutsroy]

Sweet baby Jesus, fair to say Macrae had a decent old day out

 

[gutsroy]

Stewart, Smith and the Horny one. Absolutely cooked me today.

Got all.them, we won't be Robinsons Crusoe.
Is what it is, she's a marathon, not a sprint, whatever doesn't kill us will... Yeah, nah, we're in strife

 

[marcmurphy3]

With Archer out reckon theres a good chance one of Kerch or FOS good back. Thoughts Roos fans?

 

[gutsroy]

SDK only 74.
He have to cover for Stewart or what?
Christ on a bike.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

SDK only 74.

Christ on a bike.

Trade him for Freijah. Far better role and far less reliant on match ups to score.

Sdk gets mauled by more physical rucks still

Only worry is that Freijah was mid 20:s at half time (I think, might have been 28 or something)
Had a great second half, tremendous,.though, and does seem.to have a good role.
Will.appreciate in value in any case now short term

 

[gutsroy]

Turning off the replay, but Stewart 9 prorated a decent effort, I guess. Was a good matchup on paper, 9 is a bit of a dagger.
At least he doesn't plummet in value, minor silver lining

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Sinclair & Macrae went nuts! Dawson was great too yesterday.

13/1149

- Xerri (C), Gawn, L.Ashcroft, Sheezel, Oliver, Daniel, FOS, Roberts, O'Driscoll, Bice

Lowest 5 scores are 24, 34, 58, 61 & 72

Potentially 8/900

 

[gutsroy]

Scythe94 Jiska confidence level in going early on Lindsay as Dees supporters with objectivity?
Stewart and Perryman have to go next week, could front load Lindsay to at least avoid a boost.

 

[timtimtim]

Few Macrae captainers coming out of the woodwork

Always happens some kents have a head wobble...

Just be glad I wasn’t one of the 0.4% Macrae owners that put the C on him

You’d be hearing head wobble for the next month
