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

I agree in part, but I will need 2 trades next week just to fix up my mess of a team in Defence.
That only leaves 1 more for rookie upgrades and I want both Lashcroft & Lindsay so I might as well take a chance on 1 this week while I have trades & a spot available at Flex.

But you don’t need to fix up the mess this week. Stewart will not play next week and it’s best 18. If you find after today that Lindsay and Lashcroft are both must haves you can grab them next week and deal with Stewart the week after.

So your saying you would hold Stewart?
I will take my chances burning a few trades thanks.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Didn't someone on here make a bet that Macrae wouldnt average 95 or something like that? Might as well pay up already

Haha that was me and MrChristo .. he’s been good and offered to pay up but we’ll let it ride out

Lash is playing WC at the Gabba.

He's prolly gonna enjoy himself

It’s not about burning trades. It’s about seeing two weeks of data before trading in a rookie. Which I’m sure many wish they’d done with Tsatas.

Problemos a foot down at iDon HQ.

T Stewart. Perryman, Garcia, Flynn

Luckily I wasn't too far gone on the beers to quickly flick Garcia to a fwd rookie, couldn't swing him to the mids. FLAT.

Love that Elijah pumped out a little score, faith to hold.

Big day in the LAB today, waiting to see if I lob Ashcroft or Lindsay for Flynn, calculations are that ill need both into my team come round 3.

Game in the bag. Just protecting him.

Damn costing me a draft league probably. FLAT.

Coupla multis too. Dem the swings.

TAB one disposal winners have been my saving grace this part fortnight.

Whew! We've had enough injuries.

 

[Scythe94]

So ready for the SC gods to just put me out of my misery today.

Brayshaw to get the Jordon tag, captain Sheezel to cop a random tag from Langdon and score 60, Matt Roberts to get subbed off, Xerri to be eaten by Gawn, FOS to get three touches stuck on the wrong wing, Trac and Oliver to give each other concussions in a head clash and/or request trades at HT, NOD to lose his mid time, Lashcroft to get subbed off then dropped.

 

[Duckworthy]

14/1207.
Need captain Max to go large and Neale not to stink it up again.
Lashcroft, FOS and NOD the remaining rookies. Let’s hope they give us some solid scores

I went early on both Lindsay and Lashcroft cause there's already 3 other trades I want to do next week - Perryman, Day, Short all out.

Look on the bright side. At least the team you support will have an easy win

I have word that Demons aren't going to be tagging Sheezel. If I had him, I would be captaining him in a heart beat.

I don't go for North though

We don't tag usually – just one of those weeks so far, so preparing myself for the worst haha

Seeing him play in person last week, absolutely screams for the ball any time he's near even if he's in a bad position, future SC gun for sure.

nah trust, he ain't getting tagged.
