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

Especially when they just gift him points

Nah, brought his helmet and lunch in a brown paper bag today. Blue collar hero, role model to us all

TDK unlucky. His game should comfortably be 120+. Underscored.

 

[Funbeanman]

13.9%

Seems a bit low considering his preseason form, his price and previous scoring history

 

[Jiska]

Lucky for toxic he still has a day to go on his suspension. Could have been a permaban visiting the Carlton board tonight

 

[SavDog23]

Will Day 5 ****ing frees against.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Anyone does not have Cerra? Looks like a must have at that price

Better pick than Day at least.

 

[Max the great]

How did Cerra pass TDK?
Hasn't done a heap in the last few minutes.
Oh well, will take it

TDK nearly best player on the ground. Cerra disappears when game is hot every time. No impact. Scores more than TDK... embarrassing

Day caught HTB again.

He's gone for Cerra next week.

90 averages his whole career bar 2023

 

[Scythe94]

211/2 pre-scaling. Cripps and TDK solid but not spectacular (the latter was marked pretty harshly by the nerds, so the VC was a bit of a waste).

 

[fuic08]

VC Cripple a fail

 

[Bob Butter]

TDK unlucky. His game should comfortably be 120+. Underscored.

Wish he got scored like Will Day, 7 clangers 5 FA’s and still gets 79. Lost no points for his last 2 FA’s, game was over but still.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Cerra 115 from 73% time on ground

Has TDK
Does not have Cerra

Amazing how you can never see the bloke when the game is on the line.

Salty bud?

Carlton have lost both games.

You might be right, but I own Cerra, so happy days.
Objectively Brownlow favourite and AFLPA award candidate, possible UN Ambassador nom

Bad night for Day

More Kath than Kel.

 

[Bob Butter]

CD really hating on TDK tonight. Now I need to decide which of my other spuds is worthy of the big C.

 

[gutsroy]

Cerra 115 from 73% time on ground

His TOG is a worry, tbh. Hope he builds into 80-odd

Hard to impact the game when he's played out of position to fit in spuds like Motlop and Williams. Only 73% TOG too.

28 touches, 550m gained, 12 contested and a snag.

Yep 100% mate

 

[Macka1203]

cerra my glorious king. was such a fun own in 2023 so i couldn’t resist this year. great stuff

 

[Veer Right]

Any of my mids get injured from round 4 onwards, Newcombe will be the one coming in

On the flip side is Day who cannot handle a tag.. at all. He was bad.

TDK score is light, Carlton never looked likely to score unless he was dominating in the middle. His impact was huge until he tired.

Cerra
Campo as expected

Gave them away for fun. Then you’ve got his 7TO’s. B2B 70’s he can **** off.
