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

With the Baz news I turfed him out for Corey Warner, leaves me $312k to boost my team next week plus it's best 18 for the next few weeks

Finally not picking injured players in the preseason has paid off.

 

[Duckworthy]

You're probably right.
But how long for Flynn? That's a fair chunk of change waiting at R3.

I'm running Gawn and Xerri, so will count on their durability to play every game this year.
Boyd I'll keep for now as the unintended traditional R3 loopman, even though the Saints have two Friday games before the byes, he might be useful other weeks.

For me it came down to who I could replace them with for the money. Flynn couldn’t get me up to anyone worthy and I could get the player I wanted by trading out Boyd. Money ITB would have been handy. Gotta hope Flynn is back quickly for my plan to work I guess

Round two not even over ...

 

[RilesMacca]

Will hold off Baz for a little while now perhaps, calf injury so could be out for a bit longer.

If back next week he'd play Brisbane, if back the week after he'd play Melbourne so some tougher matchups in comparison to the saints so no rush. Wait and see until he's on the bubble.

Bailey Smith faders… Let the streets know… We back up.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

At least everyone has the campaigner.

 

[Biggie]

Baz out?

At least everyone has the campaigner.

Not everyone

 

[Abstract]

Rough for those who started Smith, bit of a let off for those without him. I've got Flynn, but I can't say it's the same and I feel your pain.

*Apologies, wrong thread. It's late..

The same WW had said pedler was the premium mid of the future .
Yeah he's got it going on.like Stacy mum.

 

[gutsroy]

Blow it up and piss off Flynny and Baz?
If Baz can't get thru 2 games without blowing a gasket, how's the count going to get through a season?
Maybe the real Bazlenka son was the Rd1 early crow mates we made along the way

Or hodl?

Many on here faded him because they kept saying he was sore and he missed preseason games. Last week we looked stupid but not this week!

Listened to a couple of podcasts this week, first time I a while, and a few seemed to be saying their mea culpas about not having started Baz and how in retrospect he was the obvious pick bla bla bla, reckon they'll be slamming on the brakes and turfing the peroxide pelican and re-recording the pods haha

No need to walk the plank just yet.
