Discussion 2025 Opening Round Discussion

[gutsroy]

Boggles the mind that it took a crack squad of AFL HQ Tiger Teams and a 3-week stakeholder focus session and level set to determine that she's not a great idea to play footy in a cyclone.
These counts pick up huge wages for having just enough intelligence to flush the toilet after they've had a crap.
Time for Scoops to wave his fist angrily at a few clouds.

ur clearly a shifty essendon supporter

 

[JuddgementDay]

Damn - just when I’ve settled my team & with a balanced bye set up too!

 

[Jiska]

This is why "**** the byes" is the best approach.

You can see it now - all those players with "handy bye rounds" are going to be become players with shit bye rounds.

Imagine a Bye round with all the following having the week off: North, Collingwood, Melbourne, Port, Freo and Brisbane

 

[Flandersss]

Is everyone fading Naicos?

 

[Flandersss]

Neale

 

[SavDog23]

Watch the AFL wait until after RD1 when we've locked in our teams to confirm when the matches will be, and then doing some dumb shit like swapping byes and matches around in the most nonsensical way, ****ing over all us SC teams.

 

[pincrusher]

AFL: We'll make a decision after the premier speaks later today.
Premier: We've given the AFL all the information. It's up to them.

Seriously.............

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Thank **** Andrew Dillion wasn’t in charge during Covid.

What a shit preseason. So much has happened to change my team. Does this change much for anyone?

Nekminnit GC have a bye in rounds 2 and 6 and Lord De Goey crashes out over Noah

After Bont went down really wanted either Naicos or Neale but the byes scared me off but an easy decision now.

Possibly, depends on what they do with GC/Ess byes. Assuming they lose their early byes Anderson very much an option.

Will probably start Holmes now too. Brisbane have a great early run. Can see Neale going nuts early doors.

 

[Spacedog]

Thanks to the cyclone for letting me pick Will Ashcroft without having to worry about his bye

Hoping for Essendon v Gold Coast match gets rescheduled to September.
As a Sad Ess supporter, I’ll get to see Ess in action in September for once.

Changes quite a bit for me, team was structured around the early and mid season byes.

Gonna have to go back to square one and restructure, won't really bother anyone who wasn't considering the byes.

Not that it matters, I'm retired and don't mind spending a bit of time rooting around.

Ah! nothing to do......and all day to do it............I know the feeling well..........but I'm assuming here that the people around you at least speak English...

 

[Nelso]

One good thing about the Geelong game being postponed is that Smith will be in a lot of teams now.
