Discussion 2025 Opening Round Discussion

[Maybe Tomorrow]

 

[Lord De Goey]

I don't think i can pick Noah unless he gets his bye changed. Just too much value around that price without the bye. Please do the right thing Dillon

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Hilarious.

Dillon and the AFL need the QLD Premier to make a decision for them because they're so ****ing inept at doing it themselves.

What a ****ing shit show.

Learning from Covid. Can't be at fault if the government make the decision for you.

Hi Kenties, been offline for a wee while - has opening round been cancelled yet?

 

[4tune8]

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...

Is that a good thing?

 

[Choppers]

Is that a good thing?

Can be.....but I do find that I'm talking to myself quite a bit......out loud......and then answering myself...

 

[timtimtim]

Neale

Imagine if after locking him in they played silly buggas with his bye and it also landed on Rd12

Hahahaha

 

[Obese Arachnid]

I've watched the AFL video release & I'm still not sure what's going on.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Make it happen. Will mean massive changes for everyone from a SC perspective if those two teams no longer have an early bye.

Can put my lad Washcroft in now

 

[BuckleysBrigade]

Putting aside the (warranted) hand wringing at the AFL’s ineptitude, at least this will mean more players available and more variability in SC teams - we sorely needed it after all these premo injuries

 

[Smooth Banana]

Calling smart people. What effect do these game cancellations have now, in terms of our starting teams? Say Neale for example . I'm a bit slow, thanks in.advance kents

4 teams now, who were scheduled for an early bye, have now had it cancelled .....which means SC players from 4 teams will have an extra game, for SC purposes .....

Only thing that’s clear is we need another cyclone to take out the greater Sydney area

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.

Rumoured to be scheduled between Round 17 and 18.

ESS vs GC in Melbourne then GC vs ESS up there.

He’s now a more attractive option to throw into the M1 pot. It doesn’t change things drastically. Maybe Baz even more attractive as a mid price fwd, Holmes or Zorko an option.

So how will your team change mate, specifically?

 

[timtimtim]

anyone have any idea how AFL will reschedule?

Lions Cats can be redone in Rd 3 and 16

But trickier with Suns Bombers neither share a same bye

Any chance they don’t replay, award 2pts each… and teams keep both byes?

Select Max Holmes.
Do not pass go
Do not collect $200.
Thank Scoops later
(To go the non-dickhead response for a minute, folks will more strongly.comsider Neale in the midfield, e.g,., there is no constraint on not picking too many Lions / Cats players now if it is confirmed that the clash shifts to Rd 3, so it opens up Holmes, potentially Stewart, SDK if you aren't worried about Chris Scott doing Chris Scott things.
For Essendon and GCS, it is not as cut and dried, because it is currently not clear when their clash will be rescheduled, but in theory it helps their selectability because they won't be on the by in Rd 4 / 2 respectively, and if the clash is rescheduled later in the year, it's a lot easier to plug a gap than in the early rounds, so it makes them more viable, too).
Don't ask me, mate, I just work here.

Would say zero chance they split points, thought Lions Cats was confirmed Rd 3(?)
Edit: Seems it's the most likely outcome, but not confirmed. Scoops stands corrected

I ****en love the AFL.

Not the sport just the organisation.

I ****en love Shannon Hurn.
Not the footballer, just the sheep whisperer
Hope the crafties are going down well

 

[Jiska]

Nick Daicos out, Lachie Neale in.

130 score in Round 3 from Lachie as opposed to a rookie score. 60-70 points difference IMO.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Only thing that changes in my side, is I can afford to have more R3 Bye players, given GEEL & BRIS matches have been rescheduled

I had 4 players on that bye, which was a bit of a concern ....not now

 

[Spacedog]

Rumoured to be scheduled between Round 17 and 18.

ESS vs GC in Melbourne then GC vs ESS up there.

Im interested in what would happen for SC if that happens. Either they get 2 games in a round or more likely the game doesn’t count
