Discussion 2025 Opening Round Discussion

[Deliverance]

My thoughts haven't changed
80-90 sc average.

He's okay value but nowhere near Roberts value

Needs to push 100-105 to be worth it. Won't make enough cash with a 90 average.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Same here, but that's 90% because I'm a tradeaholic

 

[Makeshift Park]

Where’s that VainGlorious scallywag gone? The gif game around here just hasn’t been the same for the past month.

 

[gutsroy]

Going to be super-interesting to see where Finn-sanity's ownership lands
Awkward to jump on a kid you didn't have in your calculations all off-season (for logical enough reasons), but you could mount the argument that he can give you what Rozee and Cerra might at an even lower outlay.
440k Callaghan vs 420k Perryman, I know who I'd be looking harder at (yes, diff linesl

 

[stevebbb]

Just need to log-off SC and come back on Thursday. The FOMO is peaking.

MUST. NOT. GIVE. IN. AND. RUIN. MY. SIDE!

 

[rocker_oz33]

Haven't won away here vs GWS since 2016.
It was only Pendles 229th game.
Travis Cloke and Jesse White were still playing FFS.

Bent over again by our persimmon masters, this time without any cinnamon scented lube.

When's our bye? We need a rest.

GWS have a good record vs me pussy cats.
They keep losing players but they keep Cumming..

Only rd zero.

I'd take GWS Finn over cerra.etc.

Cons pretty shitty bye.
Need to see him with Green.
Cogs not moving the cogs well.
Might be early bolter.

Pros won't change in price til round 3.
You can swap him for someone else.

Who dates wins..

Have to see more of Finn before making a call on him. Old man Pendles can't stay in the pies midfield based on todays display and that was Finns opponent. Slow AF. Scoring history doesn't scream pick me. Green returns next week. Melbourne have a midfield.

If he can ton up next week i will be more impressed.

Yep that was the worst game I've seen pendles play in like 15 years.
Loved that bloke in my sc team.

Yeah, am not bringing in either.
Still feel like Perryman might be like 90-95, and Callaghan has the moving pieces around him and the bye.
But he took off the belt and gave my mob a fair old hiding today

 

[rocker_oz33]

Didn't see much of the last Q.
Perryman looked pretty good .
Didn't crack the tonne.
Maybe not as polished as otherz.

Still a perry good option imo.
Does JDG take chips off him?

So many cheap options in the guts.
It's like an all you can buffet..

 

[BobP]

Leake's performance and TOG today has solidified in my mind the necessity of going 5 deep in defence. Injury concerns with Reid, first season for Trainor, and Cunningham will be in for Paton in a few weeks time.

Was going well in H1, was above 60, from memory
Second half score squeeze and his TOG in Q4 was low, looked like he cramped up a touch late. Not like Daicos, but a little.
Someone else will correct of I'm talking shit

Perry looked good eps early on.
He's a goer.A plus effort.
Lacks polish.

Is a keeper? unsure.
Also small sample size.

Yep. This.

And then he has a Bye. There will definitely be a failed midpricer to cull by Round 3.

This is the thing.

People are highlighting the scoring limitations of Perryman’s role, but really, if you accept that any more than one onfield def rookie will be a total liability this year, how many viable alternatives for Perryman are there?

 

[BobP]

Also, Perryman will be fine. Was one of the highest scorers on a Collingwood team that got smashed. Looking at their midfield line-up, I don't really see where else the points go.

 

[Saints4ever]

Perryman was elite in the first half.

Faded in the 2nd half.

Not sure why.

Passed the eye test for me.

Would pick him if it wasn’t for that stinking round 3 bye.

This is my problem right now.
Unsure what I will do.
Even if I add 200k to Perryman I don't like the options

That stinking round 3 bye doesn't stink so much now that the lions and cats will be part of it.

This is true but with best 18 I’m looking at having as many midprice-gun players as possible.

He's currently in my basement.

That's what happens when you go on a year too long.

Just ask Dusty and Cotchin
