Game Day 2025 Round 1 Discussion

[South of the Yarra]

Twas the morning of SuperCoach, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The rookies had been selected by the experts with care,
In hopes that the SuperCoach Gods would be there;
The coaches were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of mid price magic danced in our heads;
With value all over and still room in our cap,
We had just settled our teams from our long summer nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and then came the crash
The moon lit our fears as our dreams all sunk low
We were smacked with reality by the objects below,
Because what to my wondering eyes did appear,
We knew it was coming, carnage was here.

Should have rebuilt sooner. Blind freddy could see that. Sold our future for T Kelly. Lots of bad/average picks. Pick up baker and Graham for some reason. Tassie comes in..... the future is pretty bleak for WC.

Baker the shining light to end all shining lights, to bei fair to him.
Only bloke who can hit a target out of defence, chasing, tackling, smothers, been excellent.
Could do.with a couple more mates

Gc look very good

I must say its very interesting whether the obvious 3 gun rucks setup or 2 of the 3 with Flynn will be better off in the long run. After this round, both strategies seem to have paid dividends and obviously it would be very hard to tell which would be more beneficial. Im happy with my 3 pronged attack but if you have 2/3 and Flynn you'd be happy too. Win-win

 

[Jiska]

Need 29 from Flynn. Not feeling confident.

 

[SavDog23]

**** the byes.

Avoided starting Rowell so I didn't miss a RD2 premo score. Started Will Day to get that extra score and a price rise then become Rowell. But now Rowell is probably gonna outscore both of Days scores in 1 match

FMD what a cluster**** of a start to the season.

 

[PoopingHindi]

Hewett hasn’t been terrible. he hits the contest hard, just doesn’t get to nearly enough of them.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Given he has gone forward, it could be tough...or maybe he will snag a couple!

 

[Jiska]

West Coast does that to teams

All depends on how long and how well Flynn plays. If he gets to 400k and you don't have him. It trumps 3 gun rucks easily

Not sure I’d be happy if I didn’t own Flynn, pending injuries he’s likely to be the best overall cash cow we have this year.

He has done some good things and some terrible. He rips in though, cant fault him for that.

Will get 30

Im not sure he will be the best cash cow to be honest but you're right, he will be up there. However, locking in 3 massive scores each week could be just as handy given it seems that a fair few of the genuine premium mids struggled or are injured

 

[gutsroy]

Witts has won the last 20+ ruck contests.
Was something like 37:11 earlier on, 59:11 now.
Mother's Day Massacre sans Mother's Day

 

[tiltraise]

Hewett has been ok since his donut q1

 

[Sherman41]

Jeez I am flat lads, the dream of 6 straight cricket flags is over.
Just had our first loss since November 2021 today.

Nothing went right

SC hasn’t been a disaster at least.

Captain Gawn scored -2 in the last quarter, WTF. Was sure he was going to outscore VC TDK.

Petracca must have butchered it I assume.

Whitfield is a

Oliver

MacRae

Rankine

All out 2136. Can’t complain to much.

Did I mention cricket can get flucked

 

[TasSixer]

2115 with Noah and Flynn trucking along, go kents

 

[Lord De Goey]

My beautiful Noah Anderson making Reid look silly

Yes and no, given the 3 gun rucks can offer extra VC/C options as well. Honestly, i cant quantify it but i decided id be happy if Flynn averaged 80-85 and i avoided him in favour of the 3 guns. It obviously depends on many factors but if it becomes something like TDK + H.Garcia v Flynn + Petracca then its a close call. Flynn seems like a risk free underpriced selection but the value of TDK and the consistancy of Xerri/Gawn is also super valuable.

Currently, im happy with my 3 but id be happy with 2 plus Flynn too

 

[RoughysMullet]

Come on Flynn rub out a 90

 

[Falchoon]

I'm getting poleaxed

 

[RoughysMullet]

Anderson might be a must have post bye- looks like a pig

 

[rocker_oz33]

2006 with only Maric to play.

Shithouse

Kicked in the balls .
He was sub .
That blows.

 

[Jiska]

Anderson might be a must have post bye- looks like a pig

Hard to find 600k lying around

 

[marcmurphy3]

Just realised Hewett is outscoring Harley Reid
