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.

I think the 'Best 18' really helps with the lack of good backline rookies as you can probably carry 1 or 2 that would be too costly to keep if it was best 22. Bice looked good and Trainor passed the eye test too. I didnt see the Bombers guys but im hoping they have some sort of job security. Bo Allan probably comes in too next round. Its barren but its not total doom and gloom i think.

Yep that -12 would be handy

Zreid and Prior will play ever game this year if fit. So they do have the JS.

SPP to Baz when it opens.

Got the cash by downgrading Rozee to Peatling

 

[Seymour Skinner]

lindsay, lashcroft, lalor and kako. not sure who to go for first..

long, read, kentstanty and warner in consideration too.

not to mention i went a.reid over boyd.

Lash at the top of my list, he's definitely coming in this week.

Discuss.

I have missed at least 3 rookies that look very, very good.
Lash, Lalor, Lindsay.
Lash and Lalor specifically look like they will get FWD DPP.

Gotta get on the front foot and grab at least one of them this week, because there will no doubt be carnage in some shape or form next week when most of the players hit the bubble.

not bad for a Lachie Neale owner but probably 30-40 under par at a guess.
I’m happy with the team aside from the one obvious fault that will be corrected shortly.

 

[_Cerberus_]

Lindsay in for Tsatas if they both produce the same after round two. Campo and Reid two other options to keep an eye out for. Leake, Berry and Stone were a little underwhelming. Davidson didn't score big, but covered heaps of ground and led the game in repeat sprints, should see better games ahead.

2205. This is my team rn

 

[South of the Yarra]

Pretty happy with 2221

Errors
Ashcroft on the bench and Tsatas on the field cost 34 points
Kako on bench and Davidson on ground cost 23 points
Late minute Captaincy change from Xerri to Sheezel cost 16 points

Coaching Errors- 83 points

Haha, fair call. Only way is up though...surely

I thought that much of Reid but wasnt sure about Prior. Good to hear that he has great job security too!

 

[Deliverance]

Gc look very good

Dimma took that list at the best possible time.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Finished 2204.
Really happy with my midpricers like Smith and macrae and flynn everyone except perryman good.
Some rookies like paton FOS and tsatas underperformed. Might need a correction or two.

Prior has JS given Jake Kelly played a lot they like that type. Don't think he scores well though.

Hello fellow nerd...nice side

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Thing is with Prior a couple of his efforts were totally noncompetitive. On thin ice I would guess.

 

[Deliverance]

2110, Serong the biggest let down

Scott is pretty stubborn with team selection

Scott is pretty stubborn with team selection

I hopes he stays in as I have him in. But they keep on banging on about lifting standards at EFC so it will be interesting to see what happens.
