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.

Thoughts on Lynch A Bit Dusty

 

[Veer Right]

Trainor named on field over Brown.

I like it.

D6 locked in with confidence.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Thoughts on Lynch A Bit Dusty

You would want big Kahunas to start with him.
He will definitely be underdone he is a No for me but I'm hoping he has a decent game and doesn't get injured.

Thoughts on Lynch A Bit Dusty

Will the ball get down that end of the ground?

 

[JuddgementDay]

Francis Evans? Goodness gracious

Obviously a gun but not well nurtured by the previous two clubs

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Will the ball get down that end of the ground?

The Tigers only had 1 less Inside 50 against the Pies in the last Pre season match.
Lynch will straighten them up at least and we will get plenty of chances but the Blues have a pretty good back 6.

This game might be closer then you think.

Carlton have no goal kickers outside McKay.

Two seriously shit forward lines on paper.

Weitering will be tough

Onfield ahead of Prior or Reid. Rookie roulette.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Hopefully it's a forward tag on Short

Hoping for a Bite aren't you???

We’ll score 100+ points - even with a weakened fwd line

He's a natural ball gatherer i feel. The other two are what they are.

I'm quietly hoping TDK kicks 3 and has 40 possessions for 200sc points in a Blues loss

 

[Flandersss]

Milera to play round 1. Draper likely to miss

Milera D5 very tempting. Can go 75+ easily

WaynesWorld19 changing his team as we speak.

Nah, nah .....wait & see, no PS games .....but then, not the type of Player to trade-in

For how long is the concern.

What could go wrong

 

[gutsroy]

Trainor on-field with blokes like Brown on the bench, maybe his JS will be OK.
Rate Brown, fwiw, so if Trainor's got the nose in front, he can't be a spud

He’s definitely not a spud. Has had a lot of concussion concerns hence his drop in the draft.

 

[Nelso]

Looking forward to rookie roulette as to who to start on the ground this week

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Trainor EMG with Paton onfield. If Trainor dominates maybe i consider trading B.Allan in to grab his score. I am confident Allan will get games so could be worth it. Im bloody tempted to start Camporeale on field if he avoids the sub vest.

Two different roles mate. Brown will be playing off Half Back where Trainor is a KPD.

Is it really worth chasing the points though?

You potentially miss out on the cash generation from the rookie you trade out to a non playing rookie in round one.
