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.

 

[Petrify]

2116 before scaling.

English, Garcia, Sanders and Perryman my biggest problems.

English and Perryman get another week. Hopefully can drop Garcia and Sanders for Rankine and something

 

[gutsroy]

2,241. Seems pretty OK, looking around.

 

[Macka1203]

2189

par? unders? have barely seen any footy this weekend

 

[TryAnHit]

2227

 

[Plugger35]

Flynn going hard right to the end and getting me to 2168, he will keep his gig as my flex player, some other players are on notice.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

2150 all out.
If only I didn't have Naicos (C). Ugh.

 

[Spacedog]

2,172. Not great but considering i stuffed my onfield rookies up it’s not horrible

 

[NSWCROW]

2159

mid

 

[Makeshift Park]

2042.

Bloody stupid hobby.

 

[iDon]

2240.

SPP, FOS, Tsat, Hastie, Perryman a worry. No baz/sdk, monitor.

Pretty happy, happy with structure.

 

[Loose at HB]

2190.

Considering my usual Round 1 effort is something in the 1900s and I start the year ranked around 85k - this is a pleasant surprise

Need 5 trades for rookie corrections however

 

[Spider Eater]

witts 68 - 13 ho's and flynn still nearly tonnes up

gotta love the ruck bias

That's because Witts does F-all around ground having a mere 13 touches meanwhile Flynn was busy all day amassing a huge haul of 13 possessions.

 

[Mr Meow]

2150 all out.
If only I didn't have Naicos (C). Ugh.

Same score as me.

My main issue was fielding all of the dud Essendon rookies, and chasing Day. Sheezel so-so as captain too. Oh and swapping Read for Powel Pepper last minute wasn't great.

 

[Saints4ever]

2039.

Not worried I’ll bounce back.

 

[_Cerberus_]

Whoever told me not to get Humphery a few weeks ago. I hope you get crabs

Haven't checked the latest, but finished around 2140ish. With Neale spudding it up, and Dawson having a poor captains score thanks to all the frees against and clangers. Would have been a very good score with 20 plus kicks and a couple of goals.

Making zero trades this week. Giving it one more week to get a better sample and make some corrections in round three if needed.

 

[Spacedog]

Hurry up and open so I can rage trade Perryman

 

[kyri]

2136. got me across the line in most of my leagues (except against wayneo).

considering i fielded 3 dud essendon rookies + davidson and FOS. ill take it.

 

[TasSixer]

2150

The Good
Gawn(C), Xerri, Anderson, Rozee, Holmes, Macrae

The not terrible but not good
Short, JHF

The bad
Sanders, SPP, Davidson.

SPP and Sanders to Lindsay and LAshcroft maybe

 

[RevDog]

2290, happy with that. Would have loved another 10 points though.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

2255.

It's rookie correcting time.

 

[Silky23]

2096

Not phased whatsoever on the score.

2 or 3 rooks to keep an eye on but basically a tale of a lot of premos not performing.

Will make a decision on Harcia later in the week.

D5-D8 my biggest concern at the moment.

 

[Chronz]

2114. Had worse.

 

[Dougy85]

2169 with a lot of the same bad rookies to fix.

 

[Ingy]

Scaling got me to exactly 2200.

Woot woot

 

[marcmurphy3]

2248

Hewett ok in the end. Good role and will be given every opportunitty.
