Game Day 2025 Round 19 Discussion – who needs content when we have badges?

[Scythe]

Hello, dear friends. I've not had the time to write a proper preview this week, but to placate the masses, I'll use this post to give you a look at the shiny new badges I've made that will be awarded to our league and comp winners this year.

Draft and Tragics






But now that I have you here, I guess I should say a few words about this week.

Our dear community has experienced not one, not two, not three, not four, but as many as five misfortunes this week, with popular ruck Tristan Xerri

tragically suffering a hamstring injury.





Once the tears are wiped away and the dust settles, I imagine there will be a few coaches finally joining Saints4ever in the exclusive 'No Trades Club'. Good luck for this week and the remaining six in this rather cursed season, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.​

This won’t last but can I have a leading at round 19 badge??

Anything for you, my friend

Perhaps the biggest tragedy for A Bit Dusty and the wider community is that I won't be melting about King Maxy's 60-point last quarters anymore

 

[iDon]

anyone else have none of the 5 injured?

Supercoach... The place where if you boast even ever so slightly and you get smited by the SC gods. Who feed off misery.

Would Houston be the most disappointing SC premo pick of 2025? Huge drop off from the last 3 seasons.

If it wasn’t for his suspension, I’d imagine he would have been in a fair few starting teams.

I’m thankful I swapped out Xerri during the bye weeks and ran out of trades to get him back in. My ineptness has been a success for once!

Collingwood where SC players go to die.

Those badges look slick!

Who else? Can’t really think of anyone off the top of my head.

Titch, perhaps? Though you could argue his decline had already started in his last year at Hawthorn.

 

[Lord De Goey]

Titch, perhaps? Though you could argue his decline had already started.

I’m not sure that’s fair. Only went from a 96 average down to a 94.

I’m pretty sure it’s Don just having a dig at collingwood.

If you add Houston to the poll, I'm now at 4 OUT: Xerri, Rozee, Horne-Francis and Houston.

Sorry friend, poll is reserved for premos.

Horne-Shitness a lucky inclusion.

[mochacinolatte]

These forward options are pathetic

 

[Sherman41]

Thinking the plan is to see how Kako and Clarke go tomorrow before I decide on what trades to do.

If Kako goes well, I can move Petracca to mids to cover Rozee and a donut to forward line.

If Clarke goes well, I can move Rozee back and play Holmes/Sheezel/Sinc in mids.

If both go I either trade Rozee or play either of Jackson or Liddy.

Somehow I see myself getting 2x40-50 scores tomorrow night and then copping a 40 from whichever port rookie I field whilst the other goes 70+.

I know you’re busy Scythe, but it seems you have forgotten a very important badge, that has been MIA for 12 months?

That was for last year's cup, yeah? Leave it with me and I'll get it sorted out

Haha! Cheers mate, I never win anything. I need my 15 minutes of fame!

At least you have Kako as cover
