Game Day 2025 Round 2 Discussion

[South of the Yarra]

Round 2 in Poetry

The rookies from all over came,
With a price so low, they hailed their name,
"Get Tsatas in your squad!" the pundits cried,
FOS is a gun, his price would rise

But when the game kicked off, what did we see?
Davidson, my goodness me!
Few tackles, some kicks, no points to gain—
We were simply left with Rookie pain.

And those premiums, we trusted so,
They burnt our teams, their scores so low
A big score or two seemed all too late—
Our Supercoach hopes met an early fate.

Lachie burnt us and Sanders too,
Will we ever learn? Trade Round 2
Our anger built, our hand was dealt
The only thing to do was melt

But don’t lose hope, it’s still the start,
The season’s long, so don’t lose heart
With trades in hand, we’ll fix our flaws,
Rebuild our teams, rewrite the laws.

For hope’s not gone, it’s just delayed,
A few good picks and we’ll be saved.
The tide will turn, we’ll rise once more
Supercoach dreams? A massive score

The season’s early, but can we see—
Supercoach hopes? A fantasy

Why would Goodwin send a posse of media ambulance chasers Gawn's way?
Seems weird to put it out there

2033.

Thrilled with Jack and Piggy.

 

[tigland]

Open up, its boost time

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

Pretty happy with 1904 given last weeks Top 271 heroics!

Will welcome back Callaghan, Smiffy, Lynch and possibly Flyn next week.

40 trades still in tact!

 

[Test Tickle]

OPEN UP FFS!!

 

[Obese Arachnid]

1883.

Postives: I only used one trade, 294K in le puswah.
Apart from that...

Is Tom Brown still a journo? He'd be staking out Gawns house for a week

 

[SavDog23]

1808 with Gawn C

100%, that's why I don't get why Goodwin would proactively put it out there.
'Max is a proud man, he'll bounce back.'
Back your bloke in without getting the journos camped out at Gawn's front porch.
Goodwin's a different cat

Sorry Scoops

Hey I scored over 100 less than that.

You can hit me too.

 

[Axly]

1,911

 

[Faz 2000]

1901 with injuries.

 

[Kadog]

1938

Stewart’s injury will shake up this team with some big defensive changes.

 

[King Max]

I hope the vacuum lasts years and is the best one you ever had

I can’t look at it now!

 

[fuic08]

2118
Xerri C

Dropping Hewett 58, Fos 42, Kako 34, Harcia/Trainor 24

Frustrating week though

Originally went Harcia to Baz then reversed and went Flynn ( Flex ) > Paton to flex > Holmes
Then proceeded to miss the Harcia sub news so had to field his spud ass


Then had to go to a barbie today so would be AFK, went Paton to Heweett 5tt over Bice arrrggghhh
Consoling myself knowing Hewett is DPP

Unfortunate week to get you in the Crows league haha

 

[Raveneyes]

1972

Heroes
Rozee with a nice VC, Clark (8%!), Cerra, and WAshcroft (just). My <25% owned brigade than tonned up.

Villains
Sheezel, Gawn, Petracca (got Goodwin'ed), Matthew Nicks, and especially that vidiot JHF.

After seeing other scores around here....

Did run into NSWCROW in the Tradeaholics league though. Pantsed me by 146 with his 2118.
What a week for Crow Crow! Bet you enjoyed that!

$275k and 38 trades left. Looking forward to seeing what I can do with the cash this week.

 

[Duckworthy]

Hey, on the bright side it’s got some red on it. Will remind you of the red and black team. Should really suck well

[RilesMacca]

Rough week in the end with 1799.

Trac C, paying 25k more for Gawn over Xerri, and a handful of point swings go the wrong way.

Positives, Levi good on debut, held Tsatas and Murphy Reid had a solid 75 so turning out to be a rookie worth picking. Eyeing out Sinclair or Clark for next week.

[Blackhawk42]

So i was 20 points short of beating last weeks score with a full 22

Literally the same.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

1796.

What a disaster of a round.

2 of my first 3 trades used on Tom Stewart, gonna be a long year isn't it.
