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

I’ll be sticking with c/vc on the rucks. SdK and Gawn for me. Rucks don’t get tagged. Accidentally leaving the C on Neale last week has me having nightmares of putting that faith in a midfielder that’s likely to get attention from the oppo. Good luck whichever way you go

Neale one of those black swans (or brown underpants stains, whichever you prefer)

 

[gutsroy]

Turfed perryman for dekoning and got Baz in, so will now just swap Baz to lashcroft and grab Lindsay and then grab Freijah next week

 

[rocker_oz33]

SC is better with drinks .

 

[Duckworthy]

Poor selection by me tbh. Premo stocks were thinning out though so I guess I have an excuse. He’ll probably have another season of 50, 50, 180, etc. and finish with a 110+ average. Fail this week and he’s on borrowed time

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Calf for Bailey sniff could turn into a 3-4 weeker. Dodged a bullet there.

Could also just be tightness that wasn't worth risking on the hard Marvel surface.

 

[Red4]

boosted to get baz, now wondering if I just straight swap to sdk or save the boost and just get lashcroft and lindsay

 

[iDon]

Bullet dodged.

Although I was going to give into temptation and trade him in this week.

Flat as a tack here.

Could be.

But played in a praccy, missed a game.
Plays Rd 1, misses Rd 2.

He will be managed all season long if this is how he’s pulling up after a run.

[Plugger35]

I'll be OK with Smith missing a week or maybe two but any more than that and you would have to think about punting him.

Banging his way through Torquay probably not helping his calves.

Wishful thinking for non owners. Sounds like a pre caution on the marvel surface, but anything more than a week is a win.

 

[No eye deer]

Yes VC on rozzee.

Whole lotta.

Fook imagine ACDC with Bon past 1980.

Bon. The Man!!!!!

Had ice on the lower leg after the Freo game might of got a knock.
I didn't see anything.

 

[vanders]

Not a Baz owner how unfortunate

 

[JT_the_Man]

Bailey Smith faders… Let the streets know… We back up.

This is what concerns me as a non-holder.
How many more matches will he miss?

I've smashed that reverse button. Likely to take Lindsay for Flynn now instead.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Bon. The Man!!!!!

Got a pic near bon statue when we were couple years back.
Pretty nice area.had a good time.

The boys were not ready for him to sign the songs on black n black .
Always wondered how he would song on those songs.

I had Flynn at flex and Boyd at R3. Reckon Flynn is a big chance to play more (and soon) and Boyd is a big chance not to be seen again this season. I traded out Boyd

Possibly.

Lucky it's only best 18 this week. I will hold for now.

You're probably right.
But how long for Flynn? That's a fair chunk of change waiting at R3.

I'm running Gawn and Xerri, so will count on their durability to play every game this year.
Boyd I'll keep for now as the unintended traditional R3 loopman, even though the Saints have two Friday games before the byes, he might be useful other weeks.

 

[JuddgementDay]

RD1.5 and we’ve got quite a shake up - no Flynn, Boyd & now Baz - what a season already!

 

[mochacinolatte]

Baz late out, will hold off trading him in then

 

[Veer Right]

Traded Baz in... hmm what to do?

Maybe i could let SPP back in to have a free hit vs the tigers..
