Game Day 2025 Round 4 Discussion

[WaynesWorld19]

I expected BIG Maxy to bounce back last week ....but nah, the bonds of our relationship are being severely tested

This week has been a real melting pot of emotions ......we lost, albeit temporarily, our beloved cash cow Lindsay ....but we also gained cash cows Morae's ,Bice, Humpa, Murphy Reid, COS, Davidson ....and Maric


We also have a number of players also about to "show me the money" ......B.Smith, and Rowell

And there's a need to start planning for all the new positional changes coming after next week ......Petracca (FWD), Sheezel (FWD) Henderson (FWD) and FOS (DEF) .....more possibilities than last year

Welcome to Round 4 of the SuperCoach Season .....good luck everyone !

 

[Ingy]

I'm a little cork-a-hoop because many folks are umming and aahing about which 3 of Moraes, Bice, Bazlenka, Humpa and Maric to get in and I traded Bice in before his 96 and Maric before his 123.

Which means I can and will grab Moraes, Humpa and the Sniffer this week and I'll have em all. I'm kind of a big deal.

Inb4 two of them score 50 and another gets an LTI.

Good luck this weekend you filthy animals.

Pls pls pls Mini give Flynn a recall, TDK is absolutely buggered doing all of the rucking in my team on his lonesome

Sheezle & Trac aren't going to be Top 10 Forwards they will be lucky to be in the Top 20.

 

[Ingy]

Sheezle & Trac aren't going to be Top 10 Forwards they will be lucky to be in the Top 20.

It wouldn't take much to change for that to be untrue about Sheez.

He gets the fwd status and then sometime after is put back in the middle or to halfback, and he could be the highest scoring forward for the back half of the season easily

Didn't NORTH play Sheezel at HB in the last Qtr against the Crows ....was that a sign ?

Yep but shoosh

 

[JuddgementDay]

I'm locked and loaded for this round... until, the team selection carnage of course

I have had such a horrid start - I can't wait til these best 18 rounds are over.
But, I've started my redemption and I will continue to fight this week!

 

[northcotehead]

255 in the world at round 4 is unprecedented for me. I know not many points separate me from the thousands but is this the situation where I make a bold antipod move to separate from the pack. Or continue conservatively.
Sheez, JHF and Oliver out for Whitfield, Sinclair and Baz or Humphrey. That's what's on the brain until teams come out.

 

[Scythe]

Sheezle & Trac aren't going to be Top 10 Forwards they will be lucky to be in the Top 20.

So you're saying the likes of Humphrey, Simpkin, Keays, Kennedy, Thilthorpe etc are going to average more over the course of the season than Sheezel and Petracca?

What sort of odds are you offering for that prediction, my dear friend?

Unless they get played in their best position then Yes they won't be Top 20.

I won't comment on sheez because I'm clearly biased.
But idk about trac. I'm really tempted to trade him even if he gets dpp.
He just looks miles off it and I don't think he wants to be there.
The forward crop is actually pretty good this year. I know it's early but if we get Chad or touk it's going to be a good scoring line.
We currently have 5 players over 110 average
And 13 over 100.

Actually felt like Petracca has been working bloody hard, has been getting into OK spots and they just turn it over / miss him, and playing forward in a team that doesn’t create great forward ball movement isn’t easy.
But might have the rose-coloured glasses on
Overall worry is they look a bottom 6 side on exposed form, going to get crushed in the point squeeze a bit.
Maybe a Scythe / jiska has a more informed view

 

[Jiska]

South of the Yarra you know what to do

 

[iDon]

Squarely hoping that Sniff has himself a nice tidy 20 touches, 15 clangers and subbed out on 25.

TA

It's not all about trac either it's about us having options in the forward line that are cheaper and are a fair chance to go 100.
The forward line doesn't seem the waste land it has in previous years.
I have 5 forwards already I think will out average trac. Throw in maric or hump or Davidson plus Warner when he drops in I'm not sure how trac getting dpp helps.

Maric and Humphrey could go close enough at half the price, absolutely.
Question is whether Petracca can rebound to 110-ish output at some stage, completely different box of frogs if that happens and holding might be OK if he can land at (just spitballing here) like 105 on the year(?)
Fair old size if, though, can understand people kicking the tyres on him, JHF, Sheezel, and there will definitely be cases where turfing will be the right call
Just buggered if I know which ones

100%
He will improve at some stage but when is the question.
There is only 2 forwards more expensive than him at the minute and 22 averaging more than him.
Hell there is 5 averaging 25 points more than him.
He's a worry. Dpp is not the cure to his woes. To stay in my team on any line he needs to improve.

 

[Scythe]

Unless they get played in their best position then Yes they won't be Top 20.

The 20th best forward in every SuperCoach year as far back as scoring history goes has never averaged more than 81. There's zero change they won't be top-20 if they stay fit.

Anyway let's not fight A Bit Dusty

I'm just grumpy because I picked a jet who has turned into a kite.

Yeah, I think there will be exit ramps you can take that will end up working.
But have Trac, Sheezel, JHF, F Callaghan, Conor 'relishes a tag' Rozee etc.
Keep flicking them around at a loss every time and I'm ****ed,will try to build around them and hope they come good

They make us look like fools don’t they. Stick with Neale (in my case) and I’m losing massive points when he decides to drop a sub 80 every second round. Trade him out, and others like JHF and Cheeze and all of a sudden I’m out of trades by round 20 and my side was never a chance to be complete.

another shite performance, and hes gone next week. id rather salvage the 500k and grab myself a real premo.

Im grumpy because I missed SPMarics breakout game so I traded him in
