Game Day 2025 Round 5 Discussion ...Carnage

[Heaps of fun]

First 2000 since rd 1. Hopefully things are starting to turn.

If I end the season with this rank I'll consider it a huge win!

Well, with the “flex” position you have 23 “on field” but you only score the best 22 of those 23, so the worst score gets dropped out of the final calculation

Still not sure that accounts for as big a drop as what you’ve had though

The only way l could get the drop l had was if the Flexi was being added to the live score and then removed on complation of the last game...l had Kako (38) as flexi which would be close to the difference of the points l am missing but wasnt needed as all my players scored higher than (38)

Well done, mate!

Keep us updated as to your progress.

NSWCROW is the only other person I’ve seen with a better rank.

 

[kool kangas]

Stiff to lose that one with your score, crazy that it ended up a porcentaje booster for them
That score is a monster

2520 was the highest score this week...WOW!

 

[VainGlorious]

Started the season ranked 4065 after round one.

It’s all gone downhill from there.



Will have to try and trade my way back into contention.

Have a great week everyone.

2,043. Traded Rozee for Dawson summed up the week dropped 11,691 ranks down to 19,741. Just a dirty week all round

Thanks mate

Bounced back after a horror Round 4. My goal of top 10k is still on the cards!

 

[Faz 2000]

A 2196, good enough to be non-competitive in most of my leagues.

I guess glad I held JHF, SPP and Lashcroft, that's about the extent of the highlights.

There will be 2 Barossa games again.

St Kilda has already put a request in to play in one of those games.

Friends and I have been talking about where it might be held after Barossa, any thoughts? Probably needs to be within easy distance from Adelaide, maybe somewhere down the Fleurieu? Strathalbyn maybe, they've played some trial games there and the town is great for visiting tourists

South Adelaide want a game to be played at Noarlunga. Lol what a shithole that place is. Good luck getting out of there alive.

The only other SANFL ground where it could work is Prospect Oval as the ground is a bigger size compared to Norwood Oval. You could close off Prospect Road and have a food and wine festival there similar to what is done on the Parade. Lots of restaurants along Prospect Road.

The only other place they could consider is down at Victor Harbor but it is a big commitment financially to bring the ground up to AFL standard.

Hopefully it’s not 34 degrees again. So many people had heat issues. A lot ended up leaving early or sitting out the back. And hopefully they sort out the grandstands. This was what the AFL called sold out grandstands as game started.

Great advice on Kies Winery Nelso. We were straight out and back in Adelaide within 55 minutes.

Glenelg looked pretty good the other day

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

2102. Rank down to 22072

 

[Nelso]

Glenelg Oval is too small for AFL footy. Another postage stamp.

Sorry I could not catch up for that beer. We will have to do it next year if you come over. I had so many other things going on this weekend as I had people over from interstate hence the reason going to the Saints match yesterday.

Hopefully the government fixes up the train line from Gawler to Lyndoch as it would have been perfect to transport fans to the ground from Adelaide. I really should speak to someone here at work about that

Enjoy the long drive home.

 

[_Cerberus_]

Terrible week of scoring for Premos. I somehow made just over 2000 with only 4 players scoring 100 and a poor captain. Was ranked in the 9000s, dropped back to the 20's, ouch.

 

[AflNerd22]

2237, up to 6.9k

Elizabeth? Despite it being where it is?

All good, another time. Yep a train would have been exceptional. No point spending all that money for 2 days though. Trains are not cheap to run and maintain, even if you have the required regular patronage (something I know a bit about). They’re like aquatic centres; you need a bottomless money pit to fund them.

Just heading through Tailem Bend, single lane all the way to Ararat now

 

[HocusPocusFocus]

Happy with this one considering last week's excrement-laden effort! Now just preparing myself for the wheels to fall off yet again.

Too dangerous & the cost of bodyguards makes the experience too expensive

Not that bad Nelso. Bloody great part of Adelaide!! Been living here for nearly 18 months now. Shits on Melbourne.
Sure, your car might go missing but you'll get out alive

I have cash to splash (455K) so hopefully another 2K next week

Elizabeth Oval would be good - it's a nice size and plenty of room around it for temporary grandstands. It's on a regular suburban train line with a station nearby, so they could put on extra trains for people to get there and back.
