Game Day 2025 Round 9 Discussion

[JuddgementDay]

Just thinking about injury and suspension and players getting managed.

I feel there has been less carnage at the start of this year than previous years.

I’ve still been burning through my trades though

Yep, it’s building - and with all the good rookies gone - your bench can be very thin too

Good, my team name requires one of the 3 Hayes' on AFL lists to step up.

Loved watching Lenny, absolute champion.

Its me, iDon. You may remember me from such campaigns as FADE Gawn 2024 edition, voodoo every player I currently do not have, or my B grade GIF game. I have been given the keys for one week of gamedays and will try and not let down the powers to be.

I will look at a few key games for this week:

It would appear that Craig McRae is a fan of Samuel L Jackson as on Monday the senior pies boys had themselves a little sleepover movie night. The movie on the agenda:

Pendles, Sidey & co have now developed some fear of flying and won't be making it out west. I mean they also probably not used to sleeping in a hotel in another state to play a game of football in their 20 year careers. But lets go with option 1. Freo in a landslide, Daicos to have sub 70.

Another key matchup below:

The reasons why? Well 14.5% of all coaches have lobbed in The Chad. and 3.9% of coaches have ditched Bice. Have those gone early on Bice? is Chad going to get his 70% CBAs? Top 5 most traded in player this week also includes Sir Zach (who even spells Zac with a H). Will JJ buck his trend of not being able to tag this season and squeeze Zac(h)* to sub 100? time will tell.

Following on from this, I have run the numbers in the trade thread and from the 1500 (guesstimate) BF supercoaches, 95% have traded in the below:

Love me some good old GrOuP ThInK. What could possibly go wrong? I will be keeping my eye open on the ROUND 10 TRADE thread early Saturday evening just encase anything goes wrong with The CHAD (PS: I am all aboard the group think and have welcomed them both in).

Finally to what I think is Match of the Round. Two absolute dire sides in need of a win. A little boost to their season. From an SC perspective, Richmond have one of the easier Ruck match ups going. But will Flynn even make it on plane? Do Richmond kick the ball to the forward line enough for Maric to score those juicy points? Surely we start looking at TT, very consistent from an SC perspective.

I have also perused the ownership changes and this is very important to remember. Rule number 1; don't go chasing points of players you don't have. Cash is king. Minus the two above the fourth most traded in, is the one and only King Max. Now we all know Jiska sleeps in a racing car bed, with Max Gawn sheets and shrine on his bedside table but do you need to be dropping $687k on him? Blowing up your whole team to generate a few extra points? me thinks not, but you do you.

I have waffled enough, but here are a few voodoo rituals I will be performing tonight on the following players for the weekend:

If you need anyone else voodoo'd out for this weekend, just let me know Ill add them to the list.

Best of luck and look forward to the rage trade thread opening up.

Love your work delivering on your promise iDon

So not a lot of confidence in Erasmus, then?
Suppose he is cheap and gets one guaranteed ok price rise if he's not the sub.
Dudley non-sub scores generally actually decent but he's Fonti price level.
Be brave to just jump straight on Kiddie Coleperson
Lorenz went ok, bits I saw, but Kenny loves bringing Boak and co back out of the nursing home when the air gets thin.
More questions than answers, tbh

 

[gutsroy]

Busslinger apparently in the 22. But been torpedoed a touch already, tbh

I’d say he should play a good chunk of footy. Our four healthy tall backs are Lobb, Buss, Khamis, and JOD. Khamis and JOD can both swing forward and I expect they rotate through the third tall role throughout Darcy’s injury. Buss slots neatly into Jones’ spot.

No good if he is sub tho. Bevo is a campaigner

And playing in slippery Darwin may not help either.

 

[Scythe]

Rumour floating around that Shiel has a concussion from a Tsatas tackle (if there is such a thing) at training.

One way to hold your spot, I suppose

[Test Tickle]

So Willie IN and now OUT?

We're now the RDO on opposition team's calendars (again). The speed of this fall from grace has been quite remarkable lol

Probably a fair decision.
Not sure the hawks need to play all they kpd's the usually do.

Newton said 9.8m/s2, Melbourne said hold my beer!

I think it was maybe a mix of the Dogs been cautious with him (ie he was sore from first game) and no obvious match up for him v Port. I think he stays in the team for a bit, certainly while Jones is out.

FWIW I'm likely to bring him in this week.

 

[TasSixer]

Between Buss and Fonti for me, really just about who's JS is better

Yeah, was enjoying if it might have been venue/ matchup.
Have to have a think (not that that will help lol)

 

[tigland]

this would only be because Melbourne don't have anyone over 163cm in the forward line.

 

[SavDog23]

Somebody convince me to not trade this Zorko campaigner out of my team.
