Discussion 2025 Opening Round Discussion

[stevebbb]

Day has been teasing to be a genuine superstar since the end of 2023, it was going to happen sooner or later. He's always had great SC/AF point ratio too. This doesn't change the tag risk, the injury concerns, and the early bye.

BRB just trading in Day, Meek and Moore.

Sheesh did not expect Meek to look this good.

Contested marks, kicked a snag, smashing Grundy around the ball.

Meek is a bloody unit. Great age, so much room for growth. If he didn't have that damn early bye, he'd be locked in for a lot of people.

All I can say is Trainor better get a gig next week otherwise we are in deep shit rookie wise down back.

 

[stevebbb]

Yes yes, I know I'm Mr Pessimism with rookies, but if we don't get Paton and Sheldrick, it's looking bleak. I'm struggling to fill my rookie spots.

 

[Raveneyes]

Day IN, Rozee OUT

 

[Jiska]

Matty 21 from 4 @ 100%

 

[Deliverance]

Yeah, I've seen enough

 

[A Bit Dusty]

FFS was hoping Day would drop around a 100 so I'd be able to sneak him in without everyone getting on board

He will only be around 100 at Halftime...

 

[True Blue Saint]

Day M2 I've seen enough

I'm glad we're getting a free look at Sheldrick. I hope he scores 100+ tonight and fools a lot of people into locking him in. He can accumulate the ball quite well, but there is a lot to his game that coaches would grill him for.

Paton is fine. On track for 56 after butchering it in a nervous start for a kid playing in a match between two finalists. The expectation of rookies scoring tons is nuts.

 

[Jiska]

In fact, Paton going at 100%. Those howlers didn’t count at possies. Even better.

He'd struggle guarding grass at this rate !!

 

[Jiska]

Why do Hawthorn even need a clash jumper anyway? It’s not like gold and brown stripes clashes with the Swan’s jumper.

'Cept he's not a kid.

More than enough AFL experience for that to not be an excuse

 

[stevebbb]

Where's the round 1 trades thread?

 

[Makeshift Park]

Paton's still not scoring, but he's looking a little bit more like a defender this quarter

I don't want my defenders to defend. I want chips

 

[Ed_Gein]

Day's stocks rising by the minute. He looks great out there tonight.

 

[Silky23]

Forget Will Day, I'm going Newc.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Ginnivan and Watson, what a pair.

 

[Ingy]

Awwww sheet
