Discussion 2025 Opening Round Discussion

[Jiska]

Who was it earlier that called the Sydney drop off could be steep? I agree. They could really struggle this year

History.

Teams that lose a GF by 10+ goals normally miss finals the year after.

The last team it happened to was……….Sydney

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

I want an excuse to drop sheldrick.

Ok kentie.
Let's do it

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

How TF did Heeney hit the ton? He did nothing!

7 tackles

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

I've seen enough of Will Day, the chosen one

Yes

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

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.

Anything less than Barlow rookie year and they can GAGF

I'm sure it was someone in here earlier

 

[Scythe]

Paton had a lockdown role on Moore. Wicks was running up the wings and kicking to half forward.

Except Wicks was also playing that exact role on Watson (and towelled him up)

 

[Raveneyes]

Pointed toe.
Pointed toe on his non kicking leg.
Tounge out.

Thats pure secks right there.

Wish I was the ball. Daaammmn.

Yes and that tension in the muscle.

THE TENSION!

 

[South of the Yarra]

Sheldrick out for now. Wasn’t overly impressed. Will probably smash out 120 next week.

I've turfed him for Erasmus

 

[Saints4ever]

I've turfed him for Erasmus

I don’t think Erasmus is best 22.

What to do with Will Day…..
In the second quarter he got a soft freekick goal, got gifted another after being the second man to the tackle
Tagged after half time for 32 points or something.
Feel like he is still a 105-110 man max. Good for his price but do I want to change structure around etc

One of those games that just confirms how you feel about a player, positive or negative.

Those who are big on him got treated to a 150 and BOG performance, those who aren’t saw a 32 point half with some attention and an injury scare.

I think he’s a fine starting (maybe even good), but imo I don’t think his value outweighs the bye negative and overall durability concerns.

Absolute jet though.

I'd suggest checking his 3rd qtr t.o.g and heat map
Combine that with Weather conditional changes and ground size

Then make a judgement including upcoming fixture/ location

 

[iDon]

What sort of pub is this

Tbf it had 2 screens in the main but, we were just tucked in the side with a private room. She got hot and sweety. I panic'd and took Bont first round. But have a pretty solid team.

 

[stevebbb]

One rd0 game down and the only change I made was getting rid of that spud Sheldrick.

Probably only 4 SC relevant players from the Sunday match: Perryman, Daicos, Leake and Stone.

So there won't be many changes after rd0 it seems.

Carn the Pies!

Bring on rd1!

Looking forward to anti-sweating him. Played well, more will select him but how often he have 25 and kicking 3?

Will do, only saw the first half and was just going off what I read after half time on here.

 

[Lord De Goey]

He will add more goals to his game resting forward and at times in that first half he made it look easy. Incredible player but as stevebbb said he can’t handle a tag and is always prone to a knock.

I’d have to check that SuperCoach price add on to see what his price would look like if he goes 148, 110, 90,70 which might be best case. Might be a post bye upgrade when his fixture opens up, if he isn’t too expensive.

 

[Petrify]

If Will Day's 2nd half puts people off him, I am a very happy man

 

[Rash]

Im fading day, love this midfield strucure. cerra has no tag threat with cripps and walsh in the team.

He was putrid. So many times he had time and just panicked and throw it on the boot.

Won’t play

We’ve been waiting for him for years. There’s a reason he hasn’t cracked it in the four years his been on Sydney’s list. Thought this was going to be the year but he looked terrible last night. He’s 22. Sounds like a lot of unrealised potential. Reminds me a bit of Weidemen at Melb. Too good at VFL but no good at AFL.
