Game Day 2024 Round ZERO Discussion

[Max the great]

Ditto.

But apparently Gulden is a speculative pick.

He's one of the top price mids and has an early bye. How is he not speculative?
You just said you were a genius for avoiding him when others made a mistake selecting him and now you're trying to argue he's a great pick? Pump the brakes.

 

[Spacedog]

Clarry looked like he needs 2-3 months of extra steam room sessions and low calorie vegan meals.

Viney could be the beneficiary if Piggy stays high half forward

Oliver was playing midfield tonight and had 30 touches…. He was fine

 

[rocker_oz33]

Does anyone really expect Heeney to stay in the team when Parker, Adams and then Mills come back? Once they’re back Jordon will be out of the team and Heeney forward again

I don't know why plays him forward .
If you can do that he should be in the mids at least 70% of the time .

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I already hate Round-0... I had avoided all of Billings, Windsor & Gulden... While including the trio of Grundy, Jordan & Roberts. So many people getting saved after just 1 game.

I know he was the Sub, but I don't know how anyone thought that Billings' role would be a good one. He's a lead-up half-forward (an undersized one at that), not a high half-forward playing as an extra mid. Huge difference.

Love how you're putting words in my mouth... Twice. I never said I was a genius & never said Gulden was a great pick.

But anyway, say & think what you want. Let's move on.

He should be at least pushing up to stoppages like dusty does, but i don’t see how they give him much midfield time when Warner, Rowbottom, Gulden, Adams, Parker and Mills are in the side.

Yess agree.
He's a very good mark around the ground aswell.
He played on Paddy Cripps last year did it well

 

[buttox]

I'm going to give Heeney a crack I think.
I've only ever had him once and he was great until injury.
Not much to choose from up front.

you running with Naicos & Grundy or is it **** the byes

 

[buttox]

Does Zane D play RD one ?

Probably yes. Not sure about his scoring though. More down weeks than up in our forward line I suspect

 

[buttox]

you running with Naicos & Grundy or is it * the byes

Yes and yes. And yes.
I think the Early byes won't be as bad as folks think
Rookies are awesome this year Im willing to risk it I think my covers good.

Something to think about before bed time .

Jiska the smarty is technically right. Round 0...

I think everyone is over thinking the early byes.
I have 4 players out that week from 30. It's not a mid season bye n which you end up with 14 playing.
Also if I include Fisher I have 13 premos. That's one more than most teams who have loaded up on 250k spuds.
But yes you are probably right Heeney will likely get injured at some stage. I think this is a decent risk to take. Everyones being over conservative

It's only really the premo's that matter from the early bye perspective. Only getting 18 playing each of those weeks means the premium scores will carry much more weight with less players counted and lower overall scores. Im happy to get as many R0 rooks in as possible that put their hand up, for the earlier price increases.

 

[Sherman41]

Wow what a night

6/806 C

Grundy C
Heeney
Jordon
Roberts
Viney
Howes

Off to a flying start, catch me if you can Kents…….

Fk knows why they are jumping all over you. I think after the first bloke put his boot in, the others thought it safe to do so.

He's burnt me more times than hot food.
If he thrives in the role in the short term, he can value add while gaining value in monetary terms. First game he goes back to a predominately FWD role, cull and upgrade.

Thats what I'm thinking ATM

 

[Blackhawk42]

LOL at a mate of mine who took Warner out of his side at three quarter time then immediately put him back in half an hour later.
