Game Day 2024 Round ZERO Discussion

There is nothing surer than Heeney going back to his HFF role once Parker and Adams are back

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Kingy thinks McLean is doing well.

0 disposals, 3 hit-outs & 4 free kicks against... in a half of footy!

It’s under sold just how many average decision makers Melbourne has in their side. Even some of their better players. Go through their line-up and try to find how many above average, let alone very good or elite, decision makers there are. It ain’t many IMO.
They too often get bailed out by a rock solid defense, some rolled-gold top-end talent and Gawn’s dominance. They are pretty good building blocks to be fair, but it’s rare to see a premiership side and a contender with so many average decision makers

Howes passes the eye test live. He’s a lock.

Now just a question of how to fit him in. Drop Pink, Coffield, Reid or Gibcus

Interested to see how Oliver runs the game out.
Gotta be happy with that from Jordon when you factor in how invisible he has been at times.

 

[timtimtim]

Billings sub
Jordan bruise free footy

Howe
Roberts

I’ve got a feeling all this talk of MPM and high priced rookies is a trap

Back to a more GnRs strategy I go…

Jackson F1
Rankine F2….

Everyone is. 24 degrees with 87% humidity. It’s like being in Thailand up here.

My man Hodgey is looking shiny on the TV

Windsor was also a lock this time last week.

Have been saying this for years. Was even the case in our premiership year. Putting aside May and Lever, Salem the only one. That’s why they’ve moved him up the ground. Rivers normally makes the right decision as well.

Clarry overrated IMO. Gets heaps of the ball but just bangs it on his footy without even looking.

Gibcus. Save the coin

 

[Spacedog]

Also Jordon being dropped

It's the same accusation levelled against Laird

Asterix year Covid affected that really doesnt really count unless you are a Dees supporter!

I agree but think the bigger question is if he can back up well next week

 

[Jiska]

Everyone’s a lock preseason. And most teams have had everyone

4 tackles making Jordons score somewhat redeemable. Can't rely on that every game

 

[SavDog23]

Gulden is concerning.

Might have to look at other options if he doesn't fire up this half.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Cryptic message ????

 

[gutsroy]

Yeah.
On the QT, Scoops will not be going Oliver

1995 asterisk year salary cap rorting that really doesn’t really count unless you are a Blues supporter

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Jordon doing ok. Can't complain.

Howes is a surprise. Very nice and tidy player.

Tell you what, if you think Salem and Lever are good decision makers it might be even worse than you think.
Lever’s okay when he has time, but can panic and chop it up when he doesn’t.
I posted earlier about Salem, I think his reputation as a good kick far outways the reality

Heeney luring campaigners in with a huge score, keep going son
