Game Day 2024 Round ZERO Discussion

Gawn is the elephant in the room. Looks old and slow. What to do...

Would not read anything into it with this game.

He looked a million dollars in the practice game against Carlton.

He plays better on the bigger ground.

It is really hot

 

[Makeshift Park]

It is really hot

Really? I live an hour south of Sydney, and its quite mild outside. Maybe about 20 degrees.

 

[SavDog23]

Gawn never scored great when Grundy also played last year so we won't have to worry about it again this season

 

[Nelso]

He has been this game.

Basically figured out this cheat code where he spends 3/4s of the centre bounces half ignoring the ball and running straight over to block Gawn's path, and its worked.

And Grundy's looked a lot more lively around the ground.

This new ruck rule at the centre bounce is a joke.

No incentive for either ruckman to jump. All they need to do is block each other's path to the ball.

Wonder how many people are going to be sucked in by Heeney's score...

 

[Ljam]

Probably me he always gets me Heeney

This was the thing I was really looking out for tonight. Even if Gawn dominated the ruck, if ground level Grundy was back that would have been enough for me to be confident in the pick

This is just a bonus

Going off what I have read, maybe I linking humidity with being hot.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Everyone putting Jordan back in now kenties?

It's hot in here I'm not wearing any pants

This is the first game of the season so my initial/only concern about Gawn is how is he going to run out the season?

 

[Loose at HB]

Thank you Opening Round for saving us all from Hack Billings

Haven't considered dropping him. He'll average 80-90 for the year. Good enough at his price.

 

[doggies ftw]

Jackson to Heeney? Geez it’s a bloody trap

Another change for something that wasn’t broken.

Jackson to lose ruck time once Darcy gets back in, and Heeney to lose mid time once Parker and Adams get back in...

It's made me rethink James Harmes. I dunno

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Thank you Opening Round for saving us all from Hack Billings

I'll ok that if all of you go Hack Harmes instead.

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

Viney been good throughout the preseason carrying that form into the season proper, 130+ in a losing side.
Could he be the breakout player?

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Jackson to lose ruck time once Darcy gets back in, and Heeney to lose mid time once Parker and Adams get back in...

So your saying they are both a lock for the whole season...

 

[gutsroy]

I'm a Swans man, I've always been a glut for starting one Swans premo, so was going to make an exception here in lieu of byes. Last year was Mills which turned out a shocking pick... this year was Gulden, but I think you're right here.

Gulden is still a great option, wouldn't overanalyze tonight, but confirms for me that they are better as upgrade targets
Obvious risks and we've all been there before, but Heeney has been eye-catching.
And it's the defensive side he has showed that has been impressive.

 

[turtles]

Heeney to play midfield talked up and then never happens, the one game that doesnt actually count Longmire plays him midfield.

 

[gutsroy]

Can cross Billings off, reckon.
Was the sub, already a bad sign, and he did nothing after he was injected into the game.
Oh well.
