Game Day 2024 Round ZERO Discussion

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

 

[DaveyBoy123]

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.

Mr Howes - get in my team (might even run a rookie at D6 now)

Jordon gets a pass mark - slow start but worked his way into the game - he'll have better ones

Roberts - fast start then slowed in the second half - probably done enough for a bench spot

Windsor - juries out - an okish score in the end with poor DE. might just take some time to get used to the pace of AFL but at his inflated price could take some time to generate his cash.

Laurie - no

Schache - LOL

Billings - GTFO

Windsor ....

Looked he hard a go from the easy level to expert level ..

Dees Got Hunter due back in the next month .
Maybe goes to high half forward.

What's the options .
Down to mcNeil type.
Up to Meade with pepper out .

Don’t underestimate how terrible the weather was. On par with Port Douglas in the wet season. 87% humidity. Sweat dripping off people sitting in the stands. He’ll be better on a bigger ground too.

Agreed, Grundy came off the long run up tonight after 2 frustrating years, Gawn will be fine

So good that there will be thousands dropping off him this week

 

[Jiska]

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

Would have preferred a 76 tonight. Everyone will start him now.

Some man Karen's complaining about him

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I'm so gonna change my whole team by the end of this weekend aren't I?

And no Peeney, it's not happening!

 

[TempletonTheRat]

I thought Howes and Windsor passed the eye test, both looked comfortable at the level

Windsor has some class and will become a very good player - but his disposal was poor in the practice matches as well and pressure will continue to increase as the season rolls on. When you're paying $180k you want to be pretty convinced he can pump out a 70ish average.
Pickett is back round 2 so he could become a vest risk too.

 

[Jiska]

BT thinking hes Martin Brundle in the dressing rooms..

get off my TV you flog.

Why do people watch channel 7 with ads? Surely footy mad people have ad-free BT-free Kayo?

Kosi back in rd2 also squeezes someone out

see what the other games throw up - I took Kerch out last week so he can come back for me. honey brew also an option

Surely shite truck Spago goes for Pickett .
Bill Laurie for Hunter.
Windsor goes to HF .....yeah nah

 

[Jiska]

Doubtful. Not amongst contenders anyway.

Kosi more likely to replace Laurie.

You avoided 3 speculative picks before supercoach starts and started 3 no brainers. Congrats bro

Kosi more likely to replace Laurie.

And Hunter comes in for someone.

Not saying Windsor was bad .

I guess coaches are 50/50 now

 

[timtimtim]

Grundy 138
Gawn 71

Starting Grundy & Cherry Ripe

Gawn to lose value early. Hopefully sideways after his first bye

Thank you round 0 for showing me the way

Do you guys have a running feud or something?

 

[rocker_oz33]

He's Max .
He's great ...

 

[Max the great]

Not that I'm aware of. No idea who he is.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Ditto.

But apparently Gulden is a speculative pick.

 

[Duckworthy]

DaveyBoy123 does some good work around these parts. No real need to jump from the ropes

 

[Spacedog]

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
