I do find it interesting that people are trying to fade Gawn already, given that his first half was fantastic.

Has there been any consideration into the fact it was extremely humid in Sydney? It was upwards of 89% humidity last night, whereas in Melbourne, it was about 65%.

About 95% of the players looked like their jerseys had been glued to their body after the game.

If we remember last year, Laird dropped a 50 in extreme weather conditions in the first round. Then, he dropped a 147 the next round.

I'm not really worried about this and I think too much stock has been put into that second half disaster class.
Not trying to fade him i think grundy is now the better option out of the two.
If you pick them you have to stick with them and i think english in 20 ppg better than gawn.

Grundy seems the type to lift himself for a revenge game and cruise through after that.

I'd still back Gawn to beat him by 10 ppg over the course of the season.

I tend to believe Gawn and his being crook excuse, honestly the amount he was sweating and the way he faded match up very nicely with the story.

Also the way he played in the preseason, he demanded to play out the game and was flying.
