Opinion RD1: VC/C Selections

[Ironhawk]

Probably Grundy to Gawn, boring I know, but Danger might be another decent option if I do start two cheap rucks. He usually does well against the Crows (Ave 127.1).

I almost certainly won't have a loophole but if I do it would be either Grundy (if picked) or Macrae (will be picked) into Gawn/Neale (if I pick either) or Merrett if I don't.

As my team currently sits I think it would be Macrae into Merrett but again no loop likely so probably just back Macrae in.

 

[BarginHunter]

Gawn into Zerrett, now just need a loophole? Flynn if he doesnt play?

Flynn is debuting. Was announced by GWS yesterday.

damn, looks like im going back to Grundy into Gawn, safest bet i reckon

 

[TigerTime]

Dusty into either Macrae or Zerrett

 

[Leroy]

Not sure if I'd actually be brave enough to do it but thinking about it now, with nothing on the line, I feel so confident in Gawn against a rookie ruck (or an underdone ruck) that I'd be tempted to try an all-in play at VC on Short or Daniel. I'd probably only do it if I go down the Flynn R2 route but if you really wanted to test the effect of the new rules...

I'm going something like Short into Gawn just for the fun.

That way I only have to worry about picking a donut if Short scores 150 or something

 

[Herbie66]

I didn't think we needed a VC/C thread for the first 6 rounds as Gawn was automatically scoring 150+ for the first 6 rounds in any case ? 🤔

Cripps or Macrae - > Gawn

[Philzsay]

Gawn into a floating donut on the line of my best scoring E.

 

[Diabolical]

Gawn into a floating donut on the line of my best scoring E.

What is your plan if Gawn scores 119?
