Grundy into Gawn.

Grundy into Gawn.

[Bones]

Macrae into Grundy - fancy Macrae against the Tiges and prefer Grundy's match up to Gawn's

 

[randomcliche]

No Gawn, so I'll take the first two. Unless I really just want Grundy, then Macrae might just miss and I'll go Oliver (C).

 

[toxic]

Macraes recent record v tigs is good

Grundy v midget gc rucks could get nasty

Max will Max

All 3 going 130+

Grundy into Gawn.

Ditto

 

[AngryAnt]

Tough one as Macrae is averaging 140 over the last 3 weeks and against a side that leaks midfield points but can't go past Grundy VC vs ruckless Suns into Gawn who usually smashes North and is averaging 141 for the whole season.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Have gone Grundy/Gawn every round so far but think I will change it up this week and go Macrae/Grundy.

 

[Spifflicator]

I honestly think that the C choice is irrelevant unless Grundy goes down injured. He should easily go 150+, but if he misses the Ziegull will have about 12 kick outs in the tassie wind, so look for another 160 from him as North try to fight their way out of the defensive 50m.

Dont curse the rest of us please!

Gawn Interstate:

2019: 130.57 from 7 (113+109+144+158+46+132+212)
2020: 133.64 from 11 (93+153+185+157+87+107+135+150+132+150+121)
2021: 163 from 1
= 131.92 from 39 (6/39 below 100, 25/39 120+, 19/39 140+, 7/39 160+)

76% of the 120+ scores by Gawn interstate have gone on to be 140+.

Gawn in Tasmania:
165 from 3 (172+111+212 (most recent))

I meant for Macrae, i dont really want to use my C unless i have to

Bonking on the head the theory that "Richmond give up big points to midfielders". Perhaps they did in the past. Below I have collected data from all the significant performances from opposition midfielders in 2021, either in terms of disposals or SC points.

RD 1

Walsh, 31d 122 SC

RD 2

Titch, 37d 109 SC

RD 3

Parker, 29d 120 SC
Mills, 31d 109 SC

RD 4

Wines, 27d 106 SC
Boak, 29d 84 SC

RD 5

Clark, 33d 113 SC

RD 6

Petracca, 38d 133 SC
Oliver, 36d 114 SC
Langdon, 32d 82 SC

While I fully expect Macrae to get 40 disposals and 145 points tonight, this is enough evidence for me to go Grundy into Gawn, rather than Macrae into Grundy. Grundy could go 160+ against a ruckless GCS.

Good take.

Richmond haven't been giving up as big points, but are still giving away plenty of disposals.

They will also now be missing Lambert and Dusty.

Hard to take a decent VC score with Grundy looming as a monster option this week.

Historically Richmond dont give up to mids, has loosened up a bit lately. great post, agree, looking at Hickey and Sweet with 64% TOG for 73, think Grundy should be decent.

Grundy or Ziebell? Failed Macrae vc
