Expecting a Xerri ton today with no Naitanui.

Way to put the mocker on him 😎

I think the appeal with Grundy (over Gawn) is that Grundy has a monopoly over the ruck position.

21/24 centre bounce attendances, 29 hitouts, (Kreuger had 0, Cameron had 1)
compared to Gawn
16/26 centre bounce attendances, 18 hitouts (Jackson had 16, McDonald had 1)

It's going to be tough for Gawn to be a top 3-4 ruck when he's in a ruck share (arguably this was known before the season, but it seems more prevalent than some were hoping)

If Darcy wasn't injured in the preseason Gawn wouldn't have been picked ahead of him, he was the fall back "safe" option.

Jeez, what happened to Port? Caught the Essendon regression bug.

I would comment, but I am an Adelaide supporter.

Maybe Hawthorn are better than some people expect?

Hawks just wanted it more from what I saw and were putting a fair bit of pressure on Port. Not sure Port coped well with a team not just chipping it around as a lot of teams do.

Hawks rarely lack heart and effort - unfortunately. Used to be the same thing you could say about my club but... etc.

Looked absolutely cooked, could barely run much beyond half time. Plus fumbles and Jackson almost took more of the ruck duties to the naked eye (stats will probably say otherwise).

Was apparently hot and humid, he looked ill to be honest

Long Term Covid ??

1839/16+C. Xerri, Steele, Coniglio, Whitfield, Brodie and Short to come. Cautiously optimistic...

 

[Socrates2]

It's interesting with people talking about trading Gawn out , Grundy certainly didn't look real special yesterday.

I guess it is a case of how much you want Heeney and seeing how your players perform today.

Yes Heeney and Cripps look really good but their long term record is not that good.

Are people fielding Brodie or Hayes today?

I am torn

Brodie

I went Hayes as he has always been a high scorer before AFL but it's a close call imo as Brodie will be playing some midfield time.

That means you should certainly comment!

15/1761 v.c Macrae. Hoping for 2300-2350

Field Hayes over Rachell's score yeah?

I would, yes.

 

[Rumbler]

Jackson Nelson injured during the warm-up. 14 changes now. We're in so much trouble

Today's a pretty big day in terms of next week trades. I'm already keen to move Gov and Berry, although Berry was much better later in the game I thought but doesn't get involved enough for me to score consistently so I'd take my chance with a Stephens at a much cheaper price.

Really need Brodie and Xerri to show me something so I can hold these guys.

Skinner and Sinn - going early on these 2 is a massive risk IMO but defender rookies are limited so hopefully better for the run and will watch again next week.

Still thinking rookie adjustments in Stephens and Rachelle - If Zerrett is out I may even just move Berry to Caldwell and grab one of Stephens/Rachelle - probably Stephens.

I was hoping to trade in Skinner or Sinn this week. Didn't see end of game, fan footy said skinner pushed forward in last quarter. He started on Mitch Lewis. Not sure I would go early. Sinn didn't use the ball well hurts him.
