Preview Round 23 v Hawthorn MCG Sunday 18th August 3.20pm

[Stigmata]

imagine we win and allow carltoon a finals spot

And then the Eagles beat Carlton

 

[LTT]

[15] Jayden Short,[43] Jacob Bauer, [49] Kaleb Smith,[5] Jack Ross,[51] Jacob Blight


I reckon Ross for Dow. Blight for Ryan. Shuffle Balta fwd.

Three kids in. Three kids out. Same old under performing experienced players still in. Genius!

 

[sabso]

Kosi gonna kick 7

Bauer starts Macca benched. Ralphsmith on the wing now. Small positives

 

[Noidnadroj]

The ONLY reason I’d excuse Macca getting selected is if he’s delisted end of 2024 and he knows these 2 x games are the end of his career.

But if Macca goes on and continues to get games ahead of giving our youth more experience I’ll be furious !

Fook the scum … I never want those campaigners anywhere near a premiership or a win for that matter … vile campaigners !!!!

 

[LTT]

Drop Miller instead of Smith ffs

Firstly, Balta is a much better defender than Miller but as forwards the difference is not as great. Secondly Hawks don’t have a big key forward for Miller to shutdown. Thirdly letting Sicily free rein in our forward line will be disastrous. The solution, play Miller as a defensive forward and Balta back. This would be something different so probably won’t happen.

Blight, Ross and Coulthard in for Ryan, Smith and Dow.

Happy with those changes. Think that means every player on the list that has been available has played a game bar the snackpack?

Just about, Fawcett is I guess available now but wouldn't be anywhere near ready. OHB is the only other that could conceivably get a game.

Colina was out the entire year, Gray got injured pretty quick and Judson was out before the year began. We have absolutely given every possible player a chance this year.

 

[El Tigre]

Blight to get 36 possessions. Would be best on ground but we loose by 106 points, so awarded to random hawks player.

 

[Wooden Robot]

i would almost want to give up pick 1 to end these campaigners' final hopes. The media would melt as their narrative falls apart.

Buy yourself a Tatts ticket.
Better chance of winning $10m.

K-Mac strikes me as the sort of guy who knows full well he is cooked and will likely call it a day.
I’d be surprised if he doesn’t announce next week that the Suns clash will be his last.
I get the inkling he will want to go out on his own terms.

I'm expecting you to be furious.

That makes zero sense ... if he ain't playing next year his playing now is taking games away from another players development

Dusty, Grigg and Caddy did it right ... when you are done ... get the faaark out of the way

I think they might see HRS as a bit of a marking target perhaps, something we don't have a lot of. But still, the best season by a wingman for us in a long time.

We need a marking target on the wing!

... going up in both intensity and game time from 3/4 at VFL level is a mistake ...

Should be sub ...

 

[Grechy]

Why is McAuliffe not playing? Our best young prospect as a mid right now. Lose more faith in this coach every week.

And Dave Astbury.

At least he had some VFL time before they brought him back.

He is no JGTI

Sicily loves to float and do as he pleases. Great idea to have someone play as a stopper on him, but Miller is too slow.

I agree, Mac has always carried himself like a professional.
He's had his time and it's coming to the end.
with respect and gratitude, hoping for that call in the next 2 weeks.

McIntosh?

 

[The_Kraken]

McIntosh?

Ha! No. I see KMac as more a traditional, nippy rover type.
