Past #1: Hamish McIntosh - drafted at pick 9 in '02 ND - traded to Geelong for #36 in '12 trade period

[showusyacunningt]

Too big of a risk given the stakes. Our balance of smalls/talls has been good for the last few weeks, why mess with it?

I'm not saying Hamish can't have an impact in our current side, just this ain't the game to bring him in. He hasn't played AFL for 12mnths and the pressure this week will be especially intense.

 

[THRILLHO]

Speechless.

This.

Contemplating dropping the AA ruckman to rest him despite the fact we had a bye two weeks ago?

Even mentioning it is heresy.

 

[Shinboner Schem]

^ which is why i said i wouldn't bring H in

 

[muttley45]

FWIW, I reckon he'll be named an emergency, to keep Lyon guessing.

good call jacko

 

[coopers pale]

Personally I wouldn't play him, but, if we did:

I can see some vague merit in having McIntosh as the sub, so that when the Saints double-up on the flood, as they tend to later in games, as their midfield tires, we give them a second tall target deep (Goldie and/or Big Mac) in the forward line to contend with. That may open up space further out, around the 40m mark for the other North forwards to find room inside the flood to lead in to.

Playing a 2nd ruck as a sub seems to be a crazy new-aged idea, but could it work? It goes against conventional wisdom, but hey, I've never been accused of being wise....

Why must I be surrounded by frickin' idiots?

Interesting to see that Collingwood have gone in with both Jolly and Wood tonight.

Not as crazy as you would think. l was thinking the same thing.Hamish as sub would mean a tall being ready to come on at any time ,trying to prove himself. It would totally play havoc with the Saints plans as to when he would come on and l dont think would affect the balance of the team .l think having Hamish come on would lift the team especially when its his 100th game.

Hamish will be selected this week.

...and i'd like to congratulate him on the other 90.

I would have been more surprised if he didn't play.

Leave Cunnington out of it, this is about H.

Gets his 100 and a farewell game. Good work North.

Don't fall in to him.

Brady's farewell.

 

[LT Smash]

Needs to get through the game and prove that his achilles' are okay.

 

[Hunters Host #3]

Don't fall in to him.

Brady's farewell.

I was getting in before someone else.

I really hope Monster acquits himself well this week. We need him in 2012.

 

[MaddAdam]

Don't fall in to him.

Brady's farewell.

HMac is gone.

Jungle Drums?

Jungle Drums?

Drums, thources, common bloody sense.

 

[Groggyk]

Pretty strange to be announcing this on a Tuesday.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Are they chairing Hamish off?

 

[Teffy]

Drums, thources, common bloody sense.

I have isolated your weak point.

 

[King Corey]

Drums, thources, common bloody sense.

I hope Majak and Mabon are ready to go for round 1 2012, you've got Hamish out the door and Goldie on the virtual trading table.

If we package them up we can get a crack at the best 5yo in the country provided their parent or guardian has nominated them for the 2024 draft.

Says the bloke who told us repeatedly Shaun McKernan was in the bag.
