Preview 2015 Grand Final: Hawthorn v West Coast Eagles - Gunston IN, Hartung OUT

[AboveUsOnlySky]

Clarkson will view this without emotion or sentiment. Gunston in. Shoey out. Langford in. Hartung out. Sub - either Langford or Poppy.

My prediction;

Result - Hawks by 8 goals
Norm Smith - Roughead
Why Roughead - 6 goals. Have watched the last 4 games and he is just warming into it

Oh how that would be lovely, 8 goals. Yes thanks.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Yet we all know, this club just has that knack of bringing in the cattle to do the job. A quality which is the envy of the comp.

I think it's obvious.

If Gunner passes the fitness test he will come in for Shoe.

Langford will not come in unless there is an injury we don't know about.

I feel sick thinking about who might get dropped

 

[KINGBUDDY]

cant be too tall as west coast run the ball out very quickly from there defence. Gunston in shoe out. Need to be swtiched on so we can power to glory......

 

[MC_9]

SEN just reported that they have heard "whispers" that is Hartung out and Gunston in.

 

[crazywildhorse]

It would be highly surprising if Langford plays. His disposal in his last few games has been terrible - more likely to hit an opponent than a teammate.

Priddis Langford kick to kick

 

[Hawthorn United]

SEN just reported that they have heard "whispers" that is Hartung out and Gunston in.

Came in here to post that too.

Not too sure dropping the extra run is wise on a warm day, but I'll back what the club does.

Doubt SEN would have heard anything. My guess is thats just the most likely scenario, so they are saying they've heard something. Then when it happens they can say they have inside knowledge.

 

[crazywildhorse]

If Hartung gets dropped, Schoenmakers, Gunston and Roughead will take turns moving up the wings. All 3 of them are athletic enough. Roughead would be handy around the stoppages to help counteract the palm tree demi-god.

Pretty sure I heard clarko last year say that he picks the best 22 and then then picks the best 21 and the sub is the odd man out, with that in mind you would assume hartung for jack. If we lost hartung as sub I don't think it really hurts us cause I don't think he can win his own footy yet and can't really see him winning us the game but I could see him coming on and kicking some junk time goals

 

[Flukey!]

I could live with Billy missing out.
His career is just beginning and he should get other opportunities.

 

[Pessimistic]

Hartung for one will be pleased to see the back of the sub vest.

Had he played full rotations this year, his value would be more evident. Hes really not far off

 

[Pessimistic]

Therell be one player on in the emergencies tonight who will be a red hot chance to be in by game time.

 

[Badesumofu]

Yeah, all three are capable as playing as outside mids for periods. Roughy can play as a big bodied inside mid as well. It could work. And talls stay tall while runners slow down in the heat.

 

[LindaCresLove]

28 and mostly sunny is the current forecast. That should be no issue. Feeling pretty confident.

My only reservation, is: having been at the 1987 GF, a warm day is going to make me feel decidedly uncomfortable.

I now understand that the result wasn't due to the heat, but pretty much because Dremie went into the game injured.
(lesson to be learnt there)

If Tucky comes out after half time in the short sleeves, hit the panic button !!

 

[Jackooh]

A few people calling for suckling as sub, I don't see it happening.. I think he had his best game all year last week and he did a couple of pressure acts which isn't his forte.. No idea who it will be as sub as doc played out of his skin aswell but we have the best coach in the comp... #trustinclarko

 

[Baz_hawk]

I think Hartung is our best sub option. Who is sub if he doesn't play?

 

[Hawks1523]

Hartung out for Gunners according to de stoop

Dunstall injured, Dermie cooked...playing 4 finals to 2 and playing against a cheque book side. Its amazing we only lost that GF by 5 goals

 

[Chubberson]

Hell will freeze over before Poppy starts as sub, you want that manic pressure in there from the get go. Can't wait to see the team.

 

[Brishawk]

It would be highly surprising if Langford plays. His disposal in his last few games has been terrible - more likely to hit an opponent than a teammate.

Only way I see Langford playing is if we want to tag shuey and gafe.

You would think Mitch and Priddis will be going head to head.
Shiels on Shuey with Gaff v Smith on the wing.

 

[The Lemon]

Hartung out. I'm fine with that

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Gunner In, Billy out

My concern is he could inject pace late...when we might need it.
