Preview 2018 1st Semi Final: Hawthorn v Melbourne, 14 September 2018, 7.50pm @ MCG

[MrPremiership]

It will be on a Friday night.

Brand/Mirra in for Stratts.

Big call to make on the 2nd ruck.

Boys will respond.

If you’re name isn’t Gawn or Grundy ruckman are a waste of time. As long as they compete that’s all that matters.

Exactly, that is why you only play one and definitely don’t play two when it is pissing down.

 

[TylerDurden]

I’m tipping one change. If Birch is fit, he comes in. It’s dice rolling times.

 

[Carl Spackler]

There will be no change but for injury.

 

[MinerBoy]

Does Nash hold his spot next week? Might be a little inexperienced at the moment.

Nope. Not ready.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Sweeping changes aren't the answer. Replace stratts and probably one more but we played a very good side in conditions that favoured them and all our guys will be better for the run.
I thought Burton, Frawley, Shiels and JOM were excellent. A shame they didn't have many mates

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

If we could kindly **** the two handed punch off when a mark will do...that would be great

Reckon you are dreaming.

Losing to the best side in the comp, isn't call for throwing out everything the side has worked for.

Or a goal from 20 metres out directly in front from our best goal shooters.

Agreed. We missed easy shots and they kicked miracles. Also, i hope the kids that got us there stay in the side. Thought Miles was crucified by not being selected.

Wouldn't have helped too much, but scoreboard pressure can do funny things to an opposition teams' mindset.

One day when a team makes their own luck and puts pressure on, Richmond will be vulnerable. It could happen from a Collingwood, who seem to match up well and pressure for long periods of time.

I said "if fit" mate.

He will be picked if fit.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Lets see how we respond, losing Stratts is a travesty though.

 

[lethalselbow]

I said "if fit" mate.

He will be picked if fit.

Off zero games? Won't be picked under any circumstances, in my opinion.

Don't you love all the ways people can use "mate"

 

[Buttonsticher]

Am I naive in thinking that Schoe was actually out because of achilles soreness? Any news from anyone with insider info. Will he be ok to come in next week?

I watched him at training on Wednesday and his achilles didn't seem to be a problem then

ok m8

 

[twentythree]

Yeah i like Miles as an in ... reckon he woulda been ok last night as he shows real composure when the heats on .... seems to be able to fire a quick handpass over the top .... quick hands will be a clever player .

Also Howe and Sicily will be better for the run .... and hopefully Worps, Hardwick, Morrison and Burton will be better after a real presure finals baptism

We looked better with a single ruckman later in the season.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Out: Nash Stratton

In: The Shoe Maker and Brand

 

[A Cut Above]

We've beaten both these teams this year, I'm confident we'll bounce back strongly. Would like to see a few senior players redeem themselves from last night.

 

[Ranj Sri Lanka]

In: Miles, Schoey, Brand

Out: Stratton, Ceglar, Nash

In: Miles, Schoey
Out: Stratton, Ceglar
I would not drop Nash. There were many who should be droped before him if it was the performance.

Yeah I tend to agree. I don't want Nash out, just don't know who will be dropped if we bring in Schoey, miles and if need another tall defender like Brand or Mirra back

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Stratts for Mirra or Brand and Nash for Schoey.

[Hawk Dork]

Brand, Miles, Shoey,TOB or Glass for Stratts
Everyone else gets another finals experience

 

[TylerDurden]

Nash laid 1 tackle last night. That’s a worry. His job would’ve been to lay at least 3-4.

Not sure we can carry that in to a cut throat final next week.
