Apparently Ken is not going to drop Dixon

Frost getting injured did the Hawks a favour as tricked Ken to go in tall... effectively playing 1 short.

Apparently Ken is not going to drop Dixon

They are going in with four talls up forward.

We saw how well that worked for us lol.

So they have a Murphy to

 

[Crow till I die]

Port going in very tall..dixon stays in and marshall who has not played for ages back in and another mid defender is out. If the hawks win enough ball around the middle, it could be a huge belting for port coming up...they are a fast quick handball side and that port forward line will be run off their feet imo

 

[FR0GGY]

Come on rain!

 

[GameofSloanes]

4 tall forwards... we tried that too. Imagine if butters sore ribs force him out again they won't even have the option to sub one out

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

I wonder if Butters really does have Shingles

Where’s that been suggested?

 

[ABAB]

Can't beat them on balance so Hinkley has gone tall and hoping they mark everything, we tried the same and it worked for a quarter and a bit with Thilthorpe going beast mode and marking everything until we eventually got out run.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

With a top heavy forward line, no drive from the backline and a sore Butters, it's hard to mount a case for Port.

However, whenever they reach a tipping point with Ken's job on the line, they always come out with a win.

 

[Geoffa32]

There is no tipping point with Ken's job.

He said today he is contracted, going nowhere.

AFL won't allow a hand out club to sack a coach who finished second on the ladder.


Ken ain't going nowhere, unless he walks.

 

[pjcrows]

Funniest result is a narrow win, then a Prelim smashing, "but we finished Top 4 with injuries", and Ken coaches next year.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Saw it on the hawks board

 

[Crow till I die]

 

[Mr_Moogle]

That bodes well for Port.

 

[GreyCrow]

Any coach worth his pay would tell his defenders to run off the talls

Dixon cant even outrun his own shadow . Thats a net loss

Set it up and run hard with the overlap

 

[footy4ever]

OK,

GO HAWKS!!!


...too soon?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

OK,

GO HAWKS!!!


...too soon?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I reckon Maginness will be tagging JHF, it would make sense as its Ports most effective player.

I also reckon Hawks would be targeting Butters and his ribs all game

 

[jackster83]

Happy Hinkley Redemption Day all!

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Agree with both of those.

Every club had a sponsor who would pick up a fine in a final, I’m sure it still happens in
some form or another. Butters’ ribs should have there own go fund me page !

Edit : Newcombe would be the one to lay a hard body on him.

And watch the hawthorn on ballers flick the handball around to create separation and stream forward at pace and then watch their fleet of smalls run riot against a backline that is missing 3 of its best running defenders

 

[Schulzycrow]

Pear to get pumped. 8+ goals

 

[El Doederino]

Port playing shenanigans. They won't play all those talls.

How could anyone outrun their own shadow??
