Best 22 for Round 0. 2025.

[StillAtLarge]

Clubs generally give one or two kids who've been training the house down over summer a spot in the first game or two... wouldn't surprise me if it takes 'til round 3 or 4 to resemble something like our best 22

Impey Barrass Dimma
Scrim Battle Weddle
Finn Newk Mass
Moore Gunston CMac
Ginni Chol Sicily
Meek Day Worps
Nash Wiz Amon Frenchie
Bruest

Frost out based on his limited preseason and Calsher due to injury. Bruest in due to likely number of ground balls, particularly with scrappy nature of the Round 1 games.

Would go for the bigger body of Finn and play Dimma back to cover their small/mid sized forwards.

I don’t think any of our 2024 draftees will get a sniff for a while. There’s also a heap of competition for spots; so I imagine we hit round one at full strength. We have a couple in their second and third preseason who will take a spot based on its merits though.

17 on field ?! Sam trying a new system

17 on field ?! Sam trying a new system

It's a puzzle.

You have to guess the mystery player !

 

[kirbatron]

whoops. fixed it.

 

[FB19]

Given his illness? He was sick for like a week. Hardly rules him out for the OR.

No it doesn’t but it sets him back and he was already in a battle to make the team anyway. Not saying he can’t just my opinion that everything needed to go right for him to start R0 I think Mackenzie is in front of him.

 

[Roddy]

Been following the mighty Hawkers since the early 70s, I'm not sure I've ever seen such versatility/flexibility in a Hawk side. These are the players I feel can be considered 'swingmen', ie blokes who can swing into a different role/area on the field than they're normally associated with comfortably, and contribute: Weds, Battle, Sic, Dimma, Gunners, Chol, Nash, Moore, and I'm probably missing a couple.

It's really quite phenomenal.

What's the go with Dear? Never seen a timeline on return


Personally I like Sicily back and put forward for emergencies but if Dear and Lewis are out for a while, Gunston must play unless Reeves has learnt how to use his size
