Preview Cats V Hawks Sat Jul6 435 pm @ KP

[CatToTheFuture]

If he is played in his right position he will show a fair bit. I just hope hes not sub again.

Well I guess we'll see

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Don't mind those changes but kinda hoped Henry might come back via the VFL

Part of me wanted to send Henry to the vfl for a couple of stints on the wing for development with Clohesy in as sub

 

[Gavin Excell]

Well I guess we'll see

Controversial comments

 

[Heckler]

Felt Cats changed focus after losses to Swans and Blues.
Wondered if the Don's win flipped back, Future to Finals.
O.Henry Mannagh for Clark MOC signals stay on course.
Scott's slow and steady transition to youth is on track
Neal, Knevitt, Humphries earned another game on merit.
Performance based selection encourages and motivates.
Play well and you earn a game, underperform and miss
This is fair to both Senior Cats and hopeful Kittens.
AFL and VFL players now have something to play for.
Cats building form at business end of season is exciting.

 

[TEDDY24INC]

I just had a quick look back at the first quarter of the VFL GF and he played high half forward pushing up to the contest basically the same as last week. Apart from 1 late against Port Melbourne I'm not sure I've seen him take a centre bounce. I don't really get why you're convinced he's a midfielder.

Personally I'd give Dempsey some centre square time if one of them has to go in there because he dominated VFL last year the times he played inside mid and I'm pretty sure that's where he'll end up.

Dempsey in a couple of years will be a star mid, has Connor Rozee progression written all over him. Might even be better once puts on the size

 

[bulletproof]

Bews looms as a late in for Duncan to sit on one of those dangerous small forwards I reckon.

 

[catempire]

Knevitt or Humfries will be sub.

Let the melts begin

Knevitt one of the more obvious sub choices in memory here.

 

[numbwombat]

Good ins but that midfield looks a bit thin, need big games from a couple of Dempsey/Knevitt/Mannagh/Bowes.

If we can get inside 50 cleanly, could see Stengle or Henry having a big day without Sicily there. Neale’s first big bag?

 

[year of the cat]

Viewing the Hawks team I think it would be prudent for Stanley to come in for Duncan or Tuohy. Gives us the option of playing SDK on one of their tall forwards.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Knevitt one of the more obvious sub choices in memory here.

Don't rate the idea of tagging a winger?

 

[Footy Smarts]

Good ins but that midfield looks a bit thin, need big games from a couple of Dempsey/Knevitt/Mannagh/Bowes.

Bowes is such a barometer. He's been good in all the wins he's played in. 5 good games for 5 wins. 2 ok games for 1 close win and 1 close loss. 3 terrible games for 3 bad losses.

We have to find a way to get him performing consistently.

[Goggin Our Best]

Chol is in very good form , Lewis comes back in after a spell , Gunston with Meek to rest forward as well?
Fearful we can't cover that many talls and one will get off the chain...........................

He is and he is a big bloke , poor J Henry he plays on a giant every week

 

[And_ROOS]

Mannagh in? We are a Hardie inclusion away from this sub forum imploding.

 

[year of the cat]

Clohesy in will see the hinges completely blown off the proverbial forum doors.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Clohesy in will see the hinges completely blown off the proverbial forum doors.

I am ready to ask everyone if they were born in a barn for the next year

 

[Burtyl78]

Bews looms as a late in for Duncan to sit on one of those dangerous small forwards I reckon.

Bews is done, Scott and him don’t get along, clickity click

 

[feelinfeline]

O'Connor omitted, not managed, and not even emergency is a big statement, perhaps the biggest statement of the year by the MC.

Oh, and O Henry sub for mine. At his worst, he's barely competitive. He needs to earn his place in the team.

 

[calder_daddy]

Knevitt one of the more obvious sub choices in memory here.

I think it’s only him or Mannagh to be honest
I personally don’t think it will be Humpries or Henry

 

[year of the cat]

I think it’s only him or Mannagh to be honest

Could be Tuohy for management reasons.

 

[foxdog50]

I think it’s only him or Mannagh to be honest
I personally don’t think it will be Humpries or Henry

Going for the meat tray, I think it will be Henry

 

[CHAWKTS]

I will reserve all melting until I see the sub vest. Henry the logical choice

On BF, no one ever gives up their right to melt…

 

[CatRiot]

Good selections this week... should be a good game

 

[Mr Meow]

Garry was critical in the 2022 QF win v Pies that set up our flag
Won't hear a bad word

"The Great" Gary Rohan secured that premiership in the only final that had any kind of threat. Club legend for that alone, but a decent third tall overall anyway.

 

[bruce lindner]

I like Knevitt starting as defensive insurance. And Ollie Henry the sub for team balance.
