Unofficial Preview Changes for Grand Final - West Coast v Hawthorn

[Eaglemaniac]

Looks like HUtch might be the sub if he's named on the bench..

 

[Wadsworth]

It's actually not a bad idea. Clangermakers, Gunsten, Hale, Roughead all in the F50 and if they can get enough quick supply with Rioli lurking it will be tough for our backs.

Need more rucks to be successful. Who plays 3rd or 4th ruckman?

Seriously though, I think it plays right into our hands having lots of talks and less runners. We haven't been beaten by height, we've been beaten by quick delivery over the back to an open forward line. Clog the forward line with height, I ain't scared.

May be Masten too he's on the bench as well

Yeah maybe. I think they are really going to try and get as many 1v1 as they can but if their mids can't keep up we might be ok.
I thought Hartung was stiff. He was one of their best against Freo, means one less gut runner I guess.

Very true.

 

[ep2018]

Come on Eagles, good start is needed!

 

[ioppolo]

Unchanged. Bodes well.

Dare say Hutch or Masten to sub.

 

[SpaceClef]

Really? He had 5 disposals. You're thinking of Duryea

Oopps yeah him, well **** Hartung then.

 

[SpaceClef]

Dom Sheed starting in the centre square on GF day

 

[Doughboy]

Now with Emergencies

 

[WCEswift]

A tall in for a runner on a hot day... hm

 

[SpaceClef]

Oopps yeah him, well **** Hartung then.

He is an elite runner though, but has had limited game time. They'll probably move Suckling to sub.

 

[WCErevival]

Thats a tall team by the Hawks. Where does Schoenmakers play?

 

[Wadsworth]

Yeah maybe. I think they are really going to try and get as many 1v1 as they can but if their mids can't keep up we might be ok.

Yeah, I'm sure the aim against us is to get as many 1 on 1s as possible, but that's really tough because we move as many players as possible to the most dangerous spot. What I've loved watching about the Web this year is how many times a player has taken a risk to leave a player or a space and aggressively attack a contest. Often, the intention is not to cause a turnover, but just apply pressure to a possession so that the recipient cannot take it cleanly, and that in turn allows our next defender to rotate around and hold the ball up or cause a turnover.

How many times does it look like they have an extra number running back into an open 50 arc, but we get just enough pressure to force a kick towards the pocket and it reaches the target on the bounce, allowing us enough time to cover the ground. Absolutely love watching it.

InB4 Schoenmakers spuds it up.

Hope Wellingham players on Schoenmakers...rack up lots of ball and win me some money for the Normsmith.

 

[RookiePick]

Lycett named emergency...Naita back issues...


I'll let my mild concern build up to titanic proportion by bouncedown then.

Nothing in it Named a mid forward n a tall as back up pretty standard

 

[Smeg Head]

Damn Hawks keep Schoenmakers in, actually important for their structure. I know he is widely mocked on BF but hes a good target up forward.

yeah you are right

I wish they had two Schoenamkers, one for the forward line and one for the back line!

 

[LordHaart]

As others have said where is the preview thread?

Quinz was signed up last I checked - perhaps involuntarily?

Don't fret, Rookie. Lycett was named emergency last week too - nothing to worry about.
