Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 21 vs. Hawthorn, MCG Sun 08/08 @ 2:10pm

[PyrrhicVic]

In - McInnes
Out - Bianco (rested)

Most likely no change but Trent’s due for a rest and I have a sneaky suspicion that Reef’s going to end up being the crown jewel of the 2020 class. He’s built like the prototypical modern midfielder, would love to see a debut next week or this season at the very least.

 

[Jelly Bean]

We still need to win games and advance as far up the ladder as we can to draft Nick Daicos as cheaply as we can

That's not really how it works. How much we pay for Nick isn't linked to our ladder position, it is linked to other teams' bids.

 

[Pistol Night]

we are investing in youth as quickly as feasibly possible. If mcCreery comes in then ether he’s a straight swap for Ginnivan, or maybe Bianco gets rested. We still need to win games and advance as far up the ladder as we can to draft Nick Daicos as cheaply as we can

murphy is also one of the players who might be the future. he needs time. People write our young players off so easily…..

We still need to win games as it would be so Collingwood to get done for tanking and miss out on Nick Daicos

 

[MyManLynch]

The only change…the rotating captaincy.

 

[well left]

Give wilson another chance ..club needs to make a decision on him

I don’t mind it and he at least put his hand up yesterday but who are you bringing him in for?

I can only think of Madgen or Mayne but I think it’s doubtful we drop either.

Ruscoe has taken Wilson’s opportunity IMO.

Out: Madgen
In: McInnes/Wilson

Nothing wrong with Madgen’s game but he’s not needed for structural reasons. Mayne should take his spot vacating his wing spot.

Hawks showing today this is no Gurantee Win that some think it be

Who thinks we are guaranteed? I don’t think anyone thinks that. Especially considering our lack of experience with the ground. Id almost have hawks fav simply due to that.

 

[Harry O]

Looks like Breust has joined the long list of injuries at Hawthorn.

 

[Giddy Up]

So could be a dumb question, I’m confused looking on the website, but are we allowed to travel to tassie to go to the game?

Nope

I reckon they played their Grand Final today, I think we will smash them

Anything is Possible.

Kind of Hoping they played like that for Clarko like we did for Bucks vs Dees

 

[domus]

Only 1 tackle inside 50 for the game.

McReery comes in for Thomas if fit.

Thomas was very good. Why would you think about dropping him?

 

[nahnah]

The only change I can think of is McCreery for Bianco but McCreery may need a VFL run first and Bianco redeemed his turnovers with goals

 

[Jen2310]

Nope

Yes
The border opened up the other day

 

[grayza2018]

I'm thinking similar, the way they've gone this year they could really turn the toes up next week now. Fingers crossed anyway!

 

[Good Horse]

Might be time for no change. I don't think McCreery is ready to slot straight back in, needs a run.

Could live with either of Wilson or Reef in. Maybe Bianco rested, and Wilson the medisub for Murphy.

 

[legendstatus]

One change

Grundy for Lynch, raise his trade value and Grundy plays where he belongs

In the 2’s!

[Carringbush2010]

No changes.

But if anything

Rest Bianco, and in McCreery.

Reckon Beau would've had a field day against no pressure wc!

 

[whiskeytown]

Thomas was very good. Why would you think about dropping him?

At best he’s okay... at worst he’s a (near) 30 year old spud. Bianco already surpassed him inside 10 games

The kids like Bianco, McReery, Ginnivan should be prioritised over him and Thomas delisted at years end

 

[Rebuilder]

No change.
Wilson the Sub.

 

[AmericanMustard]

Not sure how we do it but McCreery already has done enough for me simply to be best 22. I’m not sure how we find a spot for him, but I guess that’s not my problem.

It’s a touch rough but it’s probably Ginnivan, regardless get it done Robert

 

[Horaceg]

Looks like Breust has joined the long list of injuries at Hawthorn.

He's only missed 7 games in his career
