Changes v Hawks

[Mr Reliable]

I'll drop to the floor and curl up in a ball if he plays again this week...interesting my family and I believe he has some damaging photo's of Clarko and hence his insistance that Murphy plays...honestly, this bloke is your play through man, make sure you isolate him one out and off you go...

He's quite the stumblebum isn't he?

 

[The Other Dean]

I think Warren may have something to say about that.

If Corey plays instead, I'm confident he can cover Warren in this area. With interest.

 

[The Kipster]

We'll isolate him on Hale and they can have a competition as to who can fall over first!

Murphy will win that, he is an outstanding 'fall guy' who can make the most uncomplicated task look hard...90kg of ordinary, don't worry about that

 

[r_boy]

Swear to god how many games in the rain must we play in? It's getting ridiculous.

 

[mark73]

IN-Garlett, Jones, Greenwood
OUT-Hale, Harding, Wright

I'd give Warren another week. It wasn't entirely all his fault. Tempted to drop Thompson and McMahon but I don't see suitable replacements. Besides they're both good players who will come good.

B-Rawlings, Grima, Thompson
HB-Firrito, Hansen, McMahon
C-Wells, Swallow, Bastinac
HF-Warren, McIntosh, Anthony
F-Jones, Edwards, Garlett
R-Goldstein, Ziebell, Harvey
INT-Adams, Thomas, Urquhart, Greenwood
EMER-Hale, Ross, Cunnington

 

[roos_fanatic08]

weather forecast not looking good down tassie. I'd be giving Hale a rest this week and going with a faster smaller forward set-up.

 

[Roo-boi]

Out

Hale, Harding, Thomas

In

Garlett, Greenwood, Jones

Blame the club for not being persistent enough with fixturing requests.

 

[hilly]

In: Greenwood, Garlett
Out: Wright, Harding

• Cunnington to debut against Melbourne
• Hale has done enough to play in the rain, especially given Hawthorn's backline woes
• Thomas has been ordinary but I suspect he might do something in the wet in a game like this
• Jone isn't the answer, not sure how many more last chances he'll get

 

[robaba]

Greenwood and Garlett are very good ins.
And how come Irkheart is flying under the radar not doing much. He must be the new Watt.

North Melbourne had an exciting first half against Sydney, but was disappointing after the main break. So what does it mean for coach Brad Scott when considering his options against the Hawks?

Does he focus on the positives from the opening two quarters and go with a similar line-up, or is time to promote some players from the VFL?

[RooHooDoo]

Great summary, looking at that you would think Cunnington, Garlett and Greenwood should definitely come into the side in the next couple of weeks.

Garlett, Greenwood and Smith have to be VERY close to be picked this week. Cunners will probably wait til Rd 6 now

Funny that they had to add everyone's stats from a fortnight ago because Cunnington had a quieter game on the weekend

 

[RooHooDoo]

or C. Jones!!

Jones played well, but I just dont think he is the answer to our forward line woes. I would rather give Smith a decent go and find out if he has what it takes before tarrant and petrie start to push for selection. I guess if we need to drop Warren then Jones could come in to replace him.

 

[muttley45]

watched the boys train this morning,levi appeared to train well,josh smith was in a bit of forward line match practice with hale,edwards,warren,manned up by thommo,narni,brady,and mcmahon,for mine greenwood comes in for wright or turtle,josh in if hale is dropped which i doubt,apart from that probably not too many changes,no sign of drew,matty campbell just hobbling around

 

[Groggyk]

Did you notice what they had Tarrant doing mutt?
