Preview Changes v Hawthorn - Marvel Stadium, Sun 21 April 4:00pm

[Rod Stroker]

Wardlaws "break" has been coming for a while.
But all it says is the club knows they've got issues in the middle with 3 attacking minded players who cant play anywhere else on the ground.

bit harsh on George. He's an animal tackler. Agree on LDU and Powell though.

 

[Rod Stroker]

If Wardlaw is not injured (and he probably has some ailment), then dropping him and Hugh, arguably our 2 biggest goers, may come back to haunt us.

Yeh? Is there? I think thats rather disrespectful to lightweight hard footballers like Boomer in their day? How hard was boomer hit when he was a 70kg kid winning a EJ whitten medal? … have a spell son, would boomer go to hospital because he copped a whack? FMD i can name many many other lightweight players that aren’t soft. Im not going to but I can s**t all over that pick better than people shitting on Will Phillips at pick 3. Just tread carefully

Without knowing what happened it is hard to judge. Is very odd situation though, and hard not to think soft. Benefit of the doubt from me though.

What were your reservations with the pick? I didn't really want mxkercher or duursma tbh - but our picks didn't allow us not to take mckercher at least.

Been obvious he's tired/sore for a few weeks. Should have had last week off for mine.

Thread's taken a very bizarre turn.

Is it a full moon tonight?

For some of us, it's a full moon every night

Im not willing to say any more. Ive said enough. I’ll give the kid a chance, actually i’ll give him years to prove it and really hope he is a gun player for us and plays 300, wins a normy. I didn’t like it And thats it

 

[Frank Thring]

Wardlaw has been playing like his sore. Lost his zip so I think it's a good move giving him the week off.

 

[Horizons_00]

Had a feeling Wardlaw would be rested
He looks cooked

I can’t wait to see W.Phil play
Come on show something

 

[amaz199]

We still talking about Wardlaw's hammies? He has been working his arse off every week.

He was cooked. Needed to be managed.

 

[tazaa]

Could Wardlaw also play the small forward role? Mid/small forward?

Would hit the pack at speed, hard to tackle and create havoc.

Once he gets truly match fit and can up is minutes, I'd hope he could do something like this.

Been thinking about this.
LDU and Powell have been tried outside of the centre and were terrible.
LDU wasting away on a flank has only been bettered by Powell wasting away on a flank.
So if we do need to add strings to bows and flexibility then Georgey may be the one we can trial up front.

One day

To paraphrase the Pretenders…
“
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
You've (We’ve) changed, your (our) place in this world (league)
You've (We’ve) changed, your (our) place in this world (league).”

 

[Caracas]

He is a ******* rake. He’s a drovers dog, all dick n bones. You think he’s a monster? LOL come on. He’d have a 28 inch waist

… which makes him a far bigger danger to you McKercher’s ribs. All elbows, knees and swinging dick. A monster would have just laid him out.

other than the win, WillPhill having a good game is the thing I’m hoping most for.

I mentioned I wasn’t engaging any more on the topic.

 

[TheKanga]

Hawks supporters seem confident
I don't think their list is anything special we have them on talent.

It's just a matter of if we know how to win/effort.

 

[northbergs]

Archer, Greenwood and Wardlaw named as emergencies. Archer and Greenwood playing in the 2s, not Wardlaw. Is it odd that Wardlaw is game day emergency if he’s being managed?

Yeh being managed means he needs a rest, a week off. He’s the most intensive young player in the comp.

He's ok to play if we need him to, but they'd prefer he has a break. If he is a late inclusion, they could make him the sub.

All speculation, of course.

 

[Sphynx]

Wardlaw rest is for his knee which he tweaked at training about 3 weeks ago.

Sweet, suffering mother of God!

 

[giantroo]

So the Hawks pulled Ramsden and CJ before the VFL game. Possible late change?

CJ hasn’t played any footy has he? Be a big call to throw a bloke with no footy under his belt into the AFL.

But saying that we are the perfect team to take that gamble on and he usually torches us.

Well we are paying $3.00 so i doubt its just hawks supporters that are bullish.

Doubt it

CJ due to soreness thus delayed his first game back from injury

Ramsden would be the gameday emergency

Like wardlaw is for us
