OUT: Dixon (Injury)

IN: Jacobs

 

[Buddy Hero]

Out: Little, Dixon
In: Thorp, Jacobs


Vandenberg and Boyle must be getting close?

[HFC082]

Out: Ellis (Inj.), Dixon, Little, Young
In: Jacobs, Thorp, Dowler, Vandenberg

Yep, i think Ossy may be ok this week.

 

[vanders]

Out: Ellis (Inj.), Dixon, Little, Young
In: Jacobs, Thorp, Dowler, Vandenberg

So you think Young is soft but you want to put Dowler in?


Changes for me would be

Out: Ellis (inj), Dixon, Little
In: Jacobs, Thorp, Tuck/Muston ... Vanders isn't match fit yet.

Vandenberg will play one more game in thre reserves. He played three quarters and was named in the best. Clarkson said he will be back in the seniors after he plays 4 quarters in the reserves.

Ellis suffered a major corked hip and will be rested next week. HAving such a light frame, he will not make it up for next week.

Little is a hack and always has been. And I know you will all say give him a chance and try back him. Been in the system far too long and shown nothing. Been far too inconsistent in the reserves sice arriving at the club. When he arrived at the club, we struggled to a win a game with a terrible forward line and he still couldn't get a game.

Unfortunately Boyle will be back after the Kangaroos. He is still 2 weeks away, which has killed us.

Dixon will be fine.

Dowler does not deserve a spot.

If they bring in a small, Travis Tuck should play.

In: Jacobs, Thorp
Out: Little, Ellis

Where is Williams at?

 

[MR K]

Williams is still a long way away. He will not play a match for AT LEAST 4-5 weeks. And when he does finally return it will be through Box Hill.

Unfortunately he's knee is not mending as quick as first expected. He has had swellen over the last couple. If he does return, it may only be Round 22 earliest, if not finals if the Hawks make it.

 

[Gary Shadforth]

Breaking news before it breaks: Clinton Young will not be dropped for Launceston.

He was one of our better players last night and as I wrote in another thread, My Man was one of few Hawks who appeared to come out to play against the Crows in Adelaide only 16 days ago.

It is a shame he can't get back a bit earlier and get some matches under his belt before the finals.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Out: Little, Ellis
In: Thorp, Jacobs/Tuck (Although tuck might get a run in front of him given the size/style of the roos forward line)

 

[macdaddio]

out: little, dixon{if injured}, ellis{ if injured},

in: thorp, jacobs, osborne

please no more thurcrap.............

 

[Upgrayedd]

Is boyle ready?
only drop players if they are injured

 

[Buddy Hero]

This is the business end of the season and its time to be playing our best possible 22 so Little should be dropped if we have a Thorp/Jacobs/Osborne ready to come back in.

 

[cradle of filth]

there has been alot of bad decision making in the past 2 weeks so i think Alister Clarkson will bring back Danny Jacobs for Sunday. However i'd much rather see somone like Travis Tuck or Brent Renouf debut.

Come on Garry, you are being bias...Young did a few good things last night, but was an absolute disgrace in contests. He had a chance to spoil Kosi in a marking contest 10 metres out from goal, but he gave up even before the ball was in Kosi's hands. There were a few other pitiful attempts when in came to contact.

Don't get me wrong, Young is an excellent player in my opinion, but has to have a hard look at himself when it comes to contested possessions....

I think you know this yourself, as you were quick to jump to his defence before anyone could have a crack. (and I was going to get on here and blast him before I read your post)

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Osborne will be at least 3 weeks away..He had a setback last week. He has been a very sick man!

There are some pretty poor figures on our players statistics this week.
Crawford only had 13 Touches!!!Not good enough Crawf!! At least Young had 23, one of the best on ground.He had the third most touches..He certainly wasn't the worst player!!We would be foolish to drop him next week. If we keep dropping players that perform poorly one week, we will never get any consistency in our team.
The only player I think isn't worth another game is Thurgood, I love his endeavour, but he is simply not up to AFL standard!

 

[mulhollanddrive]

We're not dropping Young. Same as we're not dropping Ladson (refer to the Ladson vs Young thread).

Dixon seems to get a free run from AC, so id say:

Little, Ellis
Thorp, Jacobs

Jacobs comes back in to play tall, as Brown will have Jones/Grant/Archer to deal with.

Wasn't saying he was the worst last night, just saying he cost us atleast two goals through soft attempted contests...

 

[brookers#5]

i'd say next week in terms of match ups of the kangas forwards it would be croad vs petire, gilham vs brown, brown vs jones sewell vs grant(killed him last time) ladson vs whyman, birchall maybe on grant or jones depending on weather they might deploy sewell on harvey, this leaves big hale who plays alot up forward aswell as ruck would you all think jacobs would come in for him i know his not tall enought but i cant think of anyone else.

McMahon has been a major link man up forward. Dermie commented on the radio a few weeks ago that he is playing more like a 100+ game forward than a 5 game player. He has been a major problem to opposition teams during the last month, he has kicked 2.0 (Bulldogs), 2.1 (Tigers), 1.1 (Fremantle, got a bad corky), 3.1 (Demons) and has set up a lot of goals for other forwards.

Grant plays half-forward but usually presses into the middle, leaving a bit more room up forward. He hasn't really been used as a traditional forward for a while, I think he has 2 goals from the last 6 matches.

Hale may be a hard match-up for you guys. He has been moving very well and is a decent mark and kick, at 200cm a lot of teams have issues finding someone who can legitimate spoil him.

True, Hale seems a danger man.

I'd like to see Renouf come into the team for him. Should match him for height and pace.
