Preview Hawks vs Pies - Discussion and changes

[Glasgow Hawk]

Good question GH.
Also, if there is nothing wrong with Jack, why is he on the list?

Good question Flukey.
I guess we'll find out tonight. And then he'll be selected and then be a late withdrawal.
We'll be told he was very close to playing, but didn't quite get up and they didn't want to take the risk so close to the finals. Or something along those lines... Are we cynical, you bet we are...

Great news.

Any confirmation one way or another that we've just completed a large training block? Had a Swans mate tell me he knows someone that knows someone... blah, blah, blah.

???

Makes sense as we've been flat the last two weeks.
I hope that's exactly what has happened.
Bring on the next 7 weeks.

 

[pacman]

Dr Larkins said he'd be amazed if Hodge played this week and may even miss next one too.

How can Shiels be a test when he played for BHH last week?

Not sure to believe or not but Greg Denham on SEN said he expects both Birchall & Hodge to play.

In: Franky, Bailey, Shiels, Birch
Out: Grimley, Spang, Sewell, ?

Would be very disappointed if hill got dropped

I would suspect that it would be simpkin not because he's bad or poor form just because there are better players out of the team

 

[Cynic]

We need Hill. We can't beat Collingwood on the inside, it'll need to be the outside we get them.

 

[MagpieJoel]

I've watched enough of Sinclair to know he's VFL quality.

Key word was "recently".

 

[Cynic]

Key word was "recently".

He's more than welcome to prove me wrong but from what I've seen is he's a borderline useless lock down player with crap disposal.

Isn't Woodward back training with the main group as of a couple weeks ago? Would understand if he doesn't play again this season to be on the safe side but shouldn't he be off the injury list now?

 

[Pessimistic]

Is anyone amazed the pies seem to talking up buddy in the meeja but rough is our top scorer ?

 

[Brucie Buffer]

All remain calm if things don't go our way on Friday night. Our side will be nowhere near full strength, unlike collingwoods who is near full strength now. It should provide a very good indication of the players who want to play finals for us. Hawks by 13

This will be very probable considering I just put $on the Hawks to win by over 14.5.

He is ... and I think the coaching staff should let him play in the VFL development side before the season ends.

I guess until he is fit to play in the vfl he stays on the injury list? Only two games left in the home and away season in the vfl so unlikely he makes it back

 

[RustyHawk]

I reckon ins: Franko, Bailey, Birchall.

Outs Guerra, Spaghar, Grimley.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

I see that Gunston trained today (via Hawks twitter and Instagram). I assume he should be right to go since Doc Larkins proclaimed he would miss 3 weeks

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

I reckon ins: Franko, Bailey, Birchall.

Outs Guerra, Spaghar, Grimley.

Shiels would be closer than Birch wouldn't he, given he played last week for BHH?

 

[hawkheart]

If it's Franklin, Birchall, Hodge, Shiels and Bailey: has there ever been a better five 'ins'?
