Preview Hawks vs the COLA $wans and the man they call Juda$ - it's the big dance.

[Argy]

My pich would be suckers. He could have a real impact in the last quarter when the game is wide open and up for grabs, even a match winner.

On reflection I think that has a lot of merit.

 

[Cynic]

There is zero chance of this happening, if they do not intend on starting him as part of the 21 then he would not be playing.

It will be Suckling, Doc or Cyril, Suckling is my pick.

Rude

I stand by it. He can be subbed on early if Sydney forwards are getting on top and if he's subbed on late he can play back or forward. Either way as opposed to most KPs as a sub I'd back him to impact contests.

 

[MC_9]

If he retires would love him to have a role at the club. Top bloke

Absolutely, no question that would be available if Sewelly wanted it.

Why the hell is Lewis Jetta sucking on a dummy???

I wonder if there will be a sneaky move by Clarko re player positions. Did Langers play on Malceski last time or am I imagining that?

Lewis Jetta refers to himself as 'Jetts' so you should do the same

Simpkin killed Malceski last game

I should refer to myself as Jetts?

That's right - Simpkin did the role. He'll be annoyed then

LOL word of the year 'campaigners' - never heard the term before this season! I know it's a perjorative, but still not quite sure what it means!

Bigfooty uses a swear filter. Instead of showing the word "CLINT", it shows campaigner

IE...go get ****ed buddy you treacherous campaigner

I wonder what they substitute for 'Eastwood' then!?

Young ?

 

[Xtreme]

Sorry for my meltdown about the Cyril selection, i think it's a very very very very very risky gamble. If Cyril proves to be the match winner it will be a masterstroke. I hope that this decision is not a factor in a Hawthorn defeat.

WIN HAWTHORN!

All stems from Eddiewood calling Cornes an old campaigner I believe.

Hahahha very cute you campainer

Bottom 6 argument

Duryea
Suckling
Spangher
McEvoy
Puopolo
Langford

Don't judge me it's hard

V

Lloyd
Bird
Reid
Cunningham
Rohan
Shaw

Again hard (Not as hard though )

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Yep. But he didn't really say that

 

[threesixpio]

They say premierships are one by the bottom six players, not the top six.

I must say I find it very hard to list six "bottom" players. Maybe the bolded...

B: Gibson# Lake Birchall#
HB: Mitchell# Stratton Hodge#
C: Hill# Langford# Smith#
HF: Breust# Gunston# Lewis#
FF: McEvoy Roughead# Puopolo
Foll: Hale Shiels# Burgoyne#
Int: Rioli# Duryea Spangher# Suckling#

But holy crap, what quality!!

The #'s are guys who polled Brownlow votes. Depth people, depth.

Yep - that was my joy watching the Brownlow. Number of players getting votes (and Buddy not quite winning)

 

[rjslcM]

The players listed on the bench are the only realistic chances of being the subs and I think Suckling's game would not work well as a sub. Especially when you want to exploit tiredness is opposition players. Spangher or Duryea as a sub is somewhat pointless IMO considering they cannot add something to change the game. It's Rioli for me - and it happens at half time or not long after.

Starting sub: Rioli
Subbed off: Suckling/Spangher

PS. Get rid of this ridiculous substitute rule.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Yep our spread of votes was IMpressive.

That's where we have the chance to beat them

 

[Procrastinator35]

I prefer Syd!....

Get on McEvoy 4 the Norm Smith Medal.

 

[B&GBlood]

I went to training today and all player trained at three quarter pace. So all those saying Cyril only trained at three quarter pace do not understand the role of the training session. I assume Cyril has had a full on test earlier today behind closed doors.

The most interesting part of the session was the ruck practice. Lake was in the middle taking the hit outs!

Lake might keep Tippett company all day.
