Cousins going ok to be named in the squad, only other rookie is Fitz and he's a completely different set of circumstances

he might not make the 26 but he looks to be another great rookie selection
 
I'm that excited to see Jaeger Friday night

I'm looking forward to the 45-second clip of fleet-footed Jeager moves with Move Like Jagger playing in the background.
 
This game is only shown on Foxtel yeah?
I thought all preseason games were free on the AFL Live app?? They are free on the AFL Global Pass for those that are living overseas. You still have to register using a credit card, just make sure you cancel before March 23rd I think...

Been hanging to see this new Hawks outfit. The return of Roughy is the icing, get excited!

Looking forward to seeing Roughead returning back to footy and how our forward-line goes with two genuine marking key position forwards. Something that we didn't have last season.
Except I don't agree that Rough is or ever has been a "genuine" marking target, and definitely not contested marking target.

For a man his size, he doesn't grab the ball with authority as much as he should. He tends to body and try and tap to himself with one hand, or position for a chest mark. Strangely enough on the odd occasion when he DOES try and grab it hard, his grip seems like a vice. Go figure.

Can't wait to see the big fella back. Part of me wishes his first game back was a H&A game so that when he dobs his first goal against the B&*%ers, the crowd and players could legitimately bads&&t crazy. It will be watered down by the pre-season games.

Apparently free for Telstra customers. I just tried logging in and opened the account. But beware I think only free till 15 Mar.

He's still an elite forward target which is a more apt description, if the ball was going to him or Hawkins, a stronger mark who stays in the forward line more, I know who's more likely to get a positive result.

I agree he's not a great contested Mark. But most of the guys who are, offer little else. But he presents well on the lead and take a lot of marks on his chest. Which indicates his timing and excelleration are very good.
