Ins & Outs: Prelim Final vs Captain Collapse's Crew

[cosmicr]

What time are the teams normally announced anyways?

usually 5pm, but they get until 7pm.

The way I see it, if we can't beat St. Kilda without Cooney, it's unlikely we'll beat Collingwood or Geelong with Cooney.

So your saying the saints aren't that good? I agree they are not as good as Geelong who they beat two weeks ago

 

[always right]

Hooper is out for Morris.

no I think what he meant was one man does not make the team (however it helps).

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Just the one change?

Just the one change?

Not sure.

When has he taken a strong mark lately and he's struggled this year with his set shots for goal. Sure he was good around the contests against Sydney in the 2nd half but what did he do as a forward? He struggled in the forward line and my guess is they would have played through his man at every opportunity as usual. I'd gladly choose Hill, Everitt or Hooper over Hahn everyday of the week.

Just seems people are looking at Hahn's past rather then what he can do now the MC included.

Hahn gave more then Hooper against Sydney. Terrible first half, some important touches in the second half. Still was far from good but was better then Hooper (understandably so)

Gulp....looks like I was wrong. Mind you it might not be the only change

Obviously the MC agree with me which would have to be the first mind you. Just question his role in the team at least I know what Hooper's is and he can do it. I'm shocked they actually did it, good on them.

That would be it for Hahn one would think!

Every week we get smashed by the oppositions half backs because our forwards' lack of pressure. How do we stop this?

 

[dogzrule]

I really find Hahn being dropped as strange, all season Eade has stuck to the tried and trusted but now Hooper and Addision have taken the mantle from a 10 year veteran in a prelim ???

I agree it is the way forward by the way but why now ? Eade has even admitted not giving Hooper a game in the home and away a mistake ?

Forgive the intrusion, but what has happened to Mitch Hahn?
I haven't caught many dogs games this year, but from my memory he was essentially your barometer up forward bringing the pill to ground for your smaller forwards and had a huge presence with defensive pressure.
What happened to cause him to become a defender in the first place, as this could be one of the reasons for a drop in forward tackling and defensive pressure.

Good luck for Saturday night- nothing would make me happier than the Saints missing out on another premiership.

Talk that Hahn will be a late inclusion for Hooper.

 

[always right]

Talk that Hahn will be a late inclusion for Hooper.

Even stronger talk that Hill will come in for Hooper.

 

[boydsno1]

Either way Hooper may miss for one of them. Both hill and Hahn offer something we need. We need hills scoring power and aierial threat but we also need hahns defensive pressure and bullocking work. Depends on what sort of style the MC will plan for.

 

[cosmicr]

things are about to change...

I'd be happy with Hill or Everitt, be disappointed if Hahn was to come in. Hooper will be a bit lucky if he stays in.

 

[Bazzas Lovechild]

What do you know? Don't be coy.

LATE CHANGE:

In: Mitch "The Bulldozer" Hahn
Out: Andrew Hooper

How predictable.

 

[dogwatch]

Bugger.
All I can say is Hahn better play a blinder otherwise I'm tearing up my ...

... Valentine Card for Rodney Eade.

Rocket might have bet his career on this late change. Hope he's right!

Nope. They got cold feet.

That would be it for Hahn one would think!

Nope. In fact I'm starting to think we'll see him again in 2011.

Talk that Hahn will be a late inclusion for Hooper.

On the money Boydy.
