Game Day Marsh Week 2 - Hawthorn v Melbourne - UTas Stadium - Friday March 6, 7.40pm

[TheCount]

A Friday night game? It must still be Preseason.

As far as we've heard, we can expect the addition of Gawn, May, Brayshaw and Fritsch to the squad from the game against Adelaide.

Who/What does everyone want to see from this game?

 

[00Stinger]

Is the game on radio at all?

 

[FootyGuy13]

If I'm not mistaken, this is Melbourne's first game in Launceston. It goes unnoticed with us always playing at Kardinia, Bellerive and West Coast at Perth but I don't think we've ever played Hawthorn or anyone in Launceston.

You might be right!

I remember watching us play a practice match vs Collingwood in Devonport when I was a young fella. Cant remember us playing in Launceston though.

No injuries, no suspensions.

Cohesion. inside the backline and moving from back to forward.

 

[Dory_77]

No injuries, no suspensions.

This. Plus: a bit more organisation defending, plenty of pressure in the forward half and some smarter ball movement forward.

What's wrong Petty? Anyone with an idea when he'll be back?

Im all Oscared out already, I want to view alternatives.

A groin injury apparently. So probably kiss the whole year goodbye for him.

I'm ready to give Bradtke a go at this point.

I think May will probably come in for him this week, particularly given Oscar played North as well, so he's had his 2 warm up games. Then provided May and Lever stay out there, he'd only be even considered for the sake of match ups, and even then, a Hore or a Smith playing undersized would be a better option given the versatility they provide, not to mention the definite drop in spuditude.

I talked to May at the family day. At that point he was definite that he was playing in the Marsh match v Hawthorn. Obviously any further injury, or failure to meet targets in rehab program changes that, but at the time I think he was telling the truth

 

[Fork n Hell]

does anyone know how many players we can use in this game?

I think it's still 26, if you want to.

I remember last year we only used 23-24 players in each preseason game, while in hindsight I realise that is more likely because that was all the players we had fit at the time, it does show that you can play less if you want to.

Said the same thing to me on Family Day. Didn't say it sheepishly at all, was very adamant. I believed him as well. We'll need him Round 1 as Kennedy will kick a dozen on Oscar if he doesn't. He does look super fit though and he seems front and centre in most of the training drills on the weekly doco. He seemed to have a fair say in getting Bennell over the line with us too. So if he comes good, we can throw some kudos his way too. Big season for May...

 

[AmericanAFL]

We’ll be out there competing so may as well get the W.

 

[mrmonkey]

Personally I would rather gawn miss but I guess the club knows better so if they say he's g2g then I guess it should be fine. Hopefully just keep on winning, I know it's just preseason but I think getting into winning form works best with this team.

 

[stEdy]

For how long will May get suspended for? and who will he hit?

I'd love if he took Scully out but would settle for a solid hit on Frost, just for the lols

I like frost, I'd be allright with May coming off the square 1989 style and laying out Scully.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Hope Scully does a knee. Don't care how bad that sounds. He's a dog...

Team is clear dress rehearsal for RD1. That first 18 is what I'd pick except for ANB.

Might still get a run if West Coast go with a tall forward line.
