Full game for Gawn?

I reckon managed minutes. Do want him to get game time but coming off an injury don't want to overdo it so close to rd1 (and with no experienced backup given Preuss is hurt for a few weeks)

Full game for Gawn?

Gawn and me speak hourly, plus I can see into the future, so I can give you a totally accurate response.

Gawn will play 71.04 percent of game time, with 91.7 percent of that as ruck.

You’ve made me look like a dick by attempting a reasonable answer

You've made me look like a nerd by giving a ridiculous one, so I guess we're all square

What's the go with Rivers? Was hoping to get a look at him this preseason.

Yeah same, actually surprised he didn’t get a run this week after a pretty impressive game last week against North, but he’s basically Hibberd’s under study, so it’s probably looked at as being one or the other

Also, assuming everyone is fit and 100 % for r1, I'd much much prefer to go with Pickett over Nibbler (if indeed it does come down to that decision). **** Nibbler. Whilst he has no doubt provided some moments of great mirth, he litters his game with utter garbage the rest of the times and makes it look like he's playing with a big bar of soap. Arguably the most frustrating player on our list. Pickett looks sharp, and nimble, and like an aggressive predator when around the ball. Give him a crack.

I’d be fine with swapping ANB for Fritsch. I’m hoping ANB gets some decent midfield opportunities this year.
Surely AVB will need a bit more game time before he comes back into the seniors? I love him but can’t help but think he is shot. I am just waiting for him to breakdown.

Theyve already came out and said AVB will be good to go and will only train 1 day a week to keep him fresh for the year.

Can this game be viewed on my genuine Panafonics TV? If so, where?

I don’t actually know what that is, Crimson

 

[Jamurp]

We we looked so shite Round 1 last season, so even though it's just a pre-season game, we really should win it in order to feel confident about this year.

Strong Agree. I've loved Nibbler ironically in the past but now he just kills me. **** Nibbla.

Spelling was wrong.............

 

[Crimson Azure]

Seems to be on Kayo.

 

[TheCount]

Seems to be on Kayo.

Isn't every game on Kayo? I'm looking at dropping Foxtel in the near future under such an assumption.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Geez it's a scrappy ordinary start to the game.

The ground looks in beautiful condition though.

 

[Bluelegs]

Horrible umpiring.

 

[Bluelegs]

Hibberd starting better this week.

 

[Crusty Demon]

OMG! Melksham!! Seriously! How can you miss that goal 15 meters out?? Horrible..

 

[Bluelegs]

Watching us actually execute a switch properly is insane.

 

[TheCount]

For anyone not watching, Cam Mooney riding the boundary just mentioned that Tomlinson's run, specifically pushing forward, was causing Hawthorn so many match up issues that they've swapped sides of the ground for Isaac Smith and $cully to help negate his height. Will be great if, on top of what he provided around the ground, he can throw the oppo's plans into disarray.

 

[TheCount]

Now we've hit both posts, can we split it and kick a goal for crying out loud.

 

[netslave]

Goal kicking not looking good...

 

[TheCount]

I choose to believe that was intentional from Gus ... because that was an excellent kick.

Despite what Garry Lyon has to say in commentary, Gus absolutely looked straight at Melk there ... that was intentional.
