Preview NAB Cup - Round 1. Hawthorn v North Melbourne v Richmond. Etihad Stadium 17th Feb 6:45pm.

[Silent Hawk]

" All 34 players named in the squad can be used over the course of the two matches."

So we could see all 34 players play at some stage of the night!

 

[Furn]

Squad of 34 means 12 to be cut, so it could still end up a fairy young side.

Only 5 will be cut.

For these nab games 18+6interchange+2subs+3emergencies that can play the 2nd game.

So 29 all up.

EDIT just saw above post. Rules must have changed from last year.

From...http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4742/newsid/128969/default.aspx

Line-ups are trimmed from 34 to 22 ahead of each round-robin match, allowing for 18 players on the field, two interchange players and two substitutes. All 34 players named in the squad can be used over the course of the two matches.

[under achievers]

That is a sensible rule change from last year. It was a little unfair allowing one team to use more players than the other two.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Would love to see two starting teams of something like:

Game 1
FB: Kelly - Boumann - Guerra
HB: Puopolo - Gibson - Birchall
Ce: Smith - Mitchell - Young
HF: Lewis - Franklin - Wanganeen
FF: Hodge - McCauley - Breust

Ru: Bailey
RR: Shiels
Ro: Woodward

Game 2
FB: Litherland - Schoey - Suckling
HB: Murphy - Stratton - Burgoyne
Ce: Bateman - Hodge - Savage
HF: Whitecross - Gunston - Hill
FF: Rioli - Bailey - Lewis

Ru: McCauley
RR: Sewell
Ro: Schneider

You guys have indeed named a very strong squad, looking forward tio it.

 

[Roddy]

So we don't get entry to these NAB games with our membership? That's pretty stingey!

 

[Symons]

Is Cheney injured?

Your membership covers the home and away season. It's no different to getting your own tickets to finals.

Should be entertaining to see all the new guys running around. You would think the old guys will just be getting a run in, I'd expect to see some senior midfielders on flanks and in pockets. And the young guys will be trying to push for selection.

It's nice this year that we don't have to go and play on a potato field somewhere if we lose. Our next games are at Aurora and Etihad regardless, so we can concentrate on whatever it is we want to achieve out of these games.

Why no Cheney???

 

[Neville Bartos]

Why no Cheney???

Oh will somebody please think of the Cheney?

 

[Brishawk]

Why no Cheney???

If you are talking about this guy, he is retired. He was a dick anyway

 

[tigerfan11]

Who's in the marking contest about 1/3 of the way through the video. Schoenmakers and....?

 

[badboybobba]

Looks like Macauley and Lowden to me. Don't think thats the Shoe.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Yea on a second inspection I'm not sure who either of those guys are. Thought one may have been Grimley but yea, no idea haha.

 

[dermott]

Certainly looks like Lowden taking the mark. Not sure about the other guy which probably means it is Macaulay as he looks a bit taller than the Shoe.

Dont like the fact that Rioli is wearing bright boots. Last thing you want is Rioli advertising he is about to run you down. Unobtrusive and by stealth Cyril!

If I was playing I would have those boots in my periphery as a matter of course if he was anywhere near me. Would be a whole lot worse if I had no idea he was on my hammer.

Just a small 1 percenter I know.

Could wear the Kakoda jumper all year?

 

[Great 2008]

Can we get permission from the AFL?

Camo boots as well. The games more fun to watch when they dont' know he's coming.

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

When was the last time that all of the latest national draft recruits were available for selection for the first game of the season?

 

[Great 2008]

I all these boys ending up playing AFL it would be and amazing recruiting effort considering the compromised nature of the draft. Heres wishing them all the best tonight. Cant wait. Foreshore Tavern Lauderdale better have the coldies ready.

 

[bungholes_premiers]
