Riolin..........poor cat must be thirsty

Ellis looked stuffed after the win against the pies, wouldn't have been surprised if he was missing. Poo took a physical hammering as well, though he is more resilient. Could be out of Young, Ellis and Poooo for sub duties.

 

[mainehawk]

We're good to go ..............bring it on.......

Riolin..........poor cat must be thirsty

LOL it will do him good!

I have no idea how to make him move again does anybody know?

 

[marklar]

I'd prefer X-man as sub but Sav will probably get the gig again. Just wish I could afford to go to the game.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Crowbots talking no lose bullcrap is that already making excuses for a possible loss?
We didn't consider it no lose last year.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Ricciuto thinks they can win, I hope we flog the crows, that man gives me the absolute ..its. There is nothing more I would like to see, heartbroken if we lose this one.Now of course everyone on the panel want the pies to win because of the death of McCarthy, of course it is very sad,but they don't think that other young people die every day, nothing is said about them. How do they think that the parents, friends and families miss their child. So many young ones waste their lives as well, as being genuinely ill.

 

[Hawkhead#2]

Yes, a really good team and expected changes from the Pies game. I sort of like Ellis as sub...as previous poster said, he did look a little sore last game, plus he has the versatility to play in every line.

So excited for Saturday arvo...haven't been this excited since...since...since the game against Collingwood!

I love the finals and Prelims are magic games

 

[mainehawk]

Riolin...........I wish I knew how to make a pussy move !.........just joking

 

[Rioli magic]

LOL it will do him good!

I have no idea how to make him move again does anybody know?

 

[Stratton_Gun]

As expected. Keep Sav sub as he has a record of making an impact of the bench

GO HAWKS!!!

 

[Hodge is God]

I'm liking the idea as Ellis as sub.
It really should be between him or Savage for sub.

 

[mainehawk]

Who would have thunk mustard.....brilliant

 

[grizzlym]

With this talk of Adeliade bringing in a third tall forward to stretch us, I would have thought Adelaide look decidedly small down back given the talls we'll undoubtedly play up there. If one of Hale and Roughy is playing deep, with Gunston leading and Buddy on his bike, Adelaide don't look like they have the defensive options. On paper we could really expose them down back.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Savage should be the sub, play the more experienced player in Ellis. A little disappointed Murphy has been omitted because that may push Hodgey/Burgoyne into defence and i'd rather them both spend more time in the middle but i guess that's the strength of such depth at the club

Don't worry. Goo will be back for next week

Comparing all of the four teams interchange. We have every reason to be confident.

Just about all our interchange would start in any of the other teams.

A few weeks ago I was concerned that Adelaide's big bodies will cause us some grief. Then, watching them closely over the last two weeks it became apparent that, big they may be, but they can't play.

 

[In2theWild]

Ricciuto thinks they can win

Me thinks Roo might still be smarting after being retired by Buds left boot

 

[mainehawk]

Grizz.....let's face it....adelaide are caught between a rock & a hard place

Grizz.....let's face it....adelaide are caught between a rock & a hard place

Are we talking footy here?

 

[mainehawk]

^ absolutely......I think they're done & dusted.....even their coach has given up........but hey ! it's another game of footy ......

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Side as expected and looks really strong.

Sub an interesting one. Savage is more of the impact player, Ellis the more versatile. Both had really good games and, obviously with the week off, will be rested and ready. Really not sure who to go with.

 

[moginie]

Really like the team & I'm glad we went with the agressive run of Savage instead of the extra defender. Our run & spread have been a highlight this year.

I though you might have been talking about life in general re Adelaide.

I was more concerned about the tall big bodied Weagles. Even their rucks didn't hurt us either.. So pleased we flogged them..
