Preview R20: Changes vs. Hawthorn

[ClaudeCurlsCrow]

Curtin has had two very good games in the centre in the SANFL. Time for him.
Curtin in for Dawson Inj
Borlase comes in for Butts inj
Tex in for Berg (unlucky)

Interesting line up

I wouldn't have Nankervis playing back pocket... should put Bond there.
Nank should be either HBF or Wing.
Murphy..... urghhh.... can we replace him with Jones?

two good points. Updated my team.

 

[bigman]

Murray training today and looked fine

No Murphy I think and also Pedlar smith Himmelberg butts dawson

A number of boys looked sore

Very light run

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Who captains this week? Keays? ROB? Surely not Smith

Keays .. stand out leader at moment . Fog would be my next guy

Any hints with Curtin coming in?

 

[Rabish Binney]

Curtin?

I reckon the Hawks played their GF on Saturday and might be a bit off this week.

I sincerely hope so.....but I cant help thinking we will get pumped.

 

[Dewy006]

Whoever stands Watson better practice going low. The bloke loves a duck free kick.

So does Soligo, glass houses and all that

 

[Geoffa32]

Curtin has to play.

No Dawson or Butts, two potential roles for him.


If he doesn't play this week, the club should start negotiations with WCE for their first round pick.

Curtin to replace ..... BUTTS..... no thank you.

 

[OccamsRazorRay]

We have to get Curtin in somehow.

There's just no way that I can see where he genuinely comes in.

The only way I see that happening is if Nankervis comes out, or if Bond goes out and they pulled Michalanney back and push Curtin forward a little. Nank's stats don't show it, but IMO he has elite composure under pressure, and seems to find really good options out of our D50. It would be unlucky if he came out. If they see Bond doing a job on one of the Hawks small forward then highly doubtful he comes out either

Smith for starters even though it's unlikely that's a role I'd be reasonably confident Curtin could handle.

Why the hell not?

Has played the last 7 SANFL games in a row. Whats he gonna learn from playing with SANFL scrubs for the 6 weeks?

had said previous regarding fitness. Apparently his view is that there's a difference between being fit enough to play and being fit enough to perform. Now, I know this is exceedingly obvious, but it is still something that our club hasn't cottoned onto. Hopefully with Smith this week, it finally dawns on them and he's not nursed through a classic AFC style senior player fitness test.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Out: Smith, Murphy, Butts, Dawson, Hberg
In: Ryan, Curtin, Borlase, Tex, Jones (sub)

That's the dream. Reality is Smith & Murphy likely survive, Ryan and Jones miss. If Curtin misses we may as well trade him

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Would love to see Murray jnr get a game.

Why? Playing in midfield in 2s, is a bigger body, has been our best the last 2 weeks. A midfielder that is a bigger body is out. Can rotate through half back with Max / Laird. Its the perfect opportunity to play him

Forget about Curtin coming in because Matt Crouch

Why do you feel the need to post crap like this, sounds like Matt has attacked his rehab like the professional he is, maybe give him some credit for a change. How do you read he'll be up for AFL selection this week from that article?

Because Darren Burgess said it in the video

Because Darren Burgess said it in the video

You don't believe that he'll come straight into the AFL?

“Matt has continued running while in rehab and if he is given surgical clearance, can resume contact training and work towards being available in coming weeks which is a welcome boost for the team.”

 

[1970crow]

Would love to see Murray jnr get a game.

With Tex returning and TT and Fog unlikely to miss, I can't see how young Murray could get a game.

Effing great, rush Crouch back to join in with Laird and their midfield combo again. Season is dust, what is the point in him pushing to get back before the end of they year and play maybe 1 or 2 meaningless games. Better to get his minutes into the younger kids pushing up. He'll be back in the side round 1 2025 anyway.

“Matt has continued running while in rehab and if he is given surgical clearance, can resume contact training and work towards being available in coming weeks which is a welcome boost for the team.”

He's missed 7 weeks, our captain is out concussed, Burgess said he might be available for selection this week, it's a must win home match to keep our slim mathematical chance alive

Yes I think there's a very good chance he will come straight back into the AFL side
