Ok, I'll take Duncan and Tuohy, then.

Neither can defend

 

[Seeds]

Neale can and does lead and crash packs. Hawk can't anymore and his ruckwork has tapered off.

Its the only thing that puts him above hawkins and he doesnt do it well. He is just better then hawkins at it (which is a low bar)

Neale is the future. He turned 22 last week. He was in the 100m GF sprint. I stood near him at quarter time at Port Melbourne and he is big. What do you expect from a late 2nd round pick. He takes a big defender and they can’t leave him as he is quick. Hawk can’t jump and is slow.
But it wouldn’t surprise me if Scott is conservative and plays Hawk in the finals.

Himmelberg out for the crows

 

[Mr Meow]

He is the only mid who is unable to effectively play any other position so makes sense he would be part of the discussion I would have thought

Not sure if you're aware but your post essentially confirmed his point.

True, but he has updside that Hawk does not have now.

Wonder if there'll be more after the Bulldogs win last night snuffed out any chance the Crows had of making finals.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

No way the club picks Neale over Hawkins, can't do him dirty like that, not in his last season. They'll pray Hawk comes good and ride it out I reckon.

Really depends on the ruck I think. Hawk can't 2nd ruck.

Top 30 for average goals kicked this year and half our fans seem to want him delisted.

 

[Gunf]

Neale right now is playing better and offering more than Hawkins was before the injury.

Couple that with the fact Hawk is obviously going downhill fairly quickly this year whilst Neale is improving and the answer to whether Hawk comes in is obvious.

Would be nice if Hawkins took the call out of Scott's hands and ruled himself out unless he monsters a VFL game or 2.

 

[Generalissimo]

I feel like Hawkins's finals experience and 360 games worth of shrewdness will get him the nod if it's otherwise a tough call between him and Neale.

 

[crows dude]

Himmelberg out for the crows

He was dropped Thursday night. They worked out they cannot play Tex, Fog, Thilthorpe and him.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Enjoy the game.

Thank you, five years since I’ve been to Geelong, which I love. Very excited this morning

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Go Cats. Hope you have good time at the game tomorrow. I’m going with my Dad. I have a feeling we will win.

Thanks, lovely you’re going with your Dad. My Dad took me to VFL in NSW from 3yo

 

[AndyMac05]

Hi all. Having some issues transferring tickets for this game from my parents to myself? Ticketmaster continues to present with error messages, can’t call the club and nobody is present at the ground. Anyone have any suggestions on where to go to resolve this? Thanks in advance

Game Day - RD 21 Geelong V Crows Sat Aug 3 2024 435pm @ KP

if we are serious about September or at least having something to do in September we need to win this and well. However, to get the win we need to move past the Stengle situation and flog the Crows - but they'll have words to say about that. I get Atkins back in - solid MF presence and adds...

Shouldn’t underestimate the fact that it is quite likely he doesn’t get right in time anyway. Rehab of feet are very unpredictable as we have seen with Guthrie (and Hawkins).

I am not giving it much thought until Hawkins is actually really close to coming back. For now it is simply the scratcher show and I want him to do well

Whilst our midfield is some what pedestrian like and clearances aren't good, crows dude your one of three ins include Crouch....no inside/outside mix to change it up or all one paced ?
