I really hope we don't try to use Casboult or McKay (or anyone else) as ruck. If Lobbe is up to it, being him in. Or even TDK for a taste of senior footy.

Other than that, I hope Byrne is good to go this week. Want to see him with a few games of continuity.

Wasn't part of the reason to bring lobbe in was as a backup ruck?

If he doesn't play this week what was the point.

Mitchell could quite possibly rack up 50 possessions in this game.

And not one of them to hurt!

He had 43 last week and they got pumped!

Help reach the TPP floor and as SOS said last night. A short term VFL player to help the young guys in the lower levels.

So there’s two reasons he was brought across

Seagull.

Seagull.

Nah....
He doesn’t see the game unfold the way great players do, or put his teammates into opportune positions.
Watch us play them last year,Jaeger touched the ball 10 times,but they hurt you on the scoreboard almost certainly every time or result in positive outcomes.
He can get the ball yes,just doesn’t know the game or see it the way others do!
He’ll be the most ineffectual chaz winner perhaps in history,or 2nd after Woewoddin in his drugged up year!

If he gets 50 possies well get 45 in return.

Kudos to those who are attending this week. Imagine this could get very ugly

I dont this will be ugly.

It will be a regulation 20 point loss.

...that's why I mentioned him. I just don't know what his actual injury status is.

 

[The Toad]

Don't be surprised if we give them a good run for their money freaks. Will be a lot closer than people think.

Trust me.

 

[ESKIE]

Sis & I are going

 

[RudyBlue]

Trust me.

How?!

After all the lies

Trust me.

You are amphibious how can you be trusted.

 

[Aphrodite]

Sis & I are going

I'll be there as well Esky.

Trust me.

Too much algae

 

[Bluezer]

Great, with Sicily out all we’ll hear about is how brave the Hawks were, winning with their incredibly long injury list...

Great, with Sicily out all we’ll hear about is how brave the Hawks were, winning with their incredibly depleted injury list...

 

[Ahuitzotl]

I'll be there as well Esky.

Me too...

 

[AB_Blue]

Wouldn’t mind ending the Hawks season 2 years running #justsaying

Trust me.

Sounds eerily similar to the majority of people of the pre game saints board.

 

[cfc4life]

Unfortunately I'm at the point this season where I can't realistically believe that we have any chance in any game. So now it's just about effort and those little glimpses of future stardom from the likes of Paddy/Charlie/Fish etc. Hope SPS has a big one, he needs it.

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

In the blink of an eye 2019 will be upon us. This whole closing up shop and going home for the arvo is the wrong attitude.
For us 2019 has already begun. We need to use NOW as a head start into next year. Bolts asked the players for a more cavalier approach last week and it was an over correction and it ulitimately back fired but I admire what he was trying to do.
The only part of this that is in the lap of the gods is the injury list. I'm hoping we can get a bit of a break on that front for the remainder of the season. We are screaming out for some synergy and balance and I'm hoping Bolts can start putting that puzzle back together with what's left in the season. These are practice matches now. So much can be learned and gained.

As for the hawks.
I wanna see a quarter by quarter approach in this game. These last few weeks we've had the quarter from hell that's killed us.
Turnovers and skill errors by the dozen in a gift wrapped basket home delivered to the opposition. No more gifts.
If we can stem the errors and the tide and stay in the game, that'd be a plus.

Brain : Hawks by 32.
Heart : Blues by 3.

Do it for SOS who stuck his neck out this week in the Media and showed the footy community what spirit is all about.

Great, with Sicily out Lamb's dropped.

 

[Aphrodite]

Here's Emily .......

Nine day break should hopefully recharge some batteries

Boys will have had a 22-day break by the time we face the Hawks
