Preview Round 1 2022- Hawks v Roos MCG - Sunday March 20- 1.10pm

[Passmore]

Supply is very difficult. Shipping schedules are a guide now not a schedule. Some ports on a schedule are not even being called on. Few weeks is the best any of us in the caper can guess at.

I completely understand. I'm not blaming anyone, just not expecting anything for a while.

 

[the flying ham]

My guesstimate at Sunday's team based on everything we know up until now:

FB: Ziebell, McKay, Turner
HB: Hall, Corr, McDonald
C: Polec, Simpkin, Scott/Powell
HF: Thomas, CJ, Mahony
FF: Zurhaar, Larkey, JHF
R: Goldstein, Greenwood, LDU
I/C: Xerri, Stephenson, J.Walker, Scott/Powell
Sub: Taylor
Emg: Hayden, Young, Lazzaro, Ford

Notes:

• Bolded - those who we know are playing but not usually seen as best 22 or debuts
• CJ rucks all entries in F50. When he's off, Goldy moves forward and Xerri rucks
• Sleevo on notice given pre-season form
• Powell/Scott interchangeable in terms of who is named where

Concerns:

• Are we going in too tall or can we use this to our advantage?
• Polec - has he really changed?
• Hall - is he really right to go?

Key Match-ups:

• Turner on Wingard (always hurts us)
• Greenwood on Mitchell or O'Meara? Mitchell can rack them up, but not always super damaging...
• Larkey/CJ v Frost - this could be one to really exploit in the air
• Walker vs Kozzie - athletically this could be exploited the other way
  
  

Sleeve not on notice whatsoever

We can
We will

Still Comben to come in
Possibly Edwards as Sub in case 1 goes down

Turn it up Reg, not having a 202cm sub.

 

[ferball]

I really like this lineup

Me too.

I'd swap JWalker with Taylor tho.

 

[shinboner magic]

Me too.

Yep we need more runners if we’re going 3 rucks

 

[zoomba23]

Given the recent developments concerning the lists of both teams we go up against, it will be a massive disappointment if we do not enter round 3 undefeated.

You're overrating us there. Pass mark should be 1W 1L imo

[The Nostradamus]

Walker CCJ Mahony and Powell the bench I’d assume

Lazzaro/Scott/Hayden the sub

 

[chairo]

I don't understand. The earlier video said that CCJ is to debut but we've now named Goldy and Xerri as starting. Are we playing all three? Perhaps CCJ will be the sub...but why?

 

[Flawed Genius]

Walker CCJ Mahony and Powell the bench I’d assume

Lazzaro/Scott/Hayden the sub

Yeah I would exclude Laz, Hayden, Young & Scott from that squad. Can see Laz as the sub

 

[Jasemon]

Walker CCJ Mahony and Powell the bench I’d assume

Lazzaro/Scott/Hayden the sub

100%. Would bet my house on that being the final bench. Surprised Mahoney not named in starting lineup. Very surprised.
Scott should be sub.

We’ll play all 3 ideally Comben plays instead of 1 of Goldy/xerri

Hopefully we see that change soon I want a ruthless call on Goldy it’s time to phase him out

 

[wazza03]

Noble said that it’s possible that all 3 line up so CCJ will start on the bench.
I don’t think that he’ll be named as the medi sub.

Just realised no kozi for the hawks

I would imagine that means no walker for us

I mean I kind of agree on you in regards to Goldy but he still is picked over any ruck atm.

Xerri absolutely deserves to be in though so we have good competition for spots

Before killing off Goldys career - let CJJ hit some form first

They’ll probably just play Jeka instead along with Reeves, lynch and Lewis

Maybe but I doubt it.

Jeka doesn’t seem to have done much of anything this preseason. Similar to Comben.

 

[The acurate one]

Right so in; McKay, Walkers, Xerri , Goldie, CCJ & Larkey all playing. I've a headache tbh. I cannot believe that.

sleevo trained with the Magoos. Scott is in.

Comben will play VFL which is super exciting. Anyways if he goes well he could join the other 13 man mountains in our side.

I need a rest, this could change of course but that is where it is currently at

CCJ larky as forwards.....goldy and xerri switch in ruck....either rest on bench or forward. Zurhaar gets a smaller man

Prob one on the bench at any given time. Melbourne use this structure. I think it qould work for us. We need more targets

Excited to see Xerri's work in the preseason has been deservedly rewarded.

Sleevo named on the field which usually means they make the cut for Sunday games.

I reckon Walker might miss. Named on extended bench with CCJ (who was announced today).

Even if he doesn’t there’s still Gunston also who I’d matchup with corr
Mckay on Lewis
Walker on the resting ruck

I wouldn't play walker. Mckay and corr on the tallest. Ziebs or mcdonald on the 3rd tall and play a little smaller back there.
