Unofficial Preview Round 1, 2023: Hawthorn v Essendon, MCG 3.20pm March 19th

[badgrill]

Any word on what song the club will be playing pre-match?

Now hopes that we would one day use stronger by Ye have been dashed, something like Fly again by Turnstile would be fitting.

no doubt Thunderstruck or that other song that starts with bells and always gets me excited that For Whom the Bell Tolls is going to come on but then doesn't and I sit down again...

but that's just me

The funniest thing about that story is that Travis Cloke is coaching at Essendon.

Talk about a brains trust.

Far out, anything by Turnstile would probably result in me rushing the field like it's one of their live shows. What an energy rush.

He actually wanted to coach for us but just sprayed it way off to the left.

 

[hawkman]

How much intel does Cloke bring back… this looks much more like message then having a squizz

Based on his experience, Kosi looks like an accurate kick for goal

Pick your 4 and sub out of that bench

Pick your 4 and sub out of that bench

Do I pick who I want? Or who it will be ?

They picked their underdone blokes. Heppell, Tippa etc.

 

[Yuley95]

Pick your 4 and sub out of that bench

Reeves, Ward, Hardwick, McDonald and... Nash as sub

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

I/C: N.Reeves 7 C.Nash 11 J.Ward 25 N.Long 27 B.Hardwick 15 C.Macdonald 31 T.Brockman 33 J.Scrimshaw 14

The bolded players will likely make up the the Gameday interchange, with either Macdonald or Nash being the substitute.

 

[Hodginator]

Reeves, Ward, Hardwick, McDonald and... Nash as sub

Exactly this.

 

[HedgeFund]

Meek starts as our # 1 ruck

Love it.

 

[Mojo]

Bit surprised not to see Butler on the extended interchange but have Brockman.

Hardwick not getting a start is interesting.

Looking forward to seeing how Meek, Greene, Amon and Mackenzie go though. I think Meek will make a big change to our midfield success.

Sam said that when he played the sub was a lively high half flowered like Luke Bruest. Think it's C Mac unless they like the versatility of Nash.

Bramble being so highly rated he's not even on the extended bench is a bit of a surprise, honestly.

 

[Blackhawk42]

CMac highlighted by Sicily during the week on radio. Would be stunned if he wasn't selected, especially after his performance against Collingwood.

He's on the wing?

 

[KermitJagger]

He's on the wing?

Am I missing something here?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[madhawksfan]

Baffled that CMac and Ward are on the bench and Bramble is starting. Thought both of those lads outperformed Lachlan across the preseason games. Think CMac might be the sub with Scrim, Tyler and Long missing out.

Will need goals from a few of our mids. Defence looks solid. Worps and Amon need to lead the way in the middle. Nervously optimistic.

 

[KermitJagger]

Newcombe, Blanck, Bramble and Greene all taken from Box Hill and all starting 22. Pretty good pipeline we've got going there.

 

[Delecate Des]

The funniest thing about that story is that Travis Cloke is coaching at Essendon.

Talk about a brains trust.

Pretty smart move by Brad Scott, sent big Trav to Waverly Gardens Shopping Centre to buy a left handed hammer and some rainbow paint. Trav got lost, but remember his dad playing at Waverly Park. He was then distracted by the cakes at the coffee shop and settled in for a big morning.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I like seeing Brockman on the extended bench. Must be ticking all the boxes.
