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

[Mojo]

Finn will most likely go to Merrett. If not Merrett, Martin. Those are 2 dangerous ones at Essendon

This.

Take out the captain (head) and the wiggly tapeworm that is the Essendon Football Club is easily extracted by the doctor performing the deworming operation.

 

[Bardo State]

Broken collarbone...

******* devastating.

I wanted some niggle or strain. Can't take any joy in something like that. Rotten thing to happen just before round one.

 

[TylerDurden]

Broken collarbone...

******* devastating.

Feel for him mate. Don't wish ill upon anyone.

 

[HedgeFund]

Nope

I see what Greene brings
I don’t see anything in Denver

Greene is 25 years old.
Denver is 20 years old.

I can't help you with your lack of vision.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Broken collarbone...

******* devastating.

That's a nasty injury.

Rotton luck for anyone so close to the first game of the season, poor bugger.

 

[HedgeFund]

According to the most recent episode on the Hawks Insiders, one of the listeners sent in footage of Scrimshaw moving very gingerly at training. The hosts were bemused as to why he hasn't been put on the injury list as it was apparent by the footage he wasn't moving fluidly.

Yep.

I have kinda been getting at that for a while........but apparently that's not the done thing.....?

 

[bigmaxi]

Not one who knows much about Essendons list, who plays FF? Anyone shed a light on this for me?

 

[toomanysquibs]

Nope

I see what Greene brings
I don’t see anything in Denver

Does that include when Greene was delisted at the Dogs, or does this only work with players after they've been given a second shot?

Sam Weiderman who they traded in from Melbourne.

Possibly Harrison Jones who dominated against us down in Tassie two years ago.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Huge loss for the Dons. Got to feel for 2MP, I hate it when players get injured. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery for his own sake.

For us though, this loss is huge. It certainly evens up things in the KPF stakes, given we are missing Lewis.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He won’t play.

 

[PT Bar None]

Shocking luck for 2MP. I 'member going to Suns games seasons back scouting him as a potential trade. My key takeaway was that you defend him by defending those kicking to him, so that balls are delivered outside his sphere of influence which effectively nullified him. Don't need to worry about that Sunday now! Always thought he was a good bit of business for *.


Regarding the blue swimmer, I know we love a bit of roasted crab here, but we have made him look good the last couple of time we played *. Hoping for no more of that!

 

[badgrill]

He won’t play.

that is such shitty luck & timing

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Greene is 25 years old.

Isn't lack of vision

There just isn't any

 

[Brishawk]

In what world would McGrath be a concern?

Be afraid of the claw!

 

[killerspud]

In what world would McGrath be a concern?

In a very sideways crab kind of world McGrath is devastating

 

[WireHawk]

In what world would McGrath be a concern?

Glenn McGrath at Lords would be a concern for the Poms.

 

[Siri]

But .... I really wanted to see our best defender on their best forward!

Am I doing this right?

 

[Coach Killer]

Fancy Reeves, Ward, CMac & Hardwick to make the 22.

Scrimma if fit the sub.

Would love to see Brocky in the team. The kid is a jet, we need to get him in somehow, perhaps sub.

 

[Dewnior]

Nope

I see what Greene brings
I don’t see anything in Denver

Did you see what Greene brought 3-4 years ago? That's the comparison you should be making if any at all.

 

[lethalselbow]

Dodo to become extinct

 

[Mitchell Madness]

That doesn't leave them with much tall stock. Becoming real damger time now

 

[TylerDurden]

That doesn't leave them with much tall stock. Becoming real damger time now

Weideman has a fantastic record against us, as does Jones. I wouldn't be taking their talls lightly.

[Bugs1977]

Weideman has a fantastic record against us, as does Jones. I wouldn't be taking their talls lightly.

This is kind of true. IMO they've been made to look good because they we're playing alongside better players (ie 2MP, Gawn, Petracca). Let's see how the forward combo of Weideman and Jones goes eh.
