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

[Jet_black]

Please enlighten me about how Crab came about?

I know about Pidge but he doesn’t stack up against the big Pidgeon. That was a guy who was accurate with his bowling.

the likeness in how one moves in comparison to how the other moves the ball - sideways.
pretty damning for a HBF

Thanks. I can see there is a resemblance in movement.

 

[Dewnior]

If Scrimshaw is fit, I'd prefer him as sub and not Nash

After listening to Sam's interview this morning, I've changed my mind. I reckon they'll go with Brocky as sub

[Dewnior]

That's a strong group of emergencies

 

[Hawkas1988]

Very happy with that listed side and the exact 4 I would've gone with from that initial extended bench. Can't wait for Sunday!

 

[peetoo]

Quite tall

 

[Coach Killer]

After listening to Sam's interview this morning, I've changed my mind. I reckon they'll go with Brocky as sub

Would love to see Brocky play, hope you're right.

That team can sure cover the ground!

 

[Ridingthebumps]

Anyone else nervous about Weiderman ripping us a new one like he has playing seniors or reserves for Melbourne

 

[Judd2Sewell]

How will Tassie Cryptic cope now that Nash is clearly not a lock? I need answers.

 

[MrPremiership]

He was doing it on Kurt Heatherley though wasn't he?

If he can tear up Blanck, Sicily and Frost, then good on him

Anyone know when they will name the sub? I assume they select that role from the four listed emergencies?

Also all I will say about Scrimmers not being named in the side is that the players selected would want to put in a decent effort this week as that is a quality player who is not getting a spot.

 

[Dewnior]

Get Ronked by Weideman?

Yeah, I hope not.

 

[Dewnior]

If he can tear up Blanck, Sicily and Frost, then good on him

Not if he can't back it up every week

 

[TDS7]

If I had to guess, Frenchy took CMac1s spot at half forward to lock in his debut, but will probably come on off the bench.

This is the team I was hoping for, it looks like Sam wants two dedicated wingers with Bramble and Amon. Once Morrison is back I think Bramble gets left off, until then they seme to see the wing as an important part of our system and fundamental knowledge of the position will be required to run out there, not just as a rest spot for mids.

Yep that's why we grabbed Weddle , a dedicated winger hopefully he reaches the heights of Issy.

 

[TheFourPillars]

The team shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone. The competition for spots is hot just the way it should be. Loving it. Looking forward to Sunday. Hopefully a few nerves early and the we r away for 2023. Lets run them off their feet

Nash is ....

 

[TDS7]

Meek > Newk > Day > CMac1/2> Ferg > Goal for the first play please.

 

[KermitJagger]

Nash likely the sub. With how Mitchell spoke about trying to figure out maximum impact from the sub, I'd imagine Nash's height and versatility gives him an advantage.

Reeves off, Nash on. You've got a guy who can pinch hit in the ruck, be a decoy forward and with a massive tank. Interesting to see how it'll go.

It’s not box hill oval

Maybe for now. The best hawks teams have had 3 runners in the 22

 

[TDS7]

Maybe for now. The best hawks teams have had 3 runners in the 22

Day and Ward can fill a bit of that role for now, and Weddle coming in provides that third, more defensive wing that could really unleash Amon. I think Bramble is great depth, but nothing more.
