Preview Round 10, 2021: Carlton v Hawthorn, 22 May 2021, 1.45pm @ MCG

[MrPremiership]

Don't think Dimma is good enough at AFL level to be a quality forward. Needs to be elite in at least two or more of speed, endurance, contested mark or tricks and he's not.

He's such a good small, lockdown defender. He's underrated I think as its not a glamorous role, but he's young and already a lock for best 22. Must be first name on the teamsheet

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

I was able to get my ticket a few days ago without having to pay?

So you missed all the fun of sucking balls

 

[Dewnior]

Against my better judgement, I'm getting excited for the game on Saturday.

He's elite one on one and is an incredible kick, no reason he couldnt make it as a small forward.

Get excited every week and ride the bumps with a grin.

We are in a time of excitement and patience while traversing the unknown. Expectation comes later.

First they ignore you.

Then they laugh at you.

You saw your moment and you took it haha

 

[Mrzohs]

The Reeves and Greaves show.

The inclusion of Greaves is surley the match committee saying we got it wrong at the start of the season. Was hot at the end of last year and had a solid preseason, now coming in off reasonable form almost half way thru the season. I Have been calling for some time the inclusion of a lock down defender or older midfield to be pushed back. Happy none the less and give credit to them for trying new tthings.

ps - I would love to be a fly on the wall and see who had the loudest input over the inclusions this week.

 

[lethalselbow]

Eleven players 23 and under named.

Defenders:
Jiath (21)
Greaves (21)
Scrimshaw (22)

Midfielders:
Morrison (22)
Worpel (22)
Cousins (23)

Ruck:
Reeves (22)

Forwards:
Lewis (22)
Hanrahan (22)
Koschitzke (20)
Moore (21)

I wish Clarko would play the kids....

 

[WWSD]

Plus we have Will Day, Jeka, Downie, Brockman, DGB, Morris, Mitchall, Saunders and Fin - so that's 20 under 23 on the list. We just need time.

You can add Bramble to that mix as well. He’s not far off from returning.

 

[Brishawk]

Smash them hawks. **** Carlton.

There just wasn’t a spot for Greaves at the start of the year, and his form in the 2s hasn’t been that hot. But with Burgoyne and Day long term injuries, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for him to come in. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Greaves has been so-so at Box Hill. Bit of a surprise call up really.

Uncontracted at the end of this year. Needs to make it count this week.

I could be wrong, but it seems to be similar to last year where his call up was seemingly a test to see if he is worthy of a run in the big time. A test that he passed with flying colours last year when he got his time. See how he goes this time around. Good luck to him.

 

[bigmaxi]

Kos, Jiath, Scrim and Worpel are the 4 I have the most hope for on that list.

I have hope for all of them....Hawks Players Matter.

 

[TylerDurden]

Does Dimma get Betts? He was one player Stratts used to own.

This is true but unlike others at Box Hill, he has shown himself capable of making an impact at AFL level in the past. Happy to see him back because based on what he offered late last year, he might be someone who can improve us

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Has to.

 

[TylerDurden]

Has to.

CJ or Greaves other options.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Regardless of the result I am really looking forward to going to the footy with my old man and two daughters tomorrow.

Been ages since I have been to a live game and I always enjoy the Hawks v Blues games (probably something to do with how often we have smashed them the last 10 years)

Going to be cracking weather as well and their is nothing better than doing that walk from Flinders Street to the MCG on a sunny afternoon.

Game wise I just want to see the team take the game on. Some fast, attractive, daring footy would be great to see.
