Preview Round 10, 2023 : Hawks v Eagles, UTAS 1:10pm, Sunday 21st May

[wahawk]

But seriously, Launceston is a great place.
Love going there to watch games


That’s not a tip, so I’m not really helping you, am I ?

 

[stonehawk]

Actually heading over for this game
First time to Tassie for a game

Any tips?

Take your golf clubs - Barnbougle is worth a side trip

Hawthorn:worst offence vs WCE:worst defence in the competition. Who comes out on top

17	West Coast	9	1	0	8	615 (87.93)	1016 (149.122)	100	43	1	0	3	0	0	5	7L	-	4	60.53	18	1	0	8	4	49.95

[hawkguru]

Wingard for Brockman should be a no brainer as I can't even remember the last time chad laid a tackle.

Reeves for Morrison, it's not like for like but I prefer weddle playing on the wing as well as kozi (can't believe I'm saying this) team up with Lewis.

This would be the perfect time (maybe the only time) to bring in Ramma for Kozi but I can't see it happening unfortunately .

Just the 2 changes providing blanck is fit and please play Mitchell, Weddle and Butler for the remainder of the year.

 

[FB19]

Out: Day, Newcombe, Lewis, Sicily, Mitchell

Just to piss off the worst “journalist” in the world, we should make it a fair contest, by rank ordering the eagles list and ours and pick the players the eagles have available at their list ranked positions. Even then I think we would win by 4 goals…

 

[FB19]

We should also drop Meek.

Nash taps down to Nash who burst out of the centre. He kicks an extremely high ball, must have learnt that from TOM.......and its marked by.....Nash. He kicks..... a point......

That’s like 50 shades of grey talk to several posters here…

 

[naysayer]

• CJ surely takes another week off, playing sore is doing him no favours. Bramble ready to take his place I'd say.
• Blanck had a bad cork, so hard to tell if he'll get up or not. He might not even need replacing given Allen is essentially the Eagles only forward marking presence (who is nonetheless in good form).
• Morrison could be in the gun. If Ward is ready, then the swap should be made. If not then Long a chance.
• Chad: the time has well and truly come. His stats for the year make for sober reading, even taking the injuries into account. Brockman, MacDonald, and even Fergus Greene

  deserve a spot in the forward line ahead of this guy who has clear motivation issues. Selection must stay accountable*
• Kosi out if Reeves is back, although I really feel for Jacob, he's entered the Tim O'Brien

  cycle: forward. ruck. dropped. repeat.

IN: Bramble, Ward, MacDonald, Brockman
OUT: CJ, Blanck, Morrison, Chad

*Here's my left field proposal for Chad to stay in the team: a new challenge. Swing him behind the ball à la Lewis Jetta, Keidean Coleman. I can't keep watching him up forward.

 

[FB19]

If the guaranteed ins are Reeves Brockman, then surely Kozi and wingard go out. Sorry Chad it’s time. For me CJ has to go whether injured or not he’s just a shadow of himself and we need his full self back - playing poorly at senior level isn’t helping anyone. Scrimshaw in. If blanck doesn’t come up DGB in. I don’t think CMac comes in unless they drop Morrison or as sub. Must be difficult playing inside mid at Box Hill and half forward at senior level. Would be keen to see him get more CBAs

 

[The Chad and I]

This is the week for experimenting with the line-up for the sake of player development.

 

[kirbatron]

Driving up from Hobes with a little hawk crew. can't wait.

 

[Hawk Vision]

Hawthorn out boxhill in

 

[Braidz]

We’re generally a 4-5 better side down in Tassie. Eagles can barely field a 22.
We should win but stranger things have happened in past. If eagles had darling they may have had a chance as we struggle against two good talls.

We would be fine. Darling isn’t a good tall. He’s just a over sized witches hat in the F50

 

[MrPremiership]

Hawks by plenty

 

[hardway]

The Eagles play 10 poor minutes and the rest they are diabolical. We can field a side of Auskickers and still win. Both teams need pick 1.

 

[TylerDurden]

No coach?? Serious tanking if true lol. Come at us Barrett!!

 

[TylerDurden]

Could be a good game for Stephens to play, for mine.

 

[westhawk]

We would be fine. Darling isn’t a good tall. He’s just a over sized witches hat in the F50

Don’t have to worry about Darling, broke his arm on the weekend.

 

[SSSSSS]

Need to find a way to use Day on the outside more. He's getting close to a 50/50 split for contested/uncontested ball.

 

[badgrill]

Don’t have to worry about Darling, broke his arm on the weekend.

the number of players out they have, they may need to play him in the goalsquare anyway

 

[thehardway]

It was noticeable last week that we needed another tall up forward to support Lewis. Bring in Ramsden to play as a KPF. He's in great form and takes pressure off Lewis.

 

[SSSSSS]

This is our game to try shit out and see what happens.

Might be good for the back 6 to have a mental reset. Chuck Sicily up forward for a half. Chuck Frost up forward for a half.

Throw some magnets around.

YOLO

 

[burner1]

Where are the goals coming from?

Barass was dominant last year and likely shuts down Lewis. Breust,
Moore and chad in poor form.

 

[Sixpence]

the number of players out they have, they may need to play him in the goalsquare anyway

They did that on the weekend. He was clearly in a lot of pain, couldn't even move that arm, and they kept him out there despite being thrashed!

 

[TassieGrown]

Must play Rama this week as a permanent forward which means Kosi gonesky.

Brock for the Chad

Reeves in for someone don't really care who, take a pick from 3 or 4

Weather looks good, 0 to 14

 

[Blackhawk42]

Most nervous I've been about a game all season. Just want a win and this is our best chance to achieve it.
