Gameday thread is up.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Suspect Bruce will be the sub.

It's Special Bruce, not Suspect Bruce.

 

[M Malice]

Suspect Bruce will be the sub.

Bruce Reville named in the starting 18 not the extended bench so that would be a departure from the norm... from my feeble excuse for a memory anyway.

He's on the extended bench now.

Thanks for that, I was going by the team that dropped yesterday, that afl.com?

I agree with you then, Sharp with his elite endurance makes sense to start and Reville as an impact player off the bench.

I assume Bailey was swapped into the starting 18.

I don't mind it at all. Reville as sub will allow him to make the most of his tools without jeopardizing his lack of match fitness.

I think he'll get there in that regard though. Big preseason focusing on endurance will do it.

From what I have seen of Ryan in the reserves he is painfully slow which means Daniher will probably have to play at CHF as well as taking ruck duties. That would be a massive task imo. With Marvel being a very quick deck I can see some real problems with stopping Hawthorn’s rebound from defence which is a strong point of theirs. And it appears that we will have one of our best runners on the bench which will only make things worse. I hope we haven’t lost this at the selection table.

Ryan was good for hawthorn when he played, has sticky hands and finds space well. Pretty smart player. But tank is poor and lacks speed or explosiveness. Will play FF I presume, Daniher CHF and second ruck. Morris third tall. Rayner can also play taller.

This will make more sense than Sharp. Really think playing multiple players out of position just to squeeze Bailey in somewhere is not worthwhile.

100%. Sharp has the wing locked for the time being IMO. Still rough around the edges, but realistically he's not going to get any better in the VFL and his weapons are exactly what our team needs.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Might as well get Ryan a game with Hippy out. See what he's got

 

[Sproj]

Yeah you would assume Bruce goes to sub which is a pretty good option to have him there.

 

[cotter101]

Reville sub.

Excited to see Ryan. I think he’ll do well.

 

[Gadzorks]

Gadzorks ???

I love me a good hawks retirement player.

Even though I know he isn't that...

 

[BRAB]

Gunston is back.

Kick 10 you king

 

[Tom14]

Suspect Bruce will be the sub.

That would be my preference. Have liked sharp's run a lot.

 

[Nunez]

Godston will do to us what Bradshaw did that faithful night 14 years ago. I fear for our players lives.

 

[McIvor]

That would be hilarious if Gunston barrelled a torp from 60m out.

I remember a torp from outside 50. Was it after the siren to win or just during the game?

 

[BangyBangy]

That would be hilarious if Gunston barrelled a torp from 60m out to win them the game.

Lol, that wasn't a mark. Great goal tho.

 

[rye]

looking at these teams, andrews should have a field day. hawks key forwards will be chol, gunston and dear.

[notliondown]

If Sharp is sub you suspect that means Berry would go back to wing which is a lose lose as far as I can see.

Bruuuuuuce has struggled to play a full game out so I suspect they might be managing him a bit if he ends up sub.
