Preview Round 12, 2023 : Port Adelaide v Hawthorn, 1:45pm Sat 2nd June, AO

[westhawk]

Do we? In juniors? One of Scrimshaw or CJ

I think CJ and Scrim will have to show some urgency and toughness to get back in.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

If Ward is passed fit he plays. Sicily may get a week

CJ will find it hard to show urgency sitting on the sidelines with a calf injury!


If we are unfortunate enough to see Sicily miss a week, then Scrim and DGB have their shot to grab the tall intercepting vacancy tomorrow.

CJ hadn’t shown any urgency pre injury, just a whole lot of fumbling and poor decision making. Would be playing DGB before both, he can play on bigger forwards, and although he doesn’t get a lot of it, his disposal is pretty good.

 

[hawkman]

Do we all turn into Delecate Des after 2 wins and predict an easy win?

Yeh, we got this.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

If fit in Ward, out Bramble.

 

[naysayer]

If fit in Ward, out Bramble.

Bramble had 23 touches off a wing, a couple of clearances but more importantly battled from start to finish. He had an enormous one-on-one contest win out on the wing against Hill which I believe ended up in Kosi's hands. I thought he was excellent, especially considering the quality of the opposition wingmen.

Agree, Bramble would be unlucky. How lever i think we'd rate Ward more with his upside and want invest senior game time into him.

Outs- Sicily suspended
Ins- dgb , McDonald

Sub - McKenzie

 

[peetoo]

What about Ward to take on and even get close to sicilys coolness across half back? Seems like we need two players to replace him

Genuine battle of the two up and coming midfields. Our rucks though

 

[Braidz]

Still don’t understand the hating on Bramble. He played a really good game yesterday. Can’t be dropped. I doubt any changes happen. Everyone played well.
Let’s see how we go against a genuine too 4 side

 

[hawkhamlet]

Our backline looked so much better without CJ's fumbling. I also think Sicily plays better without him there.

I think oppositions were playing through CJs weaknesses. If the can harness his talents, he can overcome that

 

[local hack]

Changes and all that in here.

Sicily the watch, with the potential to miss a week for his bump on Caminiti.

When did this happen? Trying to find it on replay

I think most people are just looking for someone to make way for Ward, so we have our young guns out there. But yes, I see it like you. Bramble was sent back to BH to work on his game. He worked his way back and has played out of his skin 3 games running . If we're going to omit him now, then there wasn't much sense in that whole narrative. Plus he just had a good game. I agree he stays.

Similar games, hawks slightly older and significantly bigger. Port way ahead on goals.

Hawks more ruck power but port have such as boak and wines to call in

 

[Sturty]

No changes

 

[MinerBoy]

Tough game against one of the form teams of the comp.

But I'm sure Port won't be too overawed.

 

[offtherails9]

Haven't watched the full game yet but is Bramble now back to his wing more so again? That's where he played his best footy in 21. Then he became a HBF for the past while and battled. Never understood it. Happy for him anyway because he's a smart, good footballer.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Can’t think of any forced changes.
I just wanna see CMac start the game, not be used as a sub, has great impact on the contest and deserves a full game.

I gave him votes in the Yabby. Played really well I thought.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Yeah damn just saw the footage of Sic, unfortunately he will cop a week..

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

He will, and it’ll be harsh. Had caminiti kept his head over the ball it’s a bump to the shoulder. Caminiti takes his eyes off the ball, lift his body, and the head gets taken.
Let’s s pray for a fine due to low impact and move on

 

[TazHawk15]

Sic will get a week and don’t be surprised if the AFL want to give him 2.

If he gets through today’s game you would think DGB has to come in for him.
