[Hodginator]

Onto next week. Lions will be fresh coming off the bye.

In > Out
DGB > Frost
Sicily > Meek
Mitchell > Bramble

(Although I doubt they’ll drop Frost)

 

[grumbleguts]

I can't see us losing. (unless I watch.)

 

[WWSD]

IN: Sicily, Grainger-Barras, Mitchell

OUT: Frost (omitted), Meek (omitted), Bramble (omitted)


B: Hardwick, Blanck, Impey

HB: Scrimshaw, Grainger-Barras, Sicily

C: Amon, Worpel, Day

HF: Butler, Koschitzke, Moore

F: Breust, Lewis, Brockman

R: Reeves, Newcombe, Nash

INT: Mitchell, C.MacDonald, Weddle, MacKenzie, B.MacDonald (Sub)

EMG: Frost, Meek, Stephens, Long

 

[TylerDurden]

Can't see Bramble being dropped. Had another 20 and 400m gained.

Sic and Mitchell in.
BMac and Scrim out.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Out: koschitzke, Bramble, Nash (M), B MacDonald.

In: Sicily, Ward, Mitchell, Stephens

 

[A1fromDay1]

Ins: Sicily, Mitchell & Ward

Outs: Scrimshaw, B.Mcdonald & Bramble.

Would prefer it to be Frosty out but that won't happen

 

[madhawksfan]

In: Sic, DGB, Scrim, Ward and Frenchie (into starting 18)

Out: Meek, Frost, Bramble and Scrim

Dimma Blanck Impey
Sicily DGB Weddle
Day Worpel Amon
Moore Lewis Frenchie
Brockman Kosi Bruest
Reeves Nash Newk
CMac Mitchell Butler BMac
Sub: Ward

Would like to see Day in the backline, Newk in the forward half and Nash in the ruck for spurts so that Moore, CMac and Frenchie can have stints on ball.

 

[westhawk]

In- Sicily, DGB, Ward, Mitchell
Out- Frost, Meek, Scrimshaw, Bramble or Bmac.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Easy three to drop:
Bramble
Frost
Meek

Ins:
Ward
Sicily
DGB

I'd possibly drop Kosi too, but who can replace him?

If Mitchell is ready then maybe B. Mac comes out.

 

[threesixpio]

IN: Sicily, Grainger-Barras, Mitchell

OUT: Frost (omitted), Meek (omitted), Bramble (omitted)


B: Hardwick, Blanck, Impey

HB: Scrimshaw, Grainger-Barras, Sicily

C: Amon, Worpel, Day

HF: Butler, Koschitzke, Moore

F: Breust, Lewis, Brockman

R: Reeves, Newcombe, Nash

INT: Mitchell, C.MacDonald, Weddle, MacKenzie, B.MacDonald (Sub)

EMG: Frost, Meek, Stephens, Long

Who is second ruck if Meek is out? Kosi ?

 

[SJT76]

Scrim out. I know this requires detailed explanation: Sis is back and is our best player. Although Scrim lead the team for intercept possessions, structurally he comes out ahead of others, namely Frost.

Mitchell back for BMac.

Personally, I’d drop Frost for DGB, but may not happen. We do need some talls that can defend this week, and Frost has done that in the past.

As much as I love CMac, he may go back to sub for Frenchie: I can live with either way around. Wildcard is Meek out for Frenchie, with maybe Scrim to sub.

Basically, back them in to turn it around, but bring back those who missed unavoidably.

 

[VandoHawk]

Ins: Sicily, DGB, Mitchell, Mackenzie
Outs: Scrimshaw, CMac, Frost, BMac

Scrimshaw and CMac both had the same problem - they were very lax defensively. Scrim gave his opponent far too much room while CMac didn't lay a single tackle (Newcombe same but has runs on the board). They have to be omissions despite the good aspects of their game.

I know Frost won't likely be dropped but he was so atrocious we actively shifted him out of the backline. BMac got a good taste and now knows what is required at the level.

Kosi/Meek remain headaches but there aren't many current solutions. Would stick with them structurally.

B: Sicily Blanck Hardwick
HB: Mitchell DGB Weddle
C: Bramble Nash Amon
HF: Breust Kosi Moore
F: Brockman Lewis Butler
Fol: Reeves Newcombe Day
Int: Impey Worpel Mackenzie Meek
Sub: Long

First Hawks game I’ve been able to get to since 2019. Cannot wait

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Frost really has to be dropped after that performance. He's been roasted too many times this season. His decent/good games are bookended by terrible performances.

Mitchell said at the start of the season he won't gift games, now it's time to back that up.

Daniher and Hipwood aren't the most physical KPF's, so let Blanck and DGB have a go. If Hipwood runs up the ground then Scrimshaw can follow him, letting DGB stay in the D50.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Who is second ruck if Meek is out? Kosi ?

Honestly think using Nash in the Blicavs role may work kill two birds with one stone.

It would give the fringe midfielders (Ward, Mackenzie, MacDonald and Moore) a few extra CBA's, whilst keeping Nash around the ball.

I'd put good money on Frost not being dropped.

They're not going to drop him off the back of a bad performance where we conceded the season record for inside 50s and had our best defender and captain out, particularly after good showings in back to back wins.

 

[grumbleguts]

As much as I love CMac, he may go back to sub for CMAc:

Fixed.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Can't see Bramble being dropped. Had another 20 and 400m gained.

Sic and Mitchell in.
BMac and Scrim out.

Nice if he got more of the ball in the first half instead of junking it up insecond half, when the pressure is off

 

[threesixpio]

I don’t think anyone can underestimate how bloody good Port were in that first half. Yeah we were piss poor but they were …dare I say it…pretty awesome to watch

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Nice if he got more of the ball in the first half instead of junking it up insecond half, when the pressure is off

so we should essentially drop the entire side apart from Brockman based on this logic

 

[Mojo]

Why do I feel like we're a chance for this one..?

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

In: Sicily, Mitchell, Ward and DGB
Out: Meek (hate playing 2 rucks that can’t play elsewhere - Kosi and Nash to give ruck relief), B MacDonald (unlucky but Seamus comes in), Bramble (unlucky but Ward must play) and Frost (poor performance - probably stays in but DGB needs an opportunity)
*Wingard and CJ (if fit) to play at least 2 games at Box Hill to earn spot back.
Weddle on a wing please!!!
Ward probably the sub.

 

[hfc70]

I‘m not a fan of dropping a debutant after 1 game (especially after playing a Top 4 team….and no Sicily)

OUT - Bramble , Kosi (I have stamped their papers) , Snowman
IN - Sicily , Smitch , DGB

 

[Howe Amazing]

Loved Day in the midfield but so classy off half back. Getting tagged each week now too. A mixture of both would suit. Would like to see DGB, Blanck as 2 KDs and Sic interceptor. Scrim lacking confidence. Ward back in

 

[DEECEE]

In- Sicily, DGB, Ward, Mitchell
Out- Frost, Meek, Scrimshaw, Bramble or Bmac.

Like the ins. But frosty won't get dropped. Sam absolutely loves him.
