Preview Round 15, 2022: Bulldogs v Hawks, 7pm Friday 24th June, Marvel Stadium

[CHUBBSS]

A real concern with both ward and lynch..
I’ve spoken to a few people who have told me ward has a history of concussion, and hawthorn were fully aware of this, so hopefully just taking the safe approach.. but I’d love to see him again soon.

Lynch’s last one looked bad in context of his season, not suprised he is getting an extended rest

 

[lyger]

Worpel and Blanck spoken about in the presser too.

As possible inclusions for this week?

 

[TylerDurden]

As possible inclusions for this week?

Correct.

 

[hawkman]

Correct.

They were just floated by the media and Mitchell wasn't going to be saying anything other than they were going to be considered.

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[TylerDurden]

So English, Weightman and Doc will all miss our game.

 

[grumbleguts]

So English, Weightman and Doc will all miss our game.

Shame, Doc owes us a couple of cough ups in our forward line per game.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Steven Tyler]

So English, Weightman and Doc will all miss our game.

Doc is about the only ex-Hawk playing at a rival club that I hope has success
Really liked him at Hawthorn

 

[streetspirit]

Happy to put TOB in with Doc there also.

 

[MrPremiership]

Lewis for Callow
Gunston for Frost
Blanck for Hartigan
Worpel for Howe
Macdonald for Shiels

 

[davoss]

Can I use a family member's membership to buy an upgrade ticket for this match? And then I assume I need to scan the barcode at the ground somewhere?

 

[Bugs1977]

Lewis for Callow
Gunston for Frost
Blanck for Hartigan
Worpel for Howe
Macdonald for Shiels

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Lewis for Callow
Gunston for Frost
Blanck for Hartigan
Worpel for Howe
Macdonald for Shiels

I’m similar except Impey over MacDonald

 

[Gut Runner]

I’m similar except Impey over MacDonald

Don't think so... Impey wasn't at the level before he was dropped.
Pretty sure he needs to find some form - not just have a rest.

 

[TylerDurden]

Jars. I reckon the coaches back him in.

 

[MrPremiership]

I wouldn't mind seeing Morris in at some stage, even if its for Bramble

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Don't think so... Impey wasn't at the level before he was dropped.
Pretty sure he needs to find some form - not just have a rest.

Wasn’t dropped he was managed

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Tim English out is huge for us as he would have absolutely dominated around the ground.

Nice to hear it looks as though we'll get a returning Lewis and Gunston also.

Never know we could be a sneaky chance Friday night.

 

[Bugs1977]

Wasn’t dropped he was managed

So he managed to get dropped

 

[rei154]

Not visible here super well, but Cj would have to have one of the top 10 upper body physiques in the league.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

I wouldn't mind seeing Morris in at some stage, even if its for Bramble

Bramble has just started to settle back in and find form.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Marvel. Get excited about the game and then remember it is there. It's just hard to have much confidence with us playing there.

 

[Pessimistic]

Will require solid team defence, as you can't contain all of their midfield brigade. And they'll probably bring in Hunter for Smith this week. They bat 7 deep.

We actually did, with a weaker team than we have now

 

[Pessimistic]

We are 4-5 goals worse at Marvel. Front running dogs are 5-6 goals better playing at Marvel. I'm always nervous when we play here, it can get really ugly.

I'm of the view Sam turned to some of the more senior players leading into the bye to give the kids a greater rest, and to avoid the Perth travel. I'm expecting we won't see much of Hartigan, Shiels and Howe in the remaining games. It wouldn't even shock me if we 'rest' Mitchell in an effort to get Worpel more involved.

In: Lewis, Gunston, DGB, Worpel (he's earned it), MacDonald and Impey (sub)

Out: Frost (inj), Hartigan, Shiels, Callow, Howe and Morris.

Ward will need to build up form and fitness in the VFL.

We used to be a great team there. Won 3 finals too
