Hardwick named Forward - does he play there or stay back?

If Finn can shut down Reid, or at least curb his influence, that takes us quite a ways towards winning.

Hello Mr Nash.
I think Worpel, Newcombe, and Day will make it very hard for him at stoppage without a hard tag.

Breust out managed, Gunston starting

I’ve got a feeling Gunners may miss as well.

Reid is a good young player but if we didn't bother using Finn to tag Neale, Dawson or Bontempelli I don't think we're going into this game overly threatened by him. We'd back our mids against any at this point.

Out of Ward, Harry and Finn: I think Ward comes in.

Are you talking about future 200-gamer Josh Ward (according to Sam)?

Well ok, he didn't specify 200 games for Hawthorn so i'll pay it.

 

[TylerDurden]

Harry as sub for mine.

 

[Bedi]

somewhat unsexy ins, but I always like Morrison in the side.

 

[Avira]

Does the sub have to come from the extended bench? Morrison straight into the starting lineup means he somehow gets a game

No

The sub can be selected from anyone named in the final 23 even if they were initially selected on the field

AFL rules are you must be injured if you are removed from the starting 18.

Seems we may have been flouting this rule this year based on a previous post?

Seems a little harsh to me to be omitted if you are named in the starting 18.

AFL rules are you must be injured if you are removed from the starting 18.

With the final 23 named, you can only be removed if you are injured.
With a 26 man squad named for a Sunday game, that isn’t the case. Earlier this year both Ramsden and Gunners were in the starting 18 on Thursday but omitted on Friday evening when final teams were announced.

Would guess Morrison in as sub been averaging 40 at box hill.

That's quite impressive, especially given he hasn't gotten 40 disposals once all season.

 

[Alite]

Might not be good for wiz whos deceleration and acceleration is an ingredient

Good call… the Wiz slips over a lot on good surfaces let alone on bad. He is on the extended bench meaning… he is a chance to be watching.

On field doesn't matter - believe we see the recalling of Josh Ward

I thought that the on-field sections were the locks with the interchange the variables… Is this incorrect?

Only for the final 23 man squad. With a 26 man squad, that isn’t the case. Max Ramsden earlier this year was omitted on Friday after being named on Thursday night in the starting 18 to play the Sunday game.

Somehow?
Sure, he's vanilla, but he's also the most versatile player on our list. Goes where needed without fuss and does the role asked of him.
He's also getting 30 a week in the 2nds.

I guess with so many whipping boys departing over the last few years, there had to be someone take the mantle

 

[CHUBBSS]

I said in the maginess thread that he needs a tune up game before daicos, this might be it
