Preview Round 17, 2024 : Geelong v Hawthorn, 4:35pm Sat 6th July, GMHBA stadium

[Strapping Young Lad]

Changes and all that in here.

Lewis is fit.
Sicily a test.

Go at it.

 

[LRobbo]

Lewis in for Dear

Would love Sicily to get up, so important, if not either Serong or Phillips whoever is in better form at Box Hill

If Stewart plays in defence does Gunston or Moore go to him to make him accountable?

Think our midfield will be to slick and Meek should monster DeKoning who’s been rucking for the handbags.

Keep Cameron in check and we win this

 

[Sturty]

We will trounce them at their dump.
Our midfield speed will run them off their feet

Just a side note, Listened to Cam Mackenzie interview post game, what a cracking young man. Spoke so well, like a seasoned pro will be an important player for us for many years to come.
Lewis in for Dear, Gunston to Stewart and Chol at FF as Lewis loaves to roam. The key to the game will be our midfield and the support from the HHF, Moore, MacDonald and Ginni they switch on and we are a big chance. Weddle to Cameron, Frost to the Lunk ( Hawkins) and fingers crossed Sicily gets up. Havent been this excited for a game all year. Go Hawks.

Hawkins is out mate.
Henry also injured.

 

[TylerDurden]

This Sicily thing is bothering me. I'm taking Phillips down there. Unless we go small, then Seamus back in.

Lewis for Dear.
Breust for Harry (stiff)

We'll be up for this, that you can guarantee.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

The winner of this game may end up grabbing the B. Smith award at the end of the season.

 

[TassieGrown]

Can't wait for this game, Hawks by 30

Lewis for Dear

Sis would be highly doubtful based on the weeks he missed last time with the same injury.

Bruest for Sis, surely we have enough coverage down back to cover Sis.

Frost to add Cameron to his list of scalps this season.

Looking for forward to Chol & Lewis clunking plenty

 

[Philhawk]

Sic is just so important to our structure. I’d jab him up for this one.

In: Lewis
Out: Dear

If Sic is out, I’d debut McCabe at the Cattery (don’t worry, I’m joking). But I’d consider bringing in a small and getting Weddle to go down back.

 

[Malik_90]

IN: Lewis, Serong

OUT: Sicily (injured), Dear (injured)


B: Hardwick, Frost, Jiath

HB: Weddle, Serong, Scrimshaw

C: Day, Worpel, Amon

HF: Ginnivan, Chol, Gunston

F: Watson, Lewis, Moore

R: Meek, Newcombe, Nash

INT: Impey, D’Ambrosio, MacDonald, Mackenzie, Morrison (Sub)

EMG: Breust, Maginness, Ramsden

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

This will be our biggest test in a while. A win keeps us in touch with the top 8, whilst also pushing a top 8 contender further back into the pack.
Our midfield is where we need to get the advantage, and the key to victory will be how efficient we are with forward entries and goalkicking conversion.

Lewis in, Dear out.

If Sicily misses, bring Breust in as sub.

 

[mustang]

Is Dear definitely out?

 

[Hrvat Hawks]

If Sic can't play, Serong in
If Dear can't play, Lewis in
If Ginni can't play, Breust in

Otherwise wouldn't change a thing

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I'd bring Serong in over Phillips at this stage if Sicily doesn't get up

 

[MazHawk]

Is Dear definitely out?

No, not even listed in the match report as an injury. He did get a knock but it was 3rd quarter where they may have been bringing in Harry regardless.
Nothing official yet, just shadow jumping.

 

[Chioli]

I'd bring Serong in over Phillips at this stage if Sicily doesn't get up

Considering Hawkins is out and then tall forwards are
Cameron - Weddle
Neale - Scrimshaw
Rohan - Frost

I would consider bringing in Mitchell and sending him to miers and have Hardwick take Stengle.

Hopefully Sicily gets though

Massive game for us. Geelong in enemy territory a huge opportunity for us as a team to take that next step.

Lewis in this week for Dear
Sic has to play, just jab him up.

Pretty excited for this. Gonna stay down the night so hopefully we can all have a great weekend celebrating

 

[KermitJagger]

No, not even listed in the match report as an injury. He did get a knock but it was 3rd quarter where they may have been bringing in Harry regardless.
Nothing official yet, just shadow jumping.

When you go back looked and reacted like he copped a knock to the liver, anyone who has done a bit of boxing knows that when you cop a hit like that your entire body wants to shut down. Sam said after the game that the choice to use the sub was more tactical than injury related. So unless there's lasting damage he won't miss a week, unless we decide to rest him.

 

[Dewwwww]

0 chance Sicily plays. He is our 2nd best player. If it was a final different story however he won’t be risked considering it would be season ending if it popped out again

 

[SpanishBrowne]

this feels like the Pies game last year. sammy be prepping to make a big statement.

 

[Buttonsticher]

My only request is the Wiz to kick them goals. When he ran straight and kicked straight he goaled. Please repeat

If Stewart plays in defence does Gunston or Moore go to him to make him accountable?

Hardwick as a defensive forward is the perfect match up for Stewart.

 

[Ka Norkers]

Lewis in for Sicily, Hardwick down back on Stengle, Impey get Miers.
Breust in for Watson. (can't afford inept goal-kicking in what will likely be a very tight game)
Morrison to stay sub, he was fabulous against the Eagles.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

This is my grand final - the one I really want to win. We might or might not make finals but I just want to win this by a good 4-5 goals.

Lewis in for Sicily, Hardwick down back on Stengle, Impey get Miers.
Breust in for Watson. (can't afford inept goal-kicking in what will likely be a very tight game)
Morrison to stay sub, he was fabulous against the Eagles.

No chance Watson comes out of this team. He was great yesterday.
