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

Chad. It's time.

Chad to sub, swapping with Breust at 3/4 would make a lot of sense.

 

[Wizzmania]

Wonder if it's the toe that was getting treated during the Eagles game or something new.

They did call a toe-truck apparently

 

[TylerDurden]

Chad to sub, swapping with Breust at 3/4 would make a lot of sense.

I'm on it.

 

[user33]

Ginni’s work rate up and down the ground will be a big loss if he’s out. I could see Morrison playing that role, not sure I could see Breust being able too. Breust might sub again.

 

[Bugs1977]

Wonder if it's the toe that was getting treated during the Eagles game or something new.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that Ginna copped a corkie late

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Gunners questionable
Probably managed because of the 6 day break.

 

[VandoHawk]

Losing Ginni, Dear, Sicily and Gunners in one go would hurt

Scaife a chance?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Losing Ginni, Dear, Sicily and Gunners in one go would hurt

The earth giveth, and the earth taketh

Outs: Ginnivan (inj), Dear (inj), Sicily (inj), Gunston (rested)
Ins: Breust, Lewis, Serong, Maginness

B: Serong Frost Weddle
HB: Impey Scrim Amon
C: Jiath Nash D’Ambrosio
HF: Moore Chol MacDonald
F: Watson Lewis Hardwick
Fol: Meek Newcombe Day
Int: Morrison Worpel Mackenzie Maginness
Sub: Breust

*Maginness to play a defensive forward role on Stewart
*Geelong one of the teams where I think Meek/Nash works really well as only rucks
*Morrison back, Hardwick forward
*Please be OK Sicily He's one of the few players whose impact we struggle to cover

Stewart will play in the midfield.

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Scaife a chance?

Could be Punky playing a full game.

We’ll see.

 

[KermitJagger]

If Ginnivan misses, Breust comes back in. That works.

If we're looking for an additional player in the forward line I'd be a watch on Bennetts. Outside of last week in the VFL he has been very solid all year, averaging around 20 disposals, 5 marks and a goal a game.

I don't think we rush in Wingard with limited fitness, but if we think he can play we might.

 

[VandoHawk]

Stewart will play in the midfield.

I know he played some midfield minutes last week but seems a a risky move given they are rucking SDK, and we should have quality tall timber in Lewis and Chol.

Helps them if Dear (who likely would have made way anyway) and Gunners are unavailable to exploit.

Maginness usually starts on the HFF and tags at stoppage anyway.

 

[Bedi]

Big outs if names above all miss. But Lewis, Breust and Chad would all be great ins. Hence the importance of retaining depth on our list next year with the likes of Wingard, Breust, Gunston and Morrison

This is a game i penciled in as a loss when finals were first a possibility, so a win here would be a massive bonus. Hawks by 13

I love Hardwick as a forward, but unless Mitchell comes in he’ll stay back. Can’t lose sis and him with only Serong to cover.

Geelong’s small/medium forwards are what wins them games.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

The cumulative scoreline of all Hawthorn v Geelong games between 2013-2015 (8 games) was
Hawthorn 113.111 to Geelong 95.93

Geelong scored more goals than behinds in just 3 games and lost all of them.

Of the 3 games Hawthorn lost to Geelong in that time, both teams had similar sub-50% accuracy but Geelong had more scoring shots.

That seems surprising.
I guess the trauma of the shooting the lights out on a couple of games has overshadowed the memory of the other one

 

[Sturty]

Did Chad even play last week? He copped a calf complaint before the bye

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Wait.. gunners in doubt too?

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Wait.. gunners in doubt too?

There was a portion where Gunners was not with the main group (same with Ginni and Calsher).
Sic did not participate in the match sims, that could be telling.

Anyway take this with a grain of salt.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Hasn't Wingard missed the past 3 weeks now with a calf?

Breust straight in for Ginni if that rumour is indeed true.
Seamus in to allow Hardwick to play as a forward has to be a consideration if Gunners is also missing.

Reckon Gunners will play mate.

 

[Billyc]

Breust over Chad if Ginnivan misses.

 

[user33]

Scaife a chance?

Legitimately might be if it’s true dear and Gunston are both out

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Reckon Gunners will play mate.

So you reckon only Ginni, Calsher and Sic not playing?
