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

[FB19]

Breust will play the full game, was told he would be rested for the Perth trip and obviously the bye to make sure he was ready to play full games. Morrison sub.

I think that’s a mistake feels like a Harry sort of game to me.

 

[triple treat]

Do we need to replace Ginnivan (if he misses) with another small forward? I reckon the Wiz would love having more responsibility down there and we still have Moore. Bring in Ward for him for the added running power.

Could go

Ward for Ginnivan
Lewis for Dear
Breust for Morrison

Hardwick - Frost - Scrimshaw
Sicily - Weddle - Amon
Jiath - Day - D’Ambrosio
Moore - Lewis - MacDonald
Gunston - Chol - Watson
Meek - Newcombe - Worpel
Mackenzie - Nash - Ward - Impey - Breust (sub)

 

[HedgeFund]

If the club think he's ready to go, he's ready to go.
Offers versatility and leadership- if we're without Gunston in the front half and we manage Breust out of the game, Chad is a logical swap?

Hasn’t played for a month since tweaking his calf (again).

He’s clearly not “ready to go”.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Punk, Lewis and Finn all to come in would
be my guess.

Like it.

In: Lewis, Maginness, Breust
Out: Dear, Sicily, Ginnavin

Maginness can sit in Holmes shorts all game and cut out his run/carry.

 

[mustang]

If Sicily is out could Gunston play back in the sweeper role if Dear can play, or Gunston wouldn’t have the leg speed to do this any more.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Thought Mitchell had an average game at Box Hill? Could just be my memory failing me though.

Hustwaite was outstanding for Box Hill so could be the one knocking on the door.

I'd be surprised if Sicily is named, 6 day turn around on a shoulder dislocation is always a big risk. I'm expecting we will play it safe.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Regardless of whose out really hope Chad isn't back

Hes not the player he once was and a good VFL player is about his level now tbh

 

[Hawked Wings]

Out - Ginni, Dear and Sicily
In - Punky, Lewis and Mitchell

 

[matey]

Ginni, Dear, Siss (all managed) replaced by Lewis, Finn, Ward. Ward and Finn need to be shown some faith for the long term and we run them off their feet!

 

[hawkman]

If Ginnivan is out, Breust comes in to play the deep small forward, Watson pushes up higher to play the Ginnivan role. Dear goes out for Lewis

Sicily is the interesting one. Could go a number of different ways, move Hardwick back or could bring in a tall (Serong) or small (Mitchell)

Think Morrison stays as sub

 

[pattymalone00]

 

[suburb whispers]

The big question is: Have the cheer squad made a ‘HAWK TUAH’ sign yet??

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Ginni, if he misses, will be a real loss.
He zips up and down everywhere, especially late in games, always providing an option.
Punky can’t do that anymore so the midfield dynamic would have to change, if Ginni is out.

 

[Newmo89]

Expect we'll see both Mitchell's on our list named in the team for this weekend.

 

[Bugs1977]

So at this stage it’s likely:

IN: Breust Lewis
OUT: Sicily Dear

Ginni is a test and if he doesn’t get up Seamus comes in for him

 

[Mr Lizard]

 

[pattymalone00]

 

[hawkman]

Mitchell, Ramsden and Serong are the emergencies

 

[The A Team Van]

Dang it. Sicily out is huge

 

[Hawker55]

Dang it. Sicily out is huge

We will win without him.

 

[eldorado]

Dang it. Sicily out is huge

I think it was inevitable...more likely another week too, one would think...

Good to see Ginnivan get up

 

[TheFourPillars]

I think it was inevitable...more likely another week too, one would think...

Good to see Ginnivan get up

He still faces a fitness test they were going to name him and give him till the last minute

 

[Newmo89]

I think it was inevitable...more likely another week too, one would think...

Good to see Ginnivan get up

Ginnivan will do a fitness test tomorrow morning from all reports. If he is out, Seamus Mitchell will come in.
