Game Day Round 19: Hawks v Pies 4:35pm @ The G

[RX Hawk]

Hawks by 40. We play much better rain or not.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Why the hell is Finn the sub?

Unless they've already got a half time change in mind.

If he's not in to tag Daicos, why has he been included in the team over Harry Morrison

who certainly didn't deserve to be omitted?

Stunning choice here.

 

[HedgeFund]

Finn sub.

Don’t tag Naicos unless we absolutely have to.

He may have an ordinary game going head to head with a non-tagging opponent.

Bring Finn on to do the job if it’s required.

Stunning choice here.

His form warranted selection and you don't kill team structure just to tag one player.

 

[Fleabane]

Getting excited and a bit nervous. Come on Hawks!!

Has honestly made me less excited for the game. Finn as the sub earlier in the year was a terrible choice.

Would’ve preferred Morrison, Seamus or even Gunston as sub. Finn is not an impact player unless locking down

 

[JoeHawk]

Bloody freezing here. And they say only VFL park got cold.

 

[Hodginator]

Got to back the coaches in, but it’s certainly a head scratcher having Finn as sub. Let’s see how things go

 

[Billyc]

The Finn selection and then sub comes across as cute mind games. I don’t love it in a big game like this. It was a failure last time we tried it

Would make more sense to tag from outset and sub him out if it’s not working or structure not working.

Anyway let’s hope it pays off or doesn’t matter

Aye, arctic like breeze swirling around. Hot beverages are going to get a workout for sure.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Finn into the side to tag Daicos from the first bounce makes sense.

Finn in to replace Morrison as sub doesn't really make much sense to me at all TBH.

Oh well let's see how this eventuates!

 

[kenneje]

Finn has been in awesome form at Box Hill. He hasn't been tagging, he's been playing as a hard running, ball winning midfielder that uses his power to push forward.

 

[TONYC3163]

This!

Nerves starting to trickle in now. 11degrees and rain at the 'G - softens the blow of not being able to make it down for this one.

 

[Hawks1994]

Seems like Sam is backing us in to win, weather Daicos gets 30 or not. I love the confidence if that's the case. Finn can come on when needed and provide strong run and another midfield rotation on a wet, tiring day

Crowd is nowhere near the number I thought it might be. Still a bit till opening bounce but we waltzed straight into general admin seats

 

[KermitJagger]

Anyone who thought Finn was in to tag Daicos from the start was overreacting. We'll back our mids at first, as we have against other gun midfielders, and if Daicos gets off the hook we can bring Finn into the game for that responsibility.

Agree that Finn as a sub is an odd call given it didn't work out earlier in the year, but I much prefer this than throwing out a well established and performing midfield structure just to tag one player.

Partly because of this blue screen crap as well as the weather. I’m stuck in an Uber because trains went to shit

 

[Franko Armani]

Never know what to to expect in these hyped games against quality opponents but given that it’s going to be near impossible to make finals regardless of a win today, I hope we are just really competitive if we are not able to slay them. Go Hawks!!

G yet to fill up

Dumb move again. Every time there’s been a head scratching sub selection we’ve paid for it

 

[kirbatron]

crazy mitch & his bizarre subs

 

[Billyc]

Ultimately the sub rarely has a big impact on a game so I’m hoping that’s the case here. Back the 22 starting players to get it done

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Don't know why we wouldn't have rolled with Harry as sub again, he's been very good in that role (which is almost a specialist role these days).

 

[Max Powers]

Let's do this Hawks

 

[spudmaster]

Little tacker with Ginni already the same height as Watson
