Game Day Round 19 vs. Hawthorn, MCG, 4:35pm Saturday 20/07

[stormskye]

Sounds like a perfect day for Shoota and Mccreery, really gonna miss their forward pressure. Gonna need a big game from Hill

 

[stormskye]

Pissed down all week and morning in Melbourne. Cold day ground won't dry.
Going in way too tall.
Mcstay and kreuger I'd take out and put macrae and bytel in.
Way to win in the wet is win it in tight kick to.space to let speedy players run on. Hill Elliot and jfn important today.
Also insane bringing mcstay in anyway after 40 mins and 7 months. Way different 40 mins at vfl to running a full game out at afl. Pray I'm wrong but I've seen this end in disaster plenty of times

Macrae and bytel

Macrae and bytel

They're the emergencies. If your swapping tall for smalls who else is available?
Unless Ed Allen or even give dimataia a debut are called in outside the 26

How are we tall? Moore down back, Mcstay up forward. Kreuger is quite agile. One ruck in Cameron. We aren’t tall…

 

[live fast pieyoung]

but i am super appreciative for every chance we still have to watch him
what a superstar

Reckon on a wet slog like today a high marking contested game is out
Don't need too many tall to bring it to ground either as it will naturally come to ground
Mcrerry and Schultz normally would be in ahead of mcstay and Krueger their not available so.go.with next best.
Horses for courses day. Must win so put the best 23 relative to conditions. Hawks aren't tall either

Hill has been up and down all season. Hope Jamie makes an impact today.

I agree. But we really only have 3 talls.
Moore
Cameron
Krueger- 196cm but is agile and good below the knees
My biggest concern is BOTH Schultz and Mccreery out in conditions they are built for.

Upside is we’ve been smashed in uncontested possessions, wet weather takes this away a bit. Doesn’t suit ginni either (outside of his ducking) which he’s trained the others in there

On a positive note, maybe our mature bodies might be suited to these conditions.
Would have to suit Sidey and Pendles the slower track surely.

Pendles has looked even slower lately so his experience and the wet ground should help his old wily self to teach the Hawks brats a thing or two.

And this ...

More smashing it long to aerial contests in the wet. More in need of a big strong presence there.

we just realised our tickets wont work! bugger - scratch that got 2 level 4 through a friend

It’s pissing down up here where I live. Not sure the rain really favours us though.

I think the rain favours us - we play a lot of dirty ball where we just smash it forward directly.

This take is so strange, we are no where near having too many talls.

That sounds like when I played. Same game plan but no bog heaps in the centre

Less running and more durries too - other than that you played Fly footy.

 

[TradeDraft]

Got a Feeling we are going to get Flogged this Evening Sadly

 

[Sea fog]

I do not think the rain generally favours us but sometimes it depends on the opponent. Such a pity that it did not rain when we played the Bombres a few weeks ago. Not raining where I live atm.

With the way the weather is... it's gonna be a miserable day if we don't turn up.

I’m predicting a beautiful day.

Pretty much. When I watch replays on YouTube, it reminds me how bad we were and how simple the game plan was. If there weren't any wings in today's game we'd win the flag every year
