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

[manicpie]

Nick Daicos is due a BOG performance or he'll rob himself of another Brownlow!

I doubt it will be this week. Hawthorn always put a hard tag on him

They'll pick that tagger.

 

[manicpie]

They'll pick that tagger.

Unfortunately, yes, yes they will

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

So ins could potentially be
Howe
Cox
McStay
Parker (unlikely to make the 23)

Definite out
Shultz

Possible outs
Freddie. Gonna have a hard time keeping him in the side if they all come in, unfortunately.
Reef. Same as Freddie. Unless he can have a different role.

Markov moved to sub.
Howe plays back only.

Don't think they'd be bringing Parker into the seniors. He wasn't best 23 before his injury.

Thought McStay would have a longer run in the VFL this week.
Coxy fwd; Howey back; Kreugs still in?

 

[Harry O]

Unfortunately, yes, yes they will

They have been using Nash to tag

 

[Jen2310]

Cox implied he didn't know if he would play afl or vfl on his podcast.
But at some level he was hopeful
today was his first session since his injury. Said it'll be up to the fitness people to decide.

 

[Jelly Bean]

If they want to play Sicily forward, we bring in every tall that’s available and stretch them with height.

Make him go back where he is a bit of a liability due to injuries,

Sicily a liability down back? Didn't he take 20 uncontested marks against us down back in a game last year or so? And got like 40 possessions? Absolutely slaughtered us.

Yes and even Fly's wife asked him why he didn't do it.

There was no answer publicly, but I reckon it was so we could keep tactics ala Frampton on Andrews, up our sleeve.

 

[Jen2310]

yeah, thats what I'm referring to.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I thought it was. I'd just finished watching it when I read your post.

 

[SchuPie]

Everything on the line
Manic pressure - do whatever it takes
Just win - must win

 

[jmac70]

This may surprise people, but I think we might just win this.

Me too.

If it’s like the corresponding game last year, I will be deeply disappointed

I’m happy for them to play him and he hurts the shoulder in the opening minutes.
Happy for him to play the following week though.

And also the next 9?

Was a total disaster. Got smashed and Nick ended up with a broken leg

 

[Exambolor]

One thing we have to prevent is Hardwick becoming prime Dunstall again like he did at Gather Round

Yeah.. that wasn't ideal.

He will be primed and pumped for some payback. Hawks lost him the Brownlow and he hasn’t forgotten it . Will tear it up with 33 (20 contested) going at 80%, 2 goals, 11 score involvements and 700m gained

I don’t mean normally.

He has a seriously bung shoulder at the minute and is just scrapping through games, admitted himself he can’t tackle at the moment.

Hopefully Darcy sticks his knee right on the joint

 

[riddick78]

Hopefully Cox and Howe are in, Schultz and Leggy out, give Reef a full game.

Time to get creative, i'd start Naicos on half back, move him around a bit, he's gonna get tagged and i'm sick of watching him getting held in the midfield. Would love to see Crisp in the midfield more, he plays his best in there.

Play Moore forward sooner, not 1 min to go in the 4th, see if he can get his mojo back.

If Pendles arm still isn't 100%, maybe make him the sub, can come on and make an instant impact.

Rotate players through the midfield, Naicos, Crisp, Long, DeGoey, Lippa, Pendles, Jaicos, even Reef, give him a taste.

Get creative Pies.
