Preview Round 2, 2022: Port v Hawthorn, AO 7.40pm, Saturday 26th March

[chopflop]

Any selection whispers Fear The Beard ?

Hodgeball

 

[Judd2Sewell]

What is happening with Downie? He’s been MIA the last month or two.

Rehabbing his injury. Just real bad timing for him as he was looking good in pre-season and impressed in an intra club just prior to the injury.

[Bardo State]

New era. Still struggling to adjust my expectations.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Clarko would never. This is great.

==================================================================

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Well if Shiels has been omitted I think that puts the acid on all our senior players that games won't be given on reputation this year.

Don't mind it, our midfield especially needed a big shake up.

 

[Blackhawk42]

As a lot of us speculated without being confident the trigger would be pulled.

Expecting the mighty warrior Liam Shiels

to play around 15-16 games this season occasionally making way for the youth of tomorrow to gain exposure.

 

[Hodginator]

Like it

 

[chopflop]

Does that mean Phillips is out or he could be the sub again.

The direction is very clear now. We will have many senior players leaving come the end of this year.

Magginness staying in is a massive show of faith

 

[theiaofseed]

Loving seeing Ned Long named as an emergency

Yeah Phillips would still be listed as an omission even if he was to come in and be sub again.

Sub will come from an emergency so Phillips could still be it. Other emergencies are Howe, Long and Kosi.

 

[hawkheart]

So Day hopefully cherry ripe for a very winnable game against the Blues.

 

[MrPremiership]

Breust and McEvoy in
Debutants stay in and get another game
Shiels out rather than a young player
Day sensibly gets another run at BHH
Focus on youth


I like everything about this

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Glad none of the youngsters got dropped.

 

[Aramis]

Shiels had a good game against North, youth policy is fine but this one feels a little forced. Others could have been dropped before Shiels.

Did you watch the same game?

 

[MrPremiership]

Agree he was ok against North, but I still like the move.

Who else would you drop if not Shiels? Wouldn't think it would be wise to drop Worpel, Maginness, Morrison

 

[rei154]

I spent all summer hoping that senior players would get dropped instead of young players needing assistance, but I never truly expected it to happen

Really happy with the direction the club is going with this, and really hoping Shiels' can head into the 2's and do great things with our other youngsters!

Yeh I was there, you?

Jaeger or Worpel (although he goes against the youth policy)

Doubt he'll play for BHH if he's being "managed"

 

[Mrzohs]

I think they have nailed the team selection on every line! Even the interchange is spot on with the bottom four, currently based on form & injury!

There will be no complaining this year the young guys aren't given every chance!

 

[MrPremiership]

Jaeger or Worpel (although he goes against the youth policy)

Wouldn't be dropping either of those for Shiels.

Complete no.

 

[Aramis]

Wouldn't be dropping either of those for Shiels.

Complete no.

Based on form last week, Shiels was best of the 3.
