[Mitchell Madness]

Impey the luckiest bloke at hawthorn

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Impey the luckiest bloke at hawthorn

I'd bestow that honour to kosi.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

I'd bestow that honour to kosi.

Kosi a close second (gets excused due to terrible entry after 1/4 time)

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

must be easing Harry back via Box Hill

don't mind giving some of these blokes a chance to atone for last week, but a fair few on thin ice you'd think

 

[Stranglers]

So Chad the only definite change?

 

[Dewnior]

Impey the luckiest bloke at hawthorn

I'd bestow that honour to kosi.

Nah, Bramble the luckiest of them all. Sam has man love for him (for whatever reason)

 

[Jet_black]

I think CMac and Butler will make the final team.

Big Meek may miss out given small SCG.

 

[KermitJagger]

Butler and Brockman seem like the most likely inclusions to me. Even when we were playing well through the early parts of last round it was clear we were lacking for pace in the front half.

 

[HomerJayS]

Impey the luckiest bloke at hawthorn

I’m more optimistic: Mackenzie - he slipped to us, his boyhood dream. Should have gone much earlier.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Impey the luckiest bloke at hawthorn

18 disposals at 100%, 4 intercepts and 300m gained.

Not sure why that would have him dropped.

I know we probably hate to hear it but I feel CJ is fairly lucky. This was a bit of a return to the worrying, loose checking and defensive risk taking CJ of a few years ago. Greene also but he'll benefit far more from being kept in the team until Lewis returns where he'll thrive IMO. I'm glad to see Mitchell is backing most of them in to turn it around.

[KermitJagger]

Exactly, gave away a few frees too. The risk with CJ has always been that he's high stakes which means his good pays off extremely well, but his bad really hurts. Frost is the same.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

I think Ned "Big Noodle" Reeves is more than capable of playing as a sole ruck against Sydney. One of his best performances was at the SCG against the Gold Coast Suns. Sydney will also only be rocking with Peter Ladhams

. Personally, I'd allow Meek to play with Box Hill this week. My preference would be for us to bring in Brockman, but Butler is in form and should come into the lineup. Ins: Scrimshaw, Butler. Outs: Meek, Wingard

, Sam Butler, Connor MacDonald.

 

[Stranglers]

CJ’s biggest issue was that they kept falling over and losing track of his opponent.

The moment that I felt summed up CJs game the best wasn't so much his running goal, it was 13:10 to go in the 3rd. Dropped an easy chest mark in the goal square, paddled it through the legs of Maguinness just as he was about to grab it, lost his feet, regained possession and handballed it straight to Perkins for a goal.

Looked like a chook with its head cut off for the majority and I'm surprised he isn't copping more heat in the post game analysis.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Impey the luckiest bloke at hawthorn

Strange way of spelling Bramble and Reeves

 

[peetoo]

I think CMac and Butler will make the final team.

Big Meek may miss out given small SCG.

That would mean 3 rucks at least at box hill. Should be worth a watch to see how it works

 

[Mitchell Madness]

18 disposals at 100%, 4 intercepts and 300m gained.

Not sure why that would have him dropped.

Constant shirking of the contest.
100% efficiency means nothing, especially when one of those "efficient" disposals was a kick inside 50 that dropped 10m short of the target, and another went 10m over the targets head

Constant shirking of the contest.
100% efficiency means nothing, especially when one of those "efficient" disposals was a kick inside 50 that dropped 10m short of the target, and another went 10m over the targets head

Constant shirking of the contest never happened. You know it, I know it and everyone reading this knows it.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Suggest you watch the game again.
He refused to put his body on the line, was terrible. The only one who doesn't know it is you

And the Footy dept apparently.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Impey the luckiest bloke at hawthorn

He copped on here after last week, but he also had 18 touches at 100% disposal efficiency which is a rare stat in brown and gold in the past 5 years.
