Preview Round 21, 2023 : Hawthorn v Collingwood, 4:35pm Saturday August 5th MCG

Who are the last 3 blokes standing on the right including cap holder ?

I actually don’t know. According to the numbers 18 was Brad Lloyd and 31 was Chris Obst. The cup holder I think is just staff from the club.

Edit. I see others have ratified it I don’t remember either of them.

Really fond memories of being at that game out at Waverley, and that whole preseason series where we looked great. Back when the night grand final really meant something.

It lost its oomph when it went to a round robin. Never regained its mojo after that. Then they introduced the 2 half games in a day which completely killed it

I'm sure everyone has chilled on Frosty, by now.

Stays to do what he does, the good things, and be 2nd ruck.

If he is dropped... Nash to 2nd ruck and Ryan/Lewis in the forward line.

Gee, Trent Croad hasn’t aged well…

Spending too much time on bigfooty pumping up your wife's legs takes its toll.

There’s just no one else currently in who can help in the ruck. If we drop Frost, we either have to revert to 2 rucks, or bring Kosi or Rama back in, but that probably means dropping Ryan. Please no Nash or Lewis in the ruck.

Jesus what ave I missed??

I think the professional era killed it as it did state of origin a few years prior. For all the money in the game, it wasn’t worth chasing and risking injuries for anything but a genuine premiership.

You'll flog us by 10 goals, relax

They don't really need to. 2 games clear and percentage. Wouldn't be surprised they cruise around and just do enough. Nothing to prove against the 16th placed team. It's about finals prep for them from here on in.

Haha, it's in this thread:

AFL Players on Bigfooty

A few of the Port boys lurk. Not sure if they post much though.

Allegedly (pretty much confirmed), Croad is Jess Solero and Kate is Louloujez & Jezzasbabygirl. Definitely worth a look for a few laughs.

Blanck in.

 

[TDS7]

This implies it's due to injury. Another soft drop from Sam?

 

[SJT76]

No Amon makes selection interesting. I’d still drop Bramble, but we will be lacking run.

 

[Coathanger]

Another faux injury coming up instead of saying dropped.
We've saved 2 extra goals now.

How Bramble gets a game before Morrison is astounding.
Then again so is Blanck being sub.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Meek for Reeves
Blanck into the side
Serong for Frost
Morrison for Bramble
Mackenzie to sub

 

[cryptor]

Gotta hate it when a toe injury flares up and makes you run in and push over an opposition forward inside 50 to give away a goal and momentum. Get well soon xoxo

 

[TylerDurden]

Scrim would have to come in you'd think.
Blanck to take Mihocek.

 

[Notsoyabby]

John Hook

Speaking of hooks, The Big Fish looking pretty solid!

 

[smish]

Hardwick - Elliott
Shammy - Hill
Blanck - Mihocek
Sic - Cameron/McStay
Weddle - McCreery

Cox/McStay/Cameron vs Blanck/Sicily/no Frost could stretch us for height. Perhaps a Serong callup?

 

[Walshawk]

Too mobile for Blanck. They have Cox and McStay as well. We actually needed Frosty this week. Although there is talk the Pies may drop Cox and play Howe forward. Selection will be interesting on both sides.

 

[lethalselbow]

Might be a whole bunch of changes.

yeah the end of season uncontracted player merry go round begins
