Preview Round 22, 2017: Carlton v Hawthorn, 19 August 2017, 7.20pm @ Etihad Stadium

[Dixie Flatline]

Changes and preview here.

 

[OzJohnnie]

Jeager bomb!!!!!

 

[Max Powers]

4 quarter smashing please.

 

[VandoHawk]

Out: Duryea, Miles
In: Stewart, Puopolo

Don't play Jaeger even if we all want to see him. 6 or so games at BH level will get confidence into his body better than 2 games (at Etihad).

 

[WWSD]

Jeager bomb!!!!!

It's at Etihad Stadium which is a hard surface. So no chance he plays. The best thing for him is in the VFL to finish off the year and for Box Hill to go deep into the finals. He gets to play about 5-6 games.

Let's hope we can keep the Blues streak going, ain't gonna be easy though. Grab a win and hopefully keep things interesting for Round 23

Agreed 100% Vando. Although I would not mind Morrison or Hanrahan being considered for a game either.

Mods re-name this thread 'should jaeger play against carltank?'

Game holds no other distinguishable features worth discussion.

 

[Cynic]

I think we'll lose this.

Carlton will be desperate to take us and I can't see us having the same motivation.

Plus they won't want the spoon despite historical evidence.

 

[MinerBoy]

For the love of everything good in the world let us hold on to one streak we have established over the years.

[Bumps"N"Grins]

My kids don't understand the concept of losing to Carlton they didn't even know it was a thing. Look at fixture mark down four points, they know nothing else.

Get him!!

 

[savagelunchbox]

Get some forward structure, ya know, playing to THEIR strengths and not the opposition's, and canning that outdated zone defence shit; Carlton won't get close.

Can't see that happening though.

Carlton don't have a forward line. Casboult is a hack and Curnow is playing high at this stage of his career.

 

[Agent Smith]

It doesn't matter about ladder positions. I don't want to hear about we HOPE or we SHOULD, this is the MUST win game of the year. We do not lose against this vermin. Make it happen Hawks!

Oh, and JOM will play seniors, starting with the Elim Final.

 

[Kil Phearns]

The following sequence of results gets us in...
Port Adelaide d Bulldogs
GWS d West Coast
Gold Coast d Essendon
Hawthorn d Carlton
Hawthorn d Bulldogs
Richmond d St Kilda
Adelaide d West Coast

Out - Doc

In - Poppy/Stewart

Port Adelaide d Bulldogs
GWS d West Coast
Gold Coast d Essendon
Hawthorn d Carlton
Hawthorn d Bulldogs
Richmond d St Kilda
Adelaide d West Coast

Really? Gold coast over Essendon is an upset but the rest are reasonable.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Port Adelaide d Bulldogs
GWS d West Coast
Gold Coast d Essendon
Hawthorn d Carlton
Hawthorn d Bulldogs
Richmond d St Kilda
Adelaide d West Coast

Of those Gold Coast beating Essendon seems the most unlikely given what a rabble the Suns are.

 

[marklar]

Hodge is 14-2 against Carlton in his career, equal best winning record with GCS, we will not lose this one.

 

[cryptor]

Would like to keep the streak going.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Miles out for Poppy or Stewart is probably the only change I would make. I'd bring Jaeger in if he couldn't play VFL finals, but considering he can leave him at that level and get more mileage into the body.
