[WWSD]

Shiels might get a farewell game.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Farewell for Shielsy this week.

Speaking of farewells, I am looking forward to the Hawks playing 11 home games at the G as soon as the new Tassie team is announced.

We have milked that deal as well as anyone could possibly imagine.

 

[TylerDurden]

CJ and Lewis possibly in.

Butler had 0 impact today. Would be on thin ice. Impey bog average.

Does Lynch come in for a ruck chop out?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Shiels has earned a farewell game - Impey takes a rest. Blanck in for Jecka.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Butler had 0 impact today. Would be on thin ice.

Disagree - had a good game for mine.

 

[TylerDurden]

Shiels has earned a farewell game - Impey takes a rest. Blanck in for Jecka.

Jeka stays.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Disagree - had a good game for mine.

I’m just watching the game now and have already seen him do 3 classy things in the first quarter.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Let’s a get a ****ing win, we owe these pricks.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

I’m just watching the game now and have already seen him do 3 classy things in the first quarter.

Started really well but faded, pressure was pretty good.

 

[The hands of stone]

I’m just watching the game now and have already seen him do 3 classy things in the first quarter.

Needs to play the last two games imo.
Will be a gun

 

[Flukey!]

Blanck will come in.
And CJ.

 

[KermitJagger]

Wouldn't mind giving Impey an extended off-season to see what Saunders is capable of in that role. Has turned in a few good games now.

Beat me to it RB

Yeah, I reckon we just have to have a look at Saunders now.

 

[SJT76]

I’m just watching the game now and have already seen him do 3 classy things in the first quarter.

He faded out of it a bit, but started really well

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Jeka stays.

Don’t know how else you squeeze Blanck back in - who will be vital with Lynch/Riewoldt to take on. DGB should get another game - I don’t think constantly having him come in and out will be benenficial.

 

[TylerDurden]

Agree. Good problem to have.

 

[chopflop]

Big question for mine - who does Finn go to?

Hardwick to Bolton?
Finn to Prestia? Rioli?

 

[Stottzy]

I'd like to see Lynch in. Been playing well for Box Hill and just have Big Boy up forward. Need to see if he is capable to be a 1st Ruckman. Shiels in for a farewell game. Not fussed if Lewis is rested for rest of year. Jiath in of course.

In: Shiels, Lynch, Jiath

Out. Butler, Serong, Blanck

Sub: Impey

 

[Stottzy]

Big question for mine - who does Finn go to?

Hardwick to Bolton?
Finn to Prestia? Rioli?

Surely has to go to Prestia. Probably their most important player.

A good test for Finn. Tiges will not play nice to a tagger.

 

[Jazzfan]

I'd be shocked if Jeka is dropped given what he's showing. Needs to play the remaining two games.

I get your point with DGB, but the awkward reality is that Jeka and Blanck are right now ahead of him. They're proper key defender size also.

Our backline mix in 2023 is going to be really interesting, it's hard to be certain where DGB fits. Morris was playing great footy as a medium, lock down defender too... and then you have Day, CJ and Scrim who are a good size... Sicily obviously. Hardwick.

Gee, Frosty is probably depth in 2023.

 

[TylerDurden]

Big question for mine - who does Finn go to?

Hardwick to Bolton?
Finn to Prestia? Rioli?

Rioli for me.
Prestia is a butcher.
