Preview Round 22, 2023 : Hawks V Dogs, UTAS 1:10pm Sunday 13th Aug

[Roddy]

On paper the bulldogs have one of the best 22's and should be a top 4 team . Luckily for us though they're terribly coached which gives us a half a chance.

They've just seemed very inconsistent to me. Down Tassie I rate us better than a sneaky chance. In Melbourne, probably not.

On the MCG I would rate a very very good chance.

We seem to play them there very rarely.

Just checked, a grand total of twice in the last 11 years. Only one of which was a H&A game.

We have not played in Brisbane since 2008

that is not correct. I attended Hawks v Lions at the Gabba just prior to covid. We started very well, but were run over in the end.

I know we haven’t played in Brisbane much, but it can’t be that long surely

2019

Yep. 2018 iirc.

Edit: and 2019 as well.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Apart from those times we played in Brisbane, we've never played in Brisbane.

They've gone away from the ballistic-style strategy that won them the 2016 premiership. Moreover, they tend to lack cohesion between each of their thirds, then muck around with it a bit too much in the midfield, allowing the opposition's defence time to repel attacks.

They should watch what we did to Collingwood last week and adopt it as their blueprint.

Is that how they won that premiership?

Manic pressure, effectual forward-entries, yah.

 

[barbster]

I’m summing it’s Amon in, Smitchell out and we back in the team that won last week.
Would love to see Serong get a run, but unless we’re resting Weddell I can’t see it happening.
Nice problems to have

I agree but for the love of god Freo better beat the WCE first.

There is no way WC will beat Freo. They may come close, but they aren’t in it to win it.

 

[TylerDurden]

BMac and Seamus the carry overs.

 

[TylerDurden]

DGB not playing BH. Injured??

2019

Agree I was at that game as well unfortunately.

I’m tipping West Coast to win

 

[Dewwwww]

DGB not playing BH. Injured??

Might be being added to the seniors emergency list? Have heard someone was walking around this morning before the flight to Launceston with a sore foot. Breust possibly in doubt for tomorrow

 

[Nugett]

I’m currently in Tassie for personal reasons, thinking of giving myself a break and go watch the match tomorrow

For Ryan?
I gathered from someone in the Captain’s run that he’s not present.

Can someone confirm

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

With how the 8 is shaping up, the Dogs are going to be desperate to win this. Will be red hey.

If we win, it's a double win as we have their 2nd and 3rd round draft picks.

Carn Hawks!!!
