Game Day Round 22, 2024: Carlton v Hawthorn, Sun 11 August, 1.10pm AEST @ MCG

[Argy]

The match will be won and lost in the head of the players

I thought it was at the 'G?

 

[StillAtLarge]

Curb Cripps & Curnow and drag Weitering away from the contest.
Easier said than done

Cincotta as a sub for them is an odd choice. Thought he’d be tagging Day from the bounce seeing how much Day struggled with the tag last week

Hewett may play a run with role, he did the job on daicos last week

He is not an impact player, he is a diesel engine. Just keeps plodding along.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Haha just trying to work out what time to leave to get a decent seat. 90,000 and it's bit of shit fight, where 70,000 makes things much more relaxed

Still a reasonable amount of walk up GA available

 

[Sturty]

Nerves are hitting now
CMON BOYS GET IT DONE

 

[Paul Kersey]

I’m at the ground and it’s looking like Harry in for CJ

Nailed it!

 

[Nugett]

CJ out with soreness, Morrison to take his place. Breust is sub

Not if he ends up playing well! Hopefully the ankle troubles him enough that Weddle can contain him and then run off him.

Left it too late either way. Do not like a 1.10pm game.

hopefully you'll still have that opinion at the end of the game

I've been to a few Blues v Hawks games live the last few years and it's usually been Wietering, Saad and Walsh who have cut us up.

Weitering in particular is a problem as whoever he plays on in our forward line (Dear, Gunston,next) he will have a big strength advantage so we should be wary of his presence when directing ball to his opponent.

He will go to Dear as he will view him as the least threatening of our forwards so he can wander around intercepting. Gunners goes to him forcing him away from Dear as much as possible, even if all he does is make dummy leads to get him out of the area. We need to isolate Chol/McGovern and Dear/Kemp. Those 2 can cause problems without Weitering around to support.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ridiculously nervous for this game!

The team have well and truly met my expectations for the year already but it would be such a great experience for our young team to play in finals so for that reason I really, really want us to win today.

GO HAWKS!!!

 

[TheFourPillars]

I am bloody nervous. It's the nerves of expectation.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

If we kick to Weitering all day we'll lose this.

Intercept marks against us are such a clear indicator of how well we are playing/absorbing pressure, etc

 

[Bugs1977]

hopefully you'll still have that opinion at the end of the game

We want to beat them with there best players in there

CJ out Morrison in
Breust Sub

Noooooooi
Shut me up Harry , please.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

I don't usually like playing a forward in a negating role but today is probably one of those times when it is necessary.

I would use Gunners in that role as he has shown the ability to keep a key back accountable as he still has the smarts and ability to get loose and kick multiple goals.

This is the play. Id be pushing Chol up a bit too where he can use his athleticism. If we can force their talls out from where they need to be our smalls will cause serious damage if we bring it to ground often enough.

 

[Buttonsticher]

Me too. Mayb we could slip a couple of Narcan patches on him to negate the jabs he gets

Farken stupid afl app

Blame this bloke.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Sorry for CJ and hope he recovers quickly.

Harry is very reliable and will be trying his heart out. Has been in terrific form in the VFL so I'm happy to see him coming in.

We may lose a bit of speed across the ground but Harry gets into good spots regularly and is a smart footballer. He's also in ripping form. Knows the system and structure it shouldn't affect us too much.

Tried booking tickets on Thursday and member replacement seats were exhausted, as was GA. Should have just done a walk up, but will watch on Kayo instead. What a perfect day. Hope Hawks are switched on from the start and can deliver us a win.
