Preview Round 23, 2024 : Hawks v Tigers, 3.20pm Sun 18th Aug, MCG

[TONYC3163]

Playing bottom teams going into finals can do the same.

So…..to make it crystal clear.

No one’s getting “managed”.

No one’s getting a surprise debut or charity game.

Okay?

 

[madhawksfan]

Good. As it should be for a team in our position. Nothing guaranteed and why mess with a winning formula. We don’t have a bunch of old blokes on their last legs who need managing. Continuity is king.

Should be aiming for, and achieving at least an 8-10 goal win. Yes, they will probably come hard at us, and that will happen in September against much better opposition.

Would be good to get Day back in top form after a quiet couple of weeks.

 

[DogDaySonny]

I think he’s bluffing. Day, Sicily, CJ, Gunston, Bruest, Ginni and Scrimmers all to be rested.

Morrison said he knew he was playing earlier in the week yet we still named CJ for Sunday's game and didn't say anything about it until final teams were named an hour before the game.

Good chance we'll see someone else out with "soreness" as a late change again.

 

[RCAB]

There's the confirmation - go as hard as we can with our best team

Revolutionary

Heard that too. Ducks and Drakes?

Maybe Morrison was originally coming in for someone else - someone who's been down for the last few weeks, but passed a last minute (Friday) fitness test. Maybe someone who had to be managed, and then subbed out?

During match simulation last Friday, both Frenchie and Harry spent time in the main squad for the hit out, with CJ spending time on the sidelines. Sam had match committee on Friday lunch time, where HMo would have been told that he was in for the game.

I think he said he knew he'd be playing the day before, but I reckon they were still hopeful CJ would get up and gave him every chance to do so.

 

[earthworms]

scary game, but tigers have no teeth without dusty, baker, lynch.
get a tag on taranto and their whole team shuts down.
chol to kick

 

[TylerDurden]

I'd be happy if Taranto had the ball.

The only person I trust is Fear the Beard. And reckons we’ll be resting plenty. Told me personally.

They're all in the Trade and Draft thread. So would we.

How is Meek looking? On the coverage of the Carlton game they mentioned he got a corkie

And some are cheering for us to keep out Carlton...

 

[Paul Kersey]

They’ll give Richmond a flogging imo.

Danger game

 

[Bugs1977]

Looks like Sheezel's season could very well be over and won't play this week nursing an ankle injury. Obviously need to despatch the Tigers first but if Harry does miss the following week that's a huge out for them.

 

[spudmaster]

Didn't we just flog this lot in Dusty's 300th a few minutes ago?

Yes, but they’re a much improved team since then…………..apparently.

 

[Ka Norkers]

Morrison is playing, so my guess is Jiath hasn't got up.
