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

[Cyril says]

He was laying big tackles on Curnow on the weekend too. Your only doing that if your confident your shoulder can withstand physical contact. He's certainly nowhere near as immobile with it than a few weeks back.

It was a shoulder less tackle. He basically ran in to him in such a clever way that Curnow was bowled over and lost the ball.

Sam will have our boys up and about.

This could be the last time we play on the MCG this year... until the Grand Final that is.

If we finish 6th or above we’ll play a finals game at the MCG. Even a finish of 7th or 8th we are a good chance of playing the bulldogs there.

 

[Cyril says]

I’ll be heading in with the godson, big hawks kid that he is, shame about his Dads team. Cheeky pint or two at Stomping ground and then a wander up, cannot wait

Converting the opposition’s progeny is gods work - I am mightily impressed by you.

I curry favour with gifts and playing the song, which he loves

I was wondering what he was doing at the time, now it makes sense.

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Could it be Jamie Uhr-Henry? Played at East Ringwood then Oakleigh Chargers, but has been playing Basketball for Dandy Rangers since then. Was always a much better Basketballer than Footballer.

Probably you are right.
I can see the resemblance.

 

[JZedd]

Assuming he plays I reckon this will be a great game for Will to get some form going. A 10 goal win + no injuries would trump a 100 point win and a couple of injuries.

Have you tested this theory.??

Is this the Cat B rookie badketball someone mentioned in another thread?

Yes it is. Just had it confirmed

 

[mustang]

He already played for box hill this year. Is just coming back from injury

That's good hopefully we liked what we saw in him as a player going forward.

 

[mustang]

If Sheezel is put to pasture, we'll be ok.

Takes away them beating the dogs to this round.

 

[MistyAvalon]

ha ha not only talk of making finals but of making the MCG..now that is the spirit

 

[Walshawk]

Strange that Wingard is ‘managed’ out of the VFL team, the week after a bye and after only one game back from injury.

Gone?

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Gone?

No. Managed.
Very keen to finish out the year well at Box Hill and provide spark and leadership to the kids.

Put him on ice for the next 3 weeks in case we need a different look in the finals. Could be a super-sub if we need his big game experience.

No way. Would have no confidence in his body being able to come in and stand up to the rigours of AFL. Particularly if needed early in the game due to an injury sub. While I like the idea of him having a farewell game against North, I don't think we can afford that. I would hope same is more ruthless than that in the pursuit of performance. Let's see.

 

[Gut Runner]

Is Dunstall Club already full? Can't seem to get a reserved ticket...

 

[Fastback]

Put him on ice for the next 3 weeks in case we need a different look in the finals. Could be a super-sub if we need his big game experience.

If he was coming off 10 decent senior games then yes but he hasn't played at the level for a year or been part of the new improved system at all - massive risk. I think he might be done.

 

[grumbleguts]

Umpire Chris Donlon's final game tomorrow. Shame, he is one of the better ones. Increases the ratio of Mollison/Neutral slightly

 

[Ned Ryerson]

No. Managed.

Great clubman and I hope he stays with us beyond his playing days.

He's done.

I'm sure there are behind the scenes and cultural reasons why he was given another year but from a purely playing perspective this year has gone exactly as most of us would have predicted for Chad unfortunately (more soft tissue injuries and ever reducing output in the times when he isn't injured).

A real pity, he has such talent but we never got to see it in a sustained manner at the Hawks due to his body breaking down before it's time.

 

[moginie]

Great clubman and I hope he stays with us beyond his playing days.

From what I've heard, he will be.
