Preview Round 24, 2023 : Hawthorn v Fremantle, MCG 1:45pm August 26th

[Roddy]

Unpopular opinion but Cam Mckenzie will overtake Jai Newcombe as our best midfielder in 3 years. Brownlow within 6 years.

Whatever the case, our midfield is looking scary moving into the future. Everything’s being built around it. You can tell what position our coach used to play….

 

[dropbear101]

he'll tag brayshaw. everyone tags brayshaw. its why hes had a down year this year in comparison to last year.

and last time we played you, mitchell didn't tag brayshaw because he was having a down year. probably cause everyone was tagging him. then he got off the chain, had 34 and kicked 2.

so yeah, he'll tag brayshaw.

 

[FB19]

I simply want to win for one reason. To have Hutchy ask superflog his view once we have won as many games as last year. As some fun listen to the last few minutes of the MMM midweek rub and listen to him squirm re Norf and saying he is sick of all the tanking talk.

Who are the 16 other taggers in the AFL?

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Went to Waverley today and…

Sticks participated in the main training today, Newk was there and playing as well.

DGB left the training midway.
Amon went upstairs 10-15 minutes earlier than his mates(maybe sore or just a precaution).
Butler is limping after the training and got some cold pack on his upper leg.

Morris looks injured again and stopped participating around midway of the training.

 

[Hot Winter Knights]

DGB out this week according to afl.com.au. Calf strain.

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Millsie69]

Hawks spearhead to miss again, gun mid set to return

Mitch Lewis will miss the Hawks' final-round clash against the Dockers

www.afl.com.au

Both Jai's into the 22. Husthwaite retains spot. No Lewis or DGB. Ryan likely to come in.

So that's DGB confirmed out.

Newcombe, Serong and Ryan in.

Wonder who the other 2 outs will be?

Likely to be Ramsden and Long, you'd think.

 

[Platten44]

Would play Meek v his old team

 

[Newmo89]

Ryan looks to be back in the fold for this weekend.
DGB has a calf niggle and won't play this weekend.
Jai Serong will be in the 22
Henry Hustwaite will be in the 22 as well as per Sam's press conference.

 

[SSSSSS]

Damn. Wanted to see DGB back up his performance from last week.

You have talked me into trading Brayshaw out of my supercoach final !

 

[Newmo89]

I'm expecting the ins to be
- Serong, Ryan and Newcombe
Outs to be DGB, Long and Ramsden

For the first time.. ever? I'm disappointed to see DGB go out of the side. Things started to click for him last week!

 

[FB19]

Seems like HH and Serong stay and DGB injured. Doubt Ryan comes in if he hasn’t really trained and he lost weight (the worst thing for him clearly)! I expect Jai for Long. Does anyone get a farewell game like Saunders did? I guess that was a debut I don’t see anyone in that boat. Would like stephens to come in even as sub. Would give ramsden another go.

 

[Mopar Jason]

IN : Ryan, Newcombe
OUT : DGB, Long, Ramsden

Just Kozi and Ryan as KFs. Maybe Scrim or Serong to go forward.

 

[Siri]

Fantastic to see Serong get another crack. Looked impressive when he came on. Great stuff.

 

[perrdan86]

Just Kozi and Ryan as KFs. Maybe Scrim or Serong to go forward.

I'm sure they'll want to see what Serong can do down back considering that's where he's been playing at Box Hill.

 

[barbster]

Damn. Wanted to see DGB back up his performance from last week.

He’ll hopefully have his chance next week.

 

[Mrzohs]

I was just about to post on this.
The 3 mobile targets and 1 ruck has had success vs good teams we know this!
I am a bit surprised DGB has been left out with one match to go. I thought he has showed steady improvement and crashing the odd pack, although Lever did have a picnic last game.

I still think Kosi best role is up the ground or as the 2nd Ruck. He is not suited as a deep forward role, use his aerobic power and quick hands up the ground. This will be a watch this space if we go in as selected with the 2 forwards and 1 ruck.

DGB is listed as injured. I think Ryan will play as the deep forward and as you said Kozi plays up the ground. Really looking forward to seeing how Hustwaite backs up after last week's impressive performance. At 195 cm maybe he can go forward with some stints in the midfield. Same with Serong who potentially is a long-term KB. Day can go forward. Mitch may throw the magnets up in the air and see where they land.

 

[Mojo]

Reckon we're a chance to rotate Day through the forward line?
