Preview Round 24, 2024: Hawks v North, 12:30pm Sat 24th Aug, UTAS - NOTE NEW START TIME

[The Chad and I]

We’ve got some quality depth atm.

I’d be happy with any combination of about 6 players coming in for Day and Scrimshaw.

 

[The Chad and I]

If we win this week we will have doubled last seasons wins.
7 vs 14

Incredible improvement.

 

[Bugs1977]

Would Sam roll the dice and play Wingard for 3 qtrs before being subbed out? Chad has that xfactor as a fwd-mid. It is a big gamble but could pay off

Cj for Scrimshaw
Wingard or Ward for Day

Curiously asking when is the last game Chad has actually played?

 

[caseman2]

Obviously losing Day is a big loss so I suggest we change things up in the middle as we haven't got a like for like replacement.
I would bring Maginness in and and revert to having him tag. He can take LDU this week and then in the elimination final he goes to Treloar with Nash going to the Bont.

Newk, Worpel and Mackenzie to be our primary ball winners.

No.

 

[theiaofseed]

Ward/Maginness Serong/Mitchell

It's nice to have depth to bring right in

 

[Hawkspot]

If we want to come in to finals with confidence we should be winning this by 8+ goals.

 

[I wanna pash Nash]

I don't care how well Seamus Mitchell has played on the VFL. He always looks out of his depth in the big league.

Haven't seen to much of Serong

Assuming we will be without Day and Scrimshaw, I'd assume CJ comes back in and either Maginess or Ward.

Woukd prefer Maginness whose impressed me in the games he's played this season

Regarding Seamus, you must have missed last year. Played very well in more than a few games. I don't think he comes in due to structure and he was still burning some of his disposals for Box Hill which was my biggest issue with him this year in the seniors.

I like Maginness for Day as he's a little more of a utility than Ward. If Ward was BOG at Box Hill you would have found a way to get him in but he wasn't to my eye.

Serong is the obvious Scrim replacement if he doesn't get up for this week.

I'd be interested to see what they'd do match up wise to fit CJ in which isn't out of the question either. You'd think CJ probably has more of a role come finals (if we win) so I can see why they'd want him in over Serong.

Clueless.

 

[cs61]

Clueless.

Was a player that looked at home at AFL almost immediately last year, both with and without the ball was really important. This year has been more challenging, and interruptions pre-season again didn't help. But to say he hasn't offered anything at AFL level in his short career is a very poor call.

 

[Sixpence]

Would absolutely love to see Wingard run out for us again, but at this point, Ward, Maginness and Mitchell are more deserving of a call up.

 

[Billyc]

No chance we will give Wingard a charity game while a loss could still cost finals.

Plenty of guys in solid form who can step in if Day and Scrimshaw need to miss.

What message would that send everyone playing at Box Hill that is performing better than Chad?

[SJT76]

Serong for Scrim.

Day is an interesting one. If CJ’s fit, he should be back, but neither CJ nor Harry are inside clearance mids, so I’d want one of Ward or Finn in as well. Don’t want to drop Harry, but I can see it as a possibility.

This.
As much as I'd love to see Chad light up a final. It won't happen now. His last calf rip has almost ended his season.

 

[Gene Simmons]

No wingard, even in vfl he doesnt look like levels above

As good as the fairytale sounds, Wingard can't even string games tobgether in the VFL AND playing in the senior team would be a HUGE risk even as a sub..

 

[Changa10]

Imagine we'll be without Day, definitely, and possibly Scrim. In that case I think we go:

In: CJ, Maginness
Out: Scrim, Day

Maginness for his versatility, CJ because he can play up the ground and we can shuffle Weddle to a more accountable defensive role.

Seamus was apparently outstanding but I'm not sure how we fit him in.

I'm a big Seamus fan, but who comes out for him? He's competing with Amon, Dimma and Impey isn't he? Can't see Seamus coming in for Scrimmers personally, but I wouldn't be totally against it.

Serong is the logical choice for Scrimmers. North's forward line this week had talls in Larkey & Teakle, with Zurhaar & Curtis as their 3rd tall types. Can Weddle handle Teakle or Larkey? Frost takes one of course, but do we need Serong or even Phillips for the other?

Day doesn't play, whether he is deemed ok or not, surely. So, we should be replacing him with an inside mid. Finn, Ward, or HH. North's mids, apart from LDU are on the smaller side, so maybe Ward. Or do we bring Finn in and see if he can rack them up as inside mid freewheeling like has done at Box Hill?

 

[LRobbo]

We should flog this mob who look shot, Comben their best defender won’t play and Sheezel their best player shouldn’t either.
Don’t want to give Carlton a reasonable % to chase down so winning by 60+ should be the aim and achievable as we are currently blowing ordinary teams off the park
The Blues will have their hands full with the saints anyways

CJ for Day
Serong for Scrim

 

[Nugett]

Wouldn’t surprise me if we manage Breust as well, after hearing Sam’s presser last night. So can imagine Maginness, CJ and Ward coming in.

Maginness or Morrison to be sub.

Sam actually said Bruest may get a full game next week, depending on how he pulls up.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Need to belt North. Carlton a good chance to upset the Saints.
Day & Scrim I’m guessing will miss.
Carry on the winning momentum into finals and hope we don’t get battered by injury in the process.

 

[MuzzHawk]

All really depends on the outs at this point and what risks we’re prepared to take with Scrimshaw.

Day should be out, and I think any of Finn, Ward, Seamus or CJ could come in.

I don’t mind Seamus in to play on Curtis, with Hardwick going to Zurhaar. Or Hardwick can go forward to allow Moore to spend more time in the midfield as cover for Day.

North’s backline isn’t great so if we can win the clearances we should get plenty of scoring opportunity. Can see Chol kicking a bag. Hopefully Sheezel doesn’t play.
Richmond were able to get their contested marking going which allowed them to slow the game down - North don’t really have that from what I’ve seen.

[triple treat]

didn’t Larky cop a knock to his knee or ankle? Might pull up a bit sore, if that’s the case and Scrimmers doesn’t get up should we go with more run out off the backline, CJ?

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Day and Scrim out for sure.
Finn (LDU tag) and Ward

Assuming everyone else if fit, they should be playing and hopefully we win and they can all have a week off next week.

 

[TONYC3163]

If Scrimshaw misses and with Sicily still nursing his shoulder, Serong would have to come in wouldn’t he?
