Good selection changes, Hamling has actually been pretty decent when he's played this season, happy to have him play his potentially last game for the club.

Yes, I will enjoy Jackson getting rag dolled by their monster ruck while Reidy watches on the sidelines. Tbh, watching the triple Js in the forwardline was getting boring to watch anyway.

Oh boy am I excited to watch forward Cox.

Highly doubt Jackson will get beaten.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Probably more likely after his goal that Cox agreed to do it. JL is too timid to make a player do something he doesn't want. Terrified of losing them.

There's not nearly enough midfielders in that team...

Players also just need to be open to being thrown around, they shouldn't be upset if the coach wants them to move around the field.

Fair enough too.
These days the players are pretty meek.
Logue saw the same, started questioning contract.
Guess it’s the last game, just have fun.

TEAM v HAWTHORN
IN: Michael Walters, Joel Hamling
OUT: Jaeger O’Meara, Bailey Banfield

As expected. Reidy just travelling for the experience from the looks of it...unless Jai's not 100% to get over the cork by Saturday of course.

Joel Hamling inside mid. I am here for it.

Pathetic by both parties I reckon.

Everyone always banging on about needed a big body mid after all. JL listened.

 

[FreoRicci]

Erasmus nor Brodie doesn’t come in for JOM.

Aish, Young, MJ as back ups. Not really promising

 

[Carnthedockers]

Confirmation Cox will play forward this week Balls on the line for me.

 

[Joao]

I think our forwardline will function better with another actual target up there instead of Banfield or Corbett.

Wonder who gets number 1? Amiss or Cox?

 

[FreoRicci]

Confirmation Cox will play forward this week

Confirmation he asked for a trade? Cheeky joke…

 

[Joao]

Hamling to kick 6 IMO.

JL really loves a straight faced lie to the media. Asked after the game if we’d mix it up this week and he denied it

Good.
**** The West Media.

 

[muzzington]

Oh ho! Uncooked Hamling!

The guy seems so sweet and innocent but there's an assassin in there somewhere.

 

[Perfect Purple]

He’ll be fine. It’s a very important game for Joel.

What I don't understand is why don't these backmen like Logue, Cox and Clark want to play forward? Maybe it's just me, but when I played footy as a kid I just wanted to go forward and kick goals. Maybe that's cause mum used to give me $1 for every goal I kicked. You are on a hiding to nothing in the backline. Always under the pump, and then you look like an idiot if your opponent kicks a bag. As a forward it is usually your teammates who get the blame for their shit delivery or lack of supply.

 

[E Shed]

I don’t give a rats who plays where I just don’t want to see the slow, keepy off crap we dished up last week again.
If we play like mice & get beaten by a younger team playing fast footy my head may explode.

 

[Perfect Purple]

I see Jai Serong is in the Hawthorn line up.

Caleb will be pleased.

 

[muzzington]

He’ll be fine. It’s a very important game for Joel.

He’ll be our best defender/inside mid.
