Preview Round 4, 2019: St Kilda v Hawthorn, 14 April 2019, 3.20pm at Marvel Stadium

[cryptor]

I'd be surprised if Puopolo was dropped this week. I was at the ground on Sunday and I'm not sure if it could be seen on the TV but regardless of what his stats sheet looks like he was playing a good defensive game. Lots of sprints to close down North's space and create space for his teammates. I reckon he played his role well enough to hold his spot.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I don't understand the logic of refusing to turn up and attend Hawthorn games at Marvel due to being anti a stadium that came in 20 years ago, I'm not the biggest fan of Marvel either, but I'm unsure what boycotting achieves other than Hawthorn having less support on game day.

Seriously how good is it having BOTH Jaegers up and firing this year

I didn't see Jaeger2 out there at all in the final quarter against the Dogs, probably part of the reason we fell over. Might have picked up a niggle?

He was consistently held off the ball, so much so BT actually called it.

This. Game plan relies on inferred pressure. Fast guys who chase and rush an oppo defender are critical to its success.

Ben McEvoy's 100th game for Hawthorn after playing 91 games for our opponent.

 

[PoOs]

Judging on how hawks website works, maybe Ross in, but for who?

 

[4THAWN]

After their loss in perth, saints are facing first real test of their season. They are in a similar boat to us and really need a good start to the season for best chance at finals. Dropping to 2-2 from 2-0 would be bad for them so expect them to play hard. Nearly beat us at etihad late last year when we did have mitchell, going to need to perform better to win this time. Danger game.

Thank **** the Melbourne Victory game is on at the same time, and I will be going there.

I'll keep an eye out for the Hawthorn coloured **** Marvel banner at the Victory game then!

We play 5 Sunday games and a Monday game to start the year.

Totally admit it's a bit selfish, but those Sunday matches are prime time Saturday night for us here. Great for viewing with the tipping crew. Fair amount of beer consumption takes place

You don't carry a banner...you live the banner. You ARE the banner

 

[Jaeger]

Saints always seem to play well against us... or we play poorly against them... or both

Haha, I get the opposite when I try to watch the NBA. I have to have my phone on at 11am at my desk.

I thought it was only interstate trips that they wear that?

Gold with brown V.

Worn at interstate and Marvel games.

Thanks

Would hope we can lift our game from last week. Aaron hall was threatening all day had 4 shots at goal could've easily made us pay for a lack of midfield accountability.

Those stats are wrong. He’s obviously had 87 disposals!

 

[Far Cough]

Kilpatrick a better prospect for mine. Meadows was just ok.

yeah killer getting better with every game

I thought he got a sent off for rough conduct on MacRae
