Preview Round 4, 2024 : Collingwood v Hawks, 5:10pm Sunday 7th, Adelaide Oval

[Walshawk]

Best info I can get atm...

Fence to fence ..
Adelaide Oval 167 m × 123 m
M.C.G 171 m x 146 m

Adelaide certainly a lot wider than it used to be, but still not as 'circular' as the MCG..

That is Adelaide playing area and MCG fence to fence. MCG goal to goal is 161m

Does that mean MCG width is 136m?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Good changes.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Training watchers, how's Ramma been looking, in pre-season and so far this season?

He has definitely put on some size over the summer still slight for the ruck position but doesn't get pushed out of the way as often as he used to in a forward line contest. Of course, he would be pushed out of the way by mature defenders (May etc.) in the AFL so still a work in progress.

 

[Walshawk]

So the colour the way it is in pic. You would assume they have given away the sub in hustwaite

No. The others on the bench are this week’s ins. But yes, HH the likely sub. Great changes.

 

[Walshawk]

Does that mean MCG width is 136m?

Yep

 

[VandoHawk]

Very good changes.
Mitchell in lets Amon move to wing.
Finn (tagging Daicos) and Butler in forward.
Ramsden for Lewis letting Chol play deepest.
Experience into the next generation coming through.

 

[thehardway]

All 4 ins and Hust named on the I/C. Wonder who will be the sub.

They obviously feel he's ready to some extent, so just needs games under his belt. Mitch going down (again) may be somewhat of a blessing in disguise.

Have said before, if we can develop him into a new version of Haley, that'd be a massive plus.

A much harder edge this week I reckon with Shammy and Butler in, we need it

He is certainly headed in the right direction there. He is a better forward than ruck but so was Hale.

 

[peetoo]

I wonder if all emergencies will travel? Maybe Day too to catch up with mates

They used to do this for schoey

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Wiz wearing a moonboot in the training this morning.
Seems still in a high spirit.
He says he is hoping to be back in 4 weeks.

I’m scratching my head more at wtf is on his other foot

 

[Max Powers]

Wee Baby Seamus is back!!

Among those not named in the 23, At least Day and Serong are at the airport.

 

[Tall poppy Syndrome]

Hockey fights are quite bizarre...

Such a stylized ritual, it's almost like watching pantomime, or kabuki...or some video game where it suddenly goes FIGHT-MODE!!!

Even reminds me of the old Warner Bros cartoons, with the sheepdog and the coyote, clocking-on and off to continue their punch-on

I love the way they had a stat for second fastest fight at the venue.

 

[barbster]

In: Ramsden, Mitchell, Butler, Maginess
Out: Lewis, Watson, Breust, Morrison (unlucky)

Called it

 

[eldorado]

Wee Baby Seamus!

I like!

 

[thehardway]

Morrison would be feeling unloved at the moment.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Morrison a little unlucky but overall pretty good changes.

I like Wee Baby Seamus in the side, he was good last year. Not only lightning quick but hard as nails as well.

Butler has a big chance to cement a spot on the forward line as well, hopefully he can carry over his Box Hill form.

Feels like a big generational change is going on this year, the last of the 3 peat Hawks in Bruest and Gunston not being named.

 

[Mrzohs]

A steady eye on the future. Let's hope all the boys turn it on and put some real presurre on for spots.

Must work on those first quarters have conceded 4,5,7 goals to start the year.

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Heard Ginni will be wearing this Sunday so the umpires can distinguish between his head and body when he gets tackled.

 

[threesixpio]

Seamus in. Good.

 

[threesixpio]

Butler as sub I’m assuming ?

 

[tommyk72]

Very very inexperienced team. Really excited to see who stands up and grabs their opportunity. Butler and Ramsden particularly.

Get these kids to 75 games asap!
