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

[smeltitdeltit]

Senior players who have the runs on the board don’t get dropped after a couple of average games.

Especially if they’re carrying niggles in said poor games

 

[WWSD]

Move Amon & Weddle onto the wing. We currently don’t have an elite wingman.

Hardwick, Mitchell, Impey and D’Ambrosio are enough small defenders. Amon is being wasted in defence. Weddle has the capacity to play as a utility.

 

[hk89]

Can you still get jam tins?

I think Meek should be congratulated if he can find one to jump over.

Shows resourcefulness.

Agreed, but if he does find one, I suggest building a few of these instead of jumping over them:

May be our only hope. A miracle if we get within 10 goals given the side named.

 

[TylerDurden]

Dimma will play fwd, with Seamus back.

I'd say that killing our opposition is a trifle extreme.

 

[Newmo89]

Dimma will play fwd, with Seamus back.

Based on the team run/match simulation yesterday, both Dimma and Shammy were in the backline.
I'd imagine Dimma goes to Elliott and Shammy goes to Hill. Other option for Hill would be Impey.

That's interesting.

So fwds are:
Chol, Ramma, Ginni, Moore, Butler CMac31, and assuming Finn if Daicos is half back?

 

[Topiary]

I believe this will happen.

That is the way they lined up - Finn was in the half forward role and one would infer he goes to Nick Daicos.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Would prefer Hardwick stay in defence with Amon moving to the wing.

Elliot, Hill, Schultz, and JDG (when resting) will need to be covered by Mitchell, Impey, D'Ambrosio and Amon it seems.

Though I suppose Hardwick and Maynard going head to head would be a great contest. Or he could do a job on Quaynor.

 

[Dewnior]

Let’s hope Meek practiced jumping over a jam tin this week.

And let's hope he takes the angry pills before the game starts and not at quarter time.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

That is the way they lined up - Finn was in the half forward role and one would infer he goes to Nick Daicos.

I have always liked Finn as fwd / midfielder (Centre) / being a defender. Really stood out in this position as a JNR as well.

 

[bigmaxi]

Has Delicate Dees posted? always like to see which way he is leaning.

 

[Newmo89]

Based on the Barra's Yarma (Captain's run today)
Hardwick with the backs.
Amon with the backs.
Finn with the forwards.
Massimo with the mids.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

I’d like to see Butts in midfield

I prefer in bikinis but each to their own

 

[Blackhawk42]

Based on the Barra's Yarma (Captain's run today)
Hardwick with the backs.
Amon with the backs.
Finn with the forwards.
Massimo with the mids.

Can confirm.

I got Jai Newcombe to sign my Jai Newcombe shirt on the same day I bought a Jai Newcombe bobblehead and got a photo with Jai Newcombe.

Was a good one.

Also spent the training session next to Jarman Impey's Nan, who had a jacket with that fact written on it.
Karl Amon was very happy to see her.
She met Ginni for the first time who was incredibly lovely to her.

She still made all the players (including Amon) sign autographs for her.

Denise is an absolute GEM of a human being!!

 

[TheFourPillars]

Looks like morrison and serong have both made the trip over

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

They don't have to be quick, just fresh. Jordan Lewis said that when he played sub and came on it was amazing running past players cause they were tired.

Jordan coming on as the sub....(ah, 1:46 in - can't set start for some reason)



Lewis was never the quickest, but was so effective as a wingman for us due to his competitiveness, and ability to read the game and get to dangerous positions.

 

[Newmo89]

They don't have to be quick, just fresh. Jordan Lewis said that when he played sub and came on it was amazing running past players cause they were tired.

Lachie Bramble and Jack Scrimshaw both said last year that they struggled playing as the sub. They both said that you feel great for the first 5 minutes you're out there but then any advantage you had is gone. They said the waiting around to be finally called into the game was the worst as you couldn't be as mentally prepared as if you were starting the game at the first bounce.

Jordan Lewis said the opposite. Scrimshaw should never be a sub, just like Meek should never be a sub. Based on Bramble's kicking last year he should also not be a sub, just like Maginness (who I will back in to play all game with his endurance).

 

[Dewnior]

Amon with the backs.

[The Kipster]

For some reason on bigfooty we all get really excited by seeing new faces and young teams, but then get super upset when we "don't put in effort" (i.e. we get creamed because our structures don't hold up and people butcher the ball due to lack of experience under pressure).

I'm going to try my best to enjoy seeing the young guys play and not break my tv when the inevitable frustration comes!

Bwhhahaha yep, I threw my scripts last weekend when the howler 'deliberates' were being called, needless to say I was back at Spec Savers on Tuesday, "Here he is, one of our best customers"

 

[Delecate Des]

Has Delicate Dees posted? always like to see which way he is leaning.

Fook the haters and the doubters, its a win for me.

Got a good feeling about this one bigmaxi

 

[rdhopkins2]

Collingwood by 10 goals is what the brain says.
Hoping I wake up and a Hawks 1pt victory isn’t a dream.
