Preview Round 5, 2017: Hawthorn v West Coast Eagles , 23 April 2017, 4.40pm @ MCG

I think they name the bench in both teams.

I couldn't be sure, though...

they did

 

[WWSD]

Vickery, Stewart and Howe for Henderson, O'Brien and Hardwick

Vickery, Stewart and Howe for Henderson, O'Brien and Hardwick

I'd keep Dimma in, give him at least two games, I like what he brings

 

[tige19]

Sammy not even travelling, doctors orders, big shame, could have cheered him if he was in a polo instead of a jumper.

When asked on 360 if he cares about where hawks he said "yes of course" - big difference with lewis who said "nah ive moved on"

Lewis is a grub, it's his nature.

 

[WWSD]

Stewart and Howe have to play. I like what they bring. Stewart has that x-factor and Howe is a very smart player. I want to see Burton and Howe as the two half back flankers.

 

[tige19]

I'm not going to look to much into KB being named at BHH... but just imagine he was dropped, it'd confirm the selectors and Clarko have lost their minds.

 

[Gralin]

Lewis is a grub, it's his nature.

Mate he gave over 10 years, 250 games and a whole lot of blood sweat and tears to the club why the hate?

 

[Qlder_19]

I didn't see him but I was left with the impression he would play. Might still have a bit of soreness or something that doesn't inhibit him but the club would rather he heal fully. That is all speculation on my part though.

I saw him at training as I noted before doing the side to side drills past the tent pole
To my eye he seemed to complete it without issue
If he wasn't right he wouldn't have been doing that

As Jack aka Andrew Rusell said he needed to pass a fitness test, hence he didn't pass

He was a grub with us as well, Hawthorn legend but I've never been a fan. Sammy on the other hand...

That's a big positive

 

[Lethality]

Howe is a better accumulating midfielder than a half-back.

Sam and Jordan both have a fair bit of campaigner in them, one is more polished publicly than the other but still

They were both leaders at the club, they were both big parts of four flags

I really don't get why there is this feeling that Jordy was a shittier bloke

 

[The Lemon]

Cos he's grub mate

 

[hk89]

Tim Watson saying Sam Mitchell will miss the grudge match against Hawthorn. Watson is an A grade tool, as far as
l can see there are no grudges held by anyone concerned.

The Watson family get confused when the letters d, r, u and g are found together in the same word (no matter the order). Clearly not a grudge match.

 

[lethalselbow]

Vickery for O'Brien
Howe for Gibson
Stewart for Breust/Rioli

Is Rioli injured?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Is Rioli injured?

I think people are just assuming something is wrong because he cant get a kick.

 

[PottSie2]

A bit out of left field, but I swore I heard at the Geelong game, that there was free admission to the Sports Museum before this Sunday's game against West Coast ?

Did I hear wrong ? Can't seem to find any information online (on Tuesday), so assuming it's just old age getting the better of me.

It says a lot about them as people. Fitting then Sam went to West Coast who've historically been very successful while Lewis ended up at... Melbourne.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

Lewis is a grub, it's his nature.

Only a Grade A flog would think that it's Lewis' nature.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It says a lot about them as people.

It says SFA about them as people.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Just realised the whole bench is in the lineup, so I don't think it's giving any hints.

It's always been the case for Sunday games. The extended interchange is named in the VFL.

If the bench was finalised then only emergencies are named in the VFL.

cant believe people on here think so lowly of Jordan Lewis!! when he said I moved on, do you guys actually believe that to be the case? also, he meant as in, I'm not pissed off about being tapped on the shoulder anymore, I'm over it and moving forward. a legend of the club just like Sam Mitchell.

Why is Henderson best 22, I just don't see it. One of the most one dimensional players I've seen play footy which makes him a liability down back.

I feel like whitex's mother...but seriously, composed, decent disposal, tackles and gives 100%

they way they are being used currently it's not the same role
Interesting this week that Billy and Smith are guaranteed in but Hendo is on the extended bench

Say what you want about him but over the first month he's been one of our more consistent players
