Preview Round 5, 2020: GWS Giants v Hawthorn, 5 July 2020, 6.10pm @ Giants Stadium

[TheFourPillars]

Breust jaw confirmed. He's out.

Where?

 

[Bugs1977]

He was playing and tackling in the 4th quarter

He's from the Riverina area up in NSW. Barring Matty Suckling those guys are built tough up there mate. Bruest probably would've keep playing if his jaw fell off

 

[Bugs1977]

Hopefully for Breust its only a hairline fracture 2-3 weeks. I'm praying for that anyway

 

[WWSD]

Give Minchington a game!

I would have thought if it was anything more than that he wouldn't have been singing and smiling in the rooms post game.

 

[TylerDurden]

Where?

Not reported yet.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Not reported yet.

On the lower end of jaw injuries (small hairline fracture) you could play the following week.

[Gralin]

It's up on the AFL website

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Similar to Impey. 1-3 games I would imagine.

 

[TylerDurden]

Minch pls.

 

[LuckyHawk]

Will never forget the bump he received against Adelaide in 2012 i think.
Almost as bad as the Lewis/Harbrow one

That was a shocker. I think he was blindsided by an opponent coming off the bench.

 

[VandoHawk]

Minch pls.

We already know it will be Poppy for Bruest. I just hope Jones comes in for Hanrahan.

 

[Iceman!]

We won't be seeing Nash this week

Conor Nash
Unfortunately Nashy hurt his shoulder in the second quarter which impacted the rest of his game. He had worked hard to get up to play this game after injuring his knee at training a few weeks before.

Sounds like Poppy will be a strong chance

Paul Puopolo
Poppy came back fresh and full of energy. He was unleashed as a midfielder and his workrate was very high. He finished with a team-high 24 touches, four clearances and five inside 50’s. His leadership was great all game, setting the example with his pressure and tackling all game.



Darren Minchington
Minch had his first game on the weekend after building up his fitness the past few weeks. He played midfield and forward, and had a great impact on the game. His ball use was the stand-out, starting many of our attacking moves. He finished with 20 touches and a goal.

JONES NEEDS TO GET A GAME!

Harry Jones
Was our stand-out player against Richmond, having 39 touches and 16 clearances. He was emergency on the weekend for the seniors, and is ready to play when he gets his chance. His burst from stoppage has been a highlight, and his ball use has been very good.

[TylerDurden]

4-5 weeks. Wow.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Lifeline for Poppy.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

How is a small fracture 4-5 weeks

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Jones, Poppy and Patton for Breust, Ollie and Lewis.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Surely Harry Jones gets a game this week

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

How is a small fracture 4-5 weeks

Small enough to require surgery.

 

[Bedi]

Hanrahan has to be dropped

I'm happy to give him more time. Has made a couple of mistakes, but he's a lively type and not far off it. Was very good against Brisbane.

 

[LuckyHawk]

Literally one poster mentioned it in another thread. It's like those DH's that intentionally start bush fires from a cigarette or glass bottle.

On this occasion you are completely and utterly wrong.

 

[Kuuz]

ngl i completely forgot we had Walker on our list. Shame hes 1 week out. Wouldn't mind giving him a crack as a small forward...

Jones, Poppy and Patton for Breust, Ollie and Lewis.

Id be happy with this. I'm a big LEWIS but bring in Patton to face his old side if fit. Id prefer Moore to Poppy but feel that he needs a few more scratch matches before he comes in.

How is a small fracture 4-5 weeks

Linguistic ambiguity - Breust is small and has a normal sized fracture?
