Preview Round 5, 2021: Hawthorn v Melbourne MCG 3.20pm Sun 18th April

[Wingnut19]

Borderline ridiculous that we don’t know the team yet. Bring back the Thurs night teams FFS. The AFL are killing this game slowly but surely

I want to know the final score too

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Yikes, BB vs Gawn and Jackson
Suspect TOB might be rucking a bit

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Scrimshaw wing tho

 

[rei154]

Hartely very stiff imo

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Cegs finally dumped.

 

[Jake_09]

Hartley stiff

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Hartley is a better footballer than Hartigan.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Hartley is a batter footballer than Hartigan.

Better disposal but I'm not sure he's a better footballer.

 

[PT Bar None]

I predicted poorly.

[Gaston]

Will Cousins wear the sub vest?

They shouldn't yo-yo Kosi, give him a block of games and support him or alternatively
3 weeks back at Box Hill to re-build confidence and work on little things that apply at AFL level
and not VFL.

 

[KermitJagger]

Geez Hartley would feel hard done by. He was more than serviceable.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Much quicker team at least

 

[Brishawk]

I noticed that Brockman is out, while tob and Howe have been retained. Just doing a welfare check to see if everyone is ok.

Edit: Nash and Ollie in too.

looking forward to seeing Nash play.

This selected side makes more sense than last week’s, which was a real head scratcher.

Ceglar simply couldn’t keep getting games, he’s contributing nothing. The two ruck setup has been a failure and hopefully that’s the last we see of it.

Brockman shows very promising signs but he has plenty to learn. Wonder whether he has the week off or goes to Box Hill. If the latter I wouldn’t be surprised if he kicked 4-5. He will be back in soon.

Jeka a bit unlucky based on form but happy for Kosi and Nash to get another shot at it.

I am genuinely excited for how they roll out Nash.

 

[Dave Id]

For you know who!

I'm quite glad Howe is healthy, he was good vs freo imo and his injury looked bad

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Yay, Ollie is back

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Well, at least Ceglar is out

 

[burger09]

Deck chairs shuffled.

Timmy your moment has come!

A little disappointed there's no Jeka or Downie.

We will have to be patient, more change will come soon enough.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Unless Brockman has been out on a bender and missed training he should play every game.....

Absolutely crazy selection.

Brockman is the one player that has shown something.

Ollie and Conor Nash

Brockman has been named for Box Hill. Aside from that snap against Geelong late he has been largely anonymous and looked nervous out there recently. Fine line between persevering with a kid so he gets used to the level and destroying someones confidence if they keep putting out shockers at AFL level, plus there are standards in performance that need to be met to earn a game. I guess it is one of the tough parts of a rebuild when you may have multiple players in a similar position.
