Preview Round 6, 2022: Hawthorn v Sydney Swans, 25 April 2022, 12.30pm @ York Park

[TylerDurden]

Shiels sub. Other 3 playing BH today.

 

[RUNVS]

They’ll hard tag Tom Mitchell. Who’s their tagger nowdays?

We don't really have a hard tagger anymore. Previously it would have been Hewett but he is obviously gone. The only player in our team this week that has experience with tagging is Mills and he only does soft tags these days, and only sometimes.

 

[Lickmesocks]

McDonald McLean and Franklin is a very tall dangerous forward line. Hopefully we can bring the ball to ground and run off them a bit as the game goes on.

Bramble looked a class above on less playing time, does he play one more game at BH

 

[TylerDurden]

Long. 10 tackles.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Bramble might need another week. Seamus and butler much more involved

 

[TazHawk15]

The Swans are staying at the same hotel as me the Silos in Launceston, I just got in the lift with Buddy. I wonder if I should set the fire alarm off in the wee hours so they don’t get much sleep.

 

[hawkguru]

Long. 10 tackles.

That's been his average all year.
Does anyone know why downie didn't play?

Definitely needs another week.

Was handy in the second half but still looks short of a gallop.

Covid.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

McDonald vs DGB would be interesting to watch.

You should’ve tested out his hand with a strong handshake.

Agree with Hodgeyroad with regards to Morris. Just don’t see an AFL standard player with him at this stage. Happy to be proven wrong but 7 possies in the 2’s is hardly anything to get excited about! Surprised he is an emergency to be honest.

 

[I got the outside word]

Was McDonald the guy that DGB was keeping score of their battles? These two could be a fun watch.

Last round DGB went to him at half time and took about 4 contested intercept marks on him. Hoping that's the matchup.

Played limited minutes. I assume he'll be travelling emergency.

 

[The hands of stone]

I dont mind us being or looking a bit undersized down back .
Think it plays to our strengths and can be a real weapon for us .

We will get exposed from time to time but happy to cop that .

Remember the words of Kanga Kennedy- “Don’t think, DO!”

I'd love to see Maginess have a 'milestone' game that Sam talks about. Say 25-30 possessions, and a high DE
