Preview Round 6, 2024: North v Hawks, 4pm 21st April, Marvel Stadium

[Ned Ryerson]

Hoping this is the death of the Amon defensive experiment - not a moment too soon!

 

[Hot Cheese Rioli]

Look at the bench - Nash, Ward, Butler and MacDonald will be out, with one of them the sub

Those outs would make sense based purely on form.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Lewis out for another week. Didn't pass the medical. Gunston to return. Expect Serong as well

Are you an In The Know?

 

[Flamin Joe]

Hoping this is the death of the Amon defensive experiment - not a moment too soon!

Doesn't mean anything unfortunately. He's been named on a wing in a few matches this year.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Hoping Ward keeps his spot.

Bench:
Mitchell, Serong, Ward, Gunston/Morrison

Sub:
Morrison/Gunston

I doubt that will happen though.

 

[Hot Cheese Rioli]

Hoping Ward keeps his spot.

Bench:
Mitchell, Serong, Ward, Gunston/Morrison

Sub:
Morrison/Gunston

I doubt that will happen though.

I'd like to see Ward go back to Box Hill and dominate the level for a few weeks.

In the long run I think it could help his confidence knowing that he's far too good for VFL level. Obviously short term confidence knocked by being dropped.

 

[Bugs1977]

Any further selection news Fear The Beard? I know that you're a Demon mate but this is how I picture you in real life

 

[Bedi]

Thank f**k we've finally brought back Gunston. Morrison too. Some much needed experience sorely missed in the past few weeks.

Edit: extended bench i can now see, so let's see

Hope it pays off.

 

[Franko Armani]

Gunston for Butler and McDonald the sub by the looks of it.

Hoping this is the death of the Amon defensive experiment - not a moment too soon!

I agree with this for the most part but his second half against the Pies was a massive reason we got back into the game

 

[ahhhhhh]

Glad Ramsden keeps his spot. I hope Ward goes back to Box Hill for a few weeks to play in the centre.

 

[Bugs1977]

With the team announced I hope it goes:

Ins: Serong, Morrison
Out: Butler, Macdonald*

*On form I wouldn't be surprised to see any one of Macdonald, Nash, Mackenzie make way.

Want to see:
1) Maginess to go straight to Sheezel
2) Dimma to start forward with Serong taking his spot down back
3) Amon to actually play on the wing
4) make a statement early physically and dominate the tackle count
5) connect with our handballs
6) sort out the centre square clearances (sick of seeing us get turned around the other way)
7) have some fun out there

Have to say I love maginess role forward, stops runs, defends like a mad man and works so hard he finds space when we’re attacking.

His pack mark was a revelation, now he just needs to do it again.

I’d still love dimma to be a swingman, unsettles oppositions teams as well and will always do the job in defence - we need it when theirs runs against to.

Get used to it, the next 3 are at Sunday 4pm

It's one of the reasons us "oldies" aren't as enamored of the game as we used to be. Personally, I like my football on a Saturday afternoon. After Thursday nights, Friday nights, Saturday nights, by the time it gets to Sunday at 4pm, I really don't feel much like footy. As for this game, if we lose to North Melbourne, I'm not sure what I'll think.

 

[FB19]

MacDonald nowhere to be seen

Did we outsource match committee to Fox Footy this week?

Hawks socials very slow on the posting of teams this week .

Also, might want to turn the hearing aides down a bit. The D grade callers are abundant at this time slot.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Was good to see Hodgey at the club last night

I hope Cooper attended with Hodgey to soak in all the Hawk memories and love!

 

[mustang]

Sicily has enough judiciary history that it's probably not wise to have him go over the edge. I'd get Hardwick to deliver some closer to the edge treatment - I have often seen Dimma absolutely go after players if they have had a late bump or unfair push on one of our players. Give him licence to get in the opposition player's face a bit. He's got the 15 for a reason.

Yeah good point

 

[hawkman]

Not really - Channel 7 is bizarro land for commentary where clowns like Brayshaw and BT get the prime time games and genuine callers who, you know, actually call the game like Nicholson and Bennett get the less prestigious slots. It’s one of the few benefits of the twilight game on Sunday - guaranteed no Fox footy muppets and no BT or Brayshaw.

It is a Fox game

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

In all make sense.

Does Sammy make an actual statement and drop a best 22 player, like a Nash or Ward, or does he just stick to the fringes?
I’d like Serong to get a run, just not sure who he’d come in for

 

[Ned Ryerson]

It is a Fox game

Ahh yes not the 3:20 game - my bad. In that case, D grade it is!

 

[hawkman]

Mitchell confirmed on radio this morning Gunston is playing
