Preview Round 7, 2022: Hawks v Dees at the G after a 5 day break......ouch.

[Strapping Young Lad]

Changes and all that in here.

Can Noodle get up for this?
Does Long come in for Worpel?
Do we give Butler a taste?


What's the prognosis on Lewis and CJ? I assume they both miss.

 

[A Cut Above]

Good learning experience coming up.

 

[cam975]

Maginnes and Impey out as a minimum. Impey was rushed back after a poor reserves game and has been awful. Finn's disposal unfortunately is not up to standard and is a liability.

[Hawks1994]

Reakon at least one of Ward or MacDonald will get a rest this week

 

[user33]

Finn wasn’t horrible today but I get so nervous every time he touches the ball.

Finn and Worpel out.

Long and Bramble in.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see Ward rested for Shiels, looks a bit tired.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Out
Ward, McDonald (rest), Worpel and impey (dropped)

In
Long, bramble Reeves and Lewis

Hoping reeves and Lewis are fit. Badly missed today.
Give ward and McDonald a rest for a week.

Worpel and Impey look badly out of form.

Leave Finn in, just get him to tag Petracca

. They’re both in desperate need of a break. Sincerely Hawthorn F.C.

 

[SA HAWK]

Expecting a bloodbath.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Can't see much value in dropping Impey who is short of a gallop, for Bramble who is in the same position after 1 game at Box Hill.

I'd keep Impey in, and replace Finn with Bramble.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Time for my annual public service announcement for all Supercoachers to make big Maxy your Captain next week as we continue our time honoured tradition of kicking it to him at every conceivable opportunity

 

[SSSSSS]

Give Finn another week. One of Ward and Ronald to get a rest.

 

[The hands of stone]

Dear Melbourne, please rest Max Gawn & Clayton Oliver. They’re both in desperate need of a break. Sincerely Hawthorn F.C.

Petracca also looked pretty sore last night , May was feeling his hammy late, Jackson got a head knock so better to be safe than sorry .
Think thats another 3 changes for them

 

[ahhhhhh]

Can't see much value in dropping Impey who is short of a gallop, for Bramble who is in the same position after 1 game at Box Hill.

I'd keep Impey in, and replace Finn with Bramble.

Simply no way Impey can stay in the team

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Simply no way Impey can stay in the team

Well there is, he gets selected.

 

[SSSSSS]

Would like for Finn to get a run with role with one of the Dees stars.

Going to get spanked so give him an opportunity to play in his best position.

 

[H00t]

Can't see much value in dropping Impey who is short of a gallop, for Bramble who is in the same position after 1 game at Box Hill.

I'd keep Impey in, and replace Finn with Bramble.

Would absolutely kill our run without Finn. For all his flaws he worked tirelessly up and back when a lot of our other players didn’t. We have so many players not running or looking underdone. Adding in more won’t help.

If all our players gave the same effort as Finn did we’d be in a good place. We just need his kicking sorted. Though it did look better this week, more missed kicks because they were cut off rather than just awful.

 

[TylerDurden]

Impey 2 touches. I'm sorry. He needs a spell.

Bramble a certainty.

Finn out.

Hopefully the others who are injured aren't too far away.

 

[eldorado]

Hawks by 73.


What?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

His reaction time concerns me. His speed of decision making and execution is what slows us down.

 

[SA HAWK]

Expecting Shiels to come into the starting 22 for this game.

Maybe Worps has a spell at Box Hill or Ward/Mc Donald gets a rest.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I'd like Finn to play in the middle like he did in preseason

 

[The hands of stone]

Its dangerous to look ahead but past the Dees we have 3 very winnable games over the month.

I would keep this is mind this week, we want us firing all cylinders not gassed for those games.
Perhaps Ward and Macdonald get a rest , Long in to debut and a bigger mature body .

Play the long game might not be a bad idea here.

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Don’t anyone ever again say an A grader like Wingard should “earn his spot” in the B’s again.
You sound completely stupid saying such things.

 

[VandoHawk]

Mitchell said that Jiath, Lewis & Reeves probably wouldn’t be ready this game.

 

[H00t]

His reaction time concerns me. His speed of decision making and execution is what slows us down.

I agree his decision making isn’t quick. It looks like he’s really trying to make the right decision and hit his kicks rather than it just coming naturally to him.

I think it stems from his poor kicking, if that improves, I think we will see him playing a lot quicker.

I just feel we probably need him to play because he provides an extra number all over the ground. Especially as most of our other players are pretty static. We’d get exposed a lot more defensively without him.
