[kenneje]

Two massive (literally) ins next week in Lewis and Ramsden.

Day straight back in as well.
Wouldn't surprise me if Weddle made the team after a ridiculously strong game for Box Hill.

 

[Off The Couch]

Not sure there’s room for Day or Lewis

McKenzie or Ward could have a rest and Max already out

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Day back! Wouldn't be too surprised if Lewis gets a week in the VFL and Ramsden makes his debut

 

[hawkguru]

Lewis needs a game or 2 at Box Hill to get match fitness. the bloke hasn't played in nearly 10 months and can't expect him to slot straight imo

 

[WWSD]

IN: Lewis, Day, Weddle

OUT: Lynch, Long, Breust (managed)


B: Jiath, Frost, Hardwick

HB: Scrimshaw, Grainger-Barras, Sicily

C: Amon, Worpel, Day

HF: MacDonald, Greene, Moore

F: Brockman, Lewis, Wingard

R: Reeves, Newcombe, Nash

INT: Impey, Morrison, Mitchell, Weddle, Bramble (Sub)

EMG: Koschitzke, Ramsden, Maginness, Butler

 

[H00t]

Going to be tough game this one. Two close losses and a 6 day break.

Up to our boys to dig deep and put in another huge effort. Keep working hard and games will start to go our way.

 

[A1fromDay1]

One thing to consider is do you want Lewis's first game back from a knee injury being at Marvel on that turf, may see him the week after.

Ward & Day are locks to be back in, Long & Lynch the outs for mine.

If Lewis is back think it will be for Scrimshaw

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Lewis needs a game or 2 at Box Hill to get match fitness. the bloke hasn't played in nearly 10 months and can't expect him to slot straight imo

I would think it's almost inconceivable that Lewis runs out for Box Hill.
If he's fit to play, he'll play senior footy.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

In Day, Ward and Mitch (if he’s really 100%) otherwise no need to rush him back.

Out: Lynch, Breust

 

[VandoHawk]

We have three best 22 players in Lewis, Day and Ward to return. Then we have to replace the structural loss of the second ruck.

Ins: Lewis, Meek, Ward, Day
Outs: Lynch, Long, Mackenzie, Scrimshaw

B: Sicily Frost Hardwick
HB: Impey DGB Mitchell
C: Amon Nash Morrison
HF: Moore Greene CMac
F: Brockman Lewis Wingard
Fol: Reeves Newcombe Day
Int: Worpel Ward Meek Jiath
Sub: Breust

Incredibly stiff with the omissions but their counterparts simply perform better at the moment. Ramsden could debut but I think we'll bring Meek back. Weddle is another I want in this side but difficult to find room.

 

[theiaofseed]

IN: Lewis, Day, Meek
Out: Lynch, Mackenzie and ?

 

[HawthornHawk]

Nash to Bont?

No Libba for them is big, really excited for this one

 

[SJT76]

Day for Long (did nothing wrong, but goes out)
Meek for Lynch: neither Lewis nor Nash should play second ruck, and Reeves cannot solo it
Lewis: as per previous poster, not sure if he plays at Marvel, but if so, it’s a tough one. Bruest not great, but has runs on the board. Frenchie maybe back to BH to get more game time and a central role?

 

[Slainte]

Weddle in for Long (omitted)
Ward in for MacKenzie (managed)
Ramsden in for Lynch (concussed)
Day in for Breust (rested)

 

[Mrzohs]

no chance Lewis is playing at Boxhill.

in - Lewis,Day,Weddle/Kosi
out -Lynch,Long,Bruest (sub) out.

O'Sullivan must be getting close to a debut.

 

[madhawksfan]

Dimma Frost Sicily
Impey DGB CJ
Morrison Nash Amon
Moore Lewis Wingard
Brockman Scrim Greene
Reeves Day Newk
Worpel Ramsden Ward Bruest
Sub: CMac

Outs: Long, Lynch, Mitchell and Frenchie
Ins: Ramsden, Lewis, Ward and Day

 

[SJT76]

To everyone dropping Lynch and not bringing in a ruck: who is going to support Ned?

 

[Blackhawk42]

We need a ruck who can compete with English around the ground. Meek may be back by default.

Lewis, Day, Meek and Ward
For
Lynch, Long, Mackenzie (rested) and potentially Impey if he's still sore.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Before we all **** up our ins

Remember who's available.

Will Day
Mitch Lewis

HUGE

But also
Josh Ward 100% plays
& Scrimshaw will most def play a full game this week.

 

[blackheart]

IN: Ward, Day, Meek
OUT: CMac (his turn to 'manage'), Long, Lynch

It's tempting to bring Lewis in, but he may need another week. Weddle could be a chance. Not sure who else goes out.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

IN: Ward, Day, Meek
OUT: CMac (his turn to 'manage'), Long, Lynch

It's tempting to bring Lewis in, but he may need another week. Weddle could be a chance. Not sure who else goes out.

Lewis will play this week, already confirmed, if it was up to him, and if we weren't making it 110% sure, he'd of played today.

 

[HedgeFund]

I would think it's almost inconceivable that Lewis runs out for Box Hill.
If he's fit to play, he'll play senior footy.

Why wouldn’t they just get him through half a game at Box Hill, see how the knee pulls up and then plug him back in for Rd 8 once they know he’s good?

He hasn’t played footy since July last year

 

[HedgeFund]

In: Day, Meek
Out: Long, Lynch

It was a great effort today.

Reward that with as much stability as possible.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

IN: Lewis, Day, Meek
Out: Lynch, Mackenzie and ?

Long.
