Preview Round 7, 2024 : Hawks v Swans, 4pm Sunday 28th April, MCG

[Pinoy Hawk]

not confident Lewis is coming back based on that injury report …

I was surprised when he was listed Test last week when I haven’t seen him done enough during trainings. I can be corrected by other training watchers, but I think Day, Chad and CJ(before that new injury) are more visible and have participated more.

Heeney is hard to tag. Could drag Finn to the goal square and kick 3-4 on him.

Finn could do the same to him.

So good to hear that Lance will be there this Sunday. For a guy that doesn’t like the limelight or attention ….. for him to turn up at the G for a send off to the Hawks faithful that he brought so much joy too is a beautiful thing. Would love to see Hodge/Rough/Lewis/Sizz/Clarko etc there as well to celebrate the great man. Will be there Buddy!

Yep ‘Ken legend. 2007-13 were awesome because of him.

14 was good because of him too though …for different reasons

Tough week at the selection table.

Day of fit comes in, Huss probably the unlucky one to make way.
Lewis for Gunston if fit.

If Lewis isn't ready, then push Weddle forward and bring Phillips in to cover their tall forward line. Weddle's endurance and running power would be a great asset to have at CHF and he looked dangerous yesterday.

How tall exactly is their forward line?

They get Parker back so hopefully they drop someone who was in good form

Our injury list claims are generally completely untrustworthy. Unless they are in the final presented to the AFL just before the game I assume they are still injured.

Good work by Ash Klein.

Jordan or Campbell, maybe.

I'd like to see Sam switch Hardwick back into defence........in a swap with Weddle.

The kid could be a real handfull roaming the 50 meter arc.

Even the Lizard cannot match Weddle leading to the ball surely.

Weddle shows signs of natural forward 'talent' - may as well have a look at first team level.

Thoughts on that swap from the Big Footy gang?

Saw this. I notice our players almost always try to get back off the mark so they're not required to stand. Will be interesting to see how it goes against them.

Yep.

Our oppo analyst has his work cut out this week.

I also noticed during our game that umpires called play on much quicker...

 

[DEECEE]

My worry is that the 1st quarter is a repeat of the the melb game. If we are half asleep, they will chop us up.

It's David McKay.

If that is not afl ready, I’m not sure what is!

Day comes in for Hustwaite needs a full game looking forward to seeing box hill with Ward hustwaite brown as starting midfield. And of course the return of my Achilles brother Chadwick!
Lewis won’t be risked. I’m ok with Mackenzie to sub he’s excellent for half a game right now until his fitness builds so that’s ideal. He still plays with the seniors and gets that experience.
Serong has to stay in for mine for us to have a chance we must defend as a unit well. Swans don’t do the obvious things well but are top of the league for getting forward and converting need to make that as difficult as possible then we stand a chance if we can turn it over and go.

If he makes it, going to be very marketable, would be huge for the family. Debut may be timed for this, clearly he’s a line ball prospect now.

I’m sure I won’t be the only one pressing play trying to play the video

This shits me so much. There is so much inconsistency with how long players are given. I reckon our players should count to 7 out loud in front of the ump when an oppo marks to keep them honest.

The other one is that often when the ball is held in under a player the ump blows his whistle for a ball up within half a second. And other times he puts the whistle away, waits and ends up calling a HTB. It’s nuts and creates huge advantages or disadvantages for sides at the contest.

I don’t think I can remember a period in the game like this where the umpire can make or break a club and or player in a game with a decision or non decision. And when it happens in a final or GF it will impact careers.

From all reports, Lewis is playing.

He's very short odds to kick a goal on the betting sites
