Preview Round 7 vs Hawthorn - Cuz Misses, Foley Back & Gus Gets A Run

[_RT_]

Will be interesting to see who suffers the dreaded 1 week leg injury that seems to be sweeping through the club this year. Every week it seems like someone has copped it. As it is Polo is already out this week thanks to his stupid act which got him suspended, while Foley Cousins & Simmonds could all come back.

B: Kelvin Moore, Will Thursfield, Luke McGuane
HB: Shane Tuck, Brett Deledio, Chris Newman
C: Shane Edwards, Daniel Jackson, Jeromey Webberley
HF: Dustin Martin, Jack Riewoldt, Ben Nason
F: Robin Nahas, Alex Rance, Nathan Foley
Foll: Tyrone Vickery, Trent Cotchin, Richard Tambling
I/C: Angus Graham, Graham Polak, Mitch Farmer, Matt White
EMG: Andrew Collins, David Astbury, Tom Hislop

In: Nathan Foley, Angus Graham, Mitch Farmer
Out: Dean Polo(suspended) Andrew Collins David Astbury

He did not train on the field - was restricted to the gym.

Given the fact it's a Sunday match they may let him train tomorrow to prove fitness, either way I would name him in the squad.

Gus named in the squad, MT will be happy.

Good to see we may be going with a bit of size given Hawthorn's lack of down back. Cousins injury must be more then a twinge I'm guessing.

 

[RichosGuns]

Final bench of Polak, Graham, Collins and Hislop/Farmer I'm hoping

Astbury needs a rest and White doesn't belong at the level

 

[happy_punter]

good to see graham listed, he has to play and he should have been playing since round 1. hope he stays when final team announced

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Burgoyne could kill us but if I were Richmond I wouldn't worry too much. Clearly rushed in through desperation.

Come on Tiges!

 

[Tiger_Stripes]

Final bench of Polak, Graham, Collins and Hislop/Farmer I'm hoping

Astbury needs a rest and White doesn't belong at the level

First four on the bench has been the general formula thus far.

Didn,t he have a bruise last week that "didn't quite come up" ?

Full of shyte they are

Final line up I'm hoping for.

HB: Brett Deledio, Luke McGuane, Chris Newman
C: Shane Edwards, Daniel Jackson, Andrew Collins
HF: David Astbury, Jack Riewoldt, Ben Nason
F: Robin Nahas, Graham Polak, Nathan Foley

I/C: Angus Graham, Alex Rance, Shane Tuck, Richard Tambling,
EMG: Mitch Farmer, Matt White, Tom Hislop

Gives us structure up forward and down back. Also gives us run off the bench and flexibility with Rance. Astbury Webberley Nason & Martin continue to get game time which, to me, is the most important thing this year rather than wins.

Gus named in the squad, MT will be happy.

TYPICAL MT response will be something along the lines of ....
Really think Graham will make it in a big way. Far better option than slo ol ' Simmonds, really showed heaps in all those competitive Tigers losses last year, until he was injured - unlike any other club that never has an injury and whose players all play at 100% fitness each week.
Really been in stellar form at Coburg manhandling guns of the competition like Lisle and Cordy.
Think our fortunes will turnaround dramatically now Gus is back.
Can't wait to see Griffiths now, and Gourdis and Griffiths and more of Griffiths!!

 

[coke_zero]

would love gus to make the final 22 and get a good run. not 10 mins on field and 20 mins on the bench.

 

[Tiger_Stripes]

Can't wait to see Griffiths now, and Gourdis and Griffiths and more of Griffiths!!

Whilst said in jest, agreed. Sadly, can't play one till rd 11 and the other till at least next year.

 

[Equus]

I think we'll win this round.

If it is true that the Hawks are not playing for the Clarko, then losing to the Tigers will be the final nail in Clarko's coffin.

Waverley Park will be in meltdown before you know it

 

[PHX]

Can definitely see Gus Graham playing simply because the Hawks only have one ruckman and we might actually have a shot at breaking even in the hit outs.

 

[one eyedtiger]

Happy with Gus being included. Hopefully he plays and we expose the Hawks lack of a ruckman and height down back. If Gus does play then I guess that would leave Polak to play at FF for most of the game. He looked ok last week, hopefully he can build on that.
Also good to see Foley back.

 

[Cotchin 9]

We're Stuey Dew for a win, don't think it will happen though. We've copped some decent ins in Mitchell, Franklin and Burgoyne.

Good to see Gus get a run and Foley back and we're back at the G

 

[Goldust]

WAYDE Skipper on the extended bench for the Hawks ... sure he'll be getting a run .... and likely having a career day out!!!

 

[Madtiger2006]

Hopefully it's:

In-Foley, Graham
Out-White, Polo(susp)

No Hislop please

we will probably be aiming to hit up Gus from the kick ins because they are only going in with the one ruckmen. i really, really hope he plays decent and strings together a few good games. i'd rather spend a draft pick on another mid than trying to find a ruckmen. or keep our picks for the draft instead of trading for one.
