IN: Ward, Grainger-Barras, Morrison
OUT: Macdonald (managed), Nash (managed), Shiels (managed), Howe (sub)

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Why does everyone want Nash out? He was outstanding on Oliver.

Injury

 

[grumbleguts]

Why does everyone want Nash out? He was outstanding on Oliver.

No one wants him out. He was subbed out with a hamstring.

 

[Franko Armani]

Is reeves good to go?

Reeves won’t come back in just yet while Lynch and Kosi are both playing well. I see us running with Lynch, Lewis, Kosi.

 

[madhawksfan]

Outs: Shiels Nash (injured) Callow CMac (managed) Howe

Ins: Ward CJ Lewis DGB Morrison

Dimma Frost DGB
Scrim Sicily Day
CJ Worpel Ward
Wingard Lewis Gunston
Bruest Kosi Moore
Lynch Newk Jaeger
Morrison Titch Finn Impey
Bramble

Liked Jaeger in the role he played yesterday. His work as a forward has been very handy. Moore to play through the midfield again for periods. Shut down role for Finn on Parish.

 

[Franko Armani]

Liked Jaeger in the role he played yesterday. His work as a forward has been very handy. Moore to play through the midfield again for periods. Shut down role for Finn on Parish.

And Worpel looked so much better playing mostly in the middle instead of half forward where he can’t find the footy. His disposal though is another matter.
Biggest issue right now may be the poor disposal from our midfield brigade.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Death, Taxes and the Hun bringing this pic back this week .

 

[Lickmesocks]

Kozi leads hard and straight and gives our forwards a target .He was playing against May and Lever etc yesterday and snagged a few so he stays .

Ward DGB and CJ in

Shiels Nash and Finn out.

 

[The hands of stone]

Parish feeds the ball out to Merrett a lot.
Either is worth a hard tag imo .
They are very loose out of their forwardline , that sould really suit us too .
Nullify Draper , limit Stringer and you probably beat them.
Mind you Im basing it on 1/4 v the Dogs

On form I'm confident we win, with some nice ins too .
Challenge now is performing and winning a game we probably head into as favourite.

 

[theiaofseed]

IN: Ward, DBG, Jiath, Lewis, Morrison
Out: Nash(injured), MacDonald(rested), Shiels, Callow, Bramble/Impey, Howe

Selection getting interesting.

 

[hawkman]

Stringer killed us last time a shame Nash is out as he probably would have been the one to go with him

I don't think you bother with Parish. I don't care if he gets 40 if Merrett can't get clean kicks away and Stringer isn't going nuts.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Stringer killed us last time a shame Nash is out as he probably would have been the one to go with him

Stringer has murdered us at the MCG and the game in Tassie destroyed us.

We really need to put work into him or he will run around like a hero all night.

 

[theiaofseed]

Stringer shows up once in a blue moon, I hardly worry about him

 

[Lickmesocks]

Stringer shows up once in a blue moon, I hardly worry about him

He shows up against Hawthorn

 

[SA HAWK]

Hope the players haven’t forgotten losing to them in Tassie and getting booed by their supporters last year.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Watching them run around today they look like a rabble.

I’m sure they will lift next week but hopefully Sam can open them up and we can put some score on the board.

Something better than 2.8 from Gunners Breust and Chad would be handy .

 

[TylerDurden]

He shows up against Hawthorn

He always does.

 

[TylerDurden]

I don't think you bother with Parish. I don't care if he gets 40 if Merrett can't get clean kicks away and Stringer isn't going nuts.

If Finn plays, he has to take Parish out of the game. We can't be giving him another 40.

 

[Lickmesocks]

I loved Dylan Moores work rate yesterday for us up and back especially after half time. He set up a couple of goals with his relentless run and efforts. I will keep saying it, he reminds me of Boomer Harvey with his work rate and kicking.

Hope to see him in the action next week .

 

[H00t]

Lots of average ball users in * midfield. As long as Merrett isn’t getting the ball in space or Stringer goes crazy our defence should have a field day.

Wright is their only dangerous forward.

Draper is a woeful kick, the more the ball ends up in his hands the better for us.

 

[The hands of stone]

He shows up against Hawthorn

Correct

He bullied us last year, Im confident we are a bit more physically capable this time around

 

[The hands of stone]

If Finn plays, he has to take Parish out of the game. We can't be giving him another 40.

Cut out the source , then you get 2 for 1

 

[SA HAWK]

Trust us to get * when they are in crisis.

 

[moginie]

Trust us to get * when they are in crisis.

Crisis? They're just ordinary.

 

[Messenger]

Haven't seen Impey's 'burst' speed at all since his return.

Without that, he's right on the fringe of best 22.

Which of our Impey’s are you talking about?
