[SA HAWK]

Crisis? They're just ordinary.

Media will pump them hard this week.

 

[TylerDurden]

Who goes to 2MP? Frost?

 

[SSSSSS]

Just please don't kick it to Draper like last year. Wish we had Nash for Stringer.

 

[H00t]

Who goes to 2MP? Frost?

Will have to be Frost. Sicily, Scrim and DGB will need to drop off at every opportunity to be third man up.

 

[Toasted]

This is a real danger game for us. Always close against the Scum and will be the first time we’ve gone in as favourites since round 1.

 

[Brishawk]

Who goes to 2MP? Frost?

Scrimshaw. He will end up with 30 touches and set up 12 goals.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

These are the types of matches we have tended to lose the last couple of years (lower ranked teams who drag us down to their level)

Be a good test of Sam's coaching ability to get us to win a match that we should reasonably be expected to win (good teams do this)

Plus I really, really, really hate losing to those Windy Hill arrogant types

 

[Hodginator]

If we only have one more win for the year, please let it be against these pack of campaigners.

 

[Franko Armani]

If we only have one more win for the year, please let it be against these pack of campaigners.

Agreed

 

[hamohawk1]

they will be coming out breathing fire, really need to at the minimum stay with them for the first half and push on from there. If they lose, it is officially season over for them

 

[WWSD]

Essendon ended our season last year, we end theirs right back.

 

[TylerDurden]

they will be coming out breathing fire, really need to at the minimum stay with them for the first half and push on from there. If they lose, it is officially season over for them

Yep. This is their season. They'll throw the sink.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

they will be coming out breathing fire, really need to at the minimum stay with them for the first half and push on from there. If they lose, it is officially season over for them

They should have come out breathing fire the last few weeks……they haven’t.
Their season is done. Hoping they’ll implode this week and we get a 10 goal win

 

[StillAtLarge]

Draper will monster us. Again

 

[grumbleguts]

Just let the word slip in the club rooms that there's this new undetectable performance enhancing drug better than TB-4. And it's lasted even more iterations than just 4. The manufacturers say they are at the 19th version. The Chiral Overhauser Vitality Inherent Drug-19. They'll all inject it off-site of course, but within days they start feeling the performance enhancing effects of this new COVID-19.

 

[Big Hotdog]

Draper will monster us. Again

Lynch was jumping all over Gawn for the first quarter and I see no reason as Lynch gets match conditioning that he won't be able to at least hold his own against a Draper.

[TylerDurden]

Lynch was jumping all over Gawn for the first quarter and I see no reason as Lynch gets match conditioning that he won't be able to at least hold his own against a Draper.

On Nokia 6.1 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Agree here.
And I'd give Draper the footy. He's the worst kick I've seen.

 

[Gut Runner]

Result will be decided on which midfield has less clangers

 

[StillAtLarge]

Result will be decided on which midfield has less clangers

They should have a giant doomsday clanger count clock at the ground for JOM, Parish, Worps, Shiel et al. The thing will probably explode halfway through the first quarter

 

[Billyc]

We are better than this mob and should win. One of the few sides that don't have a midfield that should be able to dominate us. They'll spend all night kicking it to Sicily.

 

[rockin ronnie]

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

Yep I thought the same from the injury report video and in the Callow Call Up Vid he went in with the awkward single arm hug, injured arm hanging limply by his side. Says to me he is still sore and several weeks away at best.

 

[hawk for 37]

Media will be kicking the Bombers all week.
To them, the Hawks will represent their best chance for a win.
Young Hawks have slipped into a hot and cold pattern over the past month.
Cold- Saints
Hot - Cats
Cold - Swans
and classifying Hot - Demons.

This will be a big test for Sammy. Juggling team selection and having them break a cycle of inconsistency that appears to be developing. Massive danger game.
No better time to fix the up down pattern than v Bombers.

 

[Nastyfish]

IN:

• Morrison
• DGB
• CJ
• Lewis

OUT:

• Shiels
• Nash
• Callow
• MacDonald

Hardwick - Frost - DGB
Scrimshaw - Sicily - CJ

Lynch - Mitchell - Newcombe
Morrison - Ward - Bramble

Moore - Gunston - Wingard
Breust - Lewis - Kosi

JOM - Impey - Worpel - Finn

It looks good on paper, but kosi and Lewis need to work out how to make a forward line work when they are both in it.

 

[Cleavy]

ugh, Marvel!

 

[cryptor]

Nash is a big loss. Always thought in recent years when they've beaten us it was on the back of more break away speed from the clearances. At least we've got a few others in now with some toe.
