Must win game if we are any chance of making the finals.

Percentage boost will be handy too.

Hawks by 58.
You think we can keep the Dogs scoreless. That will be a big task
 
Not to go over old ground again, but the 2020 form can be at least party attributed to what was going on in our hub.

Players falling out with each other, coaches not talking, administrative people falling out with coaches. An absolutely cluster*. They could write a book on it one day.

You’re really dulling down things that went on too unfortunately Mercy.
Some blokes should hang their heads in shame.

In a couple of hours I reckon there’s going to be a whole heap of disappointment amongst hawks fans, I’ve seen calls for about 7 players to come in.

There’s no certainty amongst players coming in, all of these players might play: Phillips, Dear, Lewis, Watson, D’Ambrosio, Hustwaite, Ward, Breust.

My guess at ins: D’Ambrosio, Watson, and Lewis if available.

Outs: Chol, Serong, Ramma if Lewis comes in.

Wouldn’t be surprised by any of these moves: Dear for Gunston, but only if Lewis comes in. Ward for Maginness. Phillips in for Serong, Sis forward.

Never been so unsure about selection.

Anyone have any clue?

They’ll be disappointed if they expect Lewis to be back this week.

Was going to say harsh on Mitchell but the Dogs don't really have a small forward to worry about (Hardwick will be disappointed Weightman is out).
Watto, Mass and Phillips into the 26 man squad
Would need 1 more with Chol out

Id love to see a team lift, players who are down in confidence just relax and the midfield remember what they delivered last season. Results will follow if these things happen.

The shortage of KPPs at both ends is seriously damaging us both personnel and structure wise. I’d try Philips just to straighten us up and for this game a shorter forward line that is instructed to move often and frequently to stretch the defence.

Looks about right to me. Will be interesting to see who makes the final cut.

Nice to see the young fella make the squad. I'll let you decide which :D

Like the team, only change for me would be Mitchell in for McDonald/Maginess.

We need Mitchell pace, we were exposed last week. Swans pace all over the ground was impressive.

Could we look at playing him more on ball if there is no obvious match up down back, use his pace in a more dangerous part of the ground.
