Preview Round 9, 2024 : Hawks v Saints, 1:45pm Sat 11th May, UTAS

[Flukey!]

Breust as sub is an absolute no brainer.

I know he hasn't been fabulous yet but if he was playing sore/injured and is actually good to go now, I feel like we need his composure and scoring abilities from the start.

Has missed a lot of footy. Will be off the pace to start with.

Has missed only 5 weeks, could have been less but we didn’t want to rush him, he’ll be primed to go.

“Some guys have them and yeah, they can't move the next day, but he walked into my office and he's putting his hands above his head and he's like, yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.”

[TylerDurden]

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Phillips or Serong has to come in for Sicily.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Out:
Sic
Morrison
In
Phillips
Ramsden

 

[TylerDurden]

Breust is playing.

 

[ahhhhhh]

Out: Sicily
In: Serong

Scrimshaw's performance in the Sicily role this year makes it a little less painful.

 

[cryptor]

Out:
Sic
Morrison
In
Phillips
Ramsden

I’m keeping Morrison in for some leadership and poise with Sicily out.

 

[hawkman]

Serong in and I think it means Hardwick goes back

 

[smish]

Is the final team named today because it's a Saturday match? It's been so long that I can't remember.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

I’m keeping Morrison in for some leadership and poise with Sicily out.

Dear cant ruck against Hayes

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[kenneje]

Sicily > Phillips
Seems like a good game to debut with King out of form.

Morrison > Breust
Will probably be Ward, but I really hope not.

 

[Walshawk]

Serong was BOG for BHH last week. Not sure how Philips get the nod.

Phillips wasn't far off being BOG either

Wouldn't be a massively shocking call

 

[Roddy]

Sis to miss, time for the E-Flip…

 

[kirbatron]

Easy debut will be another good story

Dear vs Hayes is a bit of a worry

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

This guys power of deduction is next level.

 

[cryptor]

Dear cant ruck against Hayes

Nash can

 

[barbster]

Sis to miss, time for the E-Flip…

Calsher’s debut went well, club might be happy to give Ethan a go. He definitely deserves it.

 

[SSSSSS]

So we are without our FF, CHF and best player in Sicily.

saints might get within 10 goals now

Easy is also a natural leader. He was directing traffic and giving direct feedback – I remember he yelled at a BH player for his positioning, basically saying where he was standing made it so he wasn't providing a dangerous option on turnover and was, to paraphrase, doing **** all. But then gave him praise when he made a great defensive stop in the very next play.

Serong is a much quieter (as he's less experienced it makes sense) player who was extremely effective but his performance was in no small part helped by Easy.

So it probably depends how the club wants to go – do they want a bit more experience and leadership? With Sic out, I think Phillips is the logical choice. But I can see why they'd go for Jai too.
