Preview Round 9 - Hawthorn v Gold Coast - In, Out, Shake it all about

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

I expect we'll rotate a number of players across GAblett including Lewis, Shiels and Sewell.

I also expect at stoppages, when guys like Pops and Breust are moved into the middle, they wil each get little jobs to keep him quiet for very short periods.

 

[nickrebellious]

Bruest head 2 head with Ablett. Make him accountable.

Bruest is accountable !

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Has Gibbo trained this week? Is he definitely fit?

According to this week's injury report he did train and he is fit.

Once again I don't expect more than a few changes; Gibbo, Hill and Anderson to come in I think but I don't know who will go out (I'm hopeless at picking the outs )

 

[nickrebellious]

Bruest is accountable !

I mean Ablett.

 

[Hodge is God]

Is it arrogance when I laugh at the Suns posters that think they have a chance?

I mean they beat St Kilda, Dogs, Saints and GWS. Hardly tough competition. The Suns have improved a bit, good on 'em, but now they are playing the team on top of the ladder at their home ground.

Hawks will win this, and will win it very comfortably.

 

[Thaihawk]

I wouldn't mind seeing Langers, Anderson or Hill running with Ablett for some time. That kind of wxperience doesn't come around very often.

Proof that such thing exists?

 

[Hodge is God]

Proof that such thing exists?

I had a quick look at the Suns board, a couple have said they'll win by a couple of goals. Others saying it is disrespectful if the Hawks rest players and it will be much closer than any one would think.

I have never heard any one that cocky after beaten on of the worse teams in the comp.

You sure they weren't being sarcastic?

 

[Hodge is God]

You sure they weren't being sarcastic?

Maybe. But a lot of them, not all, are very confident they will push Hawthorn all the way.

Anyway, I'll stop before a Gold Coast fan sees this and yells "Disrespect"!

 

[Hodgepodge]

Shane Savage to Ablett to get taught where to run and how hard.

I come in peace
but dude it's all a bit of fun lol, we all know we have no chance at winning, if you look at previous weeks predictions they are a bit of a laugh, such as the ones suggesting we will win by 100+. If I could say something, just sit back and enjoy watching our talented group live and prey for no injuries

Haha, fair enough. Sorry if I jumped the gun a bit, if that's the right phrase to use.

Good luck anyway.

By the way, if the Suns win this one, I will seem like a bit of a drongo hhaha

Haha all good mate, good luck to you guys also. And I doubt you'll have that as a problem. Good luck on the w/e and for the season

 

[hawkman]

So Grimley for Hale, Gibson for Spangher, Hill for ???

Bennell a massive out for them

 

[Jaeger]

Bennell a big out for the Suns.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Grimley, awesome. Sounds like he might get more than one game if Hale is out for an extended period.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

This is a sentence I never like reading on our page;

HAWTHORN has been strengthened by the possible return of key duo Josh Gibson and Bradley Hill for Sunday’s clash against Gold Coast at the MCG

 

[Baz_hawk]

Big chance Grimley will debut which I feel we need to make happen going forward. Hale going out is probably more of a niggle (I hope) than something serious. Gibson will send Spangher out of the side, not sure who Hill will replace. Maybe Osborne will be given a week off?

Surprised Anderson isn't in the picture, perhaps the club has set some tasks for him to achieve in the twos as part of his development.

 

[JustKickIt]

Grimley, awesome. Sounds like he might get more than one game if Hale is out for an extended period.

It might be just a 'general soreness' ankle...

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Oh what the hell is going on with the Anderson non-selection?

Hale gets rested. That's good, he's important to us.

Non Zaac Smith or Bennell for them is significant. That should give us a better chance.

 

[Hungry Hawk]

Better put the 35 in the wash ready for sunday!
