Omac will take Patton, allowing Lever and May to play their roles ,not sure which bit the experts don't get on here. The coaching staff have faith in Omac, a young defender still learning his craft 7 1

Would imagine that Gawn will only play a half. Perhaps similar for others, such as Jetta, having played last week, and Brown (also played against North). Could be wrong.
TeamPlayedFine39 8,525 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Strong line-up. Shame not to see Sparrow and Pickett, but very glad to see that Lockhart isn't carrying an injury after training. 2

Going to ruin my supercoach backline Know where you are coming from, he looked pretty good against North to me. Still plenty of time for him to develop his game and confidence at Casey for a call-up later in the season. 3

I know May is versatile but I feel we will get chopped up at ground level. 1

I know May is versatile but I feel we will get chopped up at ground level. Who Hawthorn go with doesn’t really matter. The Eagles are likely to have Kennedy, Darling and a resting ruck (Vardy or Hickey). Unless we think Hibberd or Hore can go to a ruckman (and concede 10cm) or Darling we have to play 3 big talls in round 1. 8 2

Not really he earns his spot v Crows Yes he failed to grab 3or 4 field marks but his handball was accurate and quick to other mids. 1

The coaching staff have faith in Omac, a young defender still learning his craft Like tmac said in the commentary box his role is to be the last line of defence. Move across and back as required to force the opposition to consider the kick inside 50. Said rhe work he does is hard to see. As you say he will also take the opposition big in a man on man, almost traditional full back role allowing may and lever to intercept and be attacking defenders. A very specific role that means he will not get many disposals or kudos for that matter. Lots of one percenters and not much razzle dazzle. Key is he plays the role coach asks him to the letter. I sudpect unlike frost. 7 1
JakovichScissorKick 771 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Gawn back is just massive. I thought he was in doubt for Round 1.

Omac is not. sorry but I just don't see in him. I know he's young but he's not a rookie anymore. he's reactive and if he does get it hes very slow. 3
CHF 2,825 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 A good strong team and pretty much the one that I believe will be our Round 1 team. The only doubt I have is ANB. Bedford or Pickett in for him and then have the interchange as Brayshaw, Vandenberg, Brown and Salem.

Rodney (Balls) Grinter 11,064 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Really glad to have our whole top on ball brigade on the park, looking fit with a good oppertunity to build some early cohesion and confidence. Also really interested to see how Bedford goes as he was looking really quite sharp and ready to play senior footy in last week's scratch match against North. 1

After watching specifically him in the first half of the North, I thought his pressure and intensity was ok, but every time he got the ball in any space and kicked it he completely butchered and shanked it.
Salems Lot 2,692 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Gotta say that I have liked this format of two real scratch match style games and two slightly more serious hit outs.
