We’ve done that a few times over the journey. I remember a game were we played 18 short. 

Who were the 4 'guns' on the bench?

Looks a strong team indeed.

Even the emergencies - we bat deep at the moment.

OUT: Harmes (EAR INFECTION)
IN: Aaron vandenBerg 

 

Curious how AVB will go, if Nate was fit, wonder who would have gotten in

[Adam The God 30,706]

So Vanders in for Harmes, who has an ear infection, according to one of the MFC instagram pages.

Slow, poor foot skills, replaced by slow, poor foot skills 

[Clintosaurus 7,953]

Go Vanders. Weid added to the emergencies.

[Dee Zephyr 19,310]

Was wondering why I came across this at work today, ‘‘twas a sign.

Good luck AVB!

I wouldn’t call either slow - maybe not express but hardly slow

I guess a lot of Demonlanders are going to be happy seeing vandenBerg in the team.

Disappointing IMO for Sparrow that he's missed out on a midfield spot, but let's see how vandenBerg goes.

Not talking pure foot speed, also speed of mind

AVB is going to be useful if the Hawks go the bash, as expected. Aaron will have an opportunity, despite the possibly poor weather conditions, to be a presence and a pillar of strength. He does contribute to making us a better team and has recently been playing really well after recovery. Best wishes for a good game, Aaron.

I don't mind it

Hard, like Harmes

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,529]

Hawthorn’s injury list is next level and if we come with last week’s intensity we should have a comfortable win.

It’s a big IF though.

[Lord Travis 10,817]

Given their injuries, anything less than a 60 point win should be considered a failure tomorrow.

[faultydet 7,623]

vandenBerg would be handy in a final against Geelong if they try their usual physical stuff. This is getting some miles into his fragile legs in preparation for a full-tilt run at a flag.

Don't hate it, although it does nothing to improve our conversion rate up forward.

Meh

VDB...the pride of Ainslie!

Maybe Harmes had the ear infection as early as last week?

His entire game was summed up in his first 'possession' I reckon. Tried to pick it up around his bootlaces, missed it, kicked it by accident (almost out on the full), fell over.

Has carried it for a few weeks now. 'Ear infection' is underselling it, he's needing an operation but is hoping to put it off til post-season.

Would have been a good opportunity to give Bowey or Bedford a game.

That’s quite an infection

Vanders will be living rent free in a fair few Hawks players tonight and tomorrow …….

Yeah, watched the vfl game on Kayo.

Didn't think AVB was outstanding but was pretty physical as usual.

Maybe the wet weather swung it his way. Feel for Sparrow.

Bowey is getting better every game and Bedford will be a great player for us too at some point.

Jones didn't play, so maybe that's why he's not coming in.
