TEAMS: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn

[Demonland 74,443]

[KysaiahMessiah 725]

For now...

[Lucifers Hero 40,734]

One out in each line so each part of the ground should continue to function as normal.

No surprises for each other which is good re our system and positioning.

Smith and Dunstan stay in and Toby gets a run, at last!

Dees by 25 points.

[CHF 2,825]

Not a lot of midfield cover in the listed emergencies.

[Garbo 1,567]

All in all we don’t really loose much if anything on balance vs the team we fielded last week

Correct. Team looks pretty good on paper. Would rather not lose any more, however.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

Not our best side.... but it's not bad.

We'll do the Dorks in a canter

[chook fowler 19,778]

Milkshake is well and truly on the outer. Not even an emergency 

[BDA 23,048]

Still a strong team and should be enough to beat Hawthorn

Might not get his 200 now

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Hopefully all 4 are cherry ripe for the Saints. 

[Demonland 74,443]

A good opportunity for Smith and Dunstan (and now Bedford) to get another taste of the system and the way we play that they otherwise might not have had. They will need that knowledge if COVID or injury strikes. Also gives either TMac or Weid some valuable Ruck exposure in game time.

[Deeoldfart 8,201]

Still a very strong team, which highlights the depth of our list, and how well they are drilled.  No doubt the envy of 17 other clubs!

Yes. Its all about the squad - you need 25-30 good players. (Which we have). Premier League teams regularly swap several players depending on the fixtures coming up. West Ham has a big European match coming up tomorrow morning; in preparation they rested nearly half the side for a League match - against a strong Chelsea. (Lost 1-0 late in the game.) 

[dl4e 5,851]

This year we have had up to 2 players missing ( except rd1 with more ). That is also  good players. Now it is 4 and this may have a telling effect. In a sense it is good some other players are getting a run but we don't want to drop one against the hawks.

Agreed. But may  lever rivers bowey supported by smith and hunt give me confidence. 

And Jack around the ball.

 

[Nelo 813]

The positive is a lot of players are getting a nice rest.

Agree we don't want to drop one, but on paper even  this dees side is way better than the dawks

Shiel’s is a good in. Otherwise it’s not the same side that looked so good against the cats. CJ, Mitchell Lewis, Ward, Phillips, Reeves, Grainger-Barass all out of that team. Outs not as talented as our ours, but significant nonetheless.

But this is the point - we can replace them!!!!!

[DEE fence 5,054]

Hawks fans are busy reminiscing about Hodge’s debut, they have given up on grasping at straws already. Brayshaw  can also be a mid not worried there.

Replace is not the same as replicate.
