The way to deal with a young team like this is to hit them harder around the contest than they have been getting hit recently. Second last round I reckon they could put the queue in the rack if we make it very uncomfortable for them from the jump.

If we let them play the way they're wanting to play this could go very badly for us.

Smash them in the contest and take a 45+ point lead at HT.

Then cruise the rest of the game. If they try to come hard at us in the second half we destroy them with scores from turnovers/transitions.

 

Now that we’ve seemingly settled on our line up with the exception of Fritsch. We simply have to activate beast mode over these next two weeks heading into finals.

    I would hate to be a Hawthorn player today. This is the beginning of our run to the premiership. Today it all comes together Kossie 5, Trac 4, Oliver 42 possessions and 2 goals, Max 320 possessions and 6 goals! Heaven help the Hawks.

    GO DEES!

    Who have we held over from the Casey game? Looks like Schache and Jordan. Guessing Jordan will be the sub although maybe Schache has he can play forward and back and even ruck

    I think you may have got this one a bit jumbled rufus. 

    The correct phrase is queue in Iraq.

    According to Greg Stafford, Smith will start forward today 

    Obviously. We brought in Tomlinson. Where else would Smith play?

    Definite possibility. If we line up as expected and take our opportunities. 😜

    Might have exaggerated Oliver’s goals. 

    Craigieburn line, Dees fans outnumber Hawks 10:1.

    50k at least. My understanding is they expect 45k-55k off the back of pink lady, Gawn's 200th, and lots of free tickets given away.

    Schache sub.

    I love this. It's different by Goodwin and innovative. Gives us flexibility whether that's in the ruck or up forward.

    Interesting choice.

    Can only assume that the FD don't have much faith in either Smith or Tomlinson and will make adjustments accordingly.

    Interesting. Well we'll see what he contributes when he gets his chance

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
