GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs Hawthorn



Recommended Posts

Hawks aren’t as terrible as a lot of people think and Mitchell is a smart coach who will do everything to disrupt our game…:that said you’d expect class to win out in the end and us to get home by 25-35 points

Some trivial posting.

I noticed that the spider cam was not at the Colly Saints game.

At our last G game, the techs game out at half-time to adjust it.

Read somewhere that the broadcast vision was fuzzy.

Maybe the ball that hit it in a previous game, has caused problems. 

Spider may be down again.

May to shut down Lewis. they don’t have many tall threats after that

midfield is developing but young

backline average. 

we would need to have an off day to lose this

Just Chol and that's probably about it. Who gets him?

I think this game will be won in the middle and as usual our Python like backline.

I hope lever performs better today. He's been a bit lack lustre the first few games.

who are we thinking for the sub? out of the 5 below it’s a tough call  

  1. WINDSOR
  2. HORE
  3. Oliver
  4. Petty
  5. T Mac

 

I reckon Windsor if the sub has to be from the “Thursday night selected“ bench.

Otherwise Sparrow.

Marty Hore is today’s sub.

Thanks 

That's a big bet on Petty's fitness.

Not sure if I like it. Could bite us.

Like this a lot. Stretch the Hawks with attacking talls, was alway unlikely we’d need TMac and Hore as tall backs. Plus keeps Windsor’s speed on the park.

Sitting next to a hawks fan on the tram . He says his Hawks WERE terrible last week.

Great man to bring in ... sitting on the bench, watching and learning the opposition weaknesses, relieving Petty after a first hit-out, doing his thang to the Hawks' forwards, some merit in the ideas ...

It’s unclear as to where he will be playing in the coming season as some of the club’s established defensive talls near the end of their careers.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
