Wonderful news, for once we dont lose one to bloody Freo

10/10 would take him, already shown plenty in his 100 games and will only improve from here. We should have enough cap space to have a go at some good players next season

Poor effort tonight but could see the team didn’t have the same energy as previous weeks…impossible to win every week and Brisbane are a good side, we have plenty to work on but not the end of the world

Apparently Bailey is under an injury cloud as well.

Yes came off late last week with a bad ankle as well, 6 day break for them

anderson on 3aw predicting oliver will be a withdrawal

hope he's wrong

This has been doing the rounds all week, if true is balanced in part by Lachie Neales crook ankle he is not 100% fit either

It's funny i have cracked my ribs and broken a finger that required surgery playing footy.

I can assure everyone the cracked ribs inhibit you alot more. Unless Oliver has done more damage i doubt he would miss. He is obviously struggling with the hand but why rest him now after playing a couple of games?

I'm amazed May is playing that is alot worse

 

 

Yeah dunno that’s just what was reported…perhaps they think a 20 day break would be good for Clayton as well and it’s a bit about managing our list through the season

If Oliver and Pickett both miss will need to rotate a lot more Salem/Rivers/ANB through the midfield as well as elevate Sparrow to a bigger inside role

Tom Morris saying Oliver a chance to miss this week with that finger issue

If that’s not low impact you might as well remove that as a category 

Should be low impact and a fine was only a brush really

Can’t complain about getting 8 premiership points in Adelaide 

Flat start

Agree with many it will be tough, 5 day break and we are a bit banged up coming up against a desperate opponent at home....but Adelaide's scoring power and forward entries have been poor so far this season, will back our super defence to stifle and frustrate them enough to afford opportunities up the other end for a tight W. Dees by 11 points.

Bummer, Marty has looked good since hes been back

Trac’s a warrior, I saw that knee jar too but the way he plays he’s probably sore mid week every week….be surprised if it was enough to keep him out 

Good opportunity to keep a side out of form down with our stifling defence and grind out another interstate W

Wonderful win, we soaked up their pressure for 3 quarters and then really went to work in the last

Absolutely, but so are our midfield 

Nothing is easy, but we can beat them if we are fully committed to 4 Quarters 

No Horne-Francis for them helps us

Never been less worried about a team getting more kicks and marks than us…Hawks just went sideways and backwards the whole match we were never in any danger

Great win considering our injuries and a very annoying opponent…we look much classier with our ball use so far this season

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

Go dees

They still had more scoring shots than Essendon despite losing

i concur go Dees

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 

Petty for Brown was always going to happen…not sure why ppl are shocked by this, not like Brown was Jeremy Cameron last week

3 talls might work the Hawks backline is pretty bad at the moment 

Tall side, hopefully works well on a dry day at the MCG…can see the reasoning Petty is too good to leave stuck in the VFL
