No news as to the Hawks, but the Roos have supposedly left out Brown (:() and Jones(through injury) and have brought in Lower and Hansen.

Wonder if there'll be any changes for us.

I heard that too. Mcglynn will be emergency I think, still stuggling with a groin injury.

I think we'll just keep the same team as last week.

How confident do Hawks supporters feel about the fitness of Hodge and Campbell Brown?

Probably the two most important players to your team.

Both will be fine, have been training fine.

EXTREMELY confident. If Hodgey can come back on 10 minutes after the injury happened, and rip that game apart the way he did, he'll be right.
And young Master Brown. It takes more than a goal post to stop him.....

very glad to see jones out - hard player to match up on and he was the diff IMO down at Inceston earlier this year

Xavier Ellis has been replaced on the emergency list by Tom Murphy......hmm do we read something in that????

Murphy plays KPP forward or back whilst X man is a mid/defender...

Man, that's a great looking team. On paper, we are absolutely all over the Roos. On the day.....???

Corey Jones is a huge out for The Kangaroos. We are just about over the line I reckon.

Well....umm...he did kick a lazy 7 goals - so that's a pretty fair assessment. :rolleyes:

Thank goodness for that - I was worried that their 8-odd premiership players, the motivation of it being Archer's last game if they lose, a midfield of Wells, Harris, Simpson, Harvey and Rawlings, plus Shannon Grant and Archer playing forward might get them in the same suburb as our team of out and out proven champions.

Get a grip, this is still a 50/50 game.

Half fit Harris and Firrito also helps.

Should be a beauty.

Looking handy with Jones out. :thumbsu:

Can anyone fill me in a bit on the two ins?

this should be a cracker - cant help but think back to 2000 when the circumstances were very similar...from memory is was Salmons last game before he headed to a Farnham like retirement!!

the roos will wanna bounce back - but the Hawks will hopefully be on from the start whereas nerves were prevalent last week early on

Lets say Bye Bye to Arch and keep Vanders in it for at least another week hey!!!!

Don't know too much about Lower... but Hansen was a high draft pick in last year's draft... KPP. Handy outs for the Roos, the Hawks should really make the most of this! No better opportunitiy to get into the pre-lim than this...
I'd say Murphy is emergency just in case a KPP doesn't come up for Hawthorn... having Ellis there along with McGlynn and Tuck would mean all three are midfielder types... Hopefully no changes to the named Hawthorn lineup. Should be a ripper! Carn Hawks !!!

I dont see how, the midfields are fairly even, our backline is better, easily infact, your forward line is much better???? Not much in it imo.

How about you get a grip? I will back Crawford, Mitchell, Hodge, Sewell and Bateman against the five you put up there any day of the week and twice on a Saturday night.

As for milestone games, everybody knows that they mean diddly squat in terms of team motivation. But, if you want to play that card, I am sure that the HFC playing group reveres Richie Vandenberg just as much as the opposition reveres Glenn Archer.

Oh, and I will back Campbell Brown in on Shannon Grant and anybody that you want to put on Archer if he goes forward before I would back Firrito to beat Franklin and whomever they play on Roughead.

Hawthorn will win and win well. Back them over 39.5 points.

I've never heard of most of the Kangas backline, so you'd know best :)

For the record, no game against North is easy, and it will take a mature, hard, four quarter effort to win it.

Go Hawks!!!!

At least you are not dismissing a loss, alot of arrogant people on here.

No, im a football follower, on paper our backline is alot better, stop being biased. Your midfield probably has a slight edge in consistency, but either can be devestating on their day, and your forward line is alot better.

Im being perfectly unbiased actually.

Gonna have to disagree about the backline.
Croad, Brown, Birchall stack up against anyone in the league. Gilham is under-rated. The others go as well as your guys IMO.

I'm worried about Harvey, Grant and co, but not about the backs.

Well congratulations. Happy for you.

I, on the other hand, am a Hawk supporter, posting on a Hawk board, so I'll be as biased as I like (although you should check my original post, and read it properly), so if you don't like it, f*ck off back to your own board....

I agree with Brown, but Croad isnt close to the best tall back in the league, Birchall is young in improving, but ditto he isnt close to the best running defender either.

Firritio and Pratt werent far off AA, Gibson and Smith are excellent young players, and Jess Sinclair is very consistent, Watt on the other hand i have no excuse for, he does a job, thats about it. hopefully thats why they brought Hansen in.

From the game in Tassie.

In: Franklin, Mitchell, Boyle
Out: Jones

Thats handy.

Is going to be a very tight game, Cory Jones is a big loss for the Roos but that won't mean much on the day. If we can be in touch at half time like last week we will come home strong again and get the bacon.
Will be a lot closer than people think. Buddy will be licking his lips at a chance to perform infront of 60-70,000 people and on prime time tv!!

And yes it is unfortunate its a public forum too, unlucky buddy.

sorry but Croad is up there with the top tall defenders in the competition - he is an All Australian and has had a very solid season - he probably split the points with J Brown earlier this year keeping him to only 5 majors - and will have more pace and strength than Petrie so the delivery will have to be Hodge like if Petrie is to get the points here....and with Hodgey in our colours - i dont like his chances against Croady

Brown n Gold

Our Midfield craps all over the kangas i'm afraid pal... B Harvey is the only bloke in there that would get a run for the hawks. D Wells is the most overated play in the last 5 years. He's like a poor mans S Burgoyne.

Harvey wouldnt only get a run, hed run the thing, hes one of the brownlow favourites for a reason...

You're kidding right?

Luke Hodge is ten times the player Harvey is and before you throw the fact that Harvey is second favourite for the Brownlow back in our faces, I will point out that muppets like Tony Liberatore and Shane Wowoeful won Brownlow Medals. Greats such as Wayne Carey, Gary Ablett Sr and Leigh Matthews did not.

Hodge is so far in front of Harvey it is laughable. Harvey is about on par with Mitchell and will have a lot of fun trying to shake the tag of Brad Sewell this week.
