Preview Round 7, 2024 : Hawks v Swans, 4pm Sunday 28th April, MCG

Can't see how we lose this

 

[PenAndPaper]

I'm actually all for Finn to Blakey, he provides so much rebound for them out of defence.

 

[Rich]

Sydney’s ball movement was lightning fast yesterday and has me worried.

Need to cut them off at half back and break even in the middle, especially at CBA’s.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Tough week at the selection table.

Day of fit comes in, Huss probably the unlucky one to make way.
Lewis for Gunston if fit.

If Lewis isn't ready, then push Weddle forward and bring Phillips in to cover their tall forward line. Weddle's endurance and running power would be a great asset to have at CHF and he looked dangerous yesterday.

 

[toomanysquibs]

Why are you wanting to drop Mass?.... has been one of the best performers this season...

We need slick users like Mass and Cam Mac in the side against the Swans.

Day needs to play if fit, Lewis too if he is really ready to go.

Pressure will be required at the level we brought against the Roos. They're a bloody sharp side if you allow them to bust tackles, run through the middle unchecked, and get off the chain across half back.

Finn to the Lizard if he gets going.

 

[DEECEE]

Mackenzie Sub?

Hard pass

Fast becoming one of my favourite players.

In: Day
Out: Huss

I really hope they don't drop Serong.

Weddle on Blakey would cause several heads around Australia to explode

Another glorious day in Adelaide. 23% humidity.

 

[tommyk72]

With another 7 day break I’m expecting quite a competitive performance against Sydney. I still think that the big games compounded by the short breaks and the tough conditions at the GC were the catalyst for our poor performance.

Sounds like Day will be the only in. Unfortunately, I’d be dropping HH and moving Morrison to sub. Only in the interest of giving CMacs X 2 full games to continue the development.

Only other question is whether any of the young fellas need a rest.

 

[Hawk88]

I would think that would be ridiculous given the whole point of his extended rehab was to not take risks and wait until he was 100% fit. And a 100% fit Day is named on field.

I mean....Sammy does love stuffing up his sub choices lol

 

[blackheart]

In: Day, Lewis
Out: Hustwaite, Serong (unlucky)

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I'm actually all for Finn to Blakey, he provides so much rebound for them out of defence.

Yeah he's a better target than Heeney, as he is playing as a midfielder now and Finn won't get a chance to matchup with him at CBA's.

It's Brett O'Farrell and you'll enjoy it.

 

[TylerDurden]

If Breust declares he's fit, he walks back in.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Day will lineup at the first CBA imo

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Not sure the Swans will be able to go with us and our youthful energy .

 

[CD Xbow]

If Breust declares he's fit, he walks back in.

If Lewis and Day are fit, you already have to drop 2, then need to find a third to fit Breust in. Not often a team drops 3 players after a win.
Also, I'm not sure it's going to work well with 2 oldies in the forward line.

 

[earthworms]

Hard to believe but this is game 48 for Connor Macdonald. Nearing his 50th really soon against the saints.

 

[Mercy Seat]

If Breust declares he's fit, he walks back in.

Breust was on radio yesterday and didn’t sound too confident for next week. Said maybe Swans or game after. Given that, reckon we’re cautious.

I like the Finn to lizard idea
