Preview Hawthorn v Richmond

[TyHawk]

If correct weight applies then we will show them up by 40 plus. Chip perfect match up on jack r. Shiels to go head to head with that faux tough captain Cochin, Schoey to take the best Backman to ever play the game Rance out of the central position and close their space as they are playing our plan of 2011 with precise ball retention to protect their Backline. And quick ball movement but with patience. Game over!

Wanted a bit more out of JRourke... He's almost there but not just yet

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

Definitely our biggest test for the season to date. Whilst I thought Sydney away was the huge test for us, this game is by far bigger.

Simply no room for error. Enormous test for our midfield.

O'Rourke played a decent game tonight. He would be stiff to be dropped.

IN: Frawley, Stratton

OUT: Spangher (Injured) Litherland (omitted)


B: Stratton, Lake, Gibson

HB: Birchall, Frawley, Burgoyne

C: Hill, Mitchell, Smith

HF: Breust, Schoenmakers, Rioli

F: Puopolo, Roughead, Gunston

R: McEvoy, Hodge, Lewis

INT: O'Rourke, Hale, Suckling, Hartung

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

We will lose. Book it in. You hear it here first every week

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

If they beat Fremantle we should expect 80 to 85k at the g.

What a huge build up..

Shiels will play

 

[WWSD]

Shiels will play

Completely forgot about Shiels. I'm glad I'm not on that selection panel.

 

[beta_condition]

Shiels will play

Duryea should be back as well.

 

[Kil Phearns]

Possibly the biggest game between the two sides since about 1982 H&As, considering (somewhat astonishingly) that we've never played them in a final.

 

[madhawksfan]

Out: Spang (the guy just can't catch a break), Litherlabd (solid but not doing enough to demand a spot) Gibbo (because the MRP will want to level the playing field) or O'Rourke (if Gibbo gets off)

In: Frawley, Stratton, Shiels

Will be a good test. Richmond will want to push for a top four spot and take our scalp to prove themselves.

Expect them to come out hard and try and take it to us early. Their top 6-8 players are excellent but they lack the quality in their bottom third.

Cotchin and Martin are unlikely to get much space and like Fyfe and the Swans mids, they will be tested by our pressure. Not sure of the status of Edwards, but if he plays he's the one that needs a hard tag for mine. Maybe we should play Rioli on him for giggles.

Gibson got anything to worry about with his hit to the guts of Bokehurst?
Spangher out with a hammy for 3 weeks, not good timing for him with Frawley back playing

I think the AFL will send a message and Gibbo could get a week.

Just no need for it and for pure stupidity a week would be about right.

I think we have to cross our fingers he only gets a fine.

Did I not see Hilly land a short, sharp right to the bread basket of a Carlton player last night also?

If we get within 50 points thats a win for us and we should rightfully be awarded the 4 points.

 

[Bikefreak]

Based on what......a hunch or the fact that we have won the last 3 matches by a combined total of 299 pts and we are due for an off game?

Weren't some predicting that we may lose to Freo and $hitney?

Where have they gone?

Stratton for Spangher
Duryea for Gibbo (perhaps)
Shiels for O'Rourke
Frawley for ?
Langford for ?

We've got some serious depth and I'm glad I don't have to make the ins/outs decision. Good problem to have though. As always it'll come down to match ups.

Langford is out for a few weeks.

Has a knee complaint and I think it's a medial strain.

 

[Bikefreak]

I reckon Stratts will take another week too to make doubly sure his ankle is ok.

Not so sure. Tigers are an entirely different prospect. With the exception of last year, you guys have more than troubled us in the past. I'm expecting a much harder game.

Are you serious?
Cotchin does it every week but we don't hear boo from the media.

I did not mention anyone else.

All I said was that it was stupid and the AFL fined him for exactly the same thing a few weeks ago.

Don't be surprised if he gets a week, Of course I hope it is only a fine.

Edwards won't play next week. He is out injured.

Now we can't find out the answer to the burning question on the Main Board who is better between Rioli and Edwards

 

[Hollins]

Always worry when we play Richmond. They know they are always a show against us

 

[Davo23]

I'm sure the Main Board will find several more players better than Cyril.

There's a new one every week.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Am I missing something shouldn't Gibbo just get a 2nd fine ?
