Game Day Hawthorn vs Essendon, MCG, 27/06/15 (Kav sub, no late changes)

[DapperJong]

Please dont make Gleeson the sub

It's gonna be j merret

 

[eth-dog]

Well hes named on the bench and I think he's a chance to start SUB that is all....

Hows that half forward line!!!!

Watson Hurley Z.Merrett

love it

Cooney is the sub for me.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

In what sense? Because every AFL listed player can ''kick goals''

The AFL actually passed legislation in 2008 that prevents any goal kicked by Zac Dawson from being classified as a goal.

 

[quotemokc]

Please dont make Gleeson the sub

I have almost forgotten that he has been playing due to this

 

[Atavistic]

I like this week's changes, you know, apart from Colyer being out injured.

 

[Nasty Penguin]

Like the line-up although can't always trust they'll line-up as selected. NOB will be sub...
A glimmer of hope but still see us getting done

 

[ChampTurboBucko]

Stand by for a little jerret2zerrett magic

Look, I am quite happy to kick to my brother too! He's my bro!

 

[Mercurial89]

Surely NOB as sub is a waste. He doesnt appear to be a burst player. More your accumulator

 

[Harlequin]

Look, I am quite happy to kick to my brother too! He's my bro!

Zerrett2Jerrett also has a good ring to it

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Didn't we go through this a few weeks ago? He isn't playing well enough in the VFL, he is way off at the moment.

His recent game was pretty good, kicked 3 I think, but dempsey also played well

Glad obrien has gotten reward for effort and I hope he has a good game. Shame about fantasia, was impressive last week. Super happy kav is stringing games together.

McKernan is a welcome inclusion. Zaka alive? Club lies so much. Sad Laverde isnt getting a go but would also like him to play against melb and saints.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Nobby. Like it. Start him in the middle.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Nobby. Like it. Start him in the middle.

Makes sense.

inb4 played forward, doesn't score, dropped forever.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Tick

McKernan in
NOB in
J Merrett in
Ambrose out
Howlett out

Cross

Dempsey in
Cooney retained

Gotta be happy with that

Surely Cooney must be sub

 

[ManWithNoName]

Inb4 sub

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Inb4 sub

I really really hope not.

We could use medium-forward NOB at the moment, actually. I'm not suggesting it should actually happen, seeing as he hasn't been playing there, but playing in that latter-day Jobe role resting as a leading forward inside 50 would be pretty useful.

 

[60sbomber]

Don't mind the selections.
However, it does look a fairly ordinary team, unfortunately.

Based on form and capability, I can only rank 6 of the named 22 as a good chance to be effective, good players this week. They are Baguley, Hooker, Hurley, Heppell, Goddard (?), ZacM.

Anothers 8 I consider likely to be ordinary, due to form (Hibberd, Carlisle, Watson), match fitness (Winders) and in some cases limited potential (Smack as first ruck, Joe at this stage of his development) and Gwilt and Stanton because they are just modest at best at this stage of their careers.

The remaining 8 are probably not up to the task of playing well at AFL level against good opposition at this stage - maybe harsh on some, but in my opinion, a statement of reality at this point in time. There are a few among them that I hope for development from (Kav, JMerrett, Edwards, Gleeson) so I'm certainly not writing them off, but they can't realistically be expected to provide more than small contributions right now. And I'm not really expecting much from NOB (really approve the selection though, he has earnt it, and I hope he goes well), Dempsey, Melksham and Cooney.

A bit negative perhaps, but probably realistic.

if any one can make this win happen its me and my bro

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Found this on the team selection page on our site. Surely we wouldn't have both Hurley and Carlisle forward?

Zaka and Hocking are both in the twos. Fair enough. Probably concede this game, so they will be 2 handy inclusions against the Saints.

 

[ezard15]

hmmmm, Hurley AND Carlisle in the forward line.

I'd be happy for them to try it for the first quarter

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Makes sense I spose. We need a score and at the current point in time we need to test out options.

Zaka named in VFL squad, well, atleast he is playing. Plus I'd like to a win b4 williamstown to secure top 2 before we play footscray xD

Can't see it happening - Hale, Roughead and Gunston are playing.

Though Steinberg emergency, maybe somebody's out and there's some mental plan to bring him in and play Hurley forward.

 

[DapperJong]

I think Hale didn't play last time? He will improve their side by a fair margin I think.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Melksham to go nuts with 34 touches and 2 goals with a BOG performance in an upset 13 point win.

 

[Eleven 38]

That's why Steinberg is EMG, would be perfect matchup like when we put him on Ben Brown last year..
