Preview Round 22, 2022: Richmond v Hawthorn, MCG 1:10pm Sun 14th Aug

[Strapping Young Lad]

The 23 from last weeks win are still available so it is not like he can't field a competitive team

Sure. But we’re not playing the Suns, and being competitive is expected.

 

[MrPremiership]

This is a replacement game right?

Back in Aus and was going to attend

Really hope Saunders gets a shot to show if he can step up to the level.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[WWSD]

No Lynch, again.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Where's CJ?. Is he done for the year as well?. Bloke has had a bad run this year with injuries so he must of got another injury at training otherwise not sure why he isn't selected. Basically all 4 selections are based on whether we delist or trade at the end of the year and to give them 1 last chance. Shiels getting a final game for Hawthorn. The most blatent line of thinking all year and TBH shades of shutting up shop.

CJ is done for the year. Wrist. No surgery.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

12 players from the list now out for the remainder of 2022.

That’s a real stretch for a list with so many youngsters who’ve played less than 30 games.


Lower your expectations for any more wins this year me thinks.

It's a shocking run of bad luck this year. Could be why were getting across Peter Burge as we seem to not trust our strength and conditioning department to get our guys up and going consistently week to week.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

You would think Saunders misses as the club would have announced his debut some time today.

 

[Hodginator]

Blanck into the starting 18.

Disappointing no Lynch

I’d take a final bench of Jeka, Finn, Shiels and CMac. Serong would be a bit stiff though and I’d like to see Saunders.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Looking forward to seeing whether the new bloke Jack Scimshaw can play. Hope he's an upgrade on Scrimshaw, who was unlucky frankly.

 

[Hodgey 15]

I like how they've gone as Finn as the "poster boy" for this round.
It's got that "established in the starting 22" type vibe about it

 

[eldorado]

Maybe tomorrow, a few hours before the final squad comes out

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Maybe tomorrow, a few hours before the final squad comes out

Doubt it but hope so. I would pick him.

 

[Brishawk]

We need to make amends for the draw last year and the loss this year. Be nice if we could cause them to miss the 8

Also be nice to see Saunders get a game, should that happen. Has the speed we need.

 

[The hands of stone]

Team still looks ok to me , just really really really young

Be pretty sweet rolling them with that line up , realistically a good competitive effort is passable.

Has a bit of the launching for 2023 vibes

 

[bigmaxi]

Yeah exactly mate. Sure it's annoying if people don't wanna watch or go to games if they think we're gonna lose, but there's just as many (if not more) that can't for logistical reasons.

At the end of the day, as you say, it's your love. Your commitment. So why the * are you worried about what other people are doing? As long as you're happy supporting the club it makes no sense to even think about let alone pot others for how they show their support

Thanks, I stand corrected, Go Hawks

 

[Buttonsticher]

Hope Saunders plays, great kick IMO

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Box hill play Sat so well know who is in the mix for the sub role.

 

[rei154]

Shiels to start as the sub this week before send off game the following as starting 18?

You do have to question how much of it cost based and how much of it is fair weather, lots of heads I used to see weekly or near it at the footy between 2011-2016 I don't really see anymore. Maybe they've just had misfortune with money coinciding with us being garbage though.
