Preview Round 4, 2023: Geelong v Hawthorn, MCG 3:20pm Easter Monday 10th April

[Strapping Young Lad]

Changes and all that in here.

No injuries known of as yet, and a bunch of players returning to form.

Go at it.

 

[PenAndPaper]

You'd think Wingard comes in but unsure who goes out for him.

Maginness maybe but he probably has a job to do on someone.

[wahawk]

I’ll arrive in Exmouth on Sunday.
Hopefully I can get tv reception in my van to watch it

 

[H00t]

I assume wings will come in, otherwise we should be unchanged.

Going to be interesting to see how quickly we move the ball against Geelong.

Do we go more conservative like this week or aggressive like the first two?

 

[Hodginator]

Bramble out, Wingard in

Impey sub

 

[Lawsy]

I know Geelong haven't played yet but we can't have Frost on Porkins so I think Blanck has to come back in. Who goes out I'm not sure yet because Scrim, Brocky and Harry all played well and I'd think Finn has a role to play..

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Not sure I want to win this, cant have Geelong getting Harley Reid

Right now Frost is miles in front of Blanck when playing on the key forwards.
Larkey is in better form than Hawkins and Frost did an awesome job on him.

Blanck has so much to work on, his positioning has been woeful and he’s been pushed off the ball way too easily so far this year.
I think he needs to put more bulk on too.
No way he comes in.

Conservative for sure. Why suggest otherwise?

We went aggressive all day down at Geelong and nearly lost by 100.

Today’s ball movement is the blueprint for the next few weeks at least.

[Coach Killer]

In: Wingard, Stephens
Out: Bramble, Finn

 

[Delecate Des]

I reckon we win this one

 

[madhawksfan]

Hopefully Geelong win tomorrow (feel dirty saying that) because they will be beyond desperate otherwise.

If fit, Finn stays in to do a job on Guthrie, Duncan or Izzy. No Stewart and a clearly underdone Porkins helps us also.

Wingard stays out for mine. Brocky’s game today was better than anything Chad has produced for a long while. Would be good to have another tall to negate the easy marks in their D50 but tough to drop anyone after today.

This will be a great test of how we backup a good performance against an experienced side who will get their customary 2-3 goal advantage from the umps.

Go Hawks.

 

[Mercy Seat]

In: Wingard, Stephens
Out: Bramble, Finn

No VFL this week, doubt we see Stephen’s for a few weeks at least.

 

[Brant]

Kosi will be better for the rest, after his workload from Rounds 1 & 2. Expect to see him straight back in & better for it.

Yeah I don’t know whether he deserves the spot, but youd think we’d probably want to play a key forward at the G on Easter Monday against their backline.

Harley Reid cup

Sorry.
Was completely facetious.
Shouldn't play again.

Orange font man!
Seriously though, I agree more or less, but I’d still wonder if they’d consider it in terms of structure. Geelong are a tall team.

Thank god... I had the longest reply in BigFooty history ready to go!

Hawkins has struggled so far this season. Lack of preseason looks to be impacting him

Although he may try to recapture his diving form from Easter Monday last year

 

[TylerDurden]

Chad in for Finn.
That would be it.

Bring em.
