they cut out a decent chunk. It'll be the lip healing that'll keep him out.

Yep would be very sensitive around that area and you would be be in major pain if the area was hit. Don't think the surgeon would be keen on his handiwork being subject to an AFL game too quickly.
Wouldn't want to split it open either. It'd make Spurr's head wounds look like a paper cut

It's a pity that we don't atm have some Soloman type thug on the list that's a certainty to retire anyway that we can send over just to belt some of their players.

We had one but he "retired" during the year.
I'm not sure if his beach muscles would have been quite enough to do too much damage out there though.

Hawks look vulnerable. Take the full strength team - well as vulnerable as they'll ever be

Sending a B grade team there is a cowards decision, a sign that we are saying we are not good enough so we have to rest players in case something happens. This is a chance to exert an important mental edge in our biggest opposition threat to the flag.

A truer post on the subject has never been typed. Go for the mental edge, go for the points buffer, go to see where we are truly at.
The best part of this game is that we will become the hunters again and the stakes are low. If we lose it won't matter too much, we go back to the drawing board and see what we can do better. If we win we actually have confidence that we can beat them away from home and dent their chances at top 4 a little. Why wouldn't we take our best?
No idea Reggie, im not going to the game but can find out for you.

Agree. Plus imagine the carnage it will do to our squiggle if we tank
To be fair, we've been looking vulnerable too and their vulnerable looks a lot better than ours.

Because the FFC admin don't kick up enough of a fuss with AFL House about it.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil.
Plus the AFL think it is smart to send a team that draws a poor crowd in Melb (read FFC and WCE) to tassie.
I agree that Pav should stay home. It will probably be wet in tassie as well. Sending a slightly smaller team could be a smart move.

No need now, I rang the club.
To unlock access to the Fremantle cheer squad area, the offer code is "purple". Now we all know.
I see in the local papers that they are expecting a "massive" crowd of around 16K.
Because we stuffed up our chance to beat them at the MCG last year, and weren't competitive. Banishment to Tasmania was the punishment. That's where the minnows go.
Crowd capacity at Aurora Stadium varies according to the AFL's perceived local interest in the scheduled game....
I see in the local papers that they are expecting a "massive" crowd of around 16K.
Hawthorn v major Victorian club: 20000 people.
Hawthorn v major non-Victorian club: 16000 people + 12000 sheep.
North Melbourne v West Coast: 2000 people + 20000 sheep + 10000 ducks (10044 if you include the players).
From memory the crowd down there for our last game in Tassie was very poor, was hoping that after that they wouldn't send us down there again for a long time.
