Preview Hawks vs Dogs - Round 16, 2018

[IdiotBox]

Wow. Cyril's retirement has really knocked the stuffing out of this thread.

Hoping like hell Gunners is good to go and that Worpel gets another shot at it.
2 of TOB, Duryea, Langers to be omitted.

If the Doggies continue on the trajectory of the past fortnight we are in for a tough night.

 

[Wundo]

Reckon he looked good as a junior forward because he was 2m tall & his physical attributes made up for a lack of nouse?

It certainly worked for me when I was younger and had hair.

 

[Wundo]

Where does your confidence come from?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Anyone know if Gunston has trained this week ?

 

[IdiotBox]

Where does your confidence come from?

I'm just guessing...

 

[SA HAWK]

You would have to wonder how flat the group is after Cyril retiring and how much it might affect them this week.

More like do the opposite

 

[Dave Id]

Saw a flat Bulldog recently.
Another animal was pumping it up.

 

[PhatHQ]

Langford out & Gunston in...
I’d like to see Langford & Morrison out with Gunston & JOR to come in.

The young bloke needs a spell & some touches. Even a couple of weeks in the twos & refresh, then roll him out for the rest of the year.

 

[KermitJagger]

Gee wiz Miles in, if O'Rourke is behind miles he's in big trouble.

 

[Mitchell54]

Out: O’Brien(omitted) & Langford(injured)
In: Gunston & Miles

[PhatHQ]

Doh! Poor Timmy

 

[Dewnior]

Miles to play forward I assume. Worpel obviously doesn't have the tank to run out the game.

 

[VandoHawk]

I really like Miles across halfback. Watching Box Hill his creativity and ability to link up is impressive - much better than last year. I see potential in him and hope he takes his chances. Box Hill look noticeably worse when he isn’t there. He has attributes that distinguish him from a list clogger.

That being said, I hope we don’t use him as a pressure forward. Doesn’t have the raw speed and power that makes defenders nervous, and wastes his ability to start attacking chains. Would rather Jars return forward.

Yep. I’ve liked his work at Box Hill. Hope he does well.

 

[Numtums]

Doh! Poor Timmy

Clarko must have found the photos!

 

[Argy]

Doh! Poor Timmy

Displaced by Ceglar who does a much better job. Very under rated.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Miles in well everyone knows my thoughts on him but at least TOB and Langford are out. I like Harry Morrison as a kid but geez if we had any depth he'd have been dropped by now.

 

[lethalselbow]

Good ins & outs.

O'Brien & Langford both out of form. Langford would have gone even without the finger, imo.

Hope that Gunston is a genuine IN and isn't a late change.

 

[Roddy]

Just had one of those awful moments where I saw that the team was in, for a split second my brain went 'I wonder if Cyril's in this week...oh wait."

 

[Rev08]

Given Miles strong form has been across half back, expecting Impey to go forward and Miles to half back. Impey, Pop and Duryea as the pressure forwards.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I knew Miles could get picked as he's been pretty good for Box Hill, personally still don't think he has the scope to be a good AFL player though.

 

[Yuley95]

Glad to see Glass stay in. Hope he can build some confidence and have an impact

 

[becalm]

Hope for sake Miles he has a good one. He probably is on trial to see if he stays. For a player of his build he doesn't seem to have any attributes that are special.
