Preview Round 17, 2019: Hawthorn v Fremantle, 13 July 2019, 2.10pm @ York Park featuring the return of Grant Birchall

[SuperSic]

Not to derail this thread, but the footy team on MMM implied something a few weeks back about his attitude and him needing to do things the Hawthorn way.

If you’re relying on Triple M for your footy insight then you’re absolutely screwed. They have a panel that consists of Carey, Judd, Darcy and Barrett... Biggest pannel of f***wits I’ve ever seen in my life.

I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Chad has a bad attitude. In fact those with contacts inside the club have actually told us this is not the case.

He’s a Hawthorn player and a superstar, let’s back him in for once.

I actually made the same comment (re Tassie) myself earlier.

On reflection, if a person returning from injury is dependent on weather and conditions then they really shouldn't be playing either way.

Except for Cyril... he was royalty

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Why 14?

13 plus an initial g'day.

 

[Argy]

Sandilands will only play in home games I expect.

Why? Can’t he fit on the plane?

Superstar might be overstating it a tad. Sam Mitchell was a superstar. Tom Mitchell is a superstar.
Wingard had two very good (AA) seasons 5 years ago and hasnt got back to those heights since. I would say he is a very talented but incosistent player.
Superstars bring it every week, every year.

Chad training with mids today.

Youngest AA since Mark Ricciuto and was there twice by 22, harder to make a case that he isn't a superstar.

Team selection going to be interesting tonight, my gut feel says Chad and Birch in and Srimmers to play at Box Hill.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Chad training?

This must be Birchal, but the comments are very funny .

If Birch stays on the park the rest of his years with us it will give Clarko so me options to flip the magnets around.

I'm so happy about this I can't stop smiling. HUGE inclusion this one.

 

[CHUBBSS]

The Lid is off Birchall named, I wouldn't be surprised if we make finals now...

 

[TazHawk15]

No better place to do it than on a sunny Saturday afternoon in Tassie.

It will give Birch a break from the cold and wet of Melbourne.

As I predicted.

Have you watched his last few years?

He's not a superstar. He may be one day, but he is miles off it right now.

Did you watch him at all last year? He was a monster midfielder.

Would he be in the top 50 players in the comp as we speak based on his recent performances? I think he would struggle to make the top 100. He may be top 20 in potential but i prefer to rank players based on their output not potential.

Big Conor.

 

[hawkman]

Birchall isn’t going to pass up an opportunity to make his long waited return in his home state which might be for the last time.

We play down there in 2 weeks again
