Preview Round 2, 2020: Geelong v Hawthorn, 12 June 2020, 7.50pm @ GMBHA Stadium

[CD Xbow]

You guys are in trouble - we've been stabbing our players to make them match-hard!!

At least it's stabbing and not jabbing.

 

[tige19]

He doesn’t work at the club, nor is he on the board.

Thanks captain obvious.. I suppose being one of our greatest ever players and a club legend, he’d never be privy to any information huh?

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

We have options if he doesn't get up. Can't see how he wouldn't to be fair. Still 16 days to go and if it heals like their expecting he will play. Sounds like there playing it by ear with him. Finn could get a gig if he misses. Ready to go.

 

[Jaeger]

As long as we don't suffer more injuries between now and then, our depth is looking solid.

I don't know how they are going to fit Nash in the side but I thought he did some nice things at the end of last year.

Scrimshaw is another I was surprised didn't make the round 1 side. Seems to get better with every outing and is someone we should be getting games in to.

 

[Pessimistic]

Go strong but go safe.

Wasn't Scrimshaw injured?

100% agree.. need to get that starting 22 age level down a bit and he is the perfect guy to do that.

 

[Agent Smith]

As I see it, the only thing going for the cats is the oddball field, and Razor of course

Nothing surer of the umpires we're gonna cop.

 

[Roddy]

It doesn't seem to matter which umpires we get, there will be at least a phase in the game where they will fall all over themselves and turn themselves inside out trying to get the pussies over the line. Bookmark it.

 

[grumbleguts]

Because we are playing geelong we should probably give the kids a run. Like we used to for the gold coast.

 

[Hawker55]

You would think a minimum 2 weeks which see's him playing , just .
Larkins would be having an educated guess on not even seeing or being able to physical asses the injury .

I'll never forget Olarenshaw telling us in the 08 GF that Young had rolled his ankle but should be back out there in no time.\

 

[hawkguru]

1st time in a while we have a massive selection headache, we have hardwick, scrimshaw, gunston and lewis to choose from that weren't playing in r1 and I'm not even including impey. I would love those 4 above names to come in even impey but I feel it will be just 2 changes pending jaegers injury

In: Hardwick Gunston
Out: Morrison and ???

Gunner played r1.

If they move to 6 on the pine we could fit them in.

 

[Hawker55]

If this had happened last year, with 6 on the bench I'd have been all over re-drafting Dean Anderson to sit on the bench so we could get Noah.

 

[Pessimistic]

6 on the pine and 16m quarters is heaven for us. Therefore I'm not expecting it to happen

Father son is a discount now? should be pro rata

 

[WWSD]

I’m trying to figure out the reasoning behind playing McEvoy in defence. He’s coming off three consecutive career best seasons.

Wouldn’t McEvoy be better served as a marking key forward? For example if Ceglar is in the ruck and Patton is resting on the bench, why not put McEvoy at full forward? He has shown he can kick goals and also has the highest conversion rate of any Hawthorn player from set shots since 2015.

The worst part is the back six is already slow and lacks speed. There’s more then enough height down back. Frawley, Frost and Sicily can all play tall.

 

[Mrzohs]

Gunston & Scrimshaw ready to go??

It will be interesting to see who clarko lines up with in the tall deparment. I think M.Lewis might struggle to get picked with the new quarter format.
Mcevoy,Cegs,Patton will play, i can see Bigboy rucking when Cegs pushes fwd.

Listening to nik nat on the radio last week he thinks most teams will only play 1 ruck.
I.smith last week also said the hawks are training more explosive.

Gunston played round 1 so should be good to go

 

[Dewnior]

If the club are not allowing JOM any contact at training I just can't see how he'll play against the Cats especially given he hasn't had any contact at training for the last 2 months

He'll get into contact training before the game.

Whys that Pess? Good depth?

Thought we were built for endurance (Smith, Scully)?

 

[TylerDurden]

JOM in doubt.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Lewis would be stiff to miss. Still young but reckon he's as good as Patton
