Preview Round 6, 2020: Collingwood v Hawthorn, 10 July 2020, 7.50pm @ Giants Stadium

[Brishawk]

Would have to be our youngest side for a while.

Looks a bit “just play the kids-ish” though ...

yikes

Taking Burgoyne out makes it the youngest side we have played in a while

 

[rei154]

wouldn't bother man, same people bagging same players, same old sh*t

you know, you could just say 'i disagree with this selection for x reason but as a Hawthorn supporter i hope x player proves me wrong' but of course it has to be personal attacks and ridicule

not doing a whole lot of supporting...

Aren't wrong.
Both love and hate BF and this is partially why haha

 

[threesixpio]

I’m almost more excited about seeing Josh Morris due to our dwindling small-medium forward stocks

the trick to enjoying bigfooty is making sure your ignore list follows the principles of a good beard

it should be long and well-kempt

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

TBH I don't see any of these 3 being best 22 going forward. Happy to be proven wrong of course. I'm hopeful Jones/Day/Finn/Morris show some more potential

Agree but I just really want to see what michington can offer us as a pressure small fwd.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Hard to tell the difference between my three year old after a big day at daycare and some of the posters in here.

Stop being so precious. Saying someone is not up to it, etc. isn't a personal attack. None of the stuff in this thread has crossed any line at this point.

The crap posted here about other players is much much worse. So what if one of the players plays for the club you support? Would you prefer if everyone just supports blindly? People are supporting by saying certain players aren't up to the winning standard, given they want the team to actually win.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Which player will be next to debut, Walker?

Finn maybe?

If Clarko is going to rotate then there are a few players that will get a chance.

i disagree but thats fine

 

[Gaston]

With that head is Morris related to Wayne Weidemann in anyway?
If he is dashing and a bull like he was in his day, than we shall enjoy his career.

 

[Mrzohs]

Solid team selection always happy to see debutants when the team form is up and down.
Jones was hard done by but can only think for team balance or soreness.

Cegs and Tob big games coming up!

 

[Rev08]

Jones stiff but given we already have Day, Morris, Frost and Patton in the team with very little exposure to Clarkson's game plan I'm not surprised he opted for Morrison with a little more experience in that regard.

Remember, part of the reason we are 3-2 against some very good opposition is down to Clarkson's system. Fine to just want to play the kids but don't then complain when we lose most weeks.

 

[eldorado]

I was certain Jones would get another go...I can only guess it was a 'team instuction' thing, or soreness...

 

[Burtman]

Yeah first game in the big league, coming off a 5 day break, soreness would be my guess

 

[Mercy Seat]

Jones gets one game, shows promise and gets dropped? Ridiculous- takes away all excitement for the other debutants. Horrible decision

If it weren’t for the 5 day break he’d be playing. Takes a long time to build an AFL tank. He’ll be back next week.

 

[Bugs1977]

Jones not even an emergency lol

Whoever said it earlier I agree and reckon that maybe he didn’t pull up to well with the 5 day turnaround. This would probably explain why he wasn’t even named as an emergency.

 

[streetspirit]

Would hope that CJ is our next debut but he needs a LTI to play right?

 

[Slow Love]

Well last week was a pretty stark reminder that we aren't all that and a pack of chips AND the Pies will definitely be looking to restore some cred given Eddie's meltdown on Footy Classified on Monday night

Given that, can we add to the Pies suffering? This should be our goal and I think we can. It's a funny game because they'll be there at the pointy end of the season and we won't but with their outs and turmoil they're right for the picking. If Eddie is at risk of self-harm in the aftermath we need to give him our full support, that's what decent people do

 

[Mercy Seat]

Agree but I just really want to see what michington can offer us as a pressure small fwd.

This is a guy who could barely get on the park and was ditched by the saints when they were absolute rubbish. Then ditched by us at least once. Not sure why there’s so much hope around for this guy. But then again, Bigfooty...

 

[threesixpio]

Would hope that CJ is our next debut but he needs a LTI to play right?

Irrespective of the LTI issue he will never in a million years by our next debut








Cos he has already played a game....

 

[thejockey]

Love the ins , 2 good debutants in who can both bring something different to the side.
Exciting.

Jones stiff but clearly managed and will be back in soon. GWS ground is a cow paddock so would be heavy on the legs.

We have a block of games coming up with shortened breaks in a condensed season.
Its smart selection and dare say us and most other sides will rotate players in and out.

What I like about this site: Insights on how our club recruits from learned insiders, detailed constructive training and match reports from knowledgeable observers!

What I don't like about this site: Over excited keyboard warriors sh#t canning our players and thinking they have know more club coaching staff and match committee!!

Good luck to young Josh and Will, may you never incur the wrath of our so called supporters

Hope your three year old doesn't say "Daddy - the daycare selection committee can GAGF!"

while i agree with you, unfortunately, thats the internet... Full of trolls and super experts who are drunk on their own bathwater...

The new world of the marketers lies has deluded everyone into thinking they are special, and so are their opinions..
