Preview Round 9, 2021: Hawks v Roos, 2:10pm 15th May @ UTAS

[TylerDurden]

Their VFL team (Kangaroos that is) was forced to play with 16 at one point on the weekend, indicating just how bad injuries have hit the club.
We cannot lose this game or all hell will and should break loose.
No excuses!

We can.

Gotta say the Hawks vs North down in Tassie is about as Off Broadway as it comes right at the moment

Although the matches are often not pretty we play this ground really well so I am confident we will win (which would make two of our three wins in the Apple Isle so far this year). Especially now Higgins isn't playing for them because he always used to turn it on big time whenever we played the Kangas.

That's not just off Broadway - its not even in Manhattan, in fact I'd say its beyond the five burroughs and probaby heading towards Hackensack

I'll be pretty disappointed if we manage to lose this. North can barely field a full side atm.

Their bottom 6-8 playing should be alot worse than the ones we are fielding.

We will win.

Yep. Plenty confident.

 

[MrPremiership]

Confident, but just want to see improvement on a game style, ball movement and see some kids stand up and have good games.

 

[KermitJagger]

There's no way we should lose this if we get O'Meara back into the side.

In: O'Meara, Gunston, Brockman, O'Brien
Out: Jeka, Moore, Howe and Hartley

 

[MrPremiership]

Bonar out for 8-12 weeks with an ankle injury.

Not sure North have enough cattle to field a side.

 

[KermitJagger]

AFL website proposing that we omit Brockman to bring Brockman back into the side.

Him out improves them even if replaced by a witches hat.

Sam Mitchells weekly Box Hill report was glowing of Damon Greaves.

Like the idea of him coming into defence and allowing one of Impey/Scrimshaw/CJ to play further up the field.

2 changes wasn't drastic enough for a losing side, was it?
The ability to proof an article before publishing it no longer seems to be a required skill in this day and age.

If Hartley was brought in to deal with the eagles talls, well OK, maybe. But surely he wouldn't play over Greaves this week.

Also fck, that is some depressing reading.

 

[Timo pez]

Oh man you will regret that thought. Watch closely the risk he took not defending his direct opponent on occasions on Sunday, he would have given Kelly five plus metres at times.
Playing with fire there in my humble.

He shows courage in the air at times, but not sure how his physical efforts and tackle will go playing on ball.

JOM back this week.
Gunner test.
Day 4-6
DGB 3-4.

Could be innovative team selection from Clarko , ahead of the comp once again

DGB 3 to 4 surely then needs 6 to 8 at BHH.

DGB 3 to 4 surely then needs 6 to 8 at BHH.

I'd be hoping for 4 games at Seniors towards the end of the year, all going well.

Seamus still indefinite sucks

You think no chance we see him at afl level this year. He missed a full year of development last year and is at least 4-6+ weeks from playing at box hill (using day moving from indefinite to 4-6 weeks as a guide).

Brockman the omnipotent, can be both omitted and included. Multi-dimensional talent.
