Preview Round 14: Hawthorne vs Essendon, York Park, Sunday 20/06/2021 @ 3:20 PM AEST

[justlookingaround]

When was the last time there was a sellout for footy in Tassie?

 

[DallasCrane316]

Francis is out. He’s been granted leave to return home for mental health reasons.

Hope he’s okay.

 

[andleanback]

Hope the trip home to SA does the lad some good, take all the time he needs. Should be able to cover him against hawthorn and Melbourne if need be.

 

[TheGrizz]

Zerk-Thatcher comes in for Francis then I would have thought

Reid might also be a possibility if the club reckons he's match fit after his two scratch matches. Probably a long shot though.

I’d say Cahill will be the sub and if Wright is out Phillips stays in.

 

[Megabattimus]

Big ups to Sam Durham for getting on the extended bench this early. Good chance he's only gotta string one or two VFL games together before he breaks into the team.

Lot's of bloody changes

That’s what I think too. Draper first game back. You’re not going to have him up against McEvoy and Ceglar. You’d need an appropriate backup. If Wright isn’t available, Phillips stays in.

 

[BomberTime]

Cutler named on the field... I’d say that’s the only error in team selection all year.

He’s a sub and nothing more.

Pretty much has to play with Zaharakis injured and Snelling a week or two away.

Me a couple of hours ago: Merrett's re-signed! s**t yes, this could be confirmation we're finally moving in the right direction and shedding the Essington tag

Me now: Oh nevermind, Cutler's back

 

[Kyptastic]

Cutler had some good VFL form before his injury. Hopefully he can recreate that at AFL level

 

[TheGrizz]

I imagine it is a Hind - Cox - Guelfi - Phillips bench with Cahill as the sub.

Cutler on the field is odd though...

 

[JuniorWatch]

That's a quick recovery from Reid.
Please no Cutler.

 

[eth-dog]

Surprised Smith was named on field given the injury update.

 

[threesixpio]

 

[Donakebab]

Hope Franky is okay.

 

[bombreys]

These young blokes watching Cutler get a free ride must have no idea what’s going on. If I was Cahill, I’d be absolutely fuming.

Also, why do we put Draper in the 2’s for a month but Cutler can just come straight back in without a lick of fitness?

 

[Beerfish]

Cutler on the field is odd though...

Pretty insulting to hawthorne

Looking at the bench, I'd say Hind, Cox and Guelfi are certainties. Last spot to be between Phillips or Wright pending Wright's fitness.

Cutler, Draper, Smith and BZT named on field so they're definite ins.

My guess is as follows:

In: Smith, Draper, Smith, BZT, Cutler and Wright
Out: McGrath (knee), Zaharakis (hamstring), Francis (personal reasons), Waterman (calf) and Phillips (omitted).

Cahill as the sub.

It’s actually a pretty strong team.
