Preview Round 1 2022- Hawks v Roos MCG - Sunday March 20- 1.10pm

[Merlin007]

Young/Scott over Powell is disgusting.

Amazing how a pre-season of optimism I haven't felt in over two decades can be crushed by the thought of Lachie ******* Young caught out one on one in the goal square as the last defender against some Hawthorn scrub so-called KPF who will end up the contemporary equivalent of Randall Bone.

who's your 7th defender then?

 

[Mav]

and so the games begin. 2 wings and no inside mid on the bench, but Greenwood is named on a wing!

Amazaging to think there is no WiPi or Powell in the side. We love ******* our picks

JHF is going to get some big minutes in the middle.

is a bit of a round one specialist.

Averages 19 touches, 3 tackles and 2 goals in round one, compared to 11.5 touches, 1.8 tackles and 0.5 goals in not-round one.

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Young ahead of Powell why?

Defensive winger.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

I can take or leave Young. I don't dislike him as much as others and actually thought he played some okay footy at the start of last year when we were dreadful.

But no Tom Powell is genuinely baffling. It must be something behind the scenes that's being demanded of him that he's not quite doing at this stage and they think he needs a reality check. that's all i can think of it being. on talent alone, he's selected every week.

 

[kool kangas]

Surprised Scott instead of Powell but in Noble l trust...

 

[roos_fanatic08]

in Scott's case, running power, and in Young's case, flexibility to play wing and HBF. Can't play everyone

Scott you can make a case for but Young is downright terrible. I’d back Powell in a one on one with a 190cm forward over Young any day of the week. Young is fickle and really offers up nothing at all, either offensively or defensively.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Walker should be in over young but Covid so I can cop that
Powell over scott

 

[hotchilli]

Realistically if we don't pick Young we probably are picking Hayden as we aren't taking Powell in the game as a defender.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Well I am VERY excited to see Young take possession 30 metres out from his own goal, and kick it straight out on the full. Love it

 

[Reginald0]

sheesh, you would think our backline is full of stars from this carry on
Turner can’t kick
JZ falls over
Hall kicks it all over the place
lmac misses targets
and McKay is semi invisible and Corr completely invisible
walker must give away 2 goals each and every game
the other blokes are always injured

young should fit right in

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Young slotting into the Atley whipping boy role like a glove

Young slotting into the Atley whipping boy role like a glove

Well to be fair, he’s got to play 200 games to reach those lofty heights

 

[The Warlord]

who's your 7th defender then?

None, play Powell, go balls to the wall attack.

 

[The Warlord]

Scott you can make a case for but Young is downright terrible. I’d back Powell in a one on one with a 190cm forward over Young any day of the week. Young is fickle and really offers up nothing at all, either offensively or defensively.

Powell is smart and would use his body well, Young's best talent is looking rueful as he rakes his studs across the turf to indicate the mark after being soundly beaten in the contest.

 

[Psicosis]

Worst match committee decision under Noble to date.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Hope Lachie sticks it up all of us

 

[Frank Thring]

There is no way Powell won't be playing. I think either Hall or Polec will be a late out.

 

[shinboner magic]

Young has to be picked or we’d have only 6 defenders and Scott has had a better preseason that TP.
I don’t mind it

 

[The Nostradamus]

Surprised Scott instead of Powell but in Noble l trust...

He’s having a laugh

Hopefully rectifies that change next week

Hope you are okay after seeing Scott, Polec & Mahony all in the 22.

My gut very much agrees with all this. Only hopeful sign I can dredge up is I remember in last year’s game against Hawthorn, I believe Young performed well and produced one of the most selfless acts of the season running back with the flight of the ball very late in the last quarter - possibly, ensuring we won the game. Am I dreaming that up or did it happen?

I hope he does too but he's more likely to stick the pill straight the bloke in row G's gob

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I'm one of the few to go into bat for Lachie. I actually rate him as a decent enough defender and his better games in the VFL have been as a defender, including on the last line of defence. The problem is that he plays wing at afl level and it does not suit him.
