Spangher and Schoenmakers imo with Hale and Mcevoy getting down there as well, Bruest and Puopolo to play their normal roles although i would think there is going to be a heavy focus on Bruest being the 1 major player up forward for us. We will hopefully from a hawks perspective see the benefits...
Yep, would probably come back via BH under normal circumstances i would think, we will rush him back though as we basically have Hale and Schoenmakers as our Key forwards this week. Need the flexibility of throwing Spangher up there when needed so Lake has to play.
We dont risk another week if we do appeal, would be bizarre if we didn't considering we will have a makeshift forward line without 3 of our guns up there against a fellow top 4 rival. I dare say if Gunstan was available and Rioli we wouldn't appeal. You might see Brian Lake at FF next weekend.
Hockey loves getting on the defensive and doesn't like being criticized does he? They have been concocting bull crap excuses and explanations ever since they released the budget knowing full well how diabolical it is. Hey Joe you can spin it anyway you like ie claiming lower income earners will...
How good was that level when we piled on 7 goals in the 3rd qtr?, it must be an insanely high level that we have to get to. Its laughable that the media still think they are the team to beat really. Going on about injuries to key players last week and not playing well and all that jazz, they...
Garry Lyon doesn't give the plebs the time of day when out in public, seems like a geniunely good bloke on TV but from all reports is far from that when the cameras are off.
People don't seem to get the Capper at all, his whole persona takes the piss, sure he probably is full of himself but he exaggerates it to boost his profile. I have heard from a few people that the guy is actually not a bad bloke, dont just see him for what he portrays.
Buddy is nothing more than a brand now, he and Jesinta want to be the aussie Posh and Becks by the sounds of it or more to the point Jesinta wants to be known as that. Does Buddy get a say in anything or is Jesinta making the decisions for him?. Not that he even cares what people think. he can...
You would have to think that someone in the backline who doesn't normally play tall will have to on satday night, I would have gone for Lithers but with Duryea out he will take Mcglynn or Cunningham i believe instead. Stratts will go to either Reid or Goodes imo, the smoky in the pack is Hodgey...
All the indicators suggest the hawks are putting alot of energy into this match, you could call it season defining for us in a way. Gibson and Hill both rested so they are cherry ripe for this game. I would think the "just doing enough" way we have won games this year will not cut it Saturday...
Your forgetting the fact we had 3 of our starting mids not playing, which is why you gained the ascendancy in there to begin with so you could have your 30 shots on goal.
Sums it up here, it's the "were better and more important than everyone else" attitude, they should worry about being a successful club instead blowing smokes up eachother's butts about being the next Manchester United and being as rich as Clive Palmer. Scoreboard is were it matters.
We could possibly throw Billy Hartung into the mix next weekend for the extra run and pace if we think he is ready for a game like this. Has similar attributes to Hill just not as advanced in his development. The 2 of them won us the game against GWS with the spark and run they provided, bit...
