Preview Round 6, 2019: Hawthorn v Carlton, 28 April 2019, 3.20pm @ York Park

[Mrzohs]

Alright guys here it is after watching the Anzac day match and Essendon was outclassed in the first half, what kept them in the game x factor in there fwd line big marks and two massive kicks from Joey d and stringer.

When I look at our team in our fwd line we don't have anyone to take pack marks or kick long goals in our 50.
We use to have Franklin and roughy.
The one guy that can do it is playing C.H.B its time to grab the bulls buy the horn and play him at C.H.F
We are screming out for a bloke to sit on ppl heads that our small guys can rover to rather than be the long option, breust wingard and poppy game would all improve with high flying forward.
Roughy can no longer do this.

We have Stratton Scrimshaw and even Birchall if he ever returns who can play this role. tob and c.j are learning at boxhill.. you could even play gunston back there if you are really worried or im sure roughead would relish the role.

My forward line would be
Poppy Lewis Gunston
Wingard Sicily Breust.

With both Ceglar and TOB named I feel a McEvoy won't be on the plane come Saturday.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Agreed, but can we go again with Mirra and Nash? This is how bad the situation is.

Yeah our stocks are pretty depressing aren't they ?

Diabolical

 

[Mrzohs]

Ceglar will do a good job in the ruck if mcevoy doesn't get up

Gawn on a 6 day break too. Doubt they'll risk him.

I think Cegs being named on the extended bench was a safety net in case Big Boy has any hiccups later in the week. I read somewhere that the club allayed any fears of him being injured on Tuesday.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I hope it's Nash, Morrison and O'Brien that are the outs. I'd prefer Mirra to O'Brien. Though I guess beggars can't be choosers really.

Mirra is strictly a shut down player he is a one dimersional player,
At least O'Brien can play at both ends and is good with the ball in hand.

Seems to play well as the solitary ruck does big cegs

He's a worse defender, is generally a deer in headlights and is completely ineffectual up forward. The fact he's more versatile means nothing really when he's just not up to the standard in any position.

The only positive would be allowing our best forward actually play in the forward line. Gunston in the backline is a ridiculous waste, especially when we are one of the lowest scoring teams currently.

90 points last week but still lost.
Wouldn’t call us if one of the lowest scoring teams .
That said, be great to see Stratton back Gunston forward .

You’d think Gunston compliments Lewis to wouldn’t you? Remember when Worsfold was trying to turn Stringer into a mid? What a disaster.. now look at him, so bloody dangerous as a forward. Same with Gunno, he is head and shoulders our best forward, why on earth we want him to play defence is beyond me, especially with Scrim showing great signs as an intercept marker and a solid defender.

I think we are 9th on avg, so I guess we aren't one of the lowest. However, we should be one of the highest IMO with the players we have.

 

[ScottMaginness]

Hope Gunston starts as a forward. Lewis to FF.

Rough Gunston Breust
Wingard Lewis Puopolo

Match-ups down back will be interesting.
Brand on McKay, Stratton on McGovern I would have thought.
If Charlie Curnow plays might have to think about sending Stratton to him and make Sicily accountable for McGovern. That would make for an interesting duel in the air.

Maybe we are going to go tall because they have Curnow, Mcgov, McKay and Casboult in their forward line.

Just had to actually get the ball in his hands first. Nowhere near as deserving as Mirra at this stage. Mirra has done it down back at BHFC for years. O’Brien hasn’t even managed to do it there, let alone AFL.

 

[WWSD]

We are not winning if Gunston is playing in defence.

 

[Red Bull]

Reckon 1 change for us ,
Cuningham for Polson.
Thoughts on Big Boy getting up ?

 

[PhatHQ]

Scrimshaw, Shiels, TOB (can’t believe I’m saying this), Morrison play

Nash, Mirra, Ceglar out

Bahahaha!!!
Awesome.
Seriously, he is better than Nash & Mirra put together

 

[The German Hunter]

I'd also be disappointed if TOB plays, we've seen it 46 times and we know what it's like.

Save him for Melbourne the week after

 

[Snibs]

They won’t play all 4. Casboult to make way for Curnow.

 

[lethalselbow]

Back to basics, bring back the box! It sure worked when Franklin, Rough, Willo and Boyle were learning their craft.

Always love a good box.

Bring it back!

 

[lethalselbow]

I know its been said many times, maybe not this week but sometime this year Roughie should go to CHB when Lewis is playing. This may even extend Roughies career.

The Roughead to CHB has been going around for a decade. Even when he was winning the coleman medal.

Looks like he's playing in the centre from time to time and will be reading play and playing all over the park. Best thing for him. Our backline isn't an issue.

What?!? Hawthorn with a star being a late out??!? That would never ever happen....

(I fear you're going to be right)
