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

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

We have the graveyard timeslot this year that rubbish teams get given.

Hopefully we can pick up a few wins and stick it up theAFL.

Sunday 3.20 in Tassie..... yikes.

And they have scheduled Norf vs Port tonight.

Gil the Dill can enjoy that with his au pair...

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.

The only reason why Gunners was back there was because we were missing Stratts. In a perfect world assuming Birch comes back I can envisage Sicily moved to CHF. Yes he's been our most creative in bring the ball out of our backline but we need someone who can clunk marks and kick goals and Sicily can do that.

 

[TylerDurden]

Surely TOB in for a run before he torments the Dees - it's common knowledge.

We look more experienced. Don't mind this team. Love Rough as the 2nd ruck - adds a lot up the ground - beautiful field kick.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Last chance Timmy O

 

[Bugs1977]

You reckon? Didn't Casboult tear a new one in the Dog's backline with his pack marking?

P.S. I thought we should have traded in Casboult just to have a marking option big bodied player to spill it to ground for our sneaky forward players. Our marking options up forward aren't flash.

So when you consider our KPD Frawley can't kick and you want us to trade in a KPF Casboult who can't kick either… hmmmmm yeah… nah

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Game no 47 for the Tobster and I can still count his decent games on one hand.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

carlton in far better form than us, we will need to improve on last few weeks effort to get over the line

They did lose to Sydney at home and Gold Coast in 2 of the last 3 rounds, so I wouldn't say their form is far better.

 

[TylerDurden]

They're going in with 4 talls on a cold and blustery Launie arvo. Bolts should know better being a Tassie boy. That's the ticket for ground balls and quick rebound to score.

 

[Bugs1977]

Apparently Curnow didn't train again today but will be on the flight to Tassie. He's been named but mightn't get up.

I hope he does get up. It's always good when a team plays and injured player and it doesn't work out.

Hasn't he used all of those up?

Hope he has a blinder, but just not seeing it...

 

[becalm]

Poor defensively. He is good going forward though and I don’t think that would hurt us right now. We kept him all this time so might as well give him a go.

If he can't get a game now you would think his papers might be stamped. Personally I don't think he has been given a fair go.

 

[threesixpio]

Sure Gunner’s leadership helps down back but FFS he is gun forward. Leave him there please Clarko or I will start crying

 

[threesixpio]

Hey folks, has O'Brien been playing as a KPD in the 2s? Or will he go forward? Cheers.

More a CHB than a FB. Ultimately suited to a third tall defender role probably. Strats might go CHB and Timmy as third tall.

 

[Dewnior]

TOB in allows Clarko to swing Sic forward

How many decent games did you play?

 

[Bugs1977]

TOB in allows Clarko to swing Sic forward

Yep. If you listened to Clarko’s interview during the week he was saying as a team we need to kick about 3-4 more goals a game to start winning games. It will be a full team contribution to get those goals but I fully expect to see the Sicily shift forward soon. Probably not permanently but I can see him be swung around during games. I’m all for it because the aim of the game has been to kick goals which we haven’t been able to do.

Maybe we can play Rough at CHB.....

 

[Nick the Pig]

Morrison's demotion had to be on the cards because he has not been playing at all well this season. However knowing Clarko's stubborness to drop his favourites im still a bit surprised. Cant remember when Morrison last missed a game.

TOB for Mirra is a bit like shuffling deckchairs (assuming TOB plays back) but they do have different strengths / weaknesses so lets see what Timmy can do. Maybe he will be our Liam Jones success story.

Nash simply had to be omitted after last game.

I could chop off my right hand and I'd still have too many fingers.

 

[PT Bar None]

TIM, TIM, TIM, TIM, TIM, TIM, TIM, TIM, TIM, TIM!


Wanting to see some sort of Shaun Marsh type behavior from Morrison now, having dropped back a level

 

[GlenferrieOval3122]

Hawks by 34 after Carlton annoying us all afternoon.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Most poster’s who love wielding the axe reaction to Mirra, Morrison and Nash getting dropped:




Then seeing O’Brien selected:

you know being a hawks supporter russell wouldn't play an injured player for any reason
