on 9 News sport just now said he expects both Walker and Ah Chee to play.
Said both are well and truly ready.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Good read tonight but can we win?

 

[Cromulant]

Good read tonight but can we win?

We were every chance to beat them down there last year.

Neither side are in the same form as we were last year though.

Id be surprised if we did win but if we play with the same intensity and effectiveness then sure.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ah Chee did the Monday press conference.

He's playing on Thursday. Said he tested his hamstring in the sanfl game. Will come in for Cumming, with Nankervis likely to go back.

Tex wanted to play on the weekend, so expect he will come in. Perhaps for ANB, as would give his knee 2 weeks off to recover.

Thilthorpe just running laps, so we would be silly to risk him, when he can have anothrr 2 weeks off with the bye as we need him right to head up the ladder.

One of Hawks weakness is their defensive groundball gets - so if our forwards don’t mark it they need to pressure their defenders - it was one of their significant weaknesses which Melbourne exploited greatly. Especially so with Barrass misding thru injury.

Rankine and Rachele should have a field day if done correctly.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hawks likely to have 4 handy ins... Gunston, Choi, Nash & Scrimshaw (last one little doubtful).

So a stronger side, something like...

B: Hardwick, Battle, Scrimshaw
HB: Amon, Sicily, Impy
C: Weddle, McKenzie, Ambrosia
HF: Moore, Lewis, Ginnivan
F: Choi, Gunston, Watson
R: Reeves, Nash, Newcombe
I: Ryan, Ward, MacDonald, Morrison, Meek

Nash will go to Dawson. Should we give Peatling the role on Newcombe?

Max to Watson. Think we need Muzz back to help combat their talls.

Thommo, Crouch and Douglas have also put their hands up to play.

You try telling Dangerfield he isn’t playing

Talia's hammy was just "awareness".

 

[Peter Doherty]

If Walker plays Thursday, that's a 21 day break since he last played.

Josh Rachele: Should I train with the midfield group this week?

Josh Rachele: Should I train with the midfield group this week?

The correct answer is: “No son, you are a flipping gun forward and we need you up there for 85% of your time on ground.”

Ask me again and I’ll give you a Vulcan neck pinch

What about Lance Piccione?

 

[Daniel6]

What about Lance Piccione?

Na, he’s an emergency for Hawthorn.

Another reminder that our new extra-navy jumper looks nice and mean v the old one.

 

[MrBarry]

The weather there this week actually looks reasonable, wasn't it -3 with wind or something last year?

 

[MrBarry]

Ahhh i see, I suppose we'll see them at some point.

Here's one, tackles to hurt as well.

 

[conVINCEd]

Humidity forecast to be in the 80s during the game. Not ideal.

At least both teams have the same five day break, both will be travelling and both coming off a home game.

8 degrees and humid? That's a new one

Humidity with low temperatures is common.

Just new to me then

If we play Murray, Borlase and Butts we lose.
I hope you dont mean that.

 

[MarcusP2]

Just new to me then

You never heard of
