Preview and changes here.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Only change I want to see is a change on the scoreboard in our favour.

 

[Slysh]

Does Nash hold his spot next week? Might be a little inexperienced at the moment.

 

[Guerrahappyteam]

Out: Stratton, Ceglar
In: Brand/O'Brien, Schoenmakers

Two rucks didn't work. Stratts impossible to replace. Work cut out to win this but kids will hopefully be better having had a taste of finals footy.

It has worked at times this year though, best team in the comp on a wet night. Cegs may go out but i would mind if we tried to stretch the cats if they make it though.

[Hawk_francais]

Two rucks gave us a huge dominance in hit outs. In my opinion that didn't amount to very much in a (mostly) wet weather game.

Howe proved invaluable, but clearly one of Ceglar/Nash should not have played. I would hope that Miles comes back in next week, I think a huge mistake to drop such a good ball user - we had no presence or composure off half back tonight.

Outs: Cegs Stratton Nash
Ins: Schoey Brand Miles

We were too tall and slow tonight given how few marks we took. Even though his stats don’t reflect it, Schoey makes our forward line better. Miles was stiff to be dropped and Brand.

Play Silk on ball as he won’t play as poorly as did tonight again.

Because hitouts is an absolute rubbish stat!!

Mirra or Miles is what I'm thinking.

In: Dry weather skills
Out: Fumbling like blind crabs

 

[LRobbo]

Let’s not got to negative here. Most sides who lose a Qualifying Final respond the following week.
We’ll be written off all week, particularly if we play Melbourne.

The lads will be keen to make amends for tonight, far from disgraced, just a lot of work to do

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Nash was ok. Definitely not in the bottom 15 tonight.

 

[GlenferrieOval3122]

The umpires are under investigation for not have read the afl rule book.

 

[Hawk Dork]

If its Melbourne bring in TOB he loves playing them

 

[Hawks851]

In:shoey, o brien miles/cousins

Out: ceglar Stratton Nash


Wow everyone wanted shoey dropped one loss and now he is back in

By the way I have always been a shoey fan he was playing really well as a defensive player before he did his knee

 

[Hawks851]

Nash was ok. Definitely not in the bottom 15 tonight.

Apart from his one mark and goal was hardly sighted easily one of the worst

 

[Gralin]

Apart from his one mark and goal was hardly sighted easily one of the worst

Fourth game and the ball was barely down there, he copped the usual rookie poor umpiring too.

Personally i was more worried about Gunston, Poppy and Breusts efforts but for different reasons

 

[tige19]

Nash was miles off it, can’t play.

Schoe and brand in
Stratton and Nash out

 

[HawkHead19]

Bring in miles. We need some composure and run off half back.

Schoey for Nash. Nash is the better long term but schoey gives structure.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Apart from his one mark and goal was hardly sighted easily one of the worst

Crashed that pack that lead to a goal. Took big hits and did more than most with just that

 

[Pessimistic]

Get experience for other youngsters. Win or lose

It’s not about this year, Tigers are sharp as this.


We were matching them in first half up to 5 mins off HT.

Ran out of gas
