We have missed Croady
The premature retirements of he and big Bob have left holes that are still being felt 4-5 years later.

We have missed Croady
Last time Hawthorn played the Lions at the G, Trent Croad took a HUUUUGE hanger over J Brown in the centre square
I remember that game. Buddy kicked a goal on the boundary and we gave it to all these lions fans who bagging him all game and my mate almost got into a punch up.
We won by 50 points didn't we?
This will be my first game I have been to since we lost to the Cats round 2 so I'm hoping it's another 50 point win..
Can't stand the calls to drop Savage, why ??
Doing a run with role, as others have pointed out, and doing it nicely.
Why don't we just drop anyone with pace and play all the slower guys !!!
No change this week , Hill as sub may get more game time and looks the goods( although he does look like he's about 14 years old !!)
Not sure who drops out for Hodge in the future, loath to lose pace in our side
Interesting to see whether Voss uses Merrett forward to stretch our short backs or back to stop our forwards stretching them.
Expect they'll start with him forward. I'd probably put Schoey on him to start and Gibbo on Brown.

Hill's body just isn't upto a full game. Twice the ball was kicked to him in one-on-ones and twice he was outmarked.
Not saying the kid can't play, just saying he is suited to the sub role at this point in time.
And in regards to the arguments against Savage getting dropped - Cassisi is hardly a game winner and I would argue that a tag on him is somewhat unnecessary, but then again I'm not a coach and nor did I watch the game live to judge his influence off the ball. Having said that I would rather give him a spell and see what Schneider brings to the chemistry. Have him sub and give Hill a full game before the bye. Hill trigger shy on tackles, but receives a pass for now.
Interchange infringement!They have to start forward. Turns the game into Russian Roulette as opposed to letting us play eighty seven guys on Brown and killing them on the rebound.
An unchanged side, with Hill as the sub -but for godssakes Clarko, give your sub more than a 1/4 of game time, especially Hill to show us he deserves to be in the starting 21.
Absolutely, i would love to see the sub get more game time but the risk is just too big to mess up the system we have in place right now.Pull your sub early and then cop an injury, it suddenly inconveniences every player left out there since there are less rotations available.
Play the sub later, and you only inconvenience one person... the sub himself.
Really, really disturbed...Clear use of Croad's hands on Brown's head there, should have been a free kick
Seriously though is anyone else a bit disturbed by the heavy panting during the black and white slow-mo? I mean, I love Hawthorn as much as the next guy, but... well... not as much as that guy.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was Croady himselfReally, really disturbed...

Conversely, holding off on introducing the sub for too long can disadvantage the whole team. If what you need is run or height or whatever, they can't do much good sitting in the orange. Or if starting player is having a stinker or is superfluous to how the game is being played, then not subbing them off also leaves you at a disadvantage. In that scenario, the whole team can suffer because of the reluctance to make a sub. A coach said to me that the sub is a serious tactical decision and the decision about who/when and why is very fluid.
Point taken.
I was coming from from a rotation/fitness angle Grizz (which is what the sub was originally for) rather than the tactical use of the sub.
