I'm concerned about us playing all of Matt, Brad, and Sloane in the same midfield. It hasn't worked. Then we're adding onto that Keays and Poholke who are not quick

Yeah, that looks like a "we're worried if we win a game, it'll diminish our chances of getting a priority pick" lineup.

Slow midfield with the key pieces all actually being shithouse when combined together without a 190 cm midfielder, a defence that completely lacks in any sort of offensive drive and creativity bar Smith... though the forward line, looks ok at least on a structural standpoint, as much as Fog/Tex are just inviting the opposition to run off them.

We're certainly hoping the Hawks are checked out of this season and hoping to improve their draft position.
 
One thing going in our favour is Clarko won’t have worked on a game plan to beat us
Sticking to a rigid plan is the only way to even come close to losing to Adelaide. Teams that would otherwise be terrible, and who just look to cash in against a poor opponent by blasting it forward will win comfortably.
 
Wondering if we will see Hamill for the rest of the year or not. Really disappointing that tackle has stuffed his season. Backline is a carbon copy of the last 2 years that got us nowhere. Forward line will not kick a winning score imo. Only positive will be that hopefully some papers will be stamped once and for all after this game. Get on the hawks 2nd half when odds will be better after we put in for half a game.

What's the best way to watch the ggame tomorrow night? I've done my Free Kayo trial and not keen to spend $25 for the next month.

Is it on FTA on delay?

Yeah I get that.

I'd keep Sloane out at a minimum
Sloane needs to play the Lynch type role as a forward... with the odd tun off a wing. Particularly as he is not fit yet.

Brouch should spend sometime up forward & on ball, but preferably not when his brother is on ball. He could change with Polholke.
 
Has Crocker been dropped 3 times? It's definitely at least 2 times.

Can't be doing that on a 1 year rookie deal.
Will be surprised if he stays on our list.

50% stike rate with Keays as rookies though.

Who else would you bring in? Unfortunately injuries aren’t on our side and Sloaney is our captain. It’s nice to make calls on here about Sloane and Brad, but in reality if both are fit they will always play. We need them to perform to a higher level if we are any chance of completing a successful rebuild.
