Preview Changes v Hawks round 7

[Dory_77]

Weid maybe did enough to keep his spot another week.
Viney and Lever hopefully back in for Dunstan and Smith. Otherwise no changes.

 

[LeverPuller]

Out: behinds
In: goals

But seriously
Out: Smith, Dunstan
In: Lever, Viney

 

[Scythe]

Yeah Smith and Dunstan out for Viney and Lever seems logical. I'm sure there'll be another mystery injury or protocol entry by then though.

 

[ImissFrosty]

just swap Lever and Viney around

 

[dylan93]

As much as both Lever and Viney need to come in, it'd be stiff for anyone to be taken out.

Dunstan slotted straight in and I thought played rather well, however if Lever and Viney are cherry ripe then they come in for J. Smith and Dunstan I guess.

 

[Deemanding]

That'd be round 7

Assuming the whole COVID thing is fine for Viney and Lever and there's no other mystery injury or random COVID case then this might be the easiest changes the coaches will make this year.

*Round 7

Agree with everyone

Out: Smith, Dunstan
In: Lever, Viney

 

[Deemanding]

Oh and surely time to rotate the sub, Bedford now hasn't made it on the field for more than half of his personal games tally at this stage.

Yeah that rules dumb. No way you should get a game if you don't play

 

[LeverPuller]

While it should be like for like if they’ve actually had the rona wouldn’t be surprised if they miss again

 

[A Cut Above]

Best of luck guys. I loved watching you salute last year and am hoping for a Dees B2B in 2022. Hard to see anyone else getting close at this stage.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Lever and Viney in for Smith and Dunstan seems like the most uncontroversial set of changes I can remember.

 

[Proper Gander]

Yeah I thought this. The “AFL Protocols” thing doesn’t distinguish between actually having the virus and isolating as a close contact.

I hope Lever is well at the least. Don’t really want to watch too many games involving Smith this season if possible.

Probably the worst game I've seen from an MFC player since 2019.

4/5 kicks missed the target, 8 clangers, 9 turnovers and 4 frees against leading the field in both. 4 shots at goal leading to 2 behinds and 2 OOTF. Not asking for him to be dropped, but the coaches need to put him on notice. Played Hollywood football and was punished. You're not Trac or Oliver, play your role.

9 tackles saves him from vfl, at least gave something defensively

Rivers lucky that Salem/Hibberd aren't available or he'd be feeling the pressure.
Second year blues in his 3rd season?

agree, hes been horrific in a few games this year. Looks out of form completely.

there is actually a bit of a trend with those who debuted in 2020 with the weird games that they have the 2nd year blues now

 

[schmuttt]

Forward pressure needs to be right up this week, hawks generate a ton of scores from their back half.

 

[Crusty Demon]

How far away is Hibberd and Salem? Riv needs a spell in the two's. Keeps his spot most likely but he's looking more shaky than Hunt right now.

Viney and Lever in for Smith and Dunstan. Pretty easy changes this week you'd think. I'd be surprised if Dunstan keeps his spot..

 

[Tulip]

Hunt has hit some form, which is nice. Would be good to make Riv earn it. He's a weapon when in form.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Deakyn Smith shows a bit of promise, good ball user, hopefully he start pushing some of these blokes for selection.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Rosman seemed to play a fair bit on half back yesterday also, thought he was good

Not scared to put his body on the line . Will have to bide his time atm .

 

[rhaz]

Is Tracs knee okay? Didn't seem himself last night and we're only on a 5 day break.

The Hawks are a legitimate team so I don't want to take the piss, but thinking well ahead these days...
