Preview Changes V Hawks

[Ravenous Crow]

Who Tags?

Maybe Vince again? Or Hendo considering Lynch is on the field.

My guess is that Kerridge will go to Mitchell. Maybe a forward tag on Birchall by Jaensch. If Wright's the sub and they need another tagger then maybe try Mackay - couldn't be much worse than any other role he's played this year. I love Lyons but he would make Brent Reilly look like a good tagger.

 

[Elite Crow]

Sorry mate, but would anything they do appease you?

I'm most pleased when they get it right such as dropping Petrenko finally.

Does Lairds out mean Jaensch goes back?

Or does Petrenkos out mean Jaensch is the defensive Forward

 

[FAITH]

Smack is very good in ruck, jenkins not so much and jacobs not in form.
I would have picked mckern over johnstone just bec jacobs needs help.

Smack is also better in afl than sanfl bec the speed of the game suits him

 

[Wood_Duck]

Finally those clueless selectors pick lyons and keep lynch in.
Now riley next week please

Yeah mate, can't believe they don't ring you before they do anything. Don't they know you can see the future?

 

[Firewalker]

well, looks like it's Smack's turn to shine

 

[FAITH]

Looking forward to the TOAST. Shaun Mckernan thread coming up in the not too distant future.

Hope ur rit but not very confident

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Hope ur rit but not very confident

Have some Faith.

I think Jaensch stays forward and he'd be there to kick goals and lay tackles. You just can't carry a forward to be defensive and do nothing else when your forward line is already weakened.

 

[ltdamn]

So, in summary, one player is omitted from last weeks team?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Finally Petrenko gets dropped. About bloody time.

 

[Elite Crow]

Yeah mate, can't believe they don't ring you before they do anything. Don't they know you can see the future?

It's got nothing to do with seeing the future if you can learn from the past

 

[FAITH]

Have some Faith.

Had him rated better prospect than davis really hope he shows what his got

 

[Wood_Duck]

It's got nothing to do with seeing the future if you can learn from the past

It really wasn't about you.

 

[PykeDream]

Hawks playing three ruckman

 

[JP Sauce]

McKernan offers more. LJ is a one trick pony.
Jenkins now stays up forward. He gives Jacobs more of a rest too

One trick is better than none.

 

[ltdamn]

Obviously Petrenko's game last week was worse than Porplyzia's which is why the Porpoise is coming in?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Why is McKernan in and Johnston isn't? Seriously, what does he have to do to get a game. This was the perfect opportunity for him with Walker out yet they still don't pick him. Baffled.

not sure why the confusion then .....only one conclusion; he's not rated highly enough by the selection committee

saw some training vision the other day ....and LJ was in the sequence ....talk about casual ..looked like he was there simply to smell the grass

Jenkins has to play CHF ....and McKernan at FF

McKernan doesn't have fitness or ability to turn around quickly .....he's a straight ahead running guy ....FF only resting with Jacobs

I recon the only reason LJ has been left out is because Smack can assist in the ruck, and with the hawks are playing Hale, Bailey and Roughead we need to opt for height. LJ may well get his opportunity in the next few weeks or so but it will probably be at the expense of Lynch who in my opinion is doing a very good job as a lead up forward. Also Lynch has a really good engine and has been likened to the endurance of Nick Riewoldt so he could play further up the ground on a wing or at half back. It all depends on injuries last year we had none, it looks like this year we won't be so lucky

 

[WWSD]

Hawks playing three ruckman

With Hale and Bailey in the same side, It means Roughead spends more time at full forward. So only two genuine rucks.

 

[McCauley]

Smack is garbage. Please prove me wrong and us wrong.

I hope by 730pm Saturday night I made the wrong comment.

 

[Schulzycrow]

Props might have been training the house down but needs a big one this week to repay Sando's faith. Would play him out of the goal square as a leading forward. Hope Matty j plays forward

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Anyone else think Johnston is a dud?

 

[Slippery Pete]

One of many factors in why we need to smash this mob (see title). I was there, the tears are still wet................

Geez watching this made me angry.

I would show this to the players before Saturday.

Nicholls and McInerney, arseclowns of the highest order.
