Changes v Hawks

[DockerLand1]

I am told Tanner will be promoted this week, good luck young fella.

Source please! I am hoping that he will get a fair shop in an area where we have a gross deficiency through neglectful drafting and trading.

Dawson at FF

the tank is on in earnest

It has previously been reported in BF that Dawson kicked 8 goals in one game for the Box Hill Hawks. That's enough evidence that such shift wasn't part of the tank.

Agreed. Needs a solid month at AFL level at least.

Agreed. Needs a solid month at AFL level at least.

Very Unlikely. Unless he has an absolute blinder, which will be basically impossible given the ball will spend 75% of the game going the other way and the other 25% of the time being kicked over or on his head.

He'll most likely make way for Pav the following week regardless.

If he does a half decent job at giving Griff a chop out he might be kept on that basis as a fwd/ruck.

 

[Freomaniac]

Collins, Clarke, Hannath or Smith

In order of likelihood in my opinion:
Collins - Smith - Hannath - Clarke

Fingers crossed for Smith. Don't mind him, although can be frustrating. However freo seem to attract frustrating forwards (Keplar, Waterhouse).
Collins could come in to play against some old team mates or something?
Hannth could come in because he's tall and that's the only reason i can see
Clarke could come in because he's be decent in the past but useless in the last few games, maybe his knee still worrying him?

If I had it my way... I would bring both smith and Collins. Give smith a shot IP forward. Make Collins one of the three talks on defence. Don't see why that suggestion would be a bad idea.

Not that it matters in one sense, but Hawks don't have a big fwd half, quite small actually and very mobile. Not the sort of game to go in with 3 genuine tall 'stoppers' (so to speak).

Still concern of the occasional injury. Still... Gunston is a formidable tall.

A connection to Peel. Will find out today hopefully.

Excellent, let's do it then.

Collins to fullback, Dawson to full forward.

Seriously though, it looks like Tanner will get another opportunity in Tas, this time up the other end of the ground and ironically being coached by the guy that owned him last time he played there.

Maybe Dawson will be "managed" and Collins comes in for him?

 

[cp3_jr]

Langdon will be playing according to Ross' presser and Hughes and Blakely staying in.

Probably no worse time to come in, I won't take much out of this weekend but next weekend at home I want him firing.

Exactly and given Langdon was the best youngster for Peel it makes more sense to bring him in (and keep Hughes etc.) than reach for Tanner or Collins based one or two games. Richmond the following week have a lot of talls so save them for that and give them another week at Peel

 

[Deaneus!]

Just found out Pannell is umpiring your Hawks clash in Tassie

"Good luck", unless you're tanking already, in which case "congratulations!"

 

[scon]

Ross has pointed out being at our end of the table we cop the young inexperienced P-Plate umpires.

A connection to Peel. Will find out today hopefully.

Ross has declared it isn't happening,and has never been mentioned basically.

 

[salim malik]

Don't be surprised if Barlow is out. Grey not in. Langdon in.

Good news for me , always prefer to watch grey with peel than suban.

We never ever tank.

No Barlow on the flight, Clancee Pearce & Zac Clarke amongst those travelling - fairly sure I was called a moron by a few for suggesting Clarke comes in, I don't think one ruck is a wise move at the best of times but against the Hawks is definitely not a great move. Yes Clarke is pi$$weak at times but he is the only option, Zac Dawson isn't a ruck and Alex Pearce we don't want to run in the ground.

 

[Righteo]

Jack. Hannath.

Can we play Clarke ,Griff and hannath against hawthorn , then we are definitely tanking.

Ross said on 7 News on Tuesday night that Pav will miss this week but will definitely play the following week.

 

[clivenator26]

Jack. Hannath.

EXACTLY!

 

[salim malik]

I thought it was curtains for Mick. He got the shoulder tap from Ross leaving the oval after training .

 

[Allikat]

Putting this in here too. Harley Balic put on the LTI but no upgrades which means Tanner is 100% not playing.
