That button is known as the cowards button

No surprise you’ve used it

He's not gonna read this.

 

[Tas]

Can we stop comparing him to Daicos. At least let Sheezel play a full season at that level. If he does then like Collingwood we have a freak on our hands.

I was only comparing him for the purpose of why would someone tag a 2 game half-back flanker. He is moving the ball well, but it is not like he is killing sides with his ball movement and he is heavily involved in pressuring, it is not like he is bolting out to the middle of nowhere to try and get a uncontested possession.

 

[ferball]

If McGinness tags Sheezel, send him forward and send Stephenson to half back.

That would be awesome but someone like Harry is the sort of player you stick the Kayne Turner's of this world on and say "Don't give him a millimeter." Same with Daicos. They're the sort of players that defensive forwards exist to top.

 

[ferball]

When was the last time we actually took a side apart for 4 quarters of a match and won comfortably? Adelaide in 2020 at giants stadium?

Obviously from where we’ve come from, this is no walk in the park, but this side should embrace expectation, run with it and properly do this team.

100% this.

Flying down tonight for the game. Far more nervous than I’ve been for a long time, I feel like hawthorn will be up for the challenge early.

Let’s make it 3-0 fellas.

I don't like to get too far ahead, but just looking objectively at the Hawthorn team sheet, it's hard to see who can kick them a winning score. Lloyd Meek at FF doesn't fill me with apprehension, no Mitch Lewis, Koschitzke or Wingard - Luke Breust looks to be the main danger, and you'd hope with not too much around him we can handle him

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

A few posters might want to reflect on the fact that 18 months ago they were finding various creative ways to conclude JHFF was far superior to Daicos too.

Collingwood have a gun player, hopefully based on Harry's start we do too.

True dinks. As jealous as I might be that the pies scored the Daicos Bros. off the back of the FS rule, nobody can deny that they are sublime players who create repeat opportunities for their team consistently. Both of them.

 

[The Nostradamus]

One of Tucker or Howe the sub the other the travelling emergency as neither named in vfl

surely we have learnt our mistake with howe

Brockman kicked 3.2 last week in the VFL.

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

The player I most want to see have a good game this week is Comben- No slight on Phillips as I just know he will have one anyway and doesn't need my hope- having the big guy kick a goal or two on top of what he already does would be epic though.

I can see Comben holding a lot of marks and then kicking 1.3. He'll be a slow burn to directly impacting games on the scoreboard imo.

He’s gotta be close. As soon as those marks start sticking look out!

I’d love to see Stevo get off the chain too and run riot.

Depends on how hard the hawks are trying later in the game, could be a good time to get some confidence by roosting goals with less pressure.

 

[shinboner magic]

Their small forwards are the worry.
Also small defenders as well -whoever Sicily is on should be the deepest forward.
Hopefully it’s not windy

Apparently the wind isn't set to be much of a factor.

Assuming the Hawks are either up or down by a large margin later in the game, both scenarios which I doubt

 

[susurrar]

ill be honest ive never heard of this hawthorn tagger before this week. if its true that he tags outside types then hes in big trouble against ldu. if he goes to sheezel we can throw him forward for a couple highlight reel goals.

Do you reckon he'll straighten up the kicking after quarter time? Maybe Q1: 1.3, Q2: 2.1, Q3: 2.0 and Q4: 3.1?

Hope you're wrong, I think he can have an impact this week playing a bit deeper forward. Also, i've backed him to kick 2, 3, 4 and 5 goals, the more he kicks the more I celebrate

i dont bet on the stupidity of the match committee

Spineless

So Free didn't travel as an emerg?

What if something happens to Goldy in the next 24 hours?

Then we do what we did in round 1 with greenwood and comben

The Kerridge thread is thataway ------>

 

[Ashley B]

Flynn or Tucker sub.

Wingard out almost makes us firm favourites.
And they dropped Kositchke.

Is Kosi out need to change my Kerridge. Hawks definitely looking for the loss

Valid question. Why is Heaps of fun dodging this? We demand answers.
