Wonder if he will try to preempt the rule of the day by saying something about umpiring.

I'd make 3 changes;
- Lipinski in for Hayes, Lips scratch form sounded tremendous, addressing his issues, so much classier than Hayes, who has not been bad, but is limited and may be injured.
- Suckling in for Richards, Ed's output has been poor and dropping. Needs a rest and a bit of time in the 2s to work on his deficiencies. Suckling may not get a heap more of it, but his touches can count for a lot. Gives us more versatility and experience
- Schache for Lloyd, similar type, but Shack will run harder and longer and runs to places that help teammates, his height is an issue for the opposition and can chop out in the Ruck.
3 improvements for mine.

That's almost uncomfortable viewing. Richard's looks like he knows he did SFA and can barely look at Bevo.
This is the week he goes down to scratch match. It's not fair to him or the team to keep playing him he is so far out of form.
I reckon he can come good but needs to find form and earn his spot at a lower level. He may even think that watching that interaction.
Welcome back Suckers.

Reasonable observation there. Good little video there too, thanks for sharing. I think Ed's problem is that he's a winger/half back flanker in a team of them. Given that, we could probably afford to have him regain form in twos. And bring in an extra forward as that's where we're struggling. So Dale or Suckling (playing Suckers forward obv). Hayes isn't injured as we thought he may be but do you bring in a forward for him too as he didn't have to do much against Eagles. So IN Dale & Suckling. OUT Richards & Hayes?2:52

Welcome back Suckers.
This is the weakest Hawthorn team I’ve ever seen, it will be a good game to get the forwards other than Wallis some form before the finals. Even Bruce might be able to kick a couple.
With the Giants percentage the team can’t afford to pull up short like they did against the crows.

This game doesn't worry me whatsoever, it's Freo that does. Can definitely see us belting the Hawks, then Freo cockblocking us
Isn't Hawthorn hubbing in Adelaide? They were at a hotel in Barossa for a while and just assumed they remained there, hence them playing a few home games in Adelaide recently.

Pretty sure they're already there. Are we allowed to fly down on Saturday? Bevo had to make a special appeal for us to fly to Cairns the day before the game.
You forgot the 4th cahnge - Wood for Rourke
Yeah, we are sharing a flight with Essendon on the Saturday morning then we are also flying up to Cairns on the Saturday. Saw an article yesterday about it. Freo are already up there and Melbourne had to fly up the same day as game and weren't happy, so I guess the Dogs saw that and put in a request. Given we would have to hire a charter flight and would need accomm at either Adelaide or Cairns, I guess it doesn't impact the AFL either way.

Danger game for mine. We're notoriously easy to play against and i reckon Clarko will have a plan.
Id give wood an extra week off get him refreshed for the Freo game now that we are odds on to make finals

Might just be Suckling for Hayes. Maybe Lippi for Roarke too.
I would love us to score 80-100 Points in this match, that's in total not actually 80-100 points that would be very bad football.
I have given up trying to predict changes, powerball has better odds of getting it right.

If we total 100 points it'll probably be 10.40
I was thinking 15-10 or 14-10 or 13-10, 23 to 25 shots at goal with around 5000 metres gained which is quite probable given the
various ratios that have presented during the 2020 season.
We will always find a way to kick more points then goals
I like to differentiate between points as points scored and points rushed, sometimes a team is not as wayward as you think with
points scored, but our biggest flaw in game style is allowing the opponent to get numbers back with our over possession of the
football between the arcs. A wise man once said "there are no goal posts between the arcs" which is very true.

Agree, just not sure they have the personnel atm but they may get a few back... Bottom line if we lose we're not worthy of a finals chance

Yep and that plan is to not let pick 3 slip away.
It’s so obvious that we are trying not to win, so I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
