Changes vs Hawthorn

[QPower]

With Wines and Gray out the fear is we will be caned in contested possession and clearances and no team wins under those circumstances.

 

[Lefti93]

we've lost two vital inside clearance midfielders. this means it would probably be wise to not give arch the vest. mitchell now must get it IMO.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Something is wrong when our three best preparation players are suddenly getting injured like this.

I dont think so...

Its not really that unthinkable...it happens to majority of teams at one stage or another

We are going to lose CP 100%. Only chance to win is to create things off Lobbe/Ryder's ruck work and off the rebound on the HBF.

I think this year contested ball has become even more important for us as Sydney showed that if you can win contested ball and then force Port to try and turn the ball over in the back half, you can slow down the forward movement and therefore the quality of supply to the forward line. Hence the 62 inside 50s for 6 goals in rd 2.

 

[Black 18]

Very strange a 'corked calf' would see you miss such an important game.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Well hey is we somehow pull this off it will be pretty damn amazing.

 

[manureid]

We ded.

Great supporter you are, its not like ebert, boak, hartlett and polec aren't capable of winning their own ball relax mate.

We played Sydney a few years ago in the wet without boak who was our best player at the time in wet weather and still got up. Yes its not ideal having both wines and gray out aswell as impey however everyones banging on our lack of depth what a better way than showing them up through ah chee and young in particular. I have full confidence one of them aswell as hartlett, polec and wingard who will also have to rotate through the midfield will stand up. People seem to forget and underrate yoiung due to him being always on the fringe. He was second in our clearances last week.

 

[pafc88]

Wow. Thats basically the game now. Whoknows how long he'll be out as well. **** seasons not looking good.

 

[badbeats]

Wouldn't mind it raining now, turn it into a scrap.

Can Vossy suit up?

 

[Chrizzt]

Boaky usually does very well against the Hawks, not it's just a matter of who is there to support him. I'd say throw Arch in the guts, but I'm a little bit worried that he will get a bit spooked by the moment playing a full game in the guts against the best team in the comp.

 

[Powerade 08]

Depending on the weather and how wet it is Gray missing is ok.

 

[PatientMental]

It's well past the time our players should be able to cover for a few stars out, if we want to mix it with the best we shouldn't have any problems taking it to Hawthorn without Wines or Gray.

People say we have no depth, now it's time to find out how thin our list truly is.

 

[chachi11]

We got this...

Ken will rev them up, show them what we're made of.!!!

My glass is half full





of scotch..!

 

[RustyCage]

Almost walked into Robbie Great (autocorrect, but I'll leave it) in Rundle Mall earlier this week.

Another omen?

So it was you who corked his calf? :O

 

[Doctor Feel]

Get blighty to give the boys a rev up.

 

[cj_09]

Nah, No Wines and Gray...











We're ****ed.

 

[Doctor Feel]

May as well gut the rest of the side of anyone who is under a cloud and give them the week off. This one's a lost cause.

 

[El_Scorcho]

2 of our best 3 clearance mids out.

We'll need a huge game from the likes of Polec and Young.

 

[MrMeaner]

End of the world. No point going on. Fold the club. Don't bother turning up.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

I reckon. jeeepers... we are still a chance at home.... backs against the wall. We can do this. There is still alot of quality in this side

 

[Byrons Firen]

Wet n windy suits Mitchell. Not sure of Lobbes a quad on a slippery deck?
Where's Andrew Moore? oh thats right roughing up umpires, smiles all round from the $ANFL.
Think we will be in the condition we were meant to be in for the Showdown
especially if we get another injury or two. Then we can hear all next week of it being a 50/50 as always
I'm nobody's friend right now I'm spitting feathers
