What's the running Larke Medal tally?

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Er? Allen did win it,Gunston didnt??

 

[Obeanie1]

Yes hes around the 6'5"-6'6" but not renown for his high marking prowess.The Hawks will definitely try to challenge us in the air.The weather will help us there.I hope we have our systems in place and dont have 3-4 defenders flying for the spoil because we are worried by their big blokes.If its wet and greasy we must have blokes on the ground.

McEnvoy is pretty bloody decent at clunking a big mark.

Seems to run hard forward and create a mismatch as well as any other ruck and better than most.

 

[Obeanie1]

Matt Allen the travelling emergency again.

FFS give the guy a game.

Agree,and i think that will be front and centre of Clarkos thinking.

Hawfie Ruck Average 2019:

Big Boy - 1 MI50, 2.5CM, 5.7M
Ceglar - 0.7MI50, 1.75CM, 4.6M

Going for about 1.15 goals per game combined.

If these two give us a bath things are not going well across the board. McEvoy is pretty good but he's no Ryder/Gawn/Grundy level ruck.

 

[eaglesnutcase]

The emphasis on getting forward will be for the mismatch but also to try and expose NN defensively.Hopefully the conditions will maximise NNs ground work and minimise high marking.

I am not stressed about this game. Their midfield and forward line are garbage and our forwards easily outclass their defence. I don't think the rain hurts us either, our only weakness is our tall forwards and rain will help negate their talls. Our small forward line has the potential to do some serious damage.

 

[Belltower]

Prefer Cameron over Petch injured or not.

While Petch has showed promising signs and eill develop into a beast, I reckon Cameron is the more natural forward/footy player and will add more to the team in terms of syngery with Rioli Ryan and Cripps up forward.

Seriously love our forward line. Surely our best in WC history!?!

FF Ryan Kennedy Cameron
HF Rioli Darling Cripps

Makes me very happy. Excited to see how they on Saturday.

Um. Lecca says hello, did manage to kick a few hundred goals for us

 

[Belltower]

No barrass, no gov, intercept marking strategy is on thin ice a bit. I guess it’s probably wet anyway.

Shep and Hurn go alright

On paper we should serve it up to them deluxe. Hawthorn are putrid. I hope the team is really geared up for this one - if they come with the effort from last week and some straighter kicking we could put on a big win.

The only concern is that Clarkson seems to know how to shut down scoring at both ends when it's not going their way so we might not get the percentage booster we should be aiming for.

 

[eaglesnutcase]

I hope your confidence is justified.We never win big in Melbourne and Clarko will have his boys primed.

 

[FKASC]

I actually reckon Hawthorn is tanking a bit. Don’t reckon he’ll be getting them primed as much as trying to work out who might work in which position going forward.

That said I don’t expect an easy game at all

 

[amazingjoshy]

Did everyone forget our AA Yeo as HB? He can sure be there if needs be and rotate Duggan to mid.

no. See what Sydney (minus Kennedy) did to our midfield minus Yeo? Forget Yeo as a backman, he's one of the leagues best mids now.

 

[eaglesnutcase]

I reckon hes the leagues best mid.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Interested to see where Hutch plays. Gone with the extra mid again but no real defenders need a tag for the Hawks

O'Mera, Smith or Henderson.

 

[amazingjoshy]

O'Mera, Smith or Henderson.

yeah most likely one of those, but they're all mids. We played the extra mid last week because Hutch was playing fwd

What forward line did Lecca play with, that would be better than the one we can put out today?

 

[campaigner___]

Hawks lost 3 on the trot. I don't think I was alive last time they lost 4 in a row.

 

[Gaffy Duck]

Hawks lost 3 on the trot. I don't think I was alive last time they lost 4 in a row.

So in other words we’re gonna derp this up

 

[Keys]

You post pretty well for a 2 year old

(Hawthorn lost the first 4 games of 2017)

Definitely should tag Henderson IMO. He’s been their most prolific outside mid this year and fits the Hutch category perfectly

2018 was the best ever.


Lecras Darling Cripps
Willie Jk Ryan

Lecca is top 3 wce goal kickers.
