Josh Gibson - Hamstring

[The Royal Sampler]

Not schadenfreude, just saying is all.

Makes the structuring up of this week's side all the more interesting. Hawthorn as we know have the better forwards by a mile, but we should have the better rucks and defenders by plenty.

 

[Frankie23]

Hall has kicked 5 in this last quarter, that's telling us something....

In: Anthony, Dawes.

 

[Zahki]

Lets hope we do our kicking practise this week. I hear there's doubt over Buddy as well, would be a huge out if he gets a week for that bump. No better time to stand up and stop being the Hawks bitches than now.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I hope we play a forward tag on Hodge. Thomas is someone who has performed this sort of role in the past with decent effect.

 

[collingwood1992]

Also buddy may miss as he did the same thing mooney did last week. (i didnt see it, just heard about it)

Hodge playing mainly in defense? Our last encounter he switched it up and just carved us up in the middle for a change.

Making Thomas an even more sensible match up. He's been good on some decent mids this year.

Played half-back today, yes.

 

[The Panther]

Gibson out is a good thing for Hawthorn. He is a mediocre footballer. We need to isolate Jolly on Renouf, like Sydney did last year.

If we play anyway near to Round 1 & the 1st 3 quarters on Friday, it should be a comfortable win.

 

[the_champ_2004]

In: Anthony, Dawes, Rusling, Reid and N Brown to all play forward

Yeah got Aker in the Head with an Elbow

I don't think he'll be suspended, but these days you never know what will happen at the tribunal.

Fingers crossed, he'll be suspended for a week.

This is Hawthorn. Have you seen our recent record. Nothing will be comfortable.

 

[Rohan25]

Hawthorn really looked tired in that last quarter. They've faded twice in two weeks now, and they were really struggling to run out that game. With the benefit of two extra days break, we should look to run all over them in the second half.

Hodge playing mainly in defense? Our last encounter he switched it up and just carved us up in the middle for a change.

Hawthorn had to shift Hodge to Half Back because of gibson next week Hawks get Sewell,Young and Osbourne back,should be an interesting game

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Rats, Sewell is a gun. Young and Osbourne are neither here nor there.

 

[daics_35]

Sewell wont play it was reported a couple of days ago that we would miss another 2-4 weeks. The main worry is stopping hodge and mitchell they kill us everytime and i dont think dale thomas is the answer, hodge is was to classy and to big for him.

 

[bushpie]

The way Sook Kilder are carrying on we will all be suspended for a week and Hawks get the four points for free............

It will be another great game but I think Hawks lack of puff is going to be the reason we bury them........3-1

PS I love the idea of a shit-down defence!!!!

 

[Ron]

Zero chance of Sewell playing. Clarkson said in his press conference he is still 1-2 weeks away.

 

[Lockyer24]

One man is no real loss - Hawthorn play a decent full ground defense and thats what we struggle against.

 

[muzzy2]

Josh Gibson out too.

SEN just reported Josh Gibson has done a hamstring tendon and will be out for up to 3 months.

Re: Josh Gibson out too.

Bad news for hawthorn, good news for us.

 

[Porkaspies09]

Re: Josh Gibson out too.

feel sorry for that guy, hes had a bad run with injuries and stuff, but hes not that good, hawks are still a good team
