Preview R21: Changes vs. Hawthorn

[Fritz n Sauce]

I’d say

In Bond, Cumming

Out Max, Jones

Sub Pedlar

 

[George CantStandYa]

Nicks has confirmed Bond is playing.

We must be dropping someone for Cumming to return.

Good to see Nicks has read my posts.

Also shows how clueless some footy experts are, Bickley named every option bar Bond. His preference was Jones who is no where near the defender Bond is.

 

[beartoo]

Great to see Bond get another' game. Reckon he'll be great in finals.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Hawks playing 4 talls, reckon it’s to see how it will work for them but to also make our tall defenders accountable so they can’t intercept as much.

Going to an interesting watch.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

Pedlar I'd say.

Yep....reckon he should make way for Cumming. Cook moves to his spot, Jones remains sub.

 

[Cromulant]

We've been given zero reason to believe Cumming isn't in yet. There's no reason it couldn't be Bond for max, Smith for Laird (if that's even real) and Cumming for Jones/Pedlar.

Could be the case, wouldnt mind it either.

Who drops out for Chol I wonder

 

[Betts are off]

Or 3 if we draft his brother.

His brother is a big boy. Bigger then Dan.

Man, can you imagine their grocery bill with those 2 behemoths in the kitchen

I haven’t followed Hawks closely enough to tell. You’d have to think it’s a forward though.

Seems a bit too clever I think, Yes they are mobile talls, but it means you'll have 1, maybe 2 on the bench most of the time.

Yea, Sam Mitchell mentioned one will be on the bench at all times if they don’t have a blood rule etc

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Impey was BOG last time or thereabouts & despite your protests, Murphy was on him much of the time.

Amon switches between wing & HBF.

Murphy was on Impey most of the time? Were you in Launceston for the match? This is now Bigfooty Folklore and it is also Bigfooty Bullshit. The correct answer is that Rachele spent most time on Impey.

Try this, re-watch the match and write down which of our forwards was closest to Impey every time he has a disposal. Also note who was the closest defender to Murphy every time he is visible on the tellie. Since I have done this, I am happy to compare notes with you.

Murphy did a fair but not great job on Amon. That would be the same player that Sam Mitchell mentioned this week as one of two Hawks who should be in the All Australian Squad (along with Gunston). Murphy didn’t get a lot of the ball (11 disposals, 7 tackles, 2 clearances), he didn’t hurt Hawthorn with his disposals and had his usual couple of shocking moments.

Did Murphy kill JFK?

Thanks for your input Mrs Murphy.

 

[Trigger13]

Hard to imagine them having all of Chol, Dear, Gunston and Lewis on the ground at the same time

Unless Chol is relieving Meek in the ruck

Or Chol moves to a wing to Curtin?

 

[Scorpus]

Murphy was on him but he's useless, he was far too far away from Impey to have any impact so poor Rachele had to cover the slack despite clearly being a primary offensive weapon for us and not someone tasked with a defensive role

 

[skam85]

Personally I reckon touching some grass or getting some Vitamin D is a healthier way to spend your day than going to Officeworks, buying a notepad, rewatching a terrible game of football that we lost, noting down where the worst player on our list was at any given time, just to prove a stranger wrong on the internet.... but that's just me.

 

[hippyhippy]

He wouldn't have the fitness to run up and down the wing

Of course I'm being facetious here but claiming a guy who had just 13 pressure acts was playing "on someone" is being extremely generous. Murphy might have been near someone or the closest to someone, but was either not playing closely on someone or did a bad job of it

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

How nice is it that we have 2 dawsons in our team now.

Remember all those years after Danger left we lamented not having a big bodied midfielder.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Provide some facts, or is The Vibe a winning argument?

It is not easy to pick up matchups if you only watch a game on the tellie however some members of the Cartel speak with authority despite on occasions admitting that they have not even watched the match.

Watch the replay and show us your FACTS Mr LMDS.

And it’s quite amusing that you post like this and then cry when posters have a crack at you

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

today I learned: Kane is in the Cartel

News to me.

Never got my invite lol.

 

[SugarShane]

In the presser Nicksy didn't flat out say "yes he's in", but he did say the week off was a brilliant move and Isaac as pretty much 100% now. Seems a certainty based on that.

I have provided facts, as have many other posters, but you live in your own alternative universe.

We are never going to agree that Murphy's main opponent was Impey, who he allowed to completely dominate the last Hawks game.

Fortunately it appears the coaching staff have finally learnt their lesson that Murphy is not AFL standard & means we won't be effectively playing 1 man short.

That is how I viewed it too

I watched a bit of Impey's game footage and most of his touches were completely uncontested with no one near him
