Preview Round 1, 2020: Hawthorn v Brisbane Lions, 22 March 2020, 3.20pm @ MCG

[TylerDurden]

Right. I've had enough of this Marsh series rubbish. Time to move on and get real.

Makeup of the team uncertain. Cloud over Lewis. TOB, Hendo and maybe Gunner to come in.

Does CJ take Dimma's spot? Or Harry.

Who takes Cameron?

Let's get it on, coz we don't get along!

 

[LRobbo]

Morrison gets the nod for mine. More assured with ball in hand. Stratton to Cameron. Captains job to shut down their most dangerous player.
Must break even in the middle if we are to be a chance.

Clarko should have the boys set for this, they’ve had our measure of late

 

[TylerDurden]

Neale. Do we tag?

 

[WWSD]

Neale. Do we tag?

Definitely. We can’t let him run loose. Shiels gets that tagging role.

 

[WWSD]

I think Jiath will play. He’s done more then enough to earn selection.

I want to see Wingard play forward more as he could solve that small forward issue.


B: Stratton, Frawley, Jiath

HB: Scrimshaw, Frost, Sicily

C: Henderson, Mitchell, Smith

HF: Wingard, Lewis, Burgoyne

F: Breust, Patton, Puopolo

R: Ceglar, O’Meara, Shiels

INT: Worpel, Scully, McEvoy, Morrison

 

[A Cut Above]

First time playing them in awhile with Hodgey? Hopefully that proves the difference.

Wonder if Birch gets up for the match? Would love to see him back on the G again.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

When was the last time we played this mob at the G?

Anyway it's R1 so anything could happen.

Not confident whatsoever but hopefully we will be pleasantly suprised.

Round 12 2012

Hawthorn 19.21.135 defeated Brisbane 11.4.70

 

[Brant]

Wonder if Birch gets up for the match? Would love to see him back on the G again.

I hear he's 2 weeks away from playing...

 

[WWSD]

Hipwood would cause some trouble with his size and athleticism, Frost has the speed to go with him at ground level.

Frawley vs McStay
Frost vs Hipwood
McEvoy vs McInerney
Stratton vs Cameron
Sicily vs Rayner

 

[cogs2hawks]

Brisbane better team on paper but for me this game is a genuine 50/50. They usually beat us, but they don’t play the G well. Cancels each other out so 50/50. And we owe em one.

 

[Stratton24]

Last year Adelaide were the form team of the pre season and v tipped to hammer us - anything can happen in round one.

 

[Wizzmania]

Thankfully Nick Robertson won’t be giving Breust niggle

 

[Hodginator]

Hawks by 6 goals

 

[Brant]

Danger game...

 

[pipcoo]

Looking forward to see what the Captain brings to the table in 2020
superior work ethic and leadership qualities if He’s does where On, we Win.

 

[StillAtLarge]

We will be fielding one of the worst forward lines in the comp, at least for the first couple of rounds anyway. And the absence of hardwick really hurts us against a team with a surplus of small creative forwards.
I can't see us getting within 6 goals of the lions if they're fair dinkum, they'll be primed to snap their mcg drought

That’s a good team

 

[WWSD]

Patton and Scully go into round 1 in perfect preparation having completed the entire pre-season.

Now we’ll see how Patton and Lewis work together at the MCG with more room inside that 50.

Scrimshaw is my tip for most improved player this year.

 

[WWSD]

For those out there who have seen Harrison Pepper play at U18 level is he capable of playing as a small forward?

 

[cogs2hawks]

Will Lewis be right to play?

 

[Davo-27]

For those out there who have seen Harrison Pepper play at U18 level is he capable of playing as a small forward?

he's a forward and a defender, plays well at both ends

 

[Big Hotdog]

How is the lewis ankle going?

Sadly can’t see us winning - just hope we minimise the loss

Hope Clarko has something up his sleeve & smacks me with it
