Preview Round 1, 2022: Hawks v North, MCG Sunday March 20th at 1.10pm

[Strapping Young Lad]

Don't expect media to notice though. We will be the 'too old, too slow' Hawks for most of the season.

Anyone know why Hartigan wasnt picked ? He never gets bags kicked on him and is our best last defender isn't he? Little confusing team selection

1st quarter : “I don’t think player X is up to it”.

Week 2 : “player Y shouldn’t be given games”

Nothing surer.

Bookmarked so I know the exact wording.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Finn over Phillips and Denver over Hartigan is an indication of Sams intensions. For now anyway. Play youth if it's line ball.

don't think phillips and finn are fighting for the same position honestly

fairly sure that Sam is strongly against Finn on a wing, and nothing I've seen from Finn says otherwise

i reckon Finn is just a placeholder for Bramble/Day until he manages to get a spot as a full-time mid

Travelling down to this one with my little girls. They haven't been to a Hawks game before and I haven't been as a kid for 25 years....

Can you still buy flags outside the ground? My 3 are desperate for one.

Cheers

There’s usually merch on sale outside the ground (I think Hawksnest would be doing that) and inside the ground. Can’t guarantee a flag but I’m fairly certain they’re usually there.

Edit - this is in the email from the club about going on Sunday:

Thanks mate. I had it in my head that flags were banned, not sure why.

I'll find something.

Stoked Sammy is riding the wave of youth, going to be a tough 3-4 years ahead but it's good Sam seems willing to play the long game. Fingers crossed it pays dividends down the track.

 

[chopflop]

The most striking difference between the sides is size and running power.

They are carrying ccj, Goldy and xerri.

We have most of our elite runners/workhorses playing
- ward, Moore, Phillips (sub), CJ, Finn (these guys would be the best runners on NMs list)
Our sub-elite runners - Morrison, Mitchell, MacDonald, Lynch, Shiels, Nash ...

We do a makybe diva in this one and overrun them in the second half after a slow start.

If there was ever any doubt, I think Sam has made it pretty clear with selection that he will be playing the long game. Not too dissimilar to Clarko when he first took the reigns.

Exciting times but we’ll need to buckle up.

 

[Mercy Seat]

11 outs from our 23 that drew with Richmond, final round last year.

Hartigan possibly a late in I'm thinking. Or maybe not, that's a Clarko manoeuvre

 

[RX Hawk]

Hartigan possibly a late in I'm thinking. Or maybe not, that's a Clarko manoeuvre

I think we need him in the weeks when we are against a gorilla forward. Dedicated guy aginst whom rarely a bag is kicked. I like him but horses for courses I presume.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Sammy must've been taking notes from Pep Guardiola!! Don't worry too much about size and shape of players and just have 15 midfielder types playing keepings off to run the oppo ragged with aerobic , ball winning types for 120 minutes! I like it, I like it A LOT!

 

[Steven Tyler]

Thanks mate. I had it in my head that flags were banned, not sure why.

I'll find something.

Umbrellas are banned

 

[The hands of stone]

Love the selection given the availability .

We are in for an exciting and at times frustrating season from game to game and within games .

One step closer to winning next years BF poll for youth/under 22 side , cant wait

 

[Flukey!]

If there is any question if Hawthorn are rebuilding or not...I think Sam has answered that with this squad.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Deadwood traded in Ceglar and O’Brien. Some remaining deadwood still on the list not in the rd 1 side. This man takes no prisoners. The revolution will be televised.

Is that Al Swearengen you're talking about. Definitely a bad guy

 

[WWSD]

Wow that is pretty massive...and good to see.

 

[SSSSSS]

Looks like we are going in pretty short

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Looks like we are going in pretty short

Probably a good thing given we don't have any quality KPP's.

 

[KermitJagger]

6 players with 5 games or less to their name.
12 with less than 50.

eldorado we have KID!!!!

Right kid or wrong kid? Only time will tell!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Probably a good thing given we don't have any quality KPP's.

You’re really going to get your fill with your “woe is us” routine this year, eh?

 

[KermitJagger]

Looks like we are going in pretty short

What are you talking about? I'm excited to see traditional CHF sized... Dylan Moore

Probably a good thing given we don't have any quality KPP's.

Christ, you're a sad sack.

I gotta say Bro.. I don't think that was ever in question. Like ever.
