Preview Round 1 2022- Hawks v Roos MCG - Sunday March 20- 1.10pm

[Liam Boy]

I don't really know what to make of Hawthorn. It's true that they don't have a lot of high draft pick talent but they've managed to get some good players through other means. They finished the year much stronger than we did last year and they also tend to go well early. I'm expecting us to start this year a lot better than last. A full year under the Noble program, several players who changed roles last year now more settled, another year of experience in the young midfield brigade.

Should be a W for us, but it could go either way. This game will give us a good idea of how long Goldy has left, Ned Reeves is entering his prime and will probably give him a challenge.

Gunston is a key matchup for us I reckon Corr would suit him

leaving Josh Walker on Mitchell Lewis

[Passmore]

I'd like to think it was Clarko.

They’ve lost their selling point to trade targets that’s for sure. Even then they shine was starting to fade.

Long term, a fresh set of eyes might be a good thing for them. Mitchell came in and they’ve had two cracks at trading into this year’s draft. Reportedly targeting midfielders. They can see there is a Grand Canyon sized hole in their guts.

They’ve got some nice flanker types in Jiath, Scrimshaw and Day. Where’s the midfield? Ward is a good start. Worpel. What else? You can see why they were keen to get Johnson.

 

[The Warlord]

Will be interesting to see if Mitchell has the game day tactical nous of Clarko.

 

[shinboner magic]

I remember the year we were going to thrash Freo in round 1

I went to WA expecting it.

I went to WA expecting it.

That’s sad and funny.

The double whammy for us - is round 1 game and playing in wa

 

[sydney_gws]

We absolutely should be looking to win this game.

I think hawthorn want to tank this year, probably not round 1 though.

Sitting with the Freo fans too.

All your potential match ups are perfect Z .
Only one I’m not 100% sure on (& I hope I’m wrong) is Bonar on ChadW
Im in the “not convinced” he’s in our best 22 camp .

I'd send Bailey to Wingard.

Yep good call !
Matchups solved

 

[Caracas]

Out: Atley, Bonar, Atu, Dumont, Ford, Spicer, Tarrant, Taylor, Walker
In: Ziebell, Polec, Greenwood, Comben, JHF, Powell, CCJ, Mahony, Corr

Taylor Walker would be a good IN for us, though, don’t you think?

It’s a great challenge first up - a 50/50 opportunity straight up at the G to see we’re we are at and it’s a similarly ranked team!!

we matchup ok

I'd send Bailey to Wingard.

Scott on Wingard? A slight, irregular defender who can’t stick a tackle on one of the cleverest forwards in the game? Nup, not for mine / recipe for disaster …

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I'd send Bailey to Wingard.

I’m genuinely interested in your reasoning on this one.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Fun fact

In 1993 we played Round 1 at the Mcg which was Carey’s first as Captain.

I was there

The start of our second greatest era

EDIT
I was there, we played Brisbane round 1.
The Hawthorn game was round 13, Friday night at the G. One of the best games I've ever been to. It was a close game that we lost late, I think a Dunstall goal got them over the line.

Yes was there that night as well. Still hurts

 

[Rod Stroker]

No Atley or Dumont. We must have a strong team if they cant get a game.
Who is going to be the new whipping boy

L Young?

 

[amaz199]

just want to see us look a little more clean with ball in hand. I don't know how to describe it... it's something that has always been a trait.

I'm ok with some off moments, but we really need to break off the 'same old North'.

The same old North that looks sluggish and disinterested is what needs to be wiped out.

You have Day as number 5 on the bench. I would expect him to be starting 18.

it’s just a list I found online for conversation sake about the midfield - I don’t know their team well enough myself.

He’s an absolute gun.

Twas the night when Martyn was out and Longmire had to go to full back.

Bonar on wingard

Hi all North fans! I'd say if Corr, McKay, Walker and Bonar/Turner play it'll be

Corr and Gunston
Walker and Kossie
McKay and Lewis
Turner on Breust

And idk with Bonar because Wingers likely plays more mid time like he did post bye 2021
