I think poor old Darky is permanently stuck in his "happy place".

Mom.......? And yet I can't seem to look away......

That’s a dream place, forget about happy.

I don't care who plays as long as we beat that bunch of egotistical, self righteous bunch of ******s

I thought you were playing us, not Essendank.

 

[spartan-magpie]

I’ll make the call early, Pies by 7 goals. We will thump hawthorn. They’ll be playing for draft picks this year.

B: M Scharenberg (J.Sicily) L Dunn (J.Roughead) J Crisp (L.Bruest)

HB: S Murray (C.Rioli) J Howe (T.Obrien) D Moore (J.Gunston)

C: A Treloar (J.O’Meara) J Thomas (T.Mitchell) S Sidebottom (I.Smith)

HF A Fasolo (T.Duryea) B Reid (B.Stratton) T Phillips (D.Howe)

F C Brown (B.Hardwick) M Cox (J.Frawley) T Varcoe (S.Burgoyne)

Foll B Grundy (B.McEvoy) S Pendlebury (W.Langford) T Adams (L.Shiels)

I tried match-ups around the ground, not easy with both sides still having players in doubt.

Josh Thomas has been a serviceable player so far in his career but needs to go to another level for us to improve. I would tell him to follow Mitchell, be in his back pocket for most of the night, but he's playing well enough to find some of the ball.

If it pans out a little like above, I think we will be a good shot to beat Hawthorn for the second time in 8 years.

I think Adams or Maynard are the best options for Mitchell.

Will Sicily return to a forward role in 2018?

Be interested to see your interchange because I'm struggling to see how (before the Coburg VFL practice match) Scharanberg displaces Langdon and why WHE isn't in the starting 18 ahead of either Brown and Phillips.

Birchall and Langford injured now, just before the season.

Stunned the perfectness of Hawthorn has had such a setback.

All in the right spots

 

[kirbatron]

Scharenberg best 22 for you guys?

thought he emerged last yr.

You'd have thought so but the club clearly disagrees having not played him in the JLT. Don't expect him to start rd 1.

I sent them all a basket of cantaloupes.

 

[jmac70]

DEF: Crisp, Dunn, Howe, Langdon, Murray, Moore
MIDS: Adams, Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Thomas, C Brown, Treloar, Maynard, Phillips
RUCKS: Grundy, Cox
FWDS: Daicos, Fasolo, WHE, Reid, Varcoe, Stephenson

EMERG: Crocker and Smith

I reckon this is our most likely round 1 side.

 

[Rorzza]

To be brutally honest I'm not expecting a win first round, Bucks has an extremely poor record in the first round. 2 wins from 6 starts and one of those wins was against perennial losers the Lions in 2015.

I have no answer to 'Why' this is the case, just an opinion he tends to reward players that have solid, non-interrupted pre-seasons.

I'd say that accurately reflects the team over the last 6 years.

No. Not best 22.

On the Hawks side of things.

Put Sicily & Burton on the HbF
Replace Langford in the mids with Howe
Put Impey in Sicily’s place up forward
