Preview Round 10, 2024 : Port v Hawthorn, 3:20pm Sun 19th May, AO

[HedgeFund]

Technically the call is correct, no argument.

But hopefully they call it consistently when a similar action is done by a different player/team.

They already do.

 

[tl92]

I would send him to Houston this weekend.

Has he even been tagging? If so I haven’t noticed. But agree he’d be the guy.

 

[threesixpio]

No Sic
No Scrimmerz
No worries


No telling the truth

 

[HedgeFund]

Have to play

Frost mainly on Dixon
Serong mainly on Marshall
Weddle mainly on Finlayson

All will rotate / handover, with Frost to play deepest most often.

Problem will be when Georgiadis comes on and if they play 4 talls together - then there’ll be a mismatch on a medium defender.

May need Hardwick to play on someone 10cm taller as I can’t see us sacrificing Day to play HBF. He is the midfield captain and we’d be nuts to change that.

Interesting week at the selection table.

Good chance we will be missing Lewis, Chol, Blanck, Sicily and Scrimshaw. That's alot of KP depth missing.

If CJ plays, he'll add some depth back there.

CJ is a wingman now. Bodie Ryan or Phillips if we need a defender. I don't want to just take the easy solution of putting him back to HBF. Would anybody want us putting Day to HBF and bringing in Ward to cover the midfield loss?

No. Our midfield looks infinitely better with him in there.... We don't need him at half back. That will then limit how much impact our forward line can have. Just bring in a defender..(Philips)... Cj to a wing.

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

I am not sure if true.
But I guess we will know in the next few days.

We must be trying to outdo the Tigers.

At least it's our injured players copping the BS suspensions from the AFL

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Being in a moonboot doesn't necessarily mean he will miss tbh

 

[Strebi3]

Being in a moonboot doesn't necessarily mean he will miss tbh

Except he will because he’s suspended

 

[Daylight Scrimshaw]

Scrimmers was in a moon boot at the airport Saturday night

He’s barely played in what 18 months? He’ll play anywhere he gets picked.

 

[Hawkspot]

Good chance we will be missing Lewis, Chol, Blanck, Sicily and Scrimshaw. That's alot of KP depth missing.

In January they were probably the 5 first picked key position players in our team.

 

[hawkinoz]

At look at the Meek Monday and prep done by players. Chemistry is building quite well in this group.

 

[Howe Amazing]

Was CJ rested as they'd seen enough?

Surely a walk up start for this week. Even as sub.

3 quarters planned for BH. Agree start him and sub him off after 3 quarters he looked good

 

[Dewyyyyy]

I am finding it extremely difficult to pick a side this weekend.

Players who are in contention:
Jiath - Lewis - Chol - Sicily - Philips & Ward

I had a crack at a few teams.

(TEAM 1)

Hardwick - Frost - Sicily

Mitchell - Weddle - Amon

Jiath - Day - D’Ambrosio

Moore - Lewis - MacDonald

Ginnivan - Chol - Dear

Meek - Newcombe - Worpel

Watson - Mackenzie - Nash - Impey - Breust

Ins:
Lewis - Chol - Sicily - Jiath

Outs:
Gunston - Maginness - Scrimshaw - Serong

(TEAM 2)

Hardwick - Phillips - Frost

Mitchell - Weddle - Amon

Mackenzie - Day - D’Ambrosio

Moore - Chol - MacDonald

Ginnivan - Dear - Watson

Meek - Newcombe - Worpel

Maginness - Nash - Impey - Serong - Breust

Ins:
Chol - Phillips

Outs:
Gunston - Scrimshaw

(TEAM 3)

Hardwick - Phillips - Frost

Mitchell - Weddle - Amon

Jiath - Day - D’Ambrosio

Moore - Chol - MacDonald

Ginnivan - Dear - Watson

Meek - Newcombe - Worpel

Mackenzie - Nash - Impey - Serong - Breust

Ins:
Jiath - Chol - Phillips

Outs:
Maginness - Gunston - Scrimshaw

Discussion of this side is as follows.

Is Mitch Lewis ready? = He 100% plays.
Does Jiath play as sub or play majority game and get subbed off? = 50/50
Is Sicily ready to come back? = If so 100% plays.
If Sicily and Scrimshaw are out, does Phillips debut? = 100% yes.
Is Chol ready and does he come straight in? = Yes and if with Lewis even better.

Who comes out? Serong played well and deserves to stay in, not many other options to come out defensively and it is a structure decision, stays ideally. Maginness quiet and role is flexible, could he go out if Jiath returns, who else does if he doesn’t? Gunston out but is it a drop or management, and finally Scrimshaw is suspended so it’s either Sicily or Phillips, do we see a Ryan debut? Change of structure to see Jiath in? Interesting week ahead.

Could DGB come in?

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Please don’t rush CJ back. Nothing to gain by doing it. Build him back properly.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Can’t see maginess being dropped

 

[Sixpence]

Could DGB come in?

Would need more game time at BH I would think.

 

[Crankyhawk]

I am not sure if true.
But I guess we will know in the next few days.

I did recall the radio commentary mentioning he was hobbling in the third quarter.

 

[Barry Damage]

Has he even been tagging? If so I haven’t noticed. But agree he’d be the guy.

Finn goes to Houston if for no reason other than someone can say “Houston, we have a problem” when the players line up on the field…
