Preview Round 14, 2020: Hawthorn v Essendon, 27 August 2020, 4.40pm @ Adelaide Oval

[Dixie Flatline]

Quick turnaround to the next game, against the bitterest of enemies. I would expect Burgoyne to miss, and there may well be other changes to the team that fell just short against the Power as the Hawks are in list assessment mode. Preview and suggested changes here.

Man. You won’t let up on O’Brien, will you? Go back and look at how many goals he was involved in. I counted at least 4 without looking hard. His ability to hit the packs and being the ball to ground adds so much to our approach.

From my end, it’s time to let Stratton go. He made 200, now need to open spots in the team. Conversely to TOB, his actions (or lack thereof) cost us 3 goals. Probably won’t happen, but not sure what we gain by playing him from this point forward.

O’Brien drops way too many easy marks and doesn’t hit the scoreboard enough to be a forward threat.

 

[Hodginator]

Bring the effort we did today and we win by 5 goals.

 

[Walshawk]

Burgoyne? Did I miss something?
Out Hanrahan, Glass
in Maginness, Frawley
I am all for playing youth but would rather see the new young guys rather than HaNathan and Glass who We have seen enough of to know won’t make it.

He needs to sort out his nearly marks drops 4-5 marks a game that he should take until he fixes it criticism is justified there first goal was directly linked to a dropped mark in forward line and it could have been 4 goals to 0. Big difference.

Don’t agree about hanrahan he can play.

 

[Cleavy]

It’s a 5 day turnaround. I’m fully expecting them to manage Burgoyne either this week or next.

why Frawley don’t think we missed him and Frost and Hartley held their own - god he can kick a footy

 

[madhawksfan]

Keep Hartley and Frost as the key defenders. Loved CJ’s endeavour so he stays for mine. Cuz was good and Howe did some nice things in the second half. Ollie was handy and Patton looked in better touch than when he last played.

Silk will probably be managed with a short turn around.

Jaeger and Gunston obviously come back in if fit.

Play like we did today and we should win. Bombers are average and we would’ve won today with a fair shake from the maggots.

Don’t shoot me but might be time to give Day a rest

I think you should bring Mosquito in next week. Oh sh*t that’s right you didn’t match Essendscum bid.

You support Carltank. Hang your head in shame.

 

[WWSD]

Essendon ended our season last year, we end theirs right back.

15 years of tanking and this is the best you‘ve got?

 

[Setter Man]

Don’t worry I stick it up them also every opportunity I get.

 

[WireHawk]

Burgoyne stays. Rest him later.
Beating * is all that matters now.

Pick our best available team and end
any hope * have of finals.

 

[fieval]

Please, PLEASE!! do not lose to *

But, Stratts... thanks mate, your time has come.

As for any other changes.. I hope Finn gets a game.

That is all (from me...)

 

[TylerDurden]

In: Smith, Gunner, Frawley
Out: Glass, TOB, Scully.

Just win this game please.

 

[user33]

Legitimate chance of the free kick count being 0-0 in this game.

O'brien is just super average, and doesn't look like he's ever going to improve. Hardly takes marks, doesn't score more than a goal a game. Time to give up on him.
