Preview Round 15, 2017: Hawthorn v Collingwood, 2 July 2017, 3.20pm @ MCG

[HODGEYROAD]

Based on who's on the extended bench its going to be Stratton for Doc. As long as Willsmore does not play, I will be ok with it.

 

[Argy]

IN: Stratton, Willsmore, Heatherley

Heatherley played reasonably well last weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if he came in, but have no idea who would go out, seeing Statts is almost certain to return.

 

[Snakelilbandit]

Schoey looked good last week, couple of massive line breaking 70m bombs to advantage really opened up the game for us. Feel like if strats is to come back in, needs to be like for nearly like and Doc comes out.

Shoe or Doc depending on match ups and weather

Box hill would be desperate to get either

When billy brought down tex walker last week it was like a hyena downing a wilderbeast

Good to see

Thought the same thing when I saw the bench. Duryea was really good against Adelaide so pretty stiff.

They all played well. But if Stratton is fit he has to play.

Wot? He was destroyed by Weideman.

Really like the look of that backline.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Really like the look of that backline.

It looks raw. Josh Thurgood raw - but it somehow brought down the Adelaide forward line.

 

[Hawk_francais]

Seems like either Doc or Shoey out to me. Either would be very unlucky. I get the feeling it will be Doc given that it's a defender coming in.

It's been looking good at times since the Eagles game

Our forwards lost the last Collingwood games. Most of their 2nd half goals were from turnovers in our forward line

 

[WWSD]

Whilst Duryea has struggled for most of the season to find good form and consistency, last week was easily the best game he's played this year.

I agree it looks raw, but with a couple of champions down there to guide them it has a good mix.

 

[hawk for 37]

Any news on Poppy? Looked proppy at the end of last week's match. Caller on SEN this morning reckoned he was an out.

Might just be swap between Stratton and Pop.

Give Hardwick a go forward perhaps if Pop is out.

If Poppy is out, then Strats to the backline and Burton to the HFF.

I recon Sis to the HFF

Nar he's finally made the transition to the backline and looking good, I don't want him moved from there.

 

[MitchHomieQuan]

If we move any of the kids forward I reckon we put Burton there. Showed last week he can kick a score without needing a heap of the ball. Could be quite damaging and stretch the pies defence further.

 

[Buttonsticher]

No good getting games, he has been gifted buckets last year and this year. Take the game on, like Sisco did last week or get the fk outta town I reckon...

Agree with this. How many times Iv'e seen him flash forward see a roadblock and then handball it backward, drives me crazy! He needs to back himself to go through it or figure away around it with his pace. I woudn't mind if he doesn't make on occasion but have a crack.

The way he played last week gives me the impression he has been instructed. A number of times he pulled up to look for a better option rather than just kick it forward to no one. He seemed to be thinking things through better than ever before, even if the result wasnt what we want from him. Better signs, but a long way to go.

Burton in Schoey's role?

That'd be interesting

 

[threesixpio]

Wot? He was destroyed by Weideman.

Too simplistic a summary. Firstly we were undermanned (height wise). Secondly his first quarter was problematic but his next three were very good against Weiderman. The fact he turned his form around within a game was commendable.

 

[Gaston]

According to the SEN golf show on Wednesday night Schoenmakers was in fine form, hitting drives 320m on
the golf simulator. Although Shoenmakers did admit his short game was a problem.

Might explain why he likes kicking 50m bombs into our forward 50.
