Preview Round 15 2019: Hawthorn v West Coast, 1:45pm AEST @ MCG

[Gralin]

​

Hawks first home game in over a month and first MCG game fore even longer.

We host the reigning premiers in a rare Saturday game at the G

West Coast look like being with the Gov who has been offered a one match ban.

Thoughts, changes, hopes and dreams, possibly nightmares.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I'm actually going to this game. Going to have myself about 8 negronis.

That should take care of everything after quarter time.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

The only certainty about this game is we'll try and play sideways ball retention football and kick no more than 10 or 11 goals.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Hard to see us beating WCE, so we will undoubtably beat them.

Sounds like a plan

 

[westhawk]

Will be the same old crap game plan. We will have the same undeserving players selected. The only thing different, will be that the margin will be much larger than tonight. As Ned said in the autopsy thread, only one plus 30 year old should be picked and that is Hendo. Some great servants need to be dropped( Roughie, Poppy, Ceglar, Breust, Burgoyne, Smith).

 

[Hawthorn United]

Time to blood the kids and give them a taste to prepare for 2020 and beyond.

If you have enough of them you might wake up just in time for our match vs Collingwood six days later.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Looking forward to the return of Wingard in this one and hopefully the return of Lewis and a debut or 2. Weagles are vulnerable without McGovern and Barrass but coudn’t give a stuff about winning anymore. It’s all about preparing for next year now!!

Happy to join in. I want to be blissfully numb for this.

HAWKS BY A BAZILLION!

You might feel different when your hangover kicks in tomorrow...

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I’d name changes, but let’s face it - the kids won’t play and we’ll persist with the same baffling selection policy, game style and any kid with a remote sign of potential will languish at Box Hill as per usual.

But hey - at least I get to sit in my member’s seat for the first time in almost 2 months.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Looking forward to Nic Nat kicking 8

I’m actually happier when drunk. Let that one sink in.

 

[StillAtLarge]

One of Breust or Poppy needs to be dropped. We can't keep carrying them. Gunston was awful last night too but he's our skipper. The worst thing is the Eagles owe us on the G, they would've circled this fixture when it was released.
Prepare for an epic reaming ladies & gents...

 

[Spursfan]

We'll have a crack. We're just not good enough atm and we have a brutal draw these last 9 weeks. Would like to see some of these young fellas get a gig over a couple of the older guys who aren't performing.

[Davo-27]

things that i am hopeful for

1. im hopeful that we play youngsters in form if injury free: Lewis, CJ, Scrimshaw and Ross, i believe these 4 especially have a future for Hawthorn
2. im hopeful we play better in the midfield and learn to lower our eyes as we enter the forw 50m zone looking for players like Gunston, Breust, Wingard? if he is fit, so they can have a chance to convert the good work the midfielders do winning the tough midfield contests
3. im hopeful that we have leaders on the field to make sure everyone is following Clarkos and the other coaches orders
4. im hopeful our execution by foot improves and we give our team mates a chance to do something positive with possession

im unsure we can defeat one of the powerhouses, but if everything goes right, then who is to say we cant?

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Out : Morrison wasn’t sighted against swans
Out : Roughie time has caught up
Out : Puopolo see Roughie
Out : Ceglar play one ruckman
Out : Brand needs to do better at ground level

In : Lewis not sure why he was dropped
In : Scrimshaw if fit otherwise, have a look at Jiath
In : Cousins been in better form than Morrison
In : Miles need another small defender that uses the ball well
And with Puopolo out Impey to forward line
In : Wingard if fit otherwise Ross should get some reward for his form of late

Sicily to the Backline

These changes won’t happen because Clarko will still think we can make the eight

Clarko needs to stop huffing paint if this is the case.
