[Dixie Flatline]

Preview and changes in here.

Queries over Howe and McEvoy from the game tonight.

 

[Cleavy]

In: revenge!
Out: complacency

 

[spudmaster]

With another win today over the Blues, Brisbane would want to be careful not to rack up too many more for the season

 

[DEECEE]

I want to absolutely bury the lions in this game. We need revenge and %.

 

[Hodginator]

Preview and changes in here.

Queries over Howe and McEvoy from the game tonight.

Hopefully they’re both ok. Both were very important for us tonight.

 

[Off The Couch]

This game has now become even more important

Revenge and consolidation in the 8
We need to repeat tonight’s performance but over four quarters

Team should go in unchanged unless there are forced changes through Howe and B.B.

 

[savagelunchbox]

Hey everyone, guess who's coming in for McEvoy...

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Hey everyone, guess who's coming in for McEvoy...

Don't go there savage......

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Really want to see us take the momentum from the Dogs game into next week.

We need redemption.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Frawley to play his 200th AFL game.
Gunston to play his 150th game for the Hawks, and needs 1 goal for his 300th Hawks goal.

 

[WWSD]

IN: Glass

OUT: Duryea (omitted)


B: Stratton, Frawley, Hardwick

HB: Burton, Sicily, Glass

C: Henderson, Mitchell, Smith

HF: Impey, Gunston, Miles

F: Breust, Roughead, Puopolo

R: McEvoy, O’Meara, Shiels

INT: Morrison, Ceglar, O’Rourke, Howe

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Not a fan of Duryea but Glass isn't AFL standard as much as he tries. Hope BB is OK. Close to our most important player
Ideally no change needed regardless of whether Langford is fit

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

The motivation is simply enormous. Once again playing a team in form which is another test. Three weeks in a row now for us.

Cegs becomes massive. He has been a very solid since his return. Mcevoy a massive out.

We need to provide that same urgency and polish as we did in the second half v dogs.

Roughead again the barometer.

O’meara to back up also becomes crucial.

Ultimately the venue suits us.

Our first quarters again have been suspect. Seem to be conceding four to five goals every first quarter. The statistics are completely ****ed!!! Furthermore the two times we dominated the first quarter we gave the lead back in the second. Our first quarters have effectively cost us games and massive percentage. Hopefully this is addressed!

1. Collingwood 22pts
2. Geelong 31 points
3. Richmond 33 points
4. Melbourne 35 points
5. North 47 points
6. Saints 4 points (3.7 first quarter for us)
7. Essendon 26 points
8. Swains 25 points
9. Lions 25 points
10. Eagles 20 points
11. Port 32 points
12. Adelaide 8 points
13. Suns 22 points
14. Giants 33 points
15. Dogs 25 points

McEvoy won't play sadly. So do we bring in another ruck, maybe Lewis?

 

[WWSD]

McEvoy won't play sadly. So do we bring in another ruck, maybe Lewis?

Why won’t he play?

 

[TylerDurden]

McEvoy won't play sadly. So do we bring in another ruck, maybe Lewis?

Lewis for me.

How far off is Shaun?

 

[The German Hunter]

Time to unleash Conor 2 after a best on today

 

[VandoHawk]

McEvoy out is a big blow. Personally I'd back Pittonet and keep Ceglar predominately forward to give us more forward structure. Pitto is likely going to get monstered by Martin, but his effort to get down and dirty to tackle could help out against Brisbane's midfield. Lewis is too raw and O'Brien...maybe. I'm hopeful Howe gets up too, but it's no guarantee. Ice on the knee usually isn't a good sign.

Ins: Pittonet, Worpel
Outs: McEvoy (injured), Howe (injured)

B: Burton Frawley Stratton
HB: Impey Sicily Hardwick
C: Smith Sheils Henderson
HF: Duryea Gunston Worpel
F: Bruest Ceglar Puopolo
Fol: Pittonet Mitchell O'Meara
Int: O'Rourke, Morrison, Worpel, Miles

 

[Hawk Hawkins]

Why won’t he play?

Smashed in face. People here have been saying out for 4-6 weeks.

 

[tommyk72]

Did O'Rourke do enough to stay awakened?

 

[Hawk Dork]

Where is this BB wont play coming from?

Give him Bungs old helmet

 

[Baz_hawk]

Why won’t he play?

Suggested on the radio a fractured cheekbone based on medical staff. Hopefully they've gone early!

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Pitto IN please

 

[Snibs]

Has Grant Birchall fallen off the face of the Earth? Anyone with a clue know when he will be back?

 

[Baz_hawk]

Pitto IN please

Apparently sat out the last quarter for Box Hill with injury.
