Game Day Round 17, 2018 - Hawthorn vs. Brisbane Lions

[Reardo]

Hodge our Cox in

For real?

 

[jackess]

Shame about hodgey but great to see Cox get a game

 

[Dalions]

For real?

Yep, good chance for Cox though!
Been looking forward to him having another chance. He has really lifted his defensive efforts so it will be great to see how he goes.

 

[jackess]

Only a knock to the calf apparently. Not a calf strain.

 

[a mayes ing]

Darn, Hodgy has been so good for us lately. Will be a good test to see how we go without him tho. Hope Cox does well

 

[M Malice]

Without our 2 back line leaders in Hodgy and Harris, who leads in their absence? Darcy?

I am really looking forward to how Cedric has progressed though.

Would be an even better win now with Hodge out.

Lester? Rich? There are options

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Hodge to the coach’s box

 

[Nunez]

Missing Hodge is a big worry. Definitely an awesome opportunity for Cox but can't see us winning without our backline leaders. Will be great to see the how Dizzy, Rich and Witho step up.

Beautiful conditions at the ground. Blue skies and no wind at the moment. Its actually quite warm in the sun.

Come on scott, now you're having a lend of me. Do they sell hats in Tassie?

 

[MacMum]

Go Lions!!! Smack these pretenders. Your run and speed of ball movement will worry them badly if you can get it up and running.

Good way to keep warm too..

 

[Harris Specter]

Late change - Hodge out Cox in.
Due to a calf injury to Hodgey

 

[Dalions]

Midfield really need to step up to help stop the ball from getting to the backline.
Clog them up and make them play down the line.

 

[POBT]

Do they sell hats in Tassie?

Yes. Two per person.

 

[patfullfankezz]

We're doomed.

 

[deklares]

Lester? Rich? There are options

I'd go Lester, but it looks like it might be Rich.

Hoping Cedric takes the chance to shine. Got plenty to offer and could be very handy on a big ground with pace and good kicking skills.

I think it'll make our defence matchup better. NRobbo will likely have to play tall so with Cox in he can take the quicker forward.

Mcstay and Eric nailing their set shots from tight angles in the warm up. Lewy butchering it.

Lewy will kick a bag then.

Docherty interviwing the Lions... Still don't like him

 

[patfullfankezz]

Is anyone else having problems with the AFL Live app crashing?

 

[lioninthesand]

No Hodge with out Dad hurts, but at this stage eaxh game is just a challange to improve, win or loss not as important at this stage.

Psychologically, not having Hodge will hurt if they come out firing.
