Preview Round 17, 2020: Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs, 13 September 2020, 3.35pm @ Adelaide Oval

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

What else is there to see? At his age he's not going to get any better. This is who he is.

Not sure why ppl on here think cegs is gonna turn the corner and turn into a top ruckman. Should do our best to trade him.

CJ getting dropped? But Burgoyne back?

That's the experience we need for that late finals push. Well at least Finn is finally getting a go.

He was awful last weekend, there's no point in making a fantastic effort to attempt a spoil if youre going to miss the ball and man completely while also hindering your teammates run for the ball. He needs to learn this, shame there;s no VFL this year as he would've benefited greatly in advancing his judgment.

He's also shirked a few contest when it was his time to puts his body on the line. Cj being dropped shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Yes trade him and have McEvoy as our only ruckmen, Reeves will probably never make it and if he does it certainly wont be next year.

Who thinks that?

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

There’s plenty of young rucks who are 1000x better then cegs, that we can get. Have a look for yourself.

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

Keen for Morrison to get his 12 touches , 5 of them turnovers the other 7 backwards or sideway kicks

 

[Mercy Seat]

Do we think Clarkson is deliberately getting a good look at Ceglar and still making his mind up if his capable to be the number 1 ruck in the future.
Cegs is a frustrating player he does some nice things but can also get dominated in short periods in quarters and it hurts us.

He’s just protecting BB, playing him mostly in defence as he’s pretty banged up. Still worth more to us on the field though than off.

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

Pleased stratton is still out hopefully that’s the last we see of him. Greaves >>>

1000x, eh?

Are we challenging next year? Makes no sense in having Ceglar as insurance if we could get a positive deal for us. Yeah we would have to bring in an untried young ruck but I don’t see how that disadvantages us.

Stratton hasn’t had a great year but he is a premiership player and captain of our club. I will be seriously pissed If he doesn’t get a game next week

In fact this applies to any premiership player playing his last game

Can you think of a less obnoxious way to phrase this sentiment?

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

Yes cegs is that bad unfortunately

I thought you wanted kids? Still offers more than CJ who’s been pretty ordinary.

Who do you take out the back six though mate ? All have been performing pretty good.

Never said I wanted Morrison in the team lol rather give walker or ross a go

really don’t care - it’s the last game and we certainly aren’t playing a do or die game

If stratton gets one which he 100% deserves then I hope poppy gets one too as he has been an absolute warrior for our club too.

He’s your whipping boy this week is he?
We all know Morrison isn't a superstar, but he also doesn’t turn it over as much as you suggest.

So maybe he should go back and learn in the VFL... Oh wait. So instead let's play the oldest player in the league.

You can't just play kids or the kids in the side get belted, JOM in the side will help Finn out significantly, as will Burgyone with helping Hardwick, Day and Scrimshaw.

Interesting comment. Don’t necessarily disagree but feel that Morrison plays safe far too in order to avoid turning the ball over. When he is under pressure and is forced to take the riskier option he does tend to turn the ball over. The fact that he tends to play safe and almost never has more than 20 possessions frustrates most supporters and has earnt him the vanilla tag

Still can’t work out where it all went wrong for him after his terrific debut against the bulldogs. Prior to the debut he had a sensational debut season with box hill and looked set to have a long and successful career.
