[Dixie Flatline]

Last MCG game for the season, unless the Hawks make the finals and play a Victorian team. Two games to come at Marvel, including a home game, a game at York Park, a game at Perth Stadium and a game at Manuka to come.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Gunston in Puopolo out. Nash was better than pops today. Puopolo hasn’t kick a goal in about 10 weeks.

I think Nash has to stay. Saw glimpses today.

Good looking side adding Gunner. I think Nash will keep his spot. Poppy needs a spell. Scrimmers a chance if they give Scully a much needed rest.

 

[pipcoo]

The Pussy's will be Very nervous.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Lost to the Cats earlier in the year by 23 points. Battled hard with an average team in.
Possible changes for this game:
In: Frawley, Birchall, Burgoyne, Shiels, Hanrahan and O’Brien.
Out: Brand, Cousins, Morrison, Mirra, Scrimshaw and Puopolo*

 

[WWSD]

If Puopolo is rested next week I would like to see Minchington given a chance. Pretty much a like for like player.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

We gonna just bomb it long all game?

 

[Crankyhawk]

We gonna just bomb it long all game?

Nash to spoil the high ball if Lewis doesn’t mark.

(Wild optimism)

AFL Media in 2019 when hawthorn win...



Nobody can see the growth in the young players except the fans

Do you send howe to kelly? Or do you roll the dice with him against dangerfield, and hope howe can better stop him in the forward line?

Nash/Lewis stay in for mine, potentially TOB forward again.

Frawley to hawkins, Sicily/TOB to ratugolea, Birch/Stratts to ablett/Danger, Impey to rohan, hardwick to dalhaus

I’d send Howe to Kelly personally. Such a dangerous player, killed us last time out.

 

[Hodginator]

If we win one more game for the year, I hope it’s this one.

TOB forward again for sure. I think he's finally settled in his spot. Looks great

 

[madhawksfan]

For mine Nash should stay. The forward line has functioned better with him and Lewis there.

Plus, each time we play Geelong, Taylor and co take mark after mark. Need guys who can half the contest then apply pressure.

Gunston in if he’s right. The out of tough.

Howe to Kelly and Shiels to Dangerflog. Would love Impey to take Ablett and get stuck into him physically and verbally at every opportunity and make him accountable the other way.

We are always in the contest against these blokes and should go in confident.

 

[WWSD]

Shiels 200th game

 

[hawkman]

Geelong have just been going for the last month and are gettable. Can't afford though the 30 minute lapse we generally have

 

[Xtreme]

Dangerflog.

It's catching on!!!!

Grelong are patchy, hopefully the Hawks can do the same as the Bulldogs and Port Adelaide.

 

[hawkguru]

No change for me. Gunners with another week off. our fwd line is starting to gel nicely

 

[MinerBoy]

Can't see how we lose to be honest.

 

[Hawk_francais]

In: Gunston
Out: I have no idea and I'm glad I'm not part of the selection committee
