Bump..

 

[kenneje]

According to Robbo, Bailey in and Hale out. What the funk?

 

[Jiggystoon]

Late changes for Bombers, Crameri and Hooker out, good news for us

 

[satan1]

Bailey in, Hale out. Savage sub.

Risky business, come on fellas!

 

[grizzlym]

Get onto live chat, it's fun.

 

[Gralin]

Bailey for Hale should be interesting hope Bails has a good game, expect Hale still recovering from the Knock he received to the shin last week

 

[Salisbury]

I assume the roof is closed at Etihad tonight?

 

[markr]

Big outs for the bombers.

 

[Jiggystoon]

Happy to see Bailey getting a run tonight, hope he can pick up where he left off last season

 

[SodaPop]

Bailey in, Hale out. Savage sub.

Risky business, come on fellas!

Savage must be doing a training block. Probably a good idea as he ran out of steam about this stage last year.
Can't believe Hodge is playing a full game?

 

[Messenger]

Crameri is a massive out.

What's the story with Hale?

 

[apiro]

I hope Hale is Ok and just a precaution. Notwithstanding, great to see Bailey again. Have heard some promising reports on Bailey from BHH.

Crameri out no surprise. Hooker I suspect because Bombers don't want to make same mistake as Pies with too many talls.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Late changes for Bombers, Crameri and Hooker out, good news for us

Had a feeling Crameri wouldnt play, he's not right. But Hooker out is a win for us, big win.

 

[Steven Tyler]

I assume the roof is closed at Etihad tonight?

When has it ever been open for a night match?

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I was going to wish you guys luck, but I think Crameri and Hooker being late withdrawals probably negates the need to do that. This is one of my favourite rivalries, and I really hope this is a fantastic contest. Have a good evening and feel free to come over to our banter thread for the celebrations when we win!

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Carn' the Hawks, another big game, we can do it!

 

[Salisbury]

When has it ever been open for a night match?

No idea. I don't go to Etihad Stadium often. And again I will be supporting the Hawks from teh comfort of my couch.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Happy to see Bailey come in, Hale has been really good for us so I hope it is just a precautionary measure to rest him up. Possibly a leg issue from when he kicked the shin of his opponent last week?

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Happy to see Bailey come in, Hale has been really good for us so I hope it is just a precautionary measure to rest him up. Possibly a leg issue from when he kicked the shin of his opponent last week?

Yeah. possibly. Forgot about that. Good to see Bails back, but hope Haley is ok. Been superb this year.

Hodgey a full game hey. Could be interesting for him. I predict heavy rotation from him for most of the game.

Hope he plays forward

 

[macdaddio]

Can't take this game lightly even with the Scumd injuries. We still need to continue our mind set and take no team for granted

 

[Off The Couch]

Hooker out and buddy not even playing - he must be crying

Had forgotten that Cyril kicked goal of the year against this mob - lets hope he can do it again in his 100th game

 

[tazhawk]

Crameri is a massive out.

What's the story with Hale?

If you remember he kicked into a Collingwood players leg last week and looked very poppy for about 10 minutes.

Was limping during the week according to a guy at training.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Pumped now, pumped.

Shiels to Stanton, Lewis to Fletcher, Sewell to keep Watson honest.

Back the rest to beat their direct opponent

 

[Off The Couch]

Just want it to start now
