Review Round 18 vs Hawthorn @ Adelaide Oval (20/9/20 - 1:05pm)

[The Victorian]

Could we bring in Wright, Fiorini and Brodie?

One last crack to see if they are any good?

 

[Mini GF]

Peel is a legend.

You would think Geelong will beat Sydney and Melbourne will beat Essendon.
So if we win we will go from pick 5 to pick 6.
Maybe that’s a reason to make all those mass changes, give lots of people that haven’t played this year a game.
You then have the excuse of having rolled out a weak lineup, you get to have a look at all those players that have been denied a game this year and we stay at pick 5.

Nope, we need to go out with a win. Enough of the losing culture. We need to win and end the season on a high note so it builds faith and belief in all the young fellas that their hard work is paying off.

Clarko and the Hawks are in tank mode and risk potentially jumping ahead of the Swans on the ladder if they beat us. Even though we're a better team than the Hawks currently, I think the potential draft ramifications should mean this is a fairly comfortable win for us.

We'll go into the off season with a win, 13th place on the ladder (our second highest ever finish) and 6.5 wins in a 17 game season with a percentage of 95+. That's clearly progression from last season. It's only 2.5 wins and less than 10% behind the Bulldogs who are currently in 8th position.

The last (and only) time we won the final round of the season was against the Giants in 2013. Our losing average for the last 3 years is 96 points. Time to finish on a high.

If Harbrow is named.

Dew is chasing a loss.

We have no replacement? Joyce is way to slow and Buddas is injured.

 

[Ben Drever]

Who comes in for him?

McLennan was meant to be his replacement when we moved up the draft 2 years ago..

give the kid a run.

Get some hunger in his belly pre- pre season.

I don't think that will happen. Harbrow will get his final game (might announce retirement prior). Kids aren't getting enough of a run elsewhere to have match fitness. There will be no changes if possible.

Jez did a hamstring the other week, don't think he is available

Lemmens out, Ainsworth in, maybe Flanders back in for Holman

 

[Lord_Flashheart]

Lemmens out, Ainsworth in, maybe Flanders back in for Holman

Yeah, Ainsworth of course.

Holman, or as he was known for a period of time on Monday - ******* HOLMAN!!!! should get dropped, not sure what Flanders is offering though but get another game into him I guess.

Ned will be better off for the run, id love to see him get some midfield bursts but im not sure if he has the tank for it yet

I have the signed game ball from that one. Had no idea that’s the last time we won the final round.

At least Hawthorn don't have any pacy forwards.
Luke Breust, Paul Puopolo their small forwards

Bruest isn't fast but is a quick thinker so you definitely need someone with pace to stay with him . Puopolo is just a nothing player now so not stressed who runs with him

Murdoch , GHS , Miles, hombsch should play their their part big body to protect the kids plus super and warming up seat for Atkins .

If Hawks are tanking, put your house on us 40+

We owe the Hawks a belting after they were laughing at us in Roughies final game

put them to the sword and finish another disappointing season on a high
