Preview Round 19, 2018: Hawks v Freo, changes and stuff

[Nugett]

Depends on what toy is on offer

A blow up Grimmace doll?

 

[Nugett]

Good to see JOR get a run. Hoping he keeps improving. Harry a little bit unlucky.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

So H gets a rest.
Why is Duryea even considered as an emergency ffs? Is it because he gives good hair cuts and presents a show on HawkTV?.

Stop being so bloody hysterical.

Assuming H is just getting a rest. Is he playing at BH?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

The Duryea hatred is at hysterical levels. Has done the job in big games, always gives it his all. Yes he has deficiencies and his clangers tend to happen at the worst possible moments - but he absolutely puts in when selected. Does not deserve the vitriol.

Yet JOR is the next Tom Mitchell.

Weird bunch

Don't forget Lovell can barely muster a dozen touches in the VFL but should be getting senior games.

But don't you DARE pick a guy who has stood up when it matters.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Very nervous about this. We need to stand up.

 

[MrPremiership]

Free are a 6 goal better side at home than away.

Need to be at our best. I like the side, but Brand in is a bit much.

 

[Brishawk]

Free are a 6 goal better side at home than away.

So they are an 8 goal side at home? That shouldn’t trouble us.

 

[Nugett]

Assuming H is just getting a rest. Is he playing at BH?

Don’t know to be honest

 

[OnceKicked50]

I think Morrison has just been omitted. He clearly has the makings of a good career ahead of him, but he isn't a lock at this stage in his career. His form has been OK at best and both Worpel and O'Rourke on last weeks form are more deserving the Harry's past six weeks have been.

If he was rested I doubt he would be named as an emergency.

Anyhow, little nervous by this game. Tough trip, but I think we should get the job done and roll into an absolute cracker at the G next weekend - fingers crossed.

 

[IdiotBox]

We should smack these pricks.

You're kind of the anti-Shakey aren't you? Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.

 

[Davo-27]

Assuming H is just getting a rest. Is he playing at BH?

it said in the article he is the travelling emergency, so if he isnt a late IN, he should be fully rested.....

tough game, flip a coin i reckon, depends on which Hawthorn plays this week

Spot on! Has his moments, good and bad, but never leaves any effort spare in the tank.

Completely agree. Harry is going to be a long term player for the club but apart from his 2nd half against the Bulldogs where he sat on JJ, he has been very average for a good 6 or 7 weeks. Playing mainly outside, you need to be getting more than 13 or 14 touches unless you are Cyril or even Impey.

Some tell Brand to be less man conscious and back his ability to read the flight of the ball, the number of needless free kicks he gives away is astounding.

On the whole, no issues with selection

Correct. Doc was Bog in the preliminary final against the dockers in 2015 in the game of his life, if not for his efforts that night there would have been no 3 peat. He plays ahead of O’Rourke imo.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

13-9 with our % is pretty much assured of getting us a finals spot the way things are shaping up, lose on Sunday to Freo and 13 wins is beyond us.

That sounds like the Langford defence to be honest.

I guess people are just looking forward, and prefer to see games into guys like Morrison, Worpel, cousins etc that into dureya who has been pretty poor for a while.

I'd have preferred him at box hill than as a travelling emergency to find touch

 

[Goldhawk]

So are all four emergencies going over ?

No Burgoyne, no three-peat.

Let’s hope this is not on the menu tomorrow

Stop being so bloody hysterical.

Complaining about someone being an emergency is a new one. I say we have an “Outrageous Emergency Selections” thread

 

[threesixpio]

Let’s hope this is not on the menu tomorrow

He’s right though. The difference between our good and bad is much larger this year and last year than the previous 5 ones or so
