Preview Round 2, 2020: Geelong v Hawthorn, 12 June 2020, 7.50pm @ GMBHA Stadium

Finn Maginess - Josh Kennedy mark 2 only much faster and can run all day. Lid is well and true off.....

Damn, he’s already a physical specimen, like I said earlier, he looks ready already

 

[tige19]

I’ve got this feeling that when Finn steps in, he’ll slot straight in and be right at home from the word go. He’ll hit the ground running and be a star from the get go.

100%.. Finn and Worps will be a dynamic duo for the next 10-12 years, we’ve also got Titch and Jags in their prime, supported by Shiels/Chad plus I have really high confidence that Harry Jones will be a player too.

 

[Mrzohs]

Mitch MUST play, if fit. He's ahead of ToB. Cegs 1st ruck, BB down back.

I Can't wait to see if it all works out. Our spine - Frawley,Mcevoy,Cegs,Lewis,Patton

The Small fwds will need to perform and be on there game, to lock the ball in and provide the pressure acts to complement the talls! Richmond do it best

 

[Roddy]

I'm excited. We're building something very special again, I can just feel it. We won't win the flag this year, and probably not next either, but we'll play finals and be in contention again by the last year of Clarko's contract.....

 

[Slysh]

Really hope to see Scrimshaw in the team in Round 2, was very impressive when had a decent run last season and will be huge for our future.

Pump games in to him!

Conor Downie as the NGA player coming in this year as well. The last piece of the puzzle.

Love to see him play on flank, cause a bit of trouble I'd imagine.

First step is to finish top 4 and from there anything can happen. Many are premierships have been won by teams that weren’t the best team all year but stepped up to the occasion on GF day. I reckon we have the kind of team that can pull off an upset of a season especially with our new found depth oh and the short fella in the coaches box.

 

[Walshawk]

B: Stratton Frawley Scrimshaw
HB: Hardwick Frost Sicily
C: Smith Worpel Scully
HF: Gunston Lewis Wingard
F: Bruest Patton Burgoyne
Fol: McEvoy Mitchell O’Meara/Maginness
Int: Sheils Henderson Puopolo TOB

If feel for Ceglar but with the short quarters BB can ruck all day with TOB giving a chop out. Hawks by 19.

If Lewis steps up like we all know he can and will, that forward line is SCARY.

 

[Chubberson]

TBF, we haven't seen much of Patton post knees. It will be interesting to see what he can do.

 

[Furn2]

The biggest issue will be the shape of the ground, Geelong's game is built around it being thin, they like to have extras a kick behind play and with the ground being so thin its hard to run through their zone so you end up kicking to the extras and they intercept mark.

Not sure what the solution is though, at the G you can switch on them, much harder here. Maybe go tall and just beat them at their own game. It wont be pretty, games there rarely are.

Yep. If we let Taylor and Stewart intercept all night, it's gonna be a long night.

 

[offtherails9]

Any word on if we have an internal trial this week or tomorrow? Based on history we would usually do that.

 

[WWSD]

I think Minchington is a good chance to play this game. Have Wingard in the midfield while O’Meara is out injured.

Great record against the Cats too!

Spot on, plus Will Day will become an exciting midfielder aswell.

i second this guys, any news on trails? i just watched the news the Tigers & Pies both had there Probs vs Possible hit out!

 

[Howe Amazing]

Have we heard how Will Day is coming along

 

[westhawk]

Have we heard how Will Day is coming along

Haven’t heard anything and it must be even more disappointing for the first year players hoping to establish themselves to have their first season unfold the way it has. Really looking forward to his development. Will fill out to a good size, has exceptional skills and has stated that he wants to be a midfielder.

 

[Pessimistic]

Any word if there’s a scratch game with the non selected?

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Taylor will have his hands full with either Lewis or Patton. Can't see much intercepting going on there TBH. Stewart will be the 1 they will try to float around doing what he likes just as Sicily will for us. I'd be looking to put a defensive forward on Stewart so we curtail his influence somewhat. Someone that can draw the ball and can take a mark. They will have issues controlling everyone down there it's a bloody dangerous setup.

Hopefully he has a home gym

Agree. Play a dangerous fwd line and have them react to us.
