Random Question for anyone but any idea why I can only buy a single seat at a time with my 11 game membership? Very frustrating.

 

[Crusey]

(Same with my 11 game)
Only a single free seat on level 4 but you can buy up to 6 on lower levels if you pay a few bucks

 

[Dave Id]

Learn something new everyday!

Nah. Grumbly over thought it.

Dis as't 'er, as in froze bum off.

Sam Mitchell’s box hill report could not be more positive about lewis:

He was the dominant man on the field. He kicked 2.2 but that doesn't reflect his influence on the game. I thought he was a big, physical presence in the air and on the ground. He was able to have three or four score assists and just about everything he touched turned into a score for us. It was a really pleasing game from him and his leadership and influence on the game to drive our standards was also very good."

Does it sound better than cegs is my question?

 

[TheFourPillars]

Scrimmers and nashy had great games on the weekend. Scrim comes in i reckon.

Kind of not relevant how he plays as a forward if Clarko insists on two ruckman. Except in the case he dislodges Kosi or tob. Yet to see any sign Clarko will stray from the 2ruck-2forwaed model. I don’t think you need two rucks but Clarko clearly does

It sounds better than TOB to me, although scoring the winning goal he’s a lock.

Got an invite to a corporate box. * yeah. Better win though !!

 

[threesixpio]

Can Nash play anywhere but forward?

I reckon it’s just as much about prolonging BB’s career as it is a philosophy about 2 rucks. They clearly don’t want him doing anymore than half the ruck work if they can so just getting a pinch hitter to do the rest probably ain’t gonna cut it.

Sammy Mitchell talking up Scrimshaw and Lewis out of the Boxhill v Dons hit out.

Edit: oops sorry SLY missed your post on the phone app.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Yeh off this team. He is sh*t.

He is no world beater but dude, come on, that's a bit harsh.

Yeh off this team. He is sh*t.

Come on HBE. That wasn’t my question

Could we drop Cegs and play Lewis, Kosi and TO up forward with TO giving McEvoy a rest in the ruck?

 

[VandoHawk]

I want Lewis in the side but I don’t want to drop Kosi. His defensive efforts were great on the weekend and he’ll only improve with more AFL exposure. That being said I don’t think we can play three talls + two rucks. We did in our Premiership years but our talls were some of the most mobile in the game.

In the long term I’d consider dropping Ceglar but he hasn’t been bad and from all reports Clarkson seems to value the two-ruck setup. Unfortunately I think that means Lewis might miss again despite the glowing review.

That injury list is just rubbish. Scrimshaw and Cousins played on the weekend without any sign of re-injury, so why are they listed as a test??

I can see ceglar being dropped for Lewis, and obrien being the second ruck

May have picked up another niggle or knock.

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

Come on HBE. That wasn’t my question

It’s probably too late to try him anywhere else.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

May have picked up another niggle or knock.

Watched the AIA Vitality injury update and Luke Boyd said Scrimshaw was available last week (which is obvious as he played for Box Hill) and pulled up well. Not listed on our injury list nor should he be. Definite in for me this week to replace Howe. Would play Downie at the G but not sure who he replaces?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

This is a Hawthorn discussion board for Hawthorn fans, and the expectation is that all Hawthorn fans should post with respect towards our players whether they are stars or fringe players.

Its really not that hard to be respectful of the people who are actually out there wearing the jumper.

We have family of current players, friends of current players and even past players who read here, so if you can't post about a HFC listed player without insulting them or calling them names, maybe this board is not for you.
