Him, Rioli, Baker, Aarts will all be good in the wet.
Will be a tough arvo.

Edwards too. He always carves us up

 

[Brishawk]

If Hanrahan had turned around and actually looked, he might’ve noticed that too.

The handball might’ve been too tight in the end, but Ollie deserves a dressing down as much as Zac Clarke got a few years back. TOB and Phillips saved his blushes on the night, but I doubt it’ll save him from Craig McRea

How do you know Breust didn’t tell him to hold onto it and take the shot? Ollie had his back to Breust and had to wait under the ball with a player running at him. He needs his team mates to talk to him to tell him he is in space etc. if they didn’t that is on them. If he ignored them, that is on him. But we don’t know which it is so how can we condem him?

My concern is that he didn’t make the distance.

Not a lot of us thought the Hawks could play AFL in the snow. Nek minnit… BOOM!

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Unfortunately wingard wont be ready. I want scrimshaw in. Its a hard decision. Kosi stays in the kid has a very big upside. He must get games. It means lewis has to bide his time. So who goes out CJ hahaha nahh it has to be someone like howe started really nervously played a solid game but the most vulnerable but will see how things go this week

Hanrahan or Ceglar, unless we are dropping Brockman after one game.

[KermitJagger]

Tentatively happy about this, provided that it doesn't mean more restrictions around actually attending. Having extra people there but making it an even bigger pain in the arse to go isn't ideal.

 

[matey]

Scrimmers and Downie in for Hanrahan and Howe. Let’s weave our way through with some extra good left footers to minimise the turnovers with this mob.

 

[Davo-27]

the 2 players i thought were a bit disappointing in the win were Howe and Hanrahan, any of Downie, Greaves, Scrimshaw, DGB or Lewis could be inclusions, if we think it could improve our chances against Richmond.

Scrimmers replacing Howe makes sense because he can play the same roles as Howe but at a better clip, Downie replacing Hanrahan doesn't. If Hanrahan comes out there's a fair chance it'll be someone like Nash coming in.

With Breust, Tyler, Burgs and rotating one or two others through at stages small forwards should be covered. With Downie’s run and carry with his beautiful kick on the wide open G he could break the game open at times. We’ve gotta have a brave mindset, take the game on this week or we will play into the Tigers hands. In recent times we didn’t have the players to play this way but now we have Day, CJ, Downie, Frost, Impey who all like to take off!

When has Scrimshaw played tagger? As for Nash,best he can hope for is an encouragement award at Box Hill's B&F.

Scrimshaw has played in the middle previously and we've gone past using Howe to tag, Scrim can at least be a big body and use the ball more effectively. He's also more effective in defense.

Nash kicked 2 goals and had 2 goal assists in the second quarter in the VFL practice match, was pretty well key to our turnaround.

He's a difficult match up at the least and his speed, size and endurance could have him play a role against Short who is Richmond's key ball mover in defense.

 

[Big Hotdog]

Soo, what does this mean for members other than more Richmond numpties at the game?

 

[Daka]

How big will the crowd get for Hawks v Tigers? Hawks home game.

60k?

It means we can all go on Easter Monday.

 

[MinerBoy]

Pfft who cares about that game of minnows. Let's get the capacity for our game.

 

[Daka]

60k?

Anything less would be disappointing imo considering both these clubs should easily pull 75K.

 

[GlenferrieOval3122]

Tag Dusty and annoy him all day. Matt de Boer did a job on Dusty a few years ago when GWS played Richmond and he did a great job keeping him quiet. We need someone to drive Dusty nuts from the opening bounce to the final siren.

Disaster

He doesn't have the tank yet. All signs point to defence this year.

I don't see why we would ever move this fella even if gets a tank - he is already our new Joel Smith. (i'm not game enough to say LH)
