Preview Round 20, 2022: St Kilda v Hawthorn, 30 July 2022, 4.35pm @ Marvel Stadium

[Hodginator]

Was it Breust who smashed Hannebery in the 2014 GF?

 

[Accipiter]

Hannebery got smashed 3 times in first quarter Breust slam tackle on the wing and Roughead from a throw in, I can't recall the other one.

Well, because Roughie is no longer on the list we might have to get him and Breust to beat him up on the way to the ground before the game ...

Seriously, I remember the poor bugger took a beating in that Grand Final. I don't recall him dominating many games post 2014.

Hale storm was the other!

I love this tackle but they'd probably pay a free against now. Newc laid a very similar tackle on Freo's Serong the other week and had it paid as dangerous. Just one of many mystifying umpiring calls.

 

[Glebehawk]

If Morris can hold down a spot in defence, then it might be time to put Day on the wing.

Every time we put Day somewhere other than Half back, he looks rather lost.

I know he’ll take time to adjust, but still reckon his best footy is from HBF.

That bump was electric. Boy did we come with intent that day. * me. Loved that GF

With Roughie currently working at the Saints it could be as easy as an "accidental" overly zealous tackling drill in the changerooms before the match.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Like the hawks 2001 ‘worst ever finalists wasnt it?

Darren Goldspink — "Hold my beer..."

 

[TylerDurden]

Gresham done for the year apparently.

My big worry on Day is the mistakes he’s making stem from a lack of awareness. His skills aren’t an issue, he just needs to stop getting run down and getting caught holding the ball.

 

[WWSD]

The amount of goals St Kilda were able to score from getting out the back of contests in Round 4 this year and also Round 7 last year was frustrating to watch. Big games will be needed from Hardwick, Jiath and Morris if we are to win.

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

CJ to return.

Was Dimma's worst game.
He's in career best form now.

It was Hale, they all buried him.

I’d be happy to concede a free if Nash can repeat Roughies effort and nail him again.

Would rather it on someone damaging like Sinclair or Steele

 

[Pessimistic]

Save it for the homophobe

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Do we think Sicily will get the job on King ? Or will we give Blanck the huge task and see how he handles it ?

Would imagine Blanck. They'll have a decade of match ups at least I'd say.

 

[MrPremiership]

Blanck on King
DGB on Wood
Sicily on Membrey??

 

[TylerDurden]

Blanck on King
DGB on Wood
Sicily on Membrey??

Sounds about right.
Morris on Snags.
Dimma on Butler.

 

[hawkman]

Blanck on King
DGB on Wood
Sicily on Membrey??

I would switch DGB and Sicily.

 

[MrPremiership]

I would switch DGB and Sicily.

I think Wood has been playing up the ground a fair bit recently, so I wouldn't want Sicily dragged out of the back 50 too often

It is more I would prefer to see DGB on the Membrey types at this stage in games that don't really matter too much

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Think we’ve got the game to beat them. Our contested game in the last month is top 3 in the league. Titch has found some good form again, Newcombe and Moore all 3 have been and forward of centre our mids and rucks are kicking goals, we’ve got multiple forwards kicking bags and are capable of it. And down in defense we have good matchups for St Kilda.
