Preview Round 20, 2023 : Hawthorn v Saints, Marvel Stadium 1:10pm 30th July

[Dipper]

I'll be disappointed if Ryan doesn't debut, especially if Greene gets the nod.

I'll be disappointed if Ryan doesn't debut, especially if Greene gets the nod.

Me too. Green we have seen but Ryan not. At this stage of the season with only few games left it is better to give the kid a chance so we could see how he goes in the big stage.

 

[Bugs1977]

Reckon we got this one

I’m with you Des

 

[Newmo89]

What is wrong with Amon?

Has had a knee niggle the past few weeks which has meant he spent time in the rehab group for some training sessions and also missed the past 2 match simulations during the main training.

 

[Dewnior]

So why did we trade him in

Are Kosi, Morrison and Stephens contracted for next season, if not there gonski

Stephens would have to be contracted for next year. Unfortunately, it takes more than 1 year to purge the Geelol filth out of him.

 

[Dewnior]

I’m with you Des

Me too. I've seen the light and am a recent convert.

We need Ryan for structure. Surely gets the nod.

Don't say the s word here. It drives people mad!

 

[Sixpence]

Don't say the s word here. It drives people mad!

Yeh, people don't like being called Shirley.

 

[SpanishBrowne]

Yeh, people don't like being called Shirley.

goddamit. beat me.

but yes.. i wanna see Ryan! time of the season to be seeing what else we got.. seems we won't be moving anywhere on the ladder.

 

[arupist]

Yeh, people don't like being called Shirley.

Shirley you don't mean that.

 

[Notsoyabby]

Yeh, people don't like being called Shirley.

But he was a good Hawthorn supporter. May he rest in peace.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Ryan to debut.

 

[Manila_Hawk]

Ryan to debut.

Wowee...

 

[caseman2]

Ryan has upside but anyone who has watched any VFL - you are going to be mightily disappointed with his efforts off the ball. Pressure rating would be negative - both at the Bulllants AND Box Hill

The way our forward line is travelling a couple of marks inside 50 and two goals would likely guarantee his spot for next week.

 

[streetspirit]

Strangely I still would want to see Greene in to see if he can still find space and the ball alongside two genuine talls rather than having to play at one himself.

But it would have to be for Breust's spot rather than Brocky / CMac etc and obviously that won't happen.

Unfortunately this area has been a weakness for us for a while. As long as he can contribute for us offensively he will be doing his bit.

Best pressure is scoreboard pressure. Ryan to kick 6.....

 

[extractasam]

Ryan to debut.

What’s the source for this?

 

[moginie]

Sneaky chance for 4+ on debut?

Or 0.4 if his Box Hill debut was any indication.

 

[Yardie]

What’s the source for this?

Hopefully there is more to it but watching Sam's presser the question and his expressions lent towards it happening.

 

[hawkinoz]

Me too. Green we have seen but Ryan not. At this stage of the season with only few games left it is better to give the kid a chance so we could see how he goes in the big stage.

Rarely does a debut comes direct, think it will be next week. this week in Emergencies to show he is valued and for Ryan to back up the coach with a blinder.

Greene was injured when he got subbed, so natural he gets his chance back. Has scored few goals in his return. Sam is fair to his players and know many are all playing for their career.

Won't be fussed either way. I like both.
