Preview Round 3, 2021 : Hawks v Cats, Easter Monday 3:20pm @MCG

[Strapping Young Lad]

Changes and all that here.




IN: Lewis
OUT: Kosi

Is wingard getting up for this game?

 

[Dinsdale]

Hope Day's ankle is ok, he might be the only out.

 

[WWSD]

IN: Wingard, Lewis

OUT: Ceglar (omitted), Day (injured)


B: Hardwick, Hartigan, Jiath

HB: Scrimshaw, Frost, Impey

C: Morrison, Mitchell, Phillips

HF: Wingard, Koschitzke, Burgoyne

F: Brockman, Lewis, Breust

R: McEvoy, O’Meara, Worpel

INT: Shiels, Moore, O’Brien, Howe, Hanrahan (Sub)

 

[Dew2KFC2Flag08]

Scrimshaw for Day (forced)
Wingard, Lewis and Downie for Hanrahan, Ceglar and Phillips.

 

[VandoHawk]

He probably won’t be dropped but O’Brien remains a significant concern. Was non-competitive against Richmond. I’d be dropping him ahead of Kosi personally.

 

[westhawk]

Hanrahan and O’Brien out. Don’t mind who comes in.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Wbby]

Don't think Kosi is going to be dropped.

 

[Wingnut19]

Hanrahan has to go. Does absolutely nothing. Doesn’t pressure, doesn’t score, can’t hold a tackle.

 

[LMGjr]

Don't think Kosi is going to be dropped.

What would be the point - I can't see it.

Plodfield is the problem more so then young forwards.

So are two lame duck rucks.

 

[Billyc]

OUT: Day (inj), TOB, Hanrahan

IN: Scrimshaw, Downie, Lewis

Is Wingard ready? I’d personally drop one of Shiels/O’Meara/Worpel and play him midfield if so. Unless redeployed into new roles, we can’t keep running with those three as the support crew for Mitchell. We need something different in there other than mid-paced, mid-sized ball winners who turn it over and make poor decisions. And if they can’t play other roles, we can’t keep playing all three.

 

[eldorado]

Just about ready to bring in Downie for Phillips.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Don't think Kosi is going to be dropped.

Some of his marking contests and second efforts today were really disappointing.

He has Lewis breathing down his neck.

 

[TylerDurden]

Chad has to play.

 

[Bardo State]

IN: Scrim, Lewis, Cousins
OUT: Day (inj), Kosi, Howe

Will wait for the Box Hill match report but there was plenty of love for Nash in the Twitter write-up. Downie obviously close.

Cousins worked so well with our mids last year. Needs a go again.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Hanrahan was the only player who put in repeat efforts all day today, why do people want him dropped?

 

[LMGjr]

Just about ready to bring in Downie for Phillips.

Yes he really got shown up with a little bit of heat. Good depth though.

 

[WWSD]

I would still keep Koschitzke in the team. Let’s see how he works alongside Lewis. By playing Lewis as the number one forward, it means that Koschitzke now gets the second best defender and that might give him a bit more freedom inside 50.

Out : Kozitschke, Day, Hanrahan
In: Lewis, Scrimshaw, Nash

He's working hard - I'm sure the coaches would have seen that. Doesn't mean he won't make way but it's not because of some of the stuff being written i think.

 

[theiaofseed]

Both O'Brien and Koschitzke were disappointing, Lewis need to come in after his "5" Goals today in the VFL.
Philips needs support on the wing, he's average at the best of times but being ran off his feet isn't helping.
I got the Howe call wrong last week, one of the few bodies which stood up to the Richmond pressure.

In: Scrimshaw, Lewis
Out: Day, Koschitzke

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Some of his marking contests and second efforts today were really disappointing.

He has Lewis breathing down his neck.

Kosi just played his second game. O'Brien has almost 80 games under his belt and was thrashed by his opponent today. I would be dropping O'Brien before Koschitzke.

 

[eldorado]

Chad for Dylan Moore or Hanrahan
Lewis for Kosi (or TOB)
Scrimshaw for Day

 

[Hodginator]

I’m going with:

Scrim in for Day.
Chad in for Hanrahan
Cousins into the guts, push JOM to a wing or forward flank. Out Howe.
And maybe Lewis in for Cegs/TOB.

Edit. Maybe a bit harsh on Howe. Not sure who else though. But I do like the idea of Cousins in the midfield to release JOM. Or perhaps Chad coming in helps with that anyway.

 

[TylerDurden]

Phillips is an average kick, but we're not in a position to drop a winger who got 24 touches against this Richmond side.
