Preview Round 3, 2022: Blues v Hawks, 1:10pm Sunday 3rd April, MCG

[Agent Smith]

 

[CHUBBSS]

Chad's fine.

Quietly starting to put together some
Good form, hope he stays on the park all year

 

[matey]

Most importantly for BB and his fam he is ok. Could be a big career changing moment for Nash ……… could be our Mr Wolf!

[CHUBBSS]

I can’t remember the last game I looked forward to as much as this one, been a few years but very keen for Sunday.

A little bit of rain and we may have an absolute classic day at the g

 

[Burtman]

De Koning is going to be a handful. Don’t think we have a good match up for this kid.

Tdk is a hype player atm, looks flashy and amazing but hasn’t kicked a goal this year, average 7 touches, 2 marks and 10 hit outs a game. I’m much more worried about McKay as we generally get torched by by the big strong forwards

 

[Randy Campbell]

[Turly]

Did it come from the bump?

Kosi got him in the neck during a boxing drill.

 

[Fleabane]

Incase some are confused this was a hawthorn v carlton discussion thread which now has turned into a height and weight topic

I was just thinking it was a little different to the Carlton board's version.

[Dewyyyyy]

Why are people saying things regarding Chad being a late out?

From what i know, trained fully and unless he wakes up Sunday morning tight in the hammy, he'll play.

Got any footage?

Got any footage?

From Sam's presser he said that Wingard trained earlier in the week and would train that day, if he got through training he'd play.

I prefer the midfield version of Wingard, but the FP is pretty handy as well.

He's probs missed too much pre-season to play midfield any time soon so resting him a week won't help.

If he's fit, I'd rather him play deep forward & hope he snags his 2* & puts on some forward pressure.


*is snagging 6+ too much to ask?

Agreed. It’s amazing how the quicker ball movement immediately makes a difference to his performance.

2 goals average per game and him not looking anywhere near his best yet is a good sign that better things will come for Chad.

 

[RX Hawk]

Looks like Reeves shoulders the ruck solo for this week at least- do we have anyone else to pinch hit until Lynch returns??

Nash. He did well last week.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Nash. He did well last week.

And the week before, relieved Reeves in each match.

 

[chopflop]

CJ to roam the kick out drop zone?

I think it will have to be Lewis or Reeves or both. With Lewis then working back hard into the fifty. Gunston to stay at home more is my bet

 

[threesixpio]

Kosi got him in the neck during a boxing drill.

Seriously?

 

[threesixpio]

I still think it’s a good team. No BB means less link up marking which puts pressure on other talls to clunk. I would have brought in another tall like Callow and drop Finn for Day personally but that’s me

In fairness, mcevoy didn't do much last week, it was the other players that stood up

It’s all about fantastic users of the ball with this line up. Just hope we get the ball with bad clearance stats and one less clunking connector

 

[Gaborone]

More important than team selection this weekend is the need for a cheer squad banner that simply says: 'SORRY!'

He's underdone isn't he - outside of a couple of quarters in the opening games he's been underwhelming IMO. But he's Chad, assume he'll come good at some point.

 

[Turly]

Seriously?

No definitely not!

Didnt Kosi knock our Lewis during a boxing session at some point? Poor attempt at lame humour
