Preview Round 3, 2024: Hawthorn v Geelong, 1st April 3:20pm MCG

[SSSSSS]

Who are 'Sam's favourites'?

It just seems this narrative begins and ends on Big Footy.

I don't know myself.

Apparently Finn, Reeves and Nash?

 

[theiaofseed]

Yeah but having a player who can only hard tag coming on late is even a better idea....

It's not like we trying to invest into the future or anything

Finn one of the fittest players in the AFL was used as a sub in round 1 on a hot day when every player would cramp, how people think it's a bad sub decision is beyond me.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I don't know myself.

Apparently Finn, Reeves and Nash?

They couldn't possibly be selected on merit, with purpose.

 

[H00t]

He's 203cm tall, that doesn't seem that undersized.

I think his main issue is a lack of mongrel at times.

203cm is on the short side for a ruckman especially one who can’t jump very well. I do agree his lack of mongrel also gets him in trouble as he struggles to use his weight advantage against the more agile rucks.

Sean Darcy is the same height but makes it work by using his strength.

 

[DogDaySonny]

Finn wasn't brought on to hard tag, as Sam clearly wanted to give Finn the opportunity to provide some run(which he did) and make a go of another role in the side. It didn't really impact at all, which happens.

Doesn't make Finn a favourite.

It's much easier to be negative around here if you let the straw man arguments that Sam is unable to coach in every respect go unchallenged.

Box Hill provisional squad is released at 5pm. Expect to see a couple of the boys from Seniors last week named in it.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[TylerDurden]

Conway is playing. Scott playing funny buggers as usual.

 

[Newmo89]

Guess when Beatitudes is named to start on Monday ahead of Ned that we'll see him using his frame and tank to push Conway out of his comfort zone.

 

[barbster]

I’d be happy for Meek to get a game this week, as Reeves has been average over the last two weekends, especially with his around the ground work and dropped marks. It’ll hopefully instil in him that he must work harder if he wants to be the club’s number 1 ruck.

Expect to see Phillips playing for Box Hill tomorrow at GMHBA Stadium.

I have it on good authority that it’s “Cherry Ripe”, followed by “Twirl”. Turkish Delight a distant last.

Hopefully Old Gold and Boost are pushing for a spot on the podium

Moro for the win.

I believe that Boost is favoured at Tullamarine. Good call on Old Gold though.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Changes aplenty.

 

[ahhhhhh]

There you go. Meek in for Reeves.

Good call by the selection panel.

 

[onthemoney]

Good to see BH form getting rewarded. Reality is that we need to get exposure for as many on the list this year and see how they stack up at the top level.

 

[TylerDurden]

So Ramsden or Morrison as the last man in.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

So Ramsden or Morrison as the last man in.

Could be both if Ginni is out with illness

 

[Billyc]

I would be comfortable with Hustwaite, Meek and Morrison in for Gunston Finn and Reeves if that’s how they go. Those three deserve to be dropped, at the very least

Just so long as we get the chocolates on Monday I’ll be happy.

 

[theiaofseed]

In: Meek, Hustwaite, Morrison, Ramma the Emergency.

Wonder who gets the sub vest.
