Preview Round 4, 2021: Fremantle v Hawthorn, 11 April 2021, 4.40pm AEST @ Optus Stadium

[Roby]

Yes, but it should happen.

Greaves in for Burgoyne

Cousins for Howe.

Nash for Ceglar. Nash has earned a recall by the sounds of it.

Should we tell Clarkson to find another job, or do you just feel like you need to be on the selection committee?

You should try and think for yourself sometime, you'll find it liberating.

 

[Hawk_francais]

Based on that Cousins and Jeka next up (maybe Bramble too). Finn looks to get a game this year if he keeps improving.

Cousins yes, Bramble would probably need really solid form before a debut, Jeka still at the bottom of the KPF pack, but great to see him dominate.

Looks like Finn is getting the full S.Mitchell apprenticeship which is great. Just has to jump all hurdles and he’ll be in for the second half of the year I’d imagine. Being groomed to compete with Howe for that tagger/wing/defensive mid spot by the looks of it.

 

[Tuck In]

I'd go for this game:
Dimma Hartigan Impey
Scrim Frost CJ
Phillips Cousins Morrison
Nash Lewis Breust
Brockman Kosi Wingard
McEvoy O'meara Mitchell

Moore O'Brien Shiels Howe
Sub: Greaves or Downie

 

[Roby]

One of the easiest wins this year coming up.

I'd be more surprised to win in Perth this week than had we won against Geelong.

 

[Roby]

Lol. It's probably one of my faults. Just ask anyone here.

 

[cogs2hawks]

In: TOB and Nash
Out: Cegs and Silk

Scrim Hartigan Hardwick
CJ Frost Jars
Phillips Titch Morrison
Punky TOB Chad
Brockman Lewis Kosi
Big Boy JOM Pup
Worps Howe Moore Nash
Sub: Hanrahan

 

[Charchi]

What I would like to see is:
-Hardwick to on ball rotations, mature body, tough and good user;
-Greaves (in place of Hanrahan) down back to look after small forward;
-O’Brien (in place of Cegs) to centre square ruck, because he can jump, then BB around the ground;
-Cousins in place of Howe

 

[Roby]

I think Clarko doesn't want to make many changes. Possibly Burgoyne in Cousins for the travel. Maybe Jeka for Kosi.

 

[cryptor]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see us spare McEvoy and Burgoyne a trip to Perth.

 

[Pessimistic]

Gonna be controvertial and suggest no change

 

[Bugs1977]

Fyfe is back apparently. This won't be easy.

It will just mean more if we beat them

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

I'd be more surprised to win in Perth this week than had we won against Geelong.

I was thinking we had a pretty good record at Optus

 

[Hodginator]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see us spare McEvoy and Burgoyne a trip to Perth.

Surely we don’t rest our newly appointed captain after 3 games just so he doesn’t have to get on a flight for 3 hours.

 

[Mrzohs]

No need for heaps of change although i would like to see Greaves in the team to get some ball user's from the defence freed up.
note you could also put Howe down back and achieve this and putting in a more attacking Winger Like a Jom,Downie.

Maybe changes Tob - Cegs. Silk - Cousins in.

Fb:Frost, Hartigan, Hardwick
HB:Scrimshaw, CJ , Impey
C:Morrison, Wingard, Jom
HF:Shiels, Lewis , Bruest
FF:Brockman, Tob, Moore
R Mcevoy, Tom, Cousins.
B:Worpel,Phillips,Howe,Kosi
Sub Greaves.

The Guys in Bold are the players i wan't around the outside of the contest as much as possible Complimenting Tom,Shiels,Worpel,Cousins.

 

[satadaynitefeva]

We kicked 4 whole goals against them over there last year.
Yuk

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Forecast for lots of rain Sunday/Monday in Perth. Nash for Cegs would make sense. Unlike me Clarko seems to love Howe so he probably stays. So disappointed Downie hasn’t had a proper debut yet. Greaves and Cuz must be close to selection.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Huh? That's not what I meant at all. Just asking what POD means, FFS.

And came up with a disparaging attack.
No other words came to mind?
FFS.
what does that stand for?
Frequently failed school.

Nice to know we have set a low benchmark, surely we double that score at least

 

[CHUBBSS]

Weird, I thought he tested well in the time trials

Just going off what I’ve seen in games, he might be overrunning though

 

[On Topic]

I guess a game of AFL is very different to time trials so I could also be extrapolating his fitness a bit haha

pod= point of difference

 

[Davo-27]

OUT: Howe, Burgoyne, Kosi
IN: Downie/Cousins?, Greaves, TOB/Jeka?

plenty of options.

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Rest Burgoyne and play one ruck. Lose Cegs or rest BB. Bring in Bramble and Greaves. The club and Clarkson have identified our bad ball usage, time to do something about it.

 

[Hawkpower]

No change, unless we're dropping another runner & bringing in a 3rd Ruckman

Couisins was very good in the first preseason game, missed the second game, should of been in the seniors in Rd 1. Don’t know how Howe jumped ahead Couisins in the Queue, like in a previous thread, take Couisins ahead of Howe any day of the week

However needs to go see his Cousins and don't come back,while Cousins comes to play and not to shame!!!
