Preview Round 4, 2022: Hawks v Saints , MCG 3:20pm Sunday 10th April

[Strapping Young Lad]

Changes and all that in here.

Scrimshaw probably misses, although I’m not sure of the severity of his back issue.

Who comes in?

 

[theiaofseed]

Philips tearing up the VFL today strong chance to come in
Impey needs another week.
Morris could come in for Scrimshaw?

In: Philips, Lynch
Out: Scrimshaw

Lynch needs to come in to help Reeves out, Reeves hardly managed 60% TOG.

 

[spudmaster]

Saints going to get the points over the Tigers in a few minutes.

Glad we get a home game - hopefully a good showing given our form to start the year.

 

[Brant]

Pretty sure Frost can nullify King + Membrey, allowing us to run with an extra midfielder.

 

[The hands of stone]

King tearing Richmond apart , decent test again for us .

They do run hard forward of the ball , might suit our attack from half back .

 

[detox]

In: Phillips, Long
Out: Scrim, Howe

Mcguiness sub.

 

[WWSD]

IN: Impey, Phillips

OUT: Scrimshaw (Injured), Maginness (omitted)


B: Hardwick, Frost, Jiath

HB: Day, Grainger-Barras, Sicily

C: Morrison, Mitchell, Phillips

HF: Wingard, Gunston, Impey

F: Breust, Lewis, Moore

R: Reeves, O’Meara, Worpel

INT: MacDonald, Ward, Nash, Newcombe, Long (Sub)

 

[WWSD]

Long: 19 disposals - 3 marks - 11 tackles - 4 inside 50s

Getting closer to a debut.

 

[detox]

Long: 19 disposals - 3 marks - 11 tackles - 4 inside 50s

Getting closer to a debut.

He cant show any less than Finn

 

[CHUBBSS]

Long: 19 disposals - 3 marks - 11 tackles - 4 inside 50s

Getting closer to a debut.

11 tackles is what gets you into the 1s, his getting better week by week

 

[WWSD]

He cant show any less than Finn

They’re not fighting for the same spot though. With Impey and Bramble edging closer to a return, Maginness will find it tough given he’s playing in a position in which we have strong depth. Long would be fighting for a spot as an inside midfielder.

 

[thehardway]

Marshall and Ryder are a formidable combination so Lynch to come in if OK. Long ready to debut. In Lynch Long Out Scrimshaw Maginness

 

[H00t]

Should fair a lot better in the middle against the saints. Being semi competitive will help our forwards.

Saints have some good marking targets but given how poor some of saints disposal is we should be able to limit their damage as long as we don’t let the saints get too many inside 50’s.

I’m hoping to see some improved disposal after the blues game.

 

[detox]

Move ward outside and Long in.

There's plenty of options, but whatever role Finn is playing just isn't working.

Barely touches it, gets caught multiple times a game. He's a non contributor

 

[lethalselbow]

Ryder and Marshall is a bit for Reeves to handle in the ruck. Reeves + Nash is a big ask vs those guys. Maybe Lynch in OR one of Kosi / Callow to add an extra chop out in ruck.

 

[Manila_Hawk]

I didn't want to be the elephant in the room... but....

...surely Finn doesn't get another game anytime soon...

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Impey a chance, Phillips aswell even Shiels (move Harry or Finn down back if Finn doesn't go out.)

Scrim out.

Lynch a chance and probably needed with the tall Saints?

 

[CHUBBSS]

Lynch comes back in, Phillips and long potentially to - that would leave maginess, howe and scrimshaw

 

[SSSSSS]

Don't like dropping players after a game but Howe is completely killing our fast ball movement. Playing to a different tune.

Finn is not quite ready for mine. Would prefer him getting some serious midfield minutes at BHH.

 

[hawkman]

Think Lynch has to come back if fit, we haven't done well in the middle with Reeves rucking. Lynch's bigger body may assist us to not get smashed in there

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Think Lynch has to come back if fit, we haven't done well in the middle with Reeves rucking. Lynch's bigger body may assist us to not get smashed in there

Reeves was fine. A stagnant midfield group was a bigger issue

 

[user33]

If it’s good enough to drop Shiels, then we should definitely be dropping JOM. It’s a huge concern when 3rd gamers are already outperforming you.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Lynch if recovered comes in, might Morris also come in to cover Scrim.

Finn probably goes out, works his ass off but just hasn't quite got his disposal and positioning down just yet.

 

[hawkman]

Reeves was fine. A stagnant midfield group was a bigger issue

Reeves has been a constant with our issues every week in the centre. Last week there was a stat on here on centre clearances where with Reeves it was 3-12 with McEvoy 5-6. Another belting in there today.
Lynch is more the McEvoy type who would do better on Marshall while Reeves will do better on Ryder

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

I wouldn’t be against dropping Wingard. Other than a decent 5mins against north, a reasonable first half against Port, he’s really been average. Offered very little today. If it’s standards we’re driving, then maybe dropping him sends a message to all.

But really it’s scrimshaw, Howe and probably Maguiness out, Phillips, Lynch (if fit) in.

Happy for Long too. Let’s keep trying the kids

Shame for Maguiness, but he struggled today.
