Preview Round 5, 2019: Hawthorn v Geelong, 22 April 2019, 3.20pm @ MCG

[Simon Crawshay]

Will help if he plays 4 quarters in the forward line



It's fair enough to question him, but calling for him to be dropped when he's not only our captain but also his leadership is crucial for the likes of Sicily, Scrimshaw... it's a few steps too far

I don't recall saying he should be dropped. I was just observing that his form has got worse since he took over as captain.
Also some posters were stating that he was still in good form which I found surprising based on the evidence of the first 4 matches.

A classic example of how poor umpiring can determine the result. No ifs, buts or maybes, Hawthorn would’ve won that game if not for that cheating umpire. Ticked every box of the HTB rule so to not pay it was blatant cheating. Before Round 2, it was as furious as I’ve ever been at a game.

Absolutely the umpire didn’t want to pay it in the context of the game because it was 15-20 metres out directly in front, game over.

Been stuck working in Sydney first four rounds. Only caught the first three quarters of crows game at pub; all other games on AFL score updates only. Back in town and will be at the G. I think I’ll be the difference. Hawks by a kick.

Wish that was a thing this year.....

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Hawkins post siren? Erased from memory. I vaguely remember Poppy’s scissor kick on our goal line, that went straight up the other end.

*shudders*

Thanks for sharing.. I had completely forgotten about all that till just now...

Seriously poppy.. ugh

Did anyone else get a PM from a certain Cats fan where they claimed that you were one of their favourite posters. I've literally never seen this guy around the board before. He wished the Hawks the best of lucks so hey. A early troll or a nice guy, I can't tell.

 

[LegendLewis]

Probably wants him to be more of a campaigner, a la pretty much every regular small defender during his tenure

That's a bit obvious now you've said it
Can we turn Miles into a midfielder overnight?






That's a joke joyce!

When in doubt always refer to the Golden Rule.

Handbagger Flogs are campaigners.

I'd say both Lewis and O'Brien being in the extended squad doesn't bode well for Cegs

 

[Roddy]

Happy to see lewis’s Name in the squad list, we need to start giving him some game time in the seniors I reckon.

TOB is named to cover for Stratton.

I suspect Lewis will drop out

 

[WWSD]

The emergencies will probably be O’Brien, Lewis, Mirra and Moore.

 

[Dewnior]

I thought Shiels was right to go

 

[WWSD]

Any news as to whether Schoenmakers and Minchington will play in the VFL this week?

 

[WWSD]

I thought Shiels was right to go

Shiels will be available for selection next week against Carlton and Burgoyne most likely against Melbourne the week after if there are no setbacks.

 

[Kanga Commando]

Any news as to whether Schoenmakers and Minchington will play in the VFL this week?

I heard Burgers wont be far off..

the Tuesday injury report also had Minch available next week.
Nothing on Schoey.
