Preview Round 5, 2023: Giants v Hawks, Norwood oval, 3:20pm Sunday April 16th

[Hodginator]

The DGB and Cadman announcements are dubiously close together.

Bring him in!

 

[A1fromDay1]

DGB is just named in the squad right?

Would be odd to go from outside the 26 to in the 22 I'd think.

Think it would be more odd if he didn't play now, If Scrimshaw is injured with teams being announced in an hour you'd think just Scrimshaw out and one of the other additions would just take his spot.

So to include DGB this late surely means he's playing

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Press release reads like Scrimshaw is injured.

Scrimshaw was unusually quiet last week and to my eye was labouring under some kind of injury.

I think he is still feeling the effects of his quad strain from start of the year.

 

[TylerDurden]

Put Cadman down for 4.
Ronked.
Amarteyed.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Put Cadman down for 4.
Ronked.
Amarteyed.

Cadman is actually going to be a stat at least though.

Maybe say Thilthorped after he kicked 5 against us on debut.


Magginess and Scrimshaw out for DGB and Seamus would be fun to see.

No he has an ankle injury sustained on Monday.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

No he has an ankle injury sustained on Monday.

Fair enough.

He definitely wasn’t moving well during the game from what I could see.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Wow, excited for this.

Surely Scrim dropped you'd think?

Injured, definitely not dropped.

 

[Arrogant Frog]

Put Cadman down for 4.
Ronked.
Amarteyed.

Add Callum Brown (GWS) to that list. Kicked 4 against us last year. Barely heard of before or since.

 

[Billyc]

Put Cadman down for 4.
Ronked.
Amarteyed.

Great way to build a kid's confidence and sell excitement to the fans - debut against us

 

[Billyc]

You guys wanted bold selections? Well it doesn't get much more bold than the coach naming himself

If only

 

[Newmo89]

Weeee baby Seamus!!!

What a wonderful achievement for the young man. Has battled many an injury but shown incredible perseverance and resilience to get his body right to be able to live out his dream of playing in the AFL.

Big testament to the HPM and medical team for getting him right when all hope was starting to fade.

 

[Jet_black]

Looks like DGB and Mitchell will play.
Lynch to replace Meek
Long to play and Bramble as sub?

Weeee baby Seamus!!!

I don't know why but I'm crying happy tears .
So happy for him.

He's been performing really well at Box Hill.

 

[H00t]

Natural kicking action. Good kick in general

For mine he kicks just as well running at stop speed that he does when kicking normally.

Would surprise me if he took a little to adjust to the top level. But when he does he has all the tools to break lines and play extremely fast, effective footy.

Yep well balanced when kicking it at speed

 

[PT Bar None]

No he has an ankle injury sustained on Monday.

Oh, that's bad luck!

 

[Coach Killer]

Put Cadman down for 4.
Ronked.
Amarteyed.

I doubt he’ll get much of a look in to be honest.

Ned & Nash dominated last week and had 4 kicks between them and 0 marks in 100+ minutes of game time each and 2 of them went to the opposition - they’ve been named as our starting mids.

 

[Coach Killer]

I’m starting to get some slight movement in the nether region. Surely this is a misprint.

 

[A1fromDay1]

Going off the video of Mitch announcing Sheamus's debut looks like Ned Long is in also

 

[Steven Tyler]

Put Cadman down for 4.
Ronked.
Amarteyed.

Thilthorped

 

[Coach Killer]

Seamus & DGB in the side flips the script a tad.

Both sublime kicks and fantastic attack on the ball.

Come on Sammy you legend, give the Long boy a game.

 

[Off The Couch]

I love these moments

 

[Coach Killer]

Likely to experience significant movement in the nether region if true.
