[jenniferHAWKinS]

Lewis (should not have played ahead of Patton), Scrimshaw and Shiels all unlikely. O’Brien would have to be the luckiest footballer alive to get a game this week.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Puopolo out, the late kick out on full sum his game up

 

[Slysh]

I really hope Scrimshaw is okay... I would honestly half consider giving him votes tonight despite only playing half the game. So clean overhead and such a good kick.

 

[Rudi Gilham]

I'll probably be shot down here, but what about Tom Scully having a rest? 12 possessions against the Tigers, 10 touches against North and 11 tonight. Doesn't get enough footy or tackle hard enough.

 

[Hodginator]

I really hope Scrimshaw is okay... I would honestly half consider giving him votes tonight despite only playing half the game. So clean overhead and such a good kick.

Yeap, was one of the few positives until he went down.

What is it? An ankle?

 

[Hawthorn23]

If we persist with 2 rucks, please play McEvoy in the forward line. Gives us a consistent threat with his contested marking.

TOB has been alright this year, but I’d personally drop him. Just not dangerous enough unfortunately.

Lewis will be out with the hammy, so Patton to come in and replace him.

And hopefully the F50 can be something like this.

HF: Burgoyne, Patton, Gunston
F: Puopolo, McEvoy, Wingard

I don’t think this is necessarily the answer, but I think it’s the most ideal set up going forward. Knowing Clarko, he will err on the conservative side of things and there won’t be major changes

 

[Slysh]

Yeap, was one of the few positives until he went down.

What is it? An ankle?

Yeah ankle, they strapped it and he tried to go back on but no good. Hopefully at most a couple weeks.

 

[Slysh]

I'll probably be shot down here, but what about Tom Scully having a rest? 12 possessions against the Tigers, 10 touches against North and 11 tonight. Doesn't get enough footy or tackle hard enough.

I have been a big defender but he needs to do more problem is Hendo is playing just as poorly and we lack run at the moment. Can't really afford to drop them

 

[cryptor]

Lewis definitely out injured. But I’m worried about Patton’s knee on that ground. The surface is like a huge layer of cotton wool that was getting shredded up by players daring to run on it.

Not sure we have any other option but to play him though. So fingers crossed.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Time for Cousins to come in, but not for Jones

 

[WireHawk]

I would love to see Jiath and Nash in the side. I know they have been injured
so their fitness might not be great, but as soon as they are ready they must
come in. They are young and athletic. Maginness as well.

Puopolo ,O'Brien & Henderson are done.

 

[Pessimistic]

9th v 10th. Was third on wednesday

 

[VandoHawk]

O’Brien & Poppy are going to be very lucky we had a handful of injuries or else they wouldn’t be in the side. We’ll likely need to make three changes for Lewis, Scrimshaw and Sheils.

 

[WWSD]

Ceglar vs Grundy

 

[Bugs1977]

Shite if Cegs starts in the ruck next week Brodie Grundy will need to buy shares in some chapstick the way he’ll be licking his lips.

 

[WWSD]

McEvoy simply has to go back into the ruck. The two ruck setup doesn’t work anymore. We are lacking another inside midfield rotation. Not to mention we need more speed around the ground.

 

[theiaofseed]

IN: Patton, Finn, Moore, Morrison

Out: Lewis, Ceglar, O'Brien, Scrimshaw

McEvoy needs to ruck.

 

[Slysh]

Time for Cousins to come in, but not for Jones

Not sure another 1 paced mid that is an average kick is what we need.

 

[VandoHawk]

I’m happy for Ceglar to ruck if McEvoy plays deep forward and provides occasional support. He looked our most dangerous contested mark.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

A

IN: Patton, Finn, Moore, Morrison

Out: Lewis, Ceglar, O'Brien, Scrimshaw

McEvoy needs to ruck.

Agree that we are too top heavy

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Not sure another 1 paced mid that is an average kick is what we need.

I would play him forward at least he can kick a goal and does has a go, if not The Finn should come in

 

[Hawk_francais]

Some selection questions to be pondered. Patton will come in for Lewis, hopefully Scrimshaw and Shiels get up, but I'm not sure who is at the hub to come in if not.

I can picture perhaps two changes with neither of Puopolo nor O'Brien really mounting strong case for their continued selection. Unlike most here though, I thought TOB was serviceable last week, and so he may be given the green light for redemption. We just got humiliated by the Giants' defence, and the Pies' is the best there is.
