I cant help but think jom will be a late out. I think its just the pessimist in me after our slow start this year... i hope.

Leg speed is my main concern as Saints have plenty of it. I'm sure Clarko has a plan but their pace will be an issue. But... I am quietly confident for whatever reason.
GO HAWKERS!!

Our lack of pace might not be an issue if we dominate time in possession and get the uncontested game style going like last week. My worry with the Saints is their inside midfielders. They've got good depth in that part of the ground.

7 missing from the team that last played St Kilda. Four of them scored points in the Yabby medal.

Time for the youth to step up.

Genuine question: how come everyone says the Hawks lack leg pace and team x (the saints in this case) have it in abundance? Where's the actual evidence?

BUT only won by.....3 points


(Would love a big win but would almost equally enjoy a 3 point victory with a quasi dubious late umpiring decision)

I'm just basing my opinion on what I've heard anecdotally and the fact they just look quicker.
I'm more than happy to be wrong on this one.

I wonder if some of this perception comes from the fact that we tend to move the ball by foot rather than handball and running forward with the ball (relative to most teams). Players look fast when they are running, versus stationary and kicking, but the actual ball movement isn't any quicker (quite the contrary).

Hi guys, I'm going to the game tomorrow and have never been to Launceston before. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a grass hill there to sit/stand on?
Good luck for the game!

Best chance is near the North east pocket...

Hi All,

What's up with Ricky Henderson? I was keen for the Pies to have a crack at him when he became available. Injured? Rested or just not meeting expectations?

Was a solid contributor in the first 4 games but had been relegated to allow some of our younger players like Hartung, Howe and Hardwick to get games.

Was decent without being great but once we lost four games it was time to blood the youngsters. If we get injuries he will be back but only missin Rioli and Birchall from best 22 (and ceglar).

Wow.

I didn't realise our record was 1 loss in our last 27 games at the place.

Should be even more incentive for the boys to try get up on the weekend to keep that record intact.

Butchered the ball on the full there

No, there is no grass hill to watch the footy from. There are a couple of standing room areas, but they are gravel/concrete.

Anyone know who the travelling emergency was? I think Henderson stayed in Melbourne, did Stewart and Vickery fly down?

I think there's a chance one of Smith, Sicily or poppy not getting up after knocks last week.
