Preview Round 7, 2019: Melbourne v Hawthorn, 4 May 2019, 1.45pm @ MCG

[Easy Slips Catch]

Nash must play. If he does not, with the BHH bye, it would mean he will not have had a kick in a month.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Well pre the Beckham trade.

Notice I excluded the Knicks

The only way is UP!

That game was infuriating because we had them on toast, but the loss of JOM, Stratton and the injury to Tom just couldn't have come at a worse time.

They were absolute shite but we were more shite that night. Was good seeing them get smashed in the prelim because I hated being beaten by a shit team in a final

Man - their kicking was woeful against us. So not prelim material. Time to bury their season I say

 

[CD Xbow]

Melbourne do worry me from the POV that they could potentially wake up and start playing that quality football again. No doubt it will happen at some point. I just hope it doesn't happen this week.

Possible, but I don't think the Hawks will start so slackly again. Bit of a hangover after playing Geelong, I think fans have underestimated that performance a bit, Gelongs evisceration of last week of the Eagles puts the performance in truer perspective.

Their ears are still ringing from Clarko’s half time bake too probably

So easily could have been 5-2, arguably 6-1. Please bring the best hawthorn out to play on saturday.

Won’t surprise me if they do - a game we should win but really should have beaten the saint, bulldogs also and look what happened there

But I will be there cheering the hawks on to hopefully a good solid win

He's hardly had a kick in 2 months?

If that’s true is it possible we fast track kosi?

I’d like to see that personally

Even though it’s unlikely to happen one other option would be Nash to centre half back.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Who said brand was injured?

 

[Mojo]

Hasn't Kosi only played the 1-2 Box Hill games?

Bupa says no.

Yep, he had an interrupted pre-season. Would have thought he was a month of BHH footy at least before even being match fit for AFL, but body is surely at least another pre-season away?

Expect we will go TO and Mirra and McEvoy will be asked to drop back at times. Maybe we bring in two rucks to keep Gawn busy and drop one back behind the ball, when the one playing up forward is rucking against Gawn.

Could line up:

HB: Impey - Mirra - Sicily
FB: Hardwick - O'Brien - Stratton

I'd say it's pretty rare for a key position backman to play in their first season... I can't think of one?

Must be 200% fit then, BUPA always spot on

 

[RoughandLove]

Bupa says no.

Will be confirmed tomorrow.

RoughandLove has good mail.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Mirra and Silk back this week I'd be tipping.
