Preview Round 7, 2021: Saints v Hawks, at Marvel, Sat 1st May @ 4:35pm

Really disappointed with the forced outs. My biggest concern is that our often questionable delivery into our F50 is probably not going to get any better, nor is our contested possession. We have to be mindful of this if our forward line struggles. Bringing in Gunners & Jeka for Jaeger & Chad is a bit like robbing Peter to pay Paul. Midfield depth is shot.

Gunners will play wing, so essentially a mid.

One would assume we are going to run a fair few guys through the midfield and one no one has mentioned yet is CJ. Would mind seeing him have a 5 or so minute burst to see how he goes.

I am salivating at the picture of CJ bolting out of the centre circle and snapping it full tilt , laces out to Kozi, Lewis, Jeka, Moore, Gunston and Bruest ! Instant six goals .

 

[Linda CRS]

I hope Downie starts carving them up in the VFL, I can’t wait to see his raking left foot in action for the seniors.

Almost certain that both Gunston and O'Brien don't play forward, or don't play exclusively forward given our outs.

yes sounds right and I wouldn’t discount Hartley playing either.

 

[kenneje]

It would be ******* hilarious if O’Brien, Jeka, Nash, Lewis and Kozi all play forward tomorrow and we decide NOT to bomb it in aimlessly for the first time in about a decade.

 

[threesixpio]

I’m tipping a win

and a big one too

Isn’t Nash an emergency? I doubt he plays given how tall the lineup already is.

That's the spirit. Hawks by 10.
Looking in the tea leaves I see a tall young man playing for Hawthorn snagging 5, can't make out his number....

 

[Roby]

This.

At the time of sharing it’s what I’ve been told. It may change between when I’m told and when the official team is announced.

I recall there was a time last season where Gunston was initially in but then didn’t quite come up so I let you guys know that he was out too prior to the official team announcements.

Couldn’t care less about the 1/100 dropkicks that post on here and discredit my info. Really like this board tbh, a lot better than almost all the other clubs.

I knew your info was fine when you named Jeka. The decision was made on Saturday last week.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Carlisle dropped anyway.

Some other useless log

Appreciate you sticking your neck out and offering what you know. We used to have a lot more ITKs in these parts but many don’t post as much after getting PM’d abuse every off season when a trade or FA doesn’t eventuate.

 

[Hawk_francais]

LOL this guys never wrong is he..LOL
ONLY had 49 posts & his always on the money...
Like I've said coming here you lose more brain cells than a night on the sauce!
Oh is this how it works here?

I hear Kosi is going to need a rest.
Mitch is a lil iffy too.

Well, you look like a complete idiot now.

This will be the youngest Hawthorn team under Clarkson this year.

23 and under
Morrison 22
Lewis 22
Worpel 22
Hanrahan 22
Scrimshaw 22
Cousins 23
Jiath 21
Maginness 20
Koschitzke 20
Moore 21
Jeka 19

Apparently were old and play no youth.

Our 2 best players all year out.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this was both the youngest and least experienced side we’ve fielded in the last 15 years.

Agree. Managing both players for this game makes no sense. Maybe one. Better planning required. Saints are vulnerable and this is a winnable game.

Jeka, Gunston in here comes the Buddy’s box Tactic with Jeka,Kosi,Lewis and Gunston about time.

Eyas

This will be the first game I’m attending this year and hoping it’s one of many where I get to yell E JEKA LATION.

Err ok, nothing creepy about that!

 

[SA HAWK]

Expecting a loss tbh.

Hoping we are at least competitive.

 

[Kuuz]

I just can't wait until Jeka takes some form of screamer. He's got a great surname for commentary:

"JEEEEEKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Where's Flaco?

Given Clarko has generally done every thing not to tank or play the kids over the past few years reckon the best explanation is simply chad and JOM are sore and don’t want to risk them on a hard deck with their injury histories.

Well said. Completely disagree with any talk of us ‘tanking’ and just not the way Clarko operates. The two big outs either really need the week, or Hawks medico’s hiding some bigger injury news, we have all been frustrated with lack of transparency in the weekly medical video before..

That being said, we are seeing Finn get a proper crack and Jeka debut! Hawks in a close one for mine!!

I really wish Nash well and he is obviously a very handy VFL player but I think he is the very definition of “Emergency”

 

[MitchHomieQuan]

Ehhhh, we win this. Grats Jeka on debut!

It means they were probably both bruised and sore AF, with a 6 day turnaround, and playing on the hard Marvel surface. It would not have been planned for both of them to need their bodies managed at the same time.
