So will a squad be announced for tomorrows match sim or is every player participating? I see it's 4x25min quarters then 2X20min periods.

Absolutely we can swap 3x Norm Smith medal winner and 500 goal kicker Comben for a stout balding shitmen.

Cannot believe how the Hawk fans have turned on him

Hawthorn fans are just a different breed. Unlike other club supporters who go around wafting their own farts with nothing to back it up, hawks fans are so accustomed to getting a new flag every 5-6 years of their life that anything short of this gets them into spasms.

I kid you not a hawks fans I know in 2016-17 was already doing gallows humour about being shit. Richmond 00s style. That's after coming off a ****ing threepeat, 12 months later they're taking the piss on their own club.

Another one commented that them losing a GF in 1987 made it more interesting because it "had been getting a bit boring".

Bit boring.

Winning premierships was getting a bit boring.

Clarkson's 2016-21 not netting a premiership had their supporters viewing him like their version of ~~David Noble~~ Mark Neeld.

Yes! This is exactly what I've observed.

They're like a reverse Carlton.

Add Cunnington into the middle and it changes the whole side

Add a brand new WiPhi, and fitter Powell and Curtis. We now have the beginnings of a great football side.

out; Goldy & Simpkin both rested. Nothing to concern ourselves with, plus then any other listed injured player.

WTF - you dont have your own office, and put your feet on the desk?

I'm working tomorrow , will make some toasted sangers and a coffee in my office and kick back.

The acurate one · Feb 23, 2023

For mine all eyes on CCJ/ Xerri in the ruck

Phillips, Powell, Comben, Sheezel, Logue.
Cunners is raring to go fyi

Moneyball is the idea of recruiting players who have more actual value compared to what others think. I feel like most of these players are valued correctly as of right now.

Ok so we had data based recruitment officers working for the last few years. Looking at stats from u18 performance metrics, covid interupted i get. We were not looking at over age players, going to young talent. I would say some of our draft picks, Powell, Phillips etc were data based and i think we nailed those picks. A small kid and a skinny kid without the silk at the time but hell they can get the ball, and actually they do have silk now. Powell omg. Moneyball is not just going for the flashy stand out look at the skills players in the draft. LDU was one of those and that was just a forturnate pick as I had him number 1 pick not 4. To me moneyball is getting the guts players who will not be a highlight real, Thomas, Shez. Love them both we had to pick them, but the pecentage players who will just make the slight dif between losing and winning. My point is maybe had GWS and GC had not just gone with the flash players maybe they would have won the flags that really they should have. And maybe as much as I think JHF will be a gun, it's possible that his leaving will be in future reflacted upon as a positive. I am as guilty as anyone going overboad on one player being the saviour, the Carey effect. But it's a delusion .

Well played Micky, still it's weird someone from your office sits next to you

Richmond’s outs: Shai Bolton, Tom Lynch, Jack Graham, Jason Castagna, Josh Gibcus, Liam Baker, Marlion Pickett, Nathan Broad

year of the roo · Feb 23, 2023

So no Mahony, Wardlaw, Cunners, Simkpin, Tucker, Thomas, Greenwood, Goldy, Archer, Howe. Interesting.

Why are like half of those names out? North injury crisis #4879

Oh well as TAO would say.

Reginald0 · Feb 23, 2023

Junior Archer
?
Is he injured?

The article North media put out said Simpkin, Goldy and Cunners are being rested. Mahony, Warlord and Tucker injured. No mention of Greenwood, Arch or Howe.

Injured - Mahony, Archer, George, Wardlaw
Not quite ready - Tucker, Howe
Would be playing if round 1 - Simpkin, Goldy, Cunners, Greenwood

Then Thomas.

That's my read.

how long is that injury usually?

Yeo_Check_Out_ma_Flow · Feb 23, 2023

Pardon the intrusion everyone, I come in peace etc etc.

Hamish Free...is he likely to get a game at any point this season or languish in the VFL as depth?

Also wondering about Will Phillips...has he earned a midfield spot?

Cheers folks

Hamish - probably not.

Will - quite possibly, it’s still wait and see. As long as he’s injury free I’m sure he’ll get games for a good chunk of the season
