Grimes in for McGuane
-
Willy T = GWS?
Would take a 3rd rounder compo a la Josh Fraser.

I hope I am wrong but appear way too short in the backline. Very inexperienced backline. Connors on Franklin- No way.
-
Could be a masterstroke if the heavens open, a disaster if not
-
No disrespect to Astbury and Grimes, but at this stage of their development they would struggle to hold Roughead and Hale alone. If Channel 10 are just scare-mongering, and Franklin is fit to play too, then we're screwed.
With Willy T not even named as an emergency as a contingency should Buddy come up, I just can't understand what the club is thinking.
-
We were always going to be small down back, unless Thursfield came in as well. Connors on Franklin......not such a bad idea actually, he has the aerobic capabilities to go with him, great leap, good strength, not a bad call actually...if it happens.
-
that's just the way the lineup looks somehow when it comes out. last week they listed connors at CHB on the teamsheet as well. and surprise surprise, he didnt' play CHB.

i think you have been stuck in those mines for too long.
Connors is slow and thats being generous. Buddy will murder him.
Absolutely no way should and will line up on him.
I will like to see us try and win this not attempt things like this or Conca on Burgoyne.
-
Backline worries me massively. We need to dominate the midfield or we're gonna be in for a fingering.
Thursty HAS to be a subsitute, so at least we can sub him on if Asty or Grimesy are getting monstered.
-
Eff. We are going to get reemed.
-
I remember a game in 2003 I think when we were getting smashed by the hawks by 50 odd points until our midfield, led by Cogs, got ontop at half time & smashed them them to record our greatest comeback ever. :gotigers :clapping :clapping :clapping
love to see that again
-
Yep we'll be very inexperienced down back and may get exposed badly if the Hawks get more than their fair share of the footy in the midfield, but it's probably the most individually skillful backline player by player we've had in a long long time.
The other area of concern is the ruck. Basically it's Gus against both Renouf and Hale.
Tactically it looks like we'll try the same thing as last week. Try to match or better the Hawks in contested footy so we get the ball forward as much as they do, then stay with them until half-time and with runners on the bench try to run them off their feet in the second half.

13 goals in a row wasn't it? :thumbsup
All thanks to Stafford elbowing Everitt in the ruck contest ;D.
Willy T = GWS?

The problem with that though is no one not even the Suns wanted Will last draft so he's trade value is practically zero :-\.

Well not really stuck Daniel and I still enjoy it but thanks for your observation... :thumbsup
Thats fine you obviously see more football than me and that in turn would make you more qualified to comment on a forum.. ;)
I honestly thought he provided quite a bit of run out of the backline and from what I have seen he can break the lines.
But as I said "IF IT HAPPENS"!!!!
-
Agree totally with Daniel and Willy.
-
[The problem with that though is no one not even the Suns wanted Will last draft so he's trade value is practically zero :-\.
Maybe so. But I'd take Thursfield over Carmichael Hunt a thousand times :lol

After seeing the Suns get smashed, GWS might grab a few more mature aged players this time around?? :pray
-
Suck it up. Playing kids with a future instead of dead end depth players. Most of you have been calling for it for years then when the club does it your balls retreat up your backsides because you think we might cop a belting. :lol
Same posters that bleat on about players having to earn games too - did Thursfield tear it up in the two's last week did he? LMAO

My thoughts exactly, and more 'average' players like Will rather than 6-7 higher profile players.

Can I borrow some tongs? ;D

I would've brought in Thursty/Gourdis in addition to Grimes.

Let's keep on topic ppl! A reminder also to leave off references to other sites/mods.

no but neither did Edwards
Im all for grimes and Gourdis just wanted to see Edwards out to make way for Thursfield.
He has been rewarded for mediocrity both the last 2 weeks and in the pre season.
But as u said Thursfield from what i hear played crap at Coburg so we cant reward him either. I get the feeling they are going to tear us a new one Saturday if we are not on

BUDDY OUT!!!!
Good move in the end not bringing Thursfield now.
No excuses we can and should get close to the Hawks.

HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson has declared star forward Lance Franklin a certain starter against Richmond tomorrow night.
Although Franklin completed only stationary ball drills at Waverley this morning, Clarkson denied rumours his goalkicking ace was suffering an ankle injury.
"Someone has seen something I didn't see. We're expecting he's going to play," Clarkson said.
"There was no incident at training. We've got a six-day break, he's just had a lighter week."
