Good win against essentially a hawks second side

Good good signs.

Chol can ruck

Nothing better beating those friggin hawks and I don't don't give a poo if it's a practice match, love the win.
Grimes was good as were many others.

How many were Hawks missing?

[Lozza]

Good win against a VFL Hawks side, good to see Moore and Townsend busting in and out of packs, think both will make a positive contribution during the season proper. Cotch looks in very good nick as do the usual suspects in Jack, Dusty, Rance and Titch.

The following was confirmed for me today (yes I know its only NAB 2):

1. We are in big trouble if Rance gets injured

2. We are in big trouble if Jack gets injured

3. Chaplin is a liability in any position he plays and if he plays round 1 then Hardwick should hang his head in shame.
