On form every side, even probably west coasts seconds beat west coast.
Truly an awful football team. Be interesting to see who McQualter drops.
If he has any kids that need a game they should get one this week.
Having only just had a bye ourselves I can’t see any player pulling up sore from gather round and needing a rest.
Only changes forced.
Excellent point. Playing 2MP against the Water Closet is equivalent to playing him in the VFL.
2M will kick 5 goals with that Wet Toast defence. Collingwood on the other hand could run off and create.
Will have to bring him in this week for sure.

If he’s on the move. Rowell is the best talent available.
If I were the hawks he would be my target.
I think Harley will cost more on his potential. When Rowell is delivering in spades.
Rowell is the guy you want if you’re contending now. Arguably Hawthorn are, but so are the Gold Coast.
Last week your specialist nous gave us this one…
They were BOG’s
Another three pls James 
Ah, “The Kelly Role”.
I wouldn’t persevere with Prior at all. He’s not up to the standard required of a player in a top 4 club and he never will be, so play someone else who might get to that standard.
Only bang average players need apply
Contending. I’m considering what happened over this weekend. Hawks got owned by Port.
That’s why I would consider talking about contending once these teams are comfortably in the 8.
I’m not sure I’m up to it. 40 odd years ago maybe.
Yeah they will give it serious consideration you’d think
I don’t think it’d be for Bryan though. Goldy to still come in perhaps.
Jones then would be in the gun for 2MP, get him prepped for Anzac Day.
Still not sure they’d think 2MP has enough game time in him from one VFL practice match with 15min quarters. They could always plan to sub him out / manage minutes late
Any word on if McGovern will be back.
Kelly had 20d in the WAFL but you’d think that’d be enough for a recall
Wright that marks with eyes closed versus Eagles defenders that sleep with the lights on - real unstoppable force versus immovable object vibes there
I cant fathom people saying SEH should be dripped.
Bryan Out
2MP In
The end.
He is too old, can’t have old players in the side, especially when they are playing well
Can’t see us risking playing Goldstein with Draper now that Bryan’s done for the year.
Probably plays minimal vfl to keep his touch but other than that wrap Goldstein in cotton wool in case the unfortunate happens.
Will be interesting. If you bring in 2MP, Draper then goes into ruck, so you are replacing a guy who doesnt really know how to lead, but smashes packs and can take contested marks, for a guy who leads well, but cant take a contested mark.
If ever there is a time for mids to learn how to hit leads, it will start this weekend.
Also note, the vfl was only a practice match and only 15min quarters, so it is a pretty short preperation he would be coming in on
In : Wright Tsatas Saad
Out : Bryan Hobbs or Prior
Sub : Hobbs or Prior
I think Tsatas needs to given games as a priority over Hobbs. Tough but fair unless he fails over next 4 to 5 games. But I’d put him in the middle and see what he can do.
And you can’t drop Shiel after that game but with Caldwell coming in soon and his half back fail he’ll need to keep his form to that level to stay in.
