Round 2 - Hawthorn - Discussion, Changes

Pretty hard to change that side but this is going to be a HUGE game to see where we're at, I'm nervous already.

 

Winderlich had a similar hammy to Hibberd by most reports and was kept in cotton wool given his history, surely you'd strongly consider him for Hardingham (or Ambrose)? 

 

Dempsey for Gleeson or is he not ready yey?

 

Geez you'd love Melk to take Zach's spot, that's why suspensions hurt you so much.

 

This is going to be huge.

In Winderlich

Out Hardingham

Winderlich, but only if he feels completely ready and fit enough to run out there...No use rushing him back.

 

Dempsey if he is ready.

In: Winderlich

Out: Zac Merrett

Winderlich to play as sub. Dempsey to play VFL if he is ready.

Just watching Hawks Vs Lions now & judging by the 1st half the team wwe had last night would do nicely.

Ambrose to stay in… Running machine.

I think we can really take it up to them.

Last three times we’ve been walloped…

56, 94 and 65 points

Its been mentioned already that Dempsey will play VFL next week

I hope ruff-head and hale are sufficiently injured enough to miss next week.

No Franklin this time, so that removes the 36 to 60 or so points he usually scores himself against Essendon.

Winderlich for either Gleeson, Hardingham or Zerrett.

Preferably for Gleeson.

Would love Dempsey back but doubt we will put him back in.

I wouldn’t take out any pace and especially any that can play back if needed.

No changes unless absolutely necessary.

This. Unless winders is fit of course.

NO CHANGE!

Winder and Dempsey auto ins if fit - but only if fit.  They are top 10 players at the club.  Unfortunately, 2 of the new boys will have to make way - probably Ambrose and Zach Merett.  Reckon Dempsey might be another week or two away (believe he played a vfl praccy today though).  Winderlich might at least come in as sub.

I hope ruff-head and hale are sufficiently injured enough to miss next week.


I don't want to play them missing their key players. I want to beat them with their best 22...

Why Gleeson?  He played awesome.  14 possessions in less then 3 quarters.  Composed himself under pressure multiple times.  

 

Hardingham can not kick.  May have got two goals but caused 2-3 obvious turn overs from poor kicking that cost us goals.  Overall his total score would be in the negative.  

We’re due against this mob.

Because Gleeson is still the size of an 11 year old girl. We won’t get away with that against the likes of the Hawks. They will use that as a massive mismatch in my opinion.
