Stop Hawks -
Saad on Breust
Shut down Mitchell & Smith.
But to Flog Hawks
Bellchambers run through Mitchell early and have him carted off on a stretcher, Plus also dominate Ceglar.
Our Midfield will then win stoppages.
Send One Of Hurley or Hooker or Francis forward to Dominate with Brown and Stringer.
Saad not on Breust and running off at will from HBF.
Send Tippa/Fantasia into midfield for Bursts to break away from stoppages.
Dont give the umpire a chance to pay a free kick against us.

So you want Myers to follow Mitchell’s stretcher off the ground?
That’s a bit harsh given Myer’s current form.
Or is Mitchell some sort of Hawthorn zombie who’s likely to rise from the dead?
Freo for a start. Against Gold Coast we didn’t start playing until after half time. We should have beaten Brisbane by a lot more.
I’m not knocking what we’ve done. Just pointing out that we’re not rampaging towards the finals and bashing up all our opponents. We’ve been playing pretty well; we’ve passed some very hard tests so far; and we have what will be another very hard test on Saturday. We’ll need to play very hard.
I watched him pretty closely when he lined up on Stephenson in the Collingwood game and I was impressed with his concentration as well as his ability to still provide run and overlap when it was his turn.
