2025 AAMI Community Series - Hawthorn V Western Bulldogs Thu 27/2/25 UTAS Stadium, Launceston 5:20PM AEDT

[Eastdog]

For all discussion of our first official pre season match for 2025 this Thursday.

I would say we would play a more full strength squad for this one as our final tune up before the real stuff.

Just hope for no more injuries.

Just hope for no more injuries.

We will likely go into this game with a stronger line-up and obviously being prepared for our better players to run out the full game,
I'd still expect a surprise selection or two.

[JackCJohnston2000]

When will we know selection given it's a Thursday arvo game?

Last chance to work out who they want playing against Larkey , in the 1st round , do they need a negator or and intercepter ?.

[NAUGHTY100]

Im guessing Wednesday arvo .

[GVGjr]

When will we know selection given it's a Thursday arvo game?

The players will very likely know tomorrow. I suspect the announcement will happen on the ground.

I just realised it is on Thursday

I’m more concerned with seeing how our midfield functions against the hawks than our defence tbh

No team except maybe Melbourne have given us more trouble through the middle of the ground in the last few years. With Macrae and Daniel being replaced, this is a good test to see if it’s improved us at all.

[Go_Dogs]

It’s great we are getting an early look at the Hawks and hopefully it gives our collective an opportunity to really focus on beat foot forward rather than trialling too many things.

The line up is going to be fascinating.

[GVGjr]

Just a guess at a possible line-up
Backs
Bramble - Gardner - Freijah
Gallagher - Lobb - Baker
Centre
English - Bontempelli - Liberatore
Williams - Sanders - Davidson
Forwards
West - Naughton - M.Kennedy
McNeil - Darcy - Vandermeer
Interchange
Garcia - Harmes - O'Donnell - Hynes - Khamis
Busslinger + Poulter (Travelling emergencies)

Not considered
Treloar - Ugle-Hagan - Weightman - Duryea - L.Jones - Richards - Dale - Johannisen

[kruder]

Thats not a 22 that can make the 8 we are going to need some luck with the boys returning.

[Go_Dogs]

Like it G. That’s a strong line up for us

[bulldogfan]

Hey just a question do u think dale will be fit enough to play round 1

[JanLorMill]

Just a guess at a possible line-up
Backs
Bramble - Gardner - Freijah

We start the season with Gardner as our FB its not starting well

[Pedro Sanchez]

Will this be on tele (Fox/Kayo)?
