Always Right Match Committee Round 22 v Hawthorn

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 22 v Hawthorn

It shouldn't be that hard to either:
a. Avoid Sicily, or

Well, the problem is that Siciliy does what he does better than any of our guys do what they do...so if we don't give him a designated match-up then mark him down for 8+ intercepts (we get a lot of inside 50's so intercept totals against us are always skewed by 15-20%).

If we move the ball like we did last Friday Sicily will be a non factor. If the ball goes sideways left, right, backwards before our inside 50 kick like we have for most of the season then Sicily becomes an issue. Let's see which Bulldog team turns up.

Yes agree. Let's play our game and try not to kick the ball straight to Sicily. Balta was meant to be the highest interceptor this season, and looked what happened there.

Fingers crossed JJ plays, he wasn't in the injury list but doesn't mean he will be playing.

The go forward factor of JJ, Dale and Richards was significant in the first quarter and I love how Bevo mentioned taking ground in the presser it does sound like its something we are working on.

I'd ask Naughton to mind him and play a defensive forward role on Sicily. I would keep team balance and allow JUH and Lobb space.

Naughton appeals to me to be the ideal player at CHF to play on Sicily, which leaves Lobb and English to alternate in the ruck and at full forward. Naughton has the pace, skill and marking ability to match and beat Sicily, who is the key to Hawthorn?s defence.

JJ to miss with calf tightness. Gards to miss again.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 22 v Hawthorn

In: Keath, Baker
Out: JJ, Scott, Jones

With Hawthorn having 3 tall forwards we will need to bring Keath back in.

Real shame on JJ.

I don't think Hawks have a great tall forward aside from Lewis so hopefully Jones and O'Donnell can handle him between them

Bevo said they are a different challenge when compared to Richmnd with their talls. My read is that we will play another tall. Keath back in.

Makes sense forgot Keath was concussion protocols and would be available.

Shit. That really sucks. Such a key cog.

Yes and no. They have a very raw 200+cm giant playing well and Koschtizke rediscovered form against Collingwood.
