Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

TAB have Hawks @ favorites to win @ $1.70 (Bulldogs $2.10)

Good money for Bulldogs over 15.5 points @ $2.95

It's pretty hard to frame an accurate market on the NAB Cup but the Hawks would be my favourites to win it. They are a quality side that missed the finals last season. Big break and wanting to get back to winning footy and putting out a side resembling their best in the NAB Cup.

What's the odds for Hawthorn winning the NAB Cup?

Agree with what Rocco said.

I'm sure our side also resembles somewhere near our best too. We'll be missing Minson, Williams & Johnson. I think the Hawks will be without Renouf, Burgoyne & Rioli.

That's true, I would actually have us as second favourites. Just think they might be a bit more serious about it than us.

Those StKilda chaps may be in with a show.

Saints favorites, then hawks then dogs @ $7 to win it

Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

I think just as much as it's about having your best team out there, it's also about how good those extra 3-4 players are (the extra couple on the bench, plus the two substitutes).

Given all the talk about us having amazing depth, that should give us a stronger team?

I do agree that Saints, Hawks and Dogs are the three most likely at the moment, but anything can happen.

Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

I will be interested to see how we go about combatting the 'twin towers'.

Lake only played a bit part role against Brisbane (and looked a little rusty) so I will be interested to see if he lines up on Franklin remembering that he did a great job on him last year. With no Williams (as per TCD's post) I wonder who will line up on Roughead? Normally you would say Morris, but perhaps they may like to see Mulligan have a crack.

Why are we missing Williams, what has he managed to injure now

In the Brisbane game in Canberra he came off at half time experiencing hamstring tightness & was substituted. Just don't want to risk him.

I must have missed that too, cheers for the update.

So even when he's not having structural problems (broken foot bones, dislocated shoulder etc) he's having soft tissue problems.

You know, I'm starting to think Williams might be a little injury prone!

Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

Whilst I wouldn't mind seeing Mulligan get a crack at one of Franklin/Roughead, it might do more harm than good. Rance was killed and was substituted off the ground after they threw him to the wolves. I wouldn't like to see the same thing happening to Mulligan. Hawthorn appear to be in good nick too so I'm not sure if it's the right time.

From DR's list, how many players miss? Is it just the two?

No Easton Wood again.

Hopefully we’re just being conservative at this stage of the season and the knock he copped wasn’t worse than first thought.
