Onfield , might not have much choice though if Sloane , Brown , McInerney & Mahony are all missing.

Hopefully he dishes up something better than last week.

Slow Hawks so if he can't, I can see him being dropped next week with Baker,Dusty to return. I think Ross will have a better impact than Pickett and remain if that is the case.

Certainly a few Tigers itching for a spot , was hoping (like many) that he would be good for a 75+ and make lots of $$$ , not so sure now.

No idea how Collier-Dawkins is tracking but they would be keen to see what he can bring.

Apparently the Hawks will be fielding the oldest average aged team ever tonight. There's an online article about it on the Herald Sun website, but it's behind a pay wall.

Clarko, as a fan of the club - PLAY SOME YOUNGER PLAYERS! Please. We need to get experience into them.

Might just be the "model" and depth at both GEE and HAW ..... got the youth but not prepared to play some of them ...

- when they get a chance most go well .... but those chances are very limited .... pick em off one by one are my initial thoughts ...

No surprise, how Puopolo keeps getting a game is a mystery, After big losses, it’s the younger player that gets dropped.

I have Dusty. I'm just benching him. Haven't decided which line I'm benching him on yet.

Gonna bench Dusty too, probably in the forward line. Hopefully it's only a week that he misses.

I'm interested to know what you're gonna do with Houston? Keep for now?

I'm tempted to do one of the below:
1. Straight swap to Howe (have doubts on him keeping his scoring rate this high)

or

2.
Houston --> def rookie,
B.Cavarra --> C.Petracca (will he keep playing midfield and attending centre bounces?) or Rozee (if Wines comes back, how will it effect his scoring?)

The second scenario will be torn up if Sturt is named.

And people still say Clarko is a great coach!?!? If it was any other coach picking that backline they would be the laughing stock of the comp.
IMO should have been Lewis, Scrimshaw, O'Meara and any small forward in for Patton, Poppy, Stratton and one of McEvoy/Ceglar. We are playing 2 tall defenders too many and if Mitch Lewis is fit then he has to play.

I was surprised he got another year this year. A bit of a wasted spot on the list.

My brother and best mates' are Hawks supporters, and every damn day I have this conversation with them... It's actually one of my Top 20 things that frustrates me about AFL - Puopolo is still on Hawthorn's list... RANT OVER... Worpedo for PM!
