Preview Round 7, 2024 : Hawks v Swans, 4pm Sunday 28th April, MCG

[Strapping Young Lad]

Hopefully some players to return this week.

Lewis and Day should be ok… CJ has a minor Quad setback delaying his return, Bruest might need another week.

Swans are up and about so this will be tough.

Go at it.

At the MCG, Lewis and Day back in, boys up and about from a win.....danger game for Sydney. Won't see us coming, we'll scrap across the line for a one point win. We've got this!

 

[Hawk88]

Please Sammy, don't drop Serong!

 

[Flukey!]

I friggin hate the AFL and their fixture.

 

[Mercy Seat]

In: Day, Lewis, Ward
Out: Huss (needs a full game), ?, ?

 

[cama30]

Breust said he could play this week on 3aw but I think he will come back the week after vs the Bulldogs!
Day and Lewis in
Hustwaite and Serong out
Mackenzie as the sub to replace Day halfway through the 3rd quarter!
If we have no injuries!!

In: Day, Lewis, Ward
Out: Huss (needs a full game), ?, ?

We weren't super against North but I don't think we'll be making 3 changes. Ward in particular, he was great in the VFL but I reckon he'll be made to really tear the VFL apart before he gets back into the squad.

 

[Mr Lizard]

oh hai, competition for spots, good to see you again!

 

[Newmo89]

Day will definitely be back in this week based on his training output and how he is feeling in his body. Think Lewis might be another week away based on what he has done on the track the past three weeks but things can change. With the three tall structure that the Swans have with McLean, Amarty and McDonald, we may need to look at bringing in an Ethan Phillips who has the extra height and body strength. Interesting week at the selection table.

Out: Huss, Mass

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Please Sammy, don't drop Serong!

Had a good game bar one panicky kick into the middle which cost us a goal. I think he'll play a few games now. It certainly helped Scrimshaw and Frost peel off their players IMO.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Day in.

Hustwaite out.

D'Ambrosio to sub.

Would love Ward to come back in, but I'm not sure who comes out. Especially with Ward needing to play in the midfield.

Mackenzie Sub?

Hard pass

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Mackenzie Sub?

Hard pass

Should never be the sub again, getting full games into him is crucial.

Hope he plays the HFF/midfield role from this point on in the season. If he can get the ball in areas where he's delivering it into the F50 then we are making the most of his talent.

Day in.

Hustwaite out.

D'Ambrosio to sub.

Would love Ward to come back in, but I'm not sure who comes out. Especially with Ward needing to play in the midfield.

Surely not relegating the #1 rated wingman in the AFL???

Agree w these changes. Give Ward another week in the VFL, have the big dominant game there and something will open back up for him.

Day will definitely be back in this week based on his training output and how he is feeling in his body.

Any news on Bruest? Or have I missed something

 

[cryptor]

Day and Lewis back with this at the G has me genuinely feeling like we could win.

Maginness to perhaps return to the hard tag role to quell Heeney.

Surely we don't use Day as the sub....

 

[Argy]

I'm hoping we deliver a tight contest with a us showing more confidence after the win. A sneaky chance for a win.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Finn to Heeney

Feel like we’re a chance here- swans were shithouse last time at the G… Day and Lewis back would be massive…

Monkey might be off the back after getting a win - we’ve played some good footy in patches this year- if we can put together 4 quarters or close to it we’ll be hard to beat…

 

[MrPremiership]

Just be hungry and competitive. Don't let the game be over by HT

 

[cryptor]

Surely we don't use Day as the sub....

I would think that would be ridiculous given the whole point of his extended rehab was to not take risks and wait until he was 100% fit. And a 100% fit Day is named on field.

 

[Cyril says]

Can we go flat out to win the first half?

We know they are good - but effort for much of this week was off the charts and if we give that again we might not embarrass ourselves.

Meantime - why the rush to leave Mass out?

Day, Ward for HH and JS.

 

[kirbatron]

Never been so happy than to see Wilbur Day back out there

In: Day Lewis
Out: Huss, Mass

Why are you wanting to drop Mass?.... has been one of the best performers this season...
