I get what you are saying but I want Clohesy to get a taste of the Easter Monday heat.. I reckon he’ll rise to it …
To be fair, I didn't give him a vote either.
Martin's season had people reaching for the record books IIRC. Yes, Dangerfield was exceptional and would have won it in almost any other year (barring suspension), but Martin won almost every media award under the sun and went into the count at $1.10 (with PFD out of the field of course).

Eh, I think Hird was just more so a weak head coach rather than a straight-up cheat.
The weather also doesn't change the game in the same way that it once did. The footy doesn't become a kettlebell dipped in vaseline, the ground doesn't become a mud pit.
As much as I don't think there will be that much rain, torrential rain tends to suit us. We were on top of Brisbane in the bucketing rain both this year and last; it was only when it dried out that Brisbane's better foot skills started to really chop us up.
too long again between games- still struggling with my lack of 70's footy scheduling- games every Saturday- God forbid when there were Sunday games.
That's kinda hard to say for 2025 until we've seen some form.
I think if Kolo doesn't come straight back in it will be more to do with rewarding someone for last weeks effort more than Jake not being ready to go.
No mate.
Rained in tassie, better rest Stanley
Yes but perhaps not this week after so long out.
Clohesy is not overly skilled but he certainly has a go. If the ball is there to be won he isn't waiting for a handpass like some others in the 22.
Yeah that Dangerfield is such a soft little wimp. Always looking for the cheapies that guy!
O'Connor had a good game against Adelaide. You need his mobility against Hawthorn's smalls. I can't see him being dropped.Huge game!
Forecast is looking grim – wet weather almost certain, which sadly plays right into Hawthorn’s hands. Their contested brand and mosquito fleet forward line will thrive in the slop, especially with how they scrap at ground level. Our outside game lead by Holmes & Smith could struggle if it turns into a slog.
Massive watch on the ruck battle. Lloyd Meek is in ripping form and will be a handful in these conditions. He’s a proper contested beast and will relish the mud. Could be the perfect storm for him, especially if we persist with our mobile ruck options.
Stanley's been great so far this year, but maybe this is the one to rest him. Conditions probably don’t suit his style and it could be smarter to roll the dice with Blicavs and/or SDK in the ruck to keep the ground-level pressure and mobility up.
Changes:
- IN: Stewart, Kolo (much-needed stability and experience down back)
- OUT: Clohesy, O’Connor, Stanley (rested/injury management)
Stewart’s return is huge, especially if it gets slippery down back.
Should be a cracking game regardless – always is on Easter Monday. Just hoping we bring the heat from the first bounce and don’t get sucked into their scrap-fest.
Go Catters!
I was thinking Ohenry, Miers but prefer to let you figure it out yourself.
Kolo could come in for SDK who can be a bit flakey but SDK can share the ruck if needed. So versatility is actually SDK's advantage not Kolo's. I do not see Kolo displacing Henry (if fit), Stewart, Zuthrie or O'Sullivan.
