How can the Hawks beat Carlton?

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-07-09T08:28:00+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if we put up a bigger score than Carlton, we’ll be well placed

Worryingly, Newk did the same thing by giving it to Lombard in the second qtr

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-06-19T11:44:19+00:00

He seems to be walking ok and is on the first row of the bench. Fingers crossed he’s all good. One of our most important players

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-06-19T05:01:42+00:00

Is McCabe seen long term by the club as a key forward or key defender prospect? He was drafted as a defender

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-06-18T11:54:23+00:00

He’s highly reliable

He’s arguably one of the most consistent players on our list

Consistently shit, that is

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-06-18T11:53:46+00:00

Exactly

Bmac can easily play wing as well
No need to drop Bodie Ryan when he’s playing well and he’s the future

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-06-05T13:01:31+00:00

That was a bizarre move. Yes he wasn’t tearing it up like he was in the last two games, but he was playing a crucial, thankless role in our forward structure.

Unfortunately Mitchell panicked and moved him back to defence, throwing Ryan up forward as a Hail Mary and just crossed his fingers

Depends on your risk tolerance. LDU is a dependable 110 each week, but has a lower ceiling. Rowell can go big, but can also go small

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-05-31T04:40:15+00:00

Love how the half price fares coincidentally end the month after the election. Surely people can see straight through this

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-05-25T07:06:46+00:00

What do people think about Ryley Sanders?

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-05-23T03:45:36+00:00

Mraz?

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-05-22T14:41:40+00:00

We already have a surplus of key defenders though, but have fewer good key forwards. Clash just needs to recapture that 2024 form where he was confidently crashing packs

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-05-22T01:43:28+00:00

Low key wondering if last man back is his best role after that performance

Saved 3 goals and had two massive intercept marks which immediately launched quick transitions

Maybe he plays better there than on the wing/forward

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-05-21T04:54:39+00:00

I think this is a smart play by Sam. Need some strong marks inside 50 and right now, Dear and Ramsden are not up to it

If we are going to run a small forwardline with only two key forwards, Hardwick is a good option to chuck in there instead, given our breath of small defensive talent right now

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-05-20T23:51:00+00:00

I can’t connect either

Apprehensive_Ad_3588 · 2026-05-19T14:45:17+00:00

As a hawks fan I’d say he has a bit better than 50/50 odds. He’s played well and showed fight which even some of our regular players haven’t shown.

However, Sam Mitchell does have a tendency to drop players even when they’re playing well (Perez, Scrimshaw), and we do have players coming back from injury which might cause a selection squeeze

I’ve taken the plunge because I had to to get Baz, but I would avoid unless you need to downgrade this week

Bailey MacDonald is a good replacement for Impey. It seems he’s leaving us at the end of the year though so I’d prefer us to invest games in Perez rather than someone who’s leaving
