no Clem!

Or Cripps, or Cunningham, Walker, Armfield or Gussy Sheehan.

From the 29 named, I'm guessing they will drop Murph (Give him an extra couple of weeks to get his body right), MacKay and....... and......
and..... there's no obvious 3rd person to drop for me !!

Do we really want Thomas to play?
Paid the most so should be wrapped up in cotton wool.

Especially against the Dawks as they will be out to keep us in our place

Only pre season I know but it would be nice to knock them off or at least match them physically. I would like to see a small dust up with our players flying the flag and stand in unity in NUMBERS.

Kreuzer?

We won't go in with Casboult, Jones, Phillips, Gorringe, McKay and Kreuzer.

Maybe, although according to Gorringe, he has been training in the role of a half forward flanker (similar to Everitt), which leaves Jones and Casboult as the key forwards and Kreuzer and Phillips as the 2 rucks.

Maybe they could all play together!

That would stretch Hawthorn's defence but they could hurt us with run off halfback.

Gorringe would be an enormous half forward flanker

We are loading up on kids and Hawthorn are naming more than half their GF side!

The Dawkthorn intent is obvious and simple, hurt the opposition kids and leave them intimidated by Hawthorn for the rest of their career! At least we have Bolton there to word them up!

In 2015 NAB Hawthorn played nobodies against Collingwood and Norp, then loaded up on seniors to play The Aints newborns as well. This is classic Angry Ant mentality, once the opposition are down you don't stop kicking them!

What's the bet that at least one of our Young-Uns comes away from this game with a LTI Knee or Shoulder injury as a result of a heavy tackle from a senior Hawthorn opponent.

I reckon Bolton will have a plan in place to ensure that any intimidation is met with at least equal force.

Apart from Weitering, McKay and Curnow who are these kids we are loading up on?

Weitering and McKay are very well built and Curnow seems a pretty tough animal.

You shouldn't ignore history, Clarkson hasn't, he knows that to stay at the top you have to be brutal with your challengers!

Why give him the opportunity?

We are offering Agamemnon the chance to kill Achilles while he is still a baby!

While the AFL have come out and condemned tackling to hurt, claiming it's on the way out. It won't stop a club like Hawthorn rolling forward like the evil hoard. This is no different to the Murphy situation when he faced the Lions while at their peak.

There is a world of difference between LTIs that are the result of accidents, and LTIs that are the result of bastard acts!

Hodge never meant to jam someones head between his shoulder and the post, Mitchell never meant to bury his kneecap into someones thigh, Hodge never meant to bury his kneecap into someones kidney, Gibson never meant to punch someone in the back of the head, Lewis and Franklin never meant to bury someones forehead into the Etihad turf. As a club they sure are lucky with the never meants!
