Box Hill Hawks play 1 pm Saturday.  It will be interesting to see if Ceglar turns up or whether he's shipped down to Launceston to cover for 'Big Boy'

I thought they might play both and use Ceglar down back to help with Harry but maybe the weather has influenced then to go with a more mobile lineup.
McEvoy usually does well against us, am hoping he is out....

Too tall and too slow.

Just about what I was going to say. To me, if someone's unlucky so be it. It's about getting the right balance to win a game not keeping players in just because they don't deserve to be dropped.

If they are not intending to slot Cuningham in at the last minute, there is no point in taking him along as the ‘just in case’ emergency. I’d rather see him get game time.

I'm thinking Charlie will drop out late.

That's my hunch, also. Plus, form considered before injuries, I reckon Cuningham (provided he can put in 4 qtrs) will give our midfield and small forward line even more dangerous zip.

As an aside, terrific media conference from BB re this game. Fewer cliches, more real person... love it. And handled some real curly ones with appropriate 'diplomatic candor'.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It’s amazing how much better we can all perform when we don’t have a monkey sitting in the middle of our back!!

Agree, though I thought last week's was also a beaut. If there is one thing about BB that no-one can dispute... the bloke is giving everything he's got.

Doggedness and persistence can often triumph even over pure talent.
Reality always wins in the end.

I agree on Cuningham being the missing ingredient, terribly small sample size but he’s been our only likely small forward since Betts.
Get him fit and get him in !

Edit: Thanks PPaulPP, the grammar nazi... ????
Let’s go BIG !

Only 1 "n", as in Cuningham.

At any rate, I can't get a read on our form for this game. The Hawks are very well drilled, well coached, disciplined and will have plenty of experience and plenty of premiership players lining up tomorrow.

As noted, Hawthorn are vulnerable, it’ll depend on us being switched on and playing to potential, can we ?
I think we can ????????

Yup. A lot of major league talent (in all areas of life) walking in and out of CentreLink.

It's a bit hard to tell isn't it.
Was last week an anomaly?
Did we catch the Bulldogs unprepared...if so it's doubtful the hawks will take us so lightly.
In some respects this is a good test for us to see where we're really at.
