No change

Teams – Round 1 v Melbourne – Gibo, Hoops, Carl and KT!

Rhan goals Can’t wait! Footy is back and only one sleep away. I don’t know about you but apart from just seeing the boys in the full flight of competition, I think the other exciting thing about round 1 is seeing the new guys, and we have 4. Josh Gibson comes to us after a stellar career so far at North. He will slot into the backline and I see him taking the dangerous forwards that aren’t monsters. He had a rough game against Barry Hall in the NAB Cup, but from all reports, improved in the NAB Challenge. Rhan Hooper comes after a ruff few years in Brisbane. He shows flashes of brillance but trouble off the field and with efforts on the field probably mean he hasn’t reach his full potential.

Then we have the upgraded rookies. Carl Peterson, who we probably saw as a fillin for Rioli, now (to me anyway) looks like the answer to the question “who will replace Willo in the side”. He is 3cms taller and has the speed and leap. Injury/fitness will be the concern, but I think he is a sneaky pick to hold his spot through out the year. Jarrod Kayler-Thompson is a mature age recruit orginially from Victoria but who comes to us after playing well in the WAFL. He looks (even down to carrying the number 45) and plays a little bit like Clinton Young and could fill in that spot for a few weeks.

A quick couple of game notes. It is a replacement game, so Hawks members get in free and the big one, as I understand it, we will be able to go onto the field after the game and have a kick on the MCG. What a great move as long as it happens!

Teams – Squad for NAB Cup Round 2, 2010 vs Bulldogs

Carl Peterson at Training After a good performance in Round 1 against the Tigers, w should have a harder task against the Dogs in round 2. The 3 guys likely to come into the side that interest me most are Sam Grimely (Ruckman and sneaky backman option), Josh Gibson after moving to the Hawks from the Roos in the offseason and Carl Peterson, Second year rookie that is impressing many at training and could be a smokey in fantasy terms especially if Hooper and Rioli are missing with injury. Anyway, here is the side:

2. Jarryd Roughead
3. Jordan Lewis
4. Rick Ladson
5. Sam Mitchell
6. Josh Gibson
8. Xavier Ellis
12. Brad Sewell
13. Simon Taylor
14. Grant Birchall
15. Luke Hodge
17. Beau Muston
18. Brent Guerra
19. Jarryd Morton
21. Shane Savage
23. Lance Franklin
25. Ryan Schoenmakers
26. Liam Shiels
27. Stephen Gilham
28. Garry Moss
29. Tom Murphy
30. Campbell Brown
31. Matthew Suckling
35. Sam Grimley
36. Jordan Lisle
39. Ben Stratton
43. Will Sierakowski
45. Jarrod Kayler-Thomson
47. Luke Bruest
48. Carl Peterson.

Squad for NAB Cup Round 1, 2010

Shane Savage

Shane Savage - One to watch in Round 1 of 2010 NAB Cup

The boys will be having an Open Training tomorrow morning before heading out to Tassie to take on the Tigers in the opening Round of the NAB Cup. Here is the Squad:

2 Jarryd Roughead
3 Jordan Lewis
4 Rick Ladson
5 Sam Mitchell
6 Josh Gibson
8 Xavier Ellis
12 Brad Sewell
13 Simon Taylor
14 Grant Birchall
15 Luke Hodge
16 Beau Dowler
17 Beau Muston
18 Brent Guerra
19 Jarryd Morton
21 Shane Savage
23 Lance Franklin
25 Ryan Schoenmakers
26 Liam Shiels
27 Stephen Gilham
28 Garry Moss
30 Campbell Brown
31 Matthew Suckling
36 Jordan Lisle
39 Ben Stratton
42 Wayde Skipper
43 Will Sierakowski
45 Jarrod Kayler-Thomson
47 Luke Breust

The boys I am most looking forward to seeing are:

  • Josh Gibson – One of the two prize recruits (along with Shaun Burgoyne). How goes Gibson might be how goes the Hawks. Brad Sewell claimed that he will be playing Full Back this year. May not actually play.
  • Shane Savage – Like what he has done both late last year and in the last two training sessions I have been too. Could be a Smokey to make the Round 1 side v Melbourne
  • The Cobbler (Ryan Schoenmakers) – One of the players with the most excitement around him this year from the Hawks faithful. With Croad’s retirement, big things are hoped from him. Would be suprised to see him wear the 24 by the start of 2011.
  • Liam Shiels – Another Popular player. Has finished school and word is that he is killing it on the track, leading all the runs. With his outstanding fitness, could find himself as the Hawks number 1 tagger this year.
  • Matthew Suckling – Another fan fav for his work at Box Hill last year. Great kick and that is something that the Hawks coaches love.
  • Wade Skipper – Sneaky chance for round 1 with the burns to Brent Renouf. I have a strange feeling that Clarko is a big rap for the mobile ruckman and he should be on all DreamTeam and SuperCoach Benches!
  • Rick Ladson – Back from injury and another Fantasy hot item. Has been talk that he is injured but has looked good in the last few weeks.
