SUMMARY
Both the Hawks and Pies are coming off disappointing 2017 campaigns and shape as the two of the more difficult clubs to handicap heading into the new season. What is clear about the Pies is that they’ll need close to their best 22 available most weeks if they’re to snap their four-year finals drought and, sadly, they’ll again be missing some key players this week. Not so the Hawks, who will be close to full strength and given the difficult few weeks to follow, the same nightmare 0-4 start from last year looms large again if they don’t win this. The Pies bat deeper through the midfield and are the better clearance team, but the Hawks have more talent inside both 50-metre arcs and the return of Ben Stratton, James Frawley and more than likely, Cyril Rioli, helps considerably.
Schwarz Suggests: Hawks by 10 pts

NO LATE CHANGES
FINAL INTERCHANGES
Hawthorn: Taylor Duryea, Daniel Howe, Liam Shiels, Cyril Rioli
Collingwood: Sam Murray, Taylor Adams, James Aish, Travis Varcoe
With Ryder looking like he may miss a few.
I made a last minute change to Big Mason Cox at F5.
English R3.
It might back fire ,but I do sleep better with ruck cover.
This also means I can’t loophole Dusty.
T Mitch is my C tonight.
Could have gone Frampton if you could wait til next week.
Any idea how bad O’ Connors ankle is? My only option is to trade for Fogarty(Geel)
Am I better off
TU Keep O’connor he’ll be back next week and Fogartys JS is suspect or
TD trade O’Connor not sure when he’s back
Is that cats O’connor ?? What happened ?
He has been withdrawn
what a shame…I get Holman’s 96
Ankle injury apparently.
5 minutes in, and O’Meara has had 6 touches.
Sigh….O’Meara why you do this.
Mitchell with a lazy 29 at half time.
Who thinks he’ll get 60?
I hope he does. he is my Captain!
Swapped him out for Danger but left v on Dusty. got $290 k for when Danger hits $600k
Swapped titch IN for Danger !!
Shame on Buck’s for letting this happen.
I’m kind of regretting taking Cripps’ 130 at the moment.
Mitchell on track for 170 – 180.
At least he’s my captain in the two DT codes.
No harm in ever taking 130+..I took Dustys 139. Remember Zerrett ??
Sicily on 65 😀
I didn’t end up starting Gunston, but he’s on 73.
Sick Dog!
Daniel Howe’s ankle injury looked nasty. Fingers crossed for his sake it’s just rolled, but to be honest, I will be very surprised if it’s not broken. It bent at an angle at which ankles are just not meant to bend.
Burton, sorry.
Whoever it was, it looked bad!
Titch not tackling enough for mine
He can’t tackle himself mate.
Can’t tackle when you always have the ball.
Bucks: ‘so, you’re a natural footballer who’s starred as a junior and played your entire career in one position?’
Footballer: ‘yes, that’s right…’
Bucks: ‘I can see you not playing that position’.
Mitchell with a world record 54 disposals.

Gee, that Mitchell kid goes alright………
Titchell doing me a solid as C after LDU, Rayner and Fyfe. What a pig.
We wasn’t tagged. Let’s wait until he does it 3 times in the row. He is a champion and will score that’s for sure, but 54 disposals ? Really ?
Twice in 2 years hes had 50+ ablett jr the greatest mid of the modern era has done it once in what 15 years? And titch is still only 24 years old..
Great game again by Mitchrll against the Pies. Buckley refuses to man him up.
Happy with McGovern to Sicily trade to get funds for Zerrett to Danger next week.
Maybe Buckley secretly has him in his SuperCoach team?
Are we sold on Sicily yet? 😛
How about Mason Cox
How good was MAYNARD when he dacked that Hawks player!?
Sadly for him, I don’t think Champion Data hands out points for pulling people’s pants down.
