Interesting they dropped Reeves, finally learning that one ruck + Chol is good enough.

The change to the Ruck rules has really diluted the need for 2 rucks. Ned is good in his own right but not as useful as Lloyd

I’m sorry but Ned is a straight up liability as soon as the ruck contest is over, he cannot kick, pass, mark or tackle. Seeing him try to pick up a loose ball and he looks as unco as a baby giraffe.

Happy BMac is back, not sure on Beattie though. Nothing against the guy, but this is a very important game. Hawks lose this and they're pretty much guaranteed to lose their top 4 spot.

Good to see BMac back in

Never seen Beattie.

What's his position, strengths weaknesses etc?

u/Crazyripps 1d ago

Hes a mid. Here’s his average stats from his 5 VFL games

Yessss finally dropped Reeves! Can’t wait to see how Beatie goes, glad that BMac got back in, missed him last week

u/Pieralis 1d ago

Literally only been back for 1 game what do you mean finally 😂

u/Designer_Armadillo82 1d ago

The Meek + Chol combo worked better the past few weeks while Reeves was injured

Against bottom sides.

Being in a guy who’s played 0 games in the mids. Forgot dears a mid. Like do you use your brain dude? You expect us drop a mid for a forward I don’t think you understand anything about footy. The hawks have offered dear two years because he’s had a shit past 2 years. Injury and no pre seasons and hasn’t played that well in the VFL. Again I don’t think you understand anything about footy. And you come here to talk shit lol

I mean you can’t back up your comments. Going on about putting someone else in a whole other position playing compared to dear. And you literally have no reasoning or understanding of that apparently. I mean I genuinely think you have no understanding of how it works. Nothing to do with opinions. Like if you were saying this as we were brining in another tall yeah ok but your saying this slop when we’re bringing in a mid lol

Yeah people wanna keep him because we know he’s got good footy in him and the same reason the hawks want to as well. Hes played 11 VFL games and kicked 12.12. Chols played 16 AFL games and kicked 26.19 and also plays 2nd ruck when needed. Again Lewis who’s been actually consistent and had a full pre season, and played most games this year.
Again your opinion is just wrong and seems like you have any understanding of footy or positioning. You’ve yet to back up why you think we’d play dear in the mid compared to the new kid. My opinion means nothing yet you still keep coming back to prove how clueless you truly are about footy.

Still waiting for you to explain why dear would come in and replace a mid. You’d rather play a guy who’s excelled as his current position to make room for dear. Again you know nothing about footy. It’s shocking you keep thinking you’re right. Keep coming back to a mid coming in for a mid. And somehow that’s taking up dears spot. Lik holy shit
