Hawks Round 4 Team

[Mr.Craig]

Stratton was best afield for Box Hill yesterday so he looks good to go. Shoey seems to have got through the game okay too but we might want to give him one more warm up. Sewell also played but I'm not sure of his stats. Lake is back from suspension but does he come straight back in?

It's hard to make changes to a winning team and our fill-ins have been serviceable for the most part but we need to be ruthless.

Possible Ins - Stratton, Lake, Shoenmakers, Sewell, McEvoy

Possible Outs - Litherland, Ceglar, Spangher, Cheney, Langford, Simpkin, Duryea

don't think you guys really need Lake vs GC but it is up there and he prob should get a run before the Cats game in round 5

think you guys should keep playing Langford

[Nige]

As long as Jesus retains his place, it's all good.  :P

But yeah, hope Big Boy is back. Don't wanna be fielding bloody Derickx for another week.  ::)

[Scrads]

If McEvoy comes back, it is for Ceglar and if he is not, Ceglar stays.

Lake will come in for Spangher, Stratts will come in for Litherland. Schoey will have a few more at BH. Sewell may come in and if he does it will probably be Simpkin who misses out.

Does anyone know how bad Big Boy's injury actually was? Didn't get a chance to trade him out of my AF this week so not sure what's the go..

[Jroo]

Hopefully Langford keeps his spot for at least a few more weeks.

Thought I saw it listed as a calf somewhere.

Yeah think that's what it was listed as on Hawthorn's team sheet.

Anyone heard anything on how long he might be out for? :(

Hard to tell with the Hawthorn ducks and drakes but Clarko seemed to indicate he was close to playing on Friday so hopefully it's not that serious.

[Toga]

Good to hear, thanks Craigy.

HAWTHORN expects to regain Captain Luke Hodge for Saturday night's clash against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium.

Ruckman Ben McEvoy, a late withdrawal from Friday night's win with a calf injury also trained on Tuesday but will need to pass a fitness test on Thursday

Defender Ben Stratton could be among the senior players to return following a successful comeback from a hamstring injury via the VFL on Saturday

But the news isn't as good for fellow hamstring victim Brad Sewell, who faces another week on the sidelines after experiencing hamstring soreness in the aftermath of Saturday's Box Hill victory.

Ryan Schoenmakers, meanwhile, made a successful return from a knee reconstruction in the VFL and will continue to gain match fitness before being recalled to the senior side, while Alex Woodward will miss two weeks with a shoulder injury.

[Nige]

Woodward.  :(

[Toga]

Hmm not really encouraging news on McEvoy. Hopefully he'll be named but still weary of him being a late out like Enright was the week before... :(

[RaisyDaisy]

Hopefully Sewell being a few weeks away helps Langers keep his spot long enough to make some coin

+ good for Shiels' scoring. :)

Sucks for Brad though.
