Hawks v Phoenix Jan12

Love the youth of this team, keep playing them & sign them to longer contracts. Ideal team I reckon would be

Import, Naar
Dech, Glover
Blanchfield, Grida
Import, Froling, Coenraad
Import, Aj

Froling to mix it up in the 4/5
Imports in the 1 & 4 need to be scorers
Import in the 5 needs to be a banger

Ogilvy has been very good for most of the season, I’m not a hawks supporter but he’s done well.

Future team
Dech, Naar
Glover Grida
import, Blanchfield
Import, Coenrads
Ogilvy, Froling
Harris as eleventh man, has shown a bit. Get two top quality imports wings that play D and can score, are humble and can lead. If you can get that and play your starters bigger minutes that starting five will complete. Perth went with Martin for a decade and Dech can play that roll. Naar is a bit to one dimensional but could be good in situations. Glover with good imports around could be anything. Get an old head over the coaching department for more experience and to allow coach Flynn to bounce things off.

It does though.

Head-to-head doesn't, but Illawarra are mathematically out of the playoffs anyway, so under the old system there would have been no point taking that shot.

Did no one tell ol’ Ben Madgen that for/against doesn’t matter anymore?

If only SEM had the luxurious schedule to close out season that Perth does.

Speaking of Perth they will put them out of their misery on Friday night.

SEM remaining games:

@Per
@Syd (2nd game of round)

@Bris
Vs Cai (2nd game)

@Adelaide

Vs Kings

@NZ
Vs Utd (2nd)

Brutal.

Love to see them make it, but no chance.

Failed coaches but all quality players.

Deng Adel would come in handy.

Yeah, my tip for AJ & Booney to bounce back.... waaaaaaaay off : (

Hobson is a CANCER!

How & why did we-

a) sign him?

b) keep playing him?

c) not cut him?

Why why why why?

I just cant understand it : (

Madgen wanted a foul called on his garbage time three point shot.

What was the tiff at the end with the Phoenix players and fat boy aylen? Game was done. Also between the coaches?

Tough games coming for Phoenix.

Armstrong doesn’t play because I’m still laughing at how he plays defence. Supposed to be a great athlete though, might be better at high jump.

That Wesley foul is brutal

Sam easily the better Froling.

Does Luke Nevill still exist? Been years since I've heard of him when he was playing in Taiwan.

Heal's man crush on Froling and Cadee still more noteable.

But given how bad their interior D is right now, they need him

Gazes man crush on Pineau is a tad OTT

Casey, Gaze & Homicide calling the game basically the perfect trio.

John Casey is calling this game!

Have faith, my son, for Melo will return to save your soul only when it becomes darkest.

No doubt Homicide is thinking of another name for us.

When Creek is aggressive around the ring, SEM get the wins. The Hawks will need to guard him closely and frustrate him.

As a Hawks supporter I would like to see less of Hobson & more of the younger guys play. Love it when the mixture of Narr, Dech, Glover, Blanchfield, Grida, Coenraad,Froling & AJ as we play with pace & run the floor. We still might lose but a lot more entertaining than watching Hobson play

Hawks by 14

AJ & Booney to bounce back as twin tower dynamos!

Though when Creek plays the 3 I'm not confident that Toddy or Grida can guard him! : (

Phoenix by 7.

Who can stop Creek or Wesley from the hawks? Do that and hawks are a chance. Mitchell is a good coach and I think will have the answers for the hawks. SEM by 11.

I'm feeling that Hobson's going to finally spens more time on he bench than on the court, Dech & Glover make Roberson's life a misery & SEM wont guard Naar off the PNRs too well & my beloved Hawkies swoop home by 6.

Is there there any Big V Practices games on this weekend?

Details would be great, especially any in the South East.
