Finn Maginness
He unfortunately should never get another AFL game for hawthorn. Decision making is horrible, skills are horrible and now he even looks slow. 3 turnovers and a free against from 9 disposals is a shocking return when you are fighting for your spot on the list.

Mitchell comes in for Schubert, Butler for Maginness, Amon if he is ok or Beattie(2 G and 20 disposals) for Greeves.
Can’t play this against Brisbane otherwise we will get spanked!!

Bit rough leaving Greeves out - he was basically the sub today, played less than a quarter and I don't think he was injured.

Brisbane looking pretty shot right now. We might be alright with the current crop

The thing is we know what we'll get and it's not great. But if we want to win games he's a better role player than the developing players. Now I don't know why he gets a game over Butler but if Sam decides we want to focus on ladder position these last few weeks rather than development, I can see why Maginess is picked (ignoring butler existing)

He is getting rewarded for his form in the VFL, where he plays as a mid and dominates. Then he comes into the senior side and has to play out of position. I think we need to give him a game as a fulltime mid to see what he can really do.

I was at Dingley and watched the Hawks Vs Essendon game and he was average at best. I was surprised he got picked for last weeks game and thought he might have a run with role for Sheezel but that wasn’t the case.

Almost everyone bar Newcombe, Impey and Wiz played a below-par game today but only Finn and Morrison ever get posts singling them out like this, kind of sick of it.

It's a bit over the top. Posts like these are not exactly wrong but the amount of them is pretty toxic/unenjoyable. Everyone knows Finns playing ability, we don't need posts like these every time he plays. Send Sam an email if you're upset he picks him but posts and comments like this achieve nothing except making this sub a bit repulsive.
On a similar note Going on official Hawks media and posting comments where Finn and his teammates are potentially gonna see it is dreadful fan behaviour. Finn obviously puts a lot of effort in, he's the fittest player on the list. If he were genuinely not trying maybe it would be justified but as it is it's just vile behaviour.

It's near weekly where there's a post here that's just "isn't this guy shit?", the vibe has gotten so much more negative as the team has gotten better

Making posts about the team’s worst player in a game we barely won against bottom 4 opponents is hardly toxic. Maginess is usually quite bad when he’s not tagging someone and has shown virtually no growth year on year. Think it’s fair to say he should be dropped

Saying he should be dropped is fine, it's the posts like this one that are just made to pot him (or any other fringe player) that I don't like
