Preview 2018 1st Semi Final: Hawthorn v Melbourne, 14 September 2018, 7.50pm @ MCG

[HODGEYROAD]

We are pretty much ****ed now, Melbourne with the superior ruckman and midfield.

 

[Hawks1994]

Looking back at some stats from Round 4;

- Gawn had 66 hitouts, but we had 17 more clearances
- We laid 113 tackles, 39 more than Melbourne and 20 inside 50 tackles to 8

These two are very important to replicate again against Melbourne. They like to win the contested ball and setup off the back of this. Our first quarter last week was fantastic, doing that for more than 25% of the game will be vital though

 

[JoeHawk]

We’re screwed. We’ll get slaughtered in the centre. TOM can’t do it alone.

 

[Wundo]

Raise the bat? What does that even mean?

Jaeger was BOG so we won't be replicating that again.

Seriously HFC who gives a rats arse.. can't wait for the spin we get on Jags.

cricket reference - Raise the bat when you get a 50

Ch 9 - "Huge selection bombshell at the Hawks"

 

[Harper_Hawk]

We'll still belt them with JOM out!
Trust.

Why the **** are we referencing cricket?

Marketing ploy by the club, soften the masses up with a rubbish positive only to hit us with the Jags is out tweet... then we'll get Jacks comedic update that "Jags just had a bit hip and abductor tightness and didn't quite get up this week"

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

What the hell, why would you not bring in another mid to replace him?

 

[Xtreme]

JOM OUT. FEEEERRRRREKKKKK

Will Langford will save us!!

Or it is a social media post to congratulate a player on a milestone for the club...

Someone should be sacked over that.

Pop the champers

Jaeger was BOG so we won't be replicating that again.

And Shiels had 31 and 14 tackles. Absolutely no reason why we can't do it again. Games aren't won by one player anyway, I've got faith that the boys can get the job done

 

[MadDawg]

Great, we picked a super conservative team

That always works out well

Jack won't need to do a BUPA as we won't have a game next week.

 

[threesixpio]

Am I right in thinking Duryea was playing in the midfield at Box Hill two weeks ago?
