Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[TheGoatBaron]

That’s an insane finish for a country game. 7-goal breeze to one end

 

[Ticky009]

Carlton are 0-9 in finals played outside of Melbourne

It’s time they got to work according to their president apparently. Nothing quite like Carlton people getting ahead of themselves.

Mondays usually suck.

Exceeeeeept

The dogs are out, the dogs are out, the dogs are out, the dogs are out.

Who let the dogs out, hawks,hawks,hawks,hawks.

September is such a delightful month.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Spilt my coffee this morning, not a great start to the day.

Then I remembered - the Dogs are eliminated, out, not contesting, can’t be premiers. I instantly felt better.

JHWF - petty but principled.

 

[ShireSwan]

Dawks will surely flog Port tonight given their injuries and Butters prob not at his best too.

Then Ken will be let go, and likely sign with the Eagles where he'll coach 2 years while they restock and then someone else will see them through to contending or regressing.

Feel like it's going to be the other way around. I still don't think the Hawks are actually as good as what their performances are reflecting. The best teams have constantly fallen over and i think the Hawks have just ridden that wave of luck and momentum. If they manage a win tonight, i think we put them away by 70 next week.

They simply can't be that much better now than what they were last year + until round 5 this season.

I hope we play them as I think surely they'll hit the wall at some stage given what they've had to do all year whereas we should be primed to run and run the game out.
They do seem a KPD short now too...so helleilulah one of our KPFs might even kick a few.
I'd gladly take a non heart health threatening 26 point win, easing up in the fourth. While GW Nobodies & Geelong Cotton Ons bash each other all day in the other game.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Can anyone see Geelong replicating their last week form for 2 more games ? Last week was their best form of the year.

Personally, think we’ve seen their best. We’ve also seen GWS’ best.

I think our complete 4Q performance is coming on September 28.

 

[seysearles]

Who are swans supporters going for in this game? If you look at home and away form it has to be Hawthorn. Just saying

I'm torn.

I have a soft spot for Port, but also want Hinkley sacked.

My brother (was a Hawks fan as a kid) and a Hawks friend of his mostly, were knobs after the 2014 GF, so I'd prefer to avoid having to play them.

If Port can get up but then we annihilate them and Hinkley is sacked, that's the best outcome.

But Port getting flogged and us just getting the job done next week is also good.

Hawks probably worry me more in a prelim though.

None of the remaining possible games will be easy. Each potential opponent has distinctive strengths and shortcomings. To get through we'll need to be at or close to our best for any of them.

 

[Ballarat Bob]

Port to win I think just so the Sack Hinkley thread goes on for another year. Surely he can't get sacked if he makes a prelim final ?

It hasn't mattered what Hinkley gets the team to do or not do, he never gets sacked.

 

[swanssince2002]

Either way, bigfooty is going to go crazy.

Port lose, the Sack Hinkley thread is going to be breaking its own record which was post the Brisbane game

Reckon you'll win in anycase.
But the day I'm "going for" Hawthorne is the day pigs fly in my window and hand me a winning powerball ticket.

 

[Nuggetz]

Tough to pick but I think Hawk's form & energy gets them over the line tonight. Might be too much pressure for Port with the Hinkley saga & getting smashed last week. 1st quarter will be intense.

 

[Dangas]

Just here in Adelaide seeing all the Dawks fans walking around all arrogant. Jeez a part of me would like to see them lose, which unfortunately I am doubting

 

[Millky95]

Dixon a late out. No shocked

 

[Dan87]

Probably Port but let's see

 

[Ballarat Bob]

Dixon out helps Port ....he did a lot of nothing last time out

Think Port are broken so hopefully you bash the hell out of each other and they somehow scrape across the line

The greatest success of Hinkley's career is avoiding getting sacked every time he's on the verge of getting sacked. Now you've reminded me of that I might change my tip to Port
