Preview 2024 Semi Final : Port v Hawks, AO 7:10pm Friday 13th Sept

[wahawk]

Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but anyone know the specifics for Hawthorn AFL members in terms of:
-When to secure tickets through Hawthorn/Ticketek?
-If we use our AFL barcode or a Hawthorn one?
-Likelihood of sceruing tickets?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Enough examples of the top 4 side losing under all sorts of pressure , beating the coming off a big win 5-8 side the following week .

It won't be easy . Pretty sure we will be primed to give it our best shot .

No doubt but I don’t think there’s the traditional drop off in the bottom 4 this year (remember if the timekeeping in the Port v Hawthorn game wasn’t messed up Port would have have finished on the same points as Hawthorn). Throw in the players they’ll be missing from last time we met and the inclusion of the ones that we’ll have who didn’t - gee play to our potential and we win.

100% unchanged.

Finn, Harry and Wardy played well and hold their spots.

It's up to the blokes on the outer to wait their turn when the blokes in the best 22 deliver.

And those 3 absolutely delivered last night.

Breust 300
Dylan 100

We're not losing this.

They've really had enough haven't they

 

[killerspud]

ins Day, Mackenzie
outs Finn, Morrison

Tough on the outs but I thought Ward was the better of the 3.

I'd go unchanged. - We are in finals - you don't take players with even the slightest question mark into a final

Day would need at least another week

If we win then if he was 100 percent he would come in just because he is in our top 5 players. I feel for McKenzie and CJ but you can only replace people if they aren't doing the job - and the team were on fire yesterday

Not too much there on injury as you'd expect, but did find the snippet about Battle telling Lloyd that a selling point to coming to the Hawks was Mitchell telling Battle he could make him a better player very interesting.

They've really had enough haven't they

They certainly have. Ken better have his plane tickets booked for Friday night. Teeth or no teeth the port fans will be eat him alive after the game, his best chance is to sneak out at 3/4 time or earlier.

Time to fill up the hill with Wizard hats.. hawks cheer squad will be at the end correct?

 

[Geead]

The only team that really worried me was the Bulldogs. I don’t want to sound over confident but until the Cats I think we match up the rest of the teams very well. And even when it comes to the cats I think lessons have been learned and we can take them on the G.

Not saying it’s a sure thing but we could be on here, we may still have some big performances to come this year.

Who stops the Hok?

I'm also a bit worried on GWS at Giants stadium if they beat Sydney. Would rather face Sydney at the SCG in a Prelim, but 1 game at a time.

 

[Millsie69]

If there are any Hawks members willing to share their membership barcode with me, I’d be greatly appreciative!

Hoping to bring a few anti-Port mates who are more than willing to wear Hawks gear for the cause!

Anyone else think we should rest
Brooost to play his 300th in the
Grand Final ?

 

[palmomagpie]

Hey all, Adelaide Hawk here; immensely keen to see the final next week (and the AFLW team on Sunday too whilst I’m at it). How does the ticketek situation work? If I jump on at 9.30 is there a queue for 30 minutes or does it just lock you out until they’re available + do our member barcodes put us around other hawks or is it free for all? Keen to take my young lad along for his first final and don’t want to miss out!

 

[Agent Smith]

Do we change up our key defensive positions?

Hey, who am I to argue with Corporal Hicks?

 

[Stratton_Gun]

As much as I like McKenzie he's not good enough to be an automatic inclusion if fit like Day is. Also wouldn't want to risk his hammy after only 7 days break.

Not sure if Day will be fit. Before last night I was cagey on Ward but honestly he was great and couldn't knock him. Happy to give Day another week if he's not 90% which he probably won't be.

If he is fit though it may be Maginness who makes way. Didn't necessarily do anything wrong but Ward was better and it would be out of those 2.

Bad luck for CJ but without BH playing I would think he is done for the year barring injury

 

[TylerDurden]

It's looking like no change.

 

[toomanysquibs]

I'm big on Mackenzie playing if he's fit, but Ward stays if he isn't.

Ideally we'd play both, but I can't see Finn going out unless CJ was fit and in great touch.

Harry earning his spot.

 

[Geead]

I love the fact that we are back to the situation of 1 soldier out 1 soldier in to replaced, our depth is becoming great

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

The preview thread on the port board is hilarious.

 

[DogDaySonny]

 

[SJT76]

Real pity Box Hill lost. Hard to see where CJ and Frenchie are going to prove they deserve a spot ahead of Ward, Finn and Harry. Day comes in when he’s fit though

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Will Butters play?

I know he was "sore" but surely you don't sub off at half time if that's all it is.

If he's out that would match Day being out

Theyve said bruised ribs. Test.

If he does play I have faith that crash and bash will exacerbate the condition
