Summary Hawthorn have won over the doubters with an exciting brand of football that has lifted them into the top two. Their powerful forward line and hard-working midfield are proving too much for most teams to handle, although tall forward Tim Boyle (hamstring) will be sorely missed. The Crows will have the advantage of their home ground but it's questionable if they have the personnel. And there are plenty of injury concerns for the Crows with Andrew McLeod, Simon Goodwin and Brent Reilly all under clouds.
Key A battle between Lance Franklin and Ben Rutten could well be match-defining.

Adelaide vs Hawthorn Rd:14 Saturday Night.

Must win game for the Crows.
Adelaide is the only club in the top eight that Hawthorn hasnt yet beaten.
Crows have named Brett Burton back in their team.
Possible matchups include: Campbell Brown-Brett Burton, Brad Sewell-Mark Riccuto, Shane Crawford and Andre McLeod could go head to head on Hawthorn's forward flank.
And the big question is, will Rutten or McGregor match up on Lance Franklin?

All thoughts are welcome.

Re: Adelaide vs Hawthorn Rd:14 Saturday Night.

I think it'll be McGregor. Rutten's good but is best in straight lines and might not have the agility off the line for Franklin. Having said that, maybe McGregor won't either!

If the Hawks can play with the intensity that they've had over the past 2 games, then I think that they are a very good chance. AAMI is a good ground to play on if you aren't afraid to run - those pockets are deep. Hawks have been running well.

I'm a bit worried that they could be a bit flat after the Pies game and that the Crows will be desperate to win this one.

With the injuries to the Crows, I'll stick my neck out and say Hawks by 18.

Another throw the hands in the air game imo.

I really dont know who will win , apart from admiring Hawthorns form and thinking all they have to do is replicate that and they will win. Then again the AFC will know they wont win a shootout so it will be ugly.

As long as ugly wins for the Crows and they get the 4 points.. I dont care

Hawks by 24 points or Crows by 7 points

 

[Cuzz09]

Adelaide by 14 points.

Similar to the Adelaide Vs Sydney game from earlier in the year.

 

[Supahodge]

Given WC have the Lions.

Hawks will have to absolutely murder the Crows to stay in 2nd spot

 

[PoidaCat]

Hopefully Adelaide over Tasmania

This could quite possibly be the most boring match ever

Given WC have the Lions.

Hawks will have to absolutely murder the Crows to stay in 2nd spot

On the 07/07/2007 the Hawks to win by 7 Goals with 7 different kickers.
What are the odds on that?

 

[kimirocks]

Adelaide have their backs against the wall. Pretty much similar to round 2 against the Doggies. 3 key ins this week.

Adelaide will win. 23 points.

Unfortunately I have to work, so no watching this one.

 

[ICanDressMyself]

Adelaide by 48 points.

 

[SMFC1874]

similar to the sydney hawthorn game last month. low scoring but hawthorn to win by 10

 

[Hawkthorn]

Adelaide by 48 pffff you'll be lucky if you win, anyways I gotta stay up til 5 am just to listen to the game

 

[KWAH FAN]

[bunky]

[Hodges]

Goodwin will, I think Burton will struggle though

 

[f4gp4nts]

Goodwin will, I think Burton will struggle though

luckily he just has to hang in the forward 50 pulling goals out his arse then isnt it

 

[Footy Matt]

Come on the Hawks. I love seeing them doing well this year, unexpected but very refreshing. Plus they're playing Adelaide.

Hawthorn in a close one, 9 points.
