Huge game.
Both in form, returning Stringer and Hogan. Though worried they will be a step behind everyone else as it’s their first game of the year.
Hope for a win. Giants by a goal.

 

[parsons nose]

Game of the year to date.

 

[JackFlash]

The two best teams in it are going at it early, but i go the Giants by 10 points

 

[Cam Payne]

Any snow forecast? Hawks by 7 points.

 

[voorhees]

big boys game
this should be a arm wrestle clash
can't wait for this

 

[RedWhite4Ever]

Should be a belter and I hope it's not a fizzer! Hawks by 12 points.

I think the shortcut in the announcements is broken, goes to a different match.

Potential grand final pre view these 2.

Only to be played at tin arse ground down at lawny.

Close as this match.

I am on the fence tipping a draw.

Other then that GWS win by 3 points

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Giants bring back half a team this week, Hawks still a few weeks away from being full strength.

Giants should be able to roll the Hawks.

How many Hawks missing?

 

[Zevon]

Green and Callaghan vs Day and Newcombe could be worth the price of admission alone.

I enjoy watching both these teams. Heart leans slightly towards the Giants but head leans slightly towards the Hawks.

Hope it’s a ripper.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

How many Hawks missing?

Worpel, MacDonald, Scrimshaw, Lewis, Dear

So true

Hogan is a big in, as long as he isn't returning in Curnow level conditioning.

They are "bringing back" Stringer (cheeky to classify it as such), a lazy footballer even Essendon didn't want.

Who else?

Edit: Briggs, Daniels and some suspendees. That's a lot of players who won't be as match conditioned as the Hawks.

Tough game to call. I still think Hawthorn are a better side.

Daniel's is still a 50/50 from what I have heard. This will also be our biggest break from all matches this season.

Flashback to last year's thriller...hope we hold on this time though.

Agreed, very surprised this wasn't scheduled at the G given our recent history with the orange team.

That said, at least it's not an away game up at the Showground Stadium, we've never beaten them there once.

Giants should be able to roll the Hawks.

Last 4 games between the two have all been thrillers, dating back to early 2023 when Hawthorn were at their lowest.

This is a genuine 50/50 contest.

Won't be surprised to win and won't be surprised to lose, full strength or not.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Flashback to last year's thriller...hope we hold on this time though.

Both games last year were game of the year contenders. The first one is a bit forgotten about it because of the timeslot, and because nobody knew if we were a genuine threat yet.

Without Worpel, we’ve been on the negative side of the clearances last two weeks, but we played sides that don’t have the class to capitalize.

The Giants are a completely different scenario..
