Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 11 - 15

[Accidental genius]

Hawthorn are garbage.

I expect us to smack them (sans Sicily) by 70 points next week and finals hopes back on track

I’m no where near as confident. Will be rapt if we can just get the win.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

So far this season teams returning from the bye are 0 V 7 against teams that played the previous week.......

Have to defy a significant trend to beat the Dorks next week then.....

Sicily makes them at least a 3 goal better team (defensively)

We probably won't win by as much as I predict, but we should have too much talent and class to polish them off, fairly comfortably

Seems to me that on the surface that Hawthorn's (mostly) young kids are tiring out/fatiguing as the season progresses and we should take full advantage of it.

I like your optimism Elmer.
But I think it’s as likely of success as your rabbit hunting .

The whole game plan I think revolves around him.

Exactly with the exception of the Eagles, we're in no position to be overconfident against anyone.

I couldn't care less if we win by a last second behind, as long as we bank the four points.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Hawthorn are a bit bi-polar. Either very good or very bad. It's hard to see how they could beat us based on how they're playing today. There would be some sort of chance that we could beat ourselves though. The sun's have had 26 shots to 9 and that's a fair summary of the game.

The one that they're wearing is below average.

It's heaps better than their actual jumper though.

Proper capitulation from the Dawks here.

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

Hawks taking it easy resting up for us next week, hope the flight home has heaps of turbulence.

Collingwood and St Kilda both won post bye

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Yep, we’ll need to be wide awake next week! They will come at us in a pretty strong way imo

Can't believe they were allowed to have the same colored numbers got Mitchell Lewis and Rory Atkins mixed up all game LOL.

 

[TJohn]

100 point win next week, easy. We’re Back!

 

[Benaly28]

Collingwood and St Kilda both won post bye

Correct however both teams they played also had the bye.

0-9 I think now. That stat was a little before this round and the two teams off byes both lost.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

You may want to read my post, sure both The Pies and the Saints won after their bye, but the teams they both played were also coming off the bye!!
My point was that teams who come off the bye and played against a team that played the previous week , ALL HAVE LOST!!!

0-9 I think now. That stat was a little before this round and the two teams off byes both lost.

I believe it is now 0W and 8L when a team coming off the bye plays a team that isn't.

Correct. The only two teams that have won after the bye were StK and Coll who's opponents also came off the bye.

[RedFury]

Yep, no team that is coming off the bye in 2023 has beaten a team not coming off the bye (8 teams.)
