Game Day Hawks v Eagles, 1.45pm @ MCG

[Dixie Flatline]

Not a pleasant morning right now. Hopefully an enjoyable afternoon.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Very pleasant morning here, pumped for a surprise Saturday match, did the AFL run out of Sunday 3:20 time slots?
Carn Hawks.

 

[Brishawk]

Very pleasant morning here. I’ll be snorkling on the reef off of the Whitsundays coast most of the day so won’t be watching the footy

Go hawks!

 

[MitchHomieQuan]

Not raining here in Hawthorn although the forecast is bleak... will be wet and scrappy for sure. Actually pretty keen for this game even if it’s just to see how Ollie and co go.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Keen for the pub at 1130am for some pre game beers and laughs with that lads, then off to the G, think we'll be competitive today but won't be good enough to get the W.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Its weathering here atm and will be having a few schooners of our local brewers fresh raspberry sour before the game.
Miserly defense and an attacking forward line please

 

[TylerDurden]

Annoying. Was going to take the kids, but not if they're going to get drenched in the 15 min walk to the gates.

Get the W Hawks. Been too long now.

 

[Hodginator]

Get the feeling Worpel is going to let rip today.

Go hawks!

It's beautiful down here in Melbourne, missing out big time.

 

[In2theWild]

Just thought I'd enquire again seeing nobody could assist last night in the preview thread

 

[Jaeger]

Rug up and get to the G today Hawkas!

Eagles won't like these conditions.

 

[Lawsy]

Rain, hail or shine, looking forward to going to a game at the G again. Expecting our intensity to be high and the conditions to suit us so hoping our small forwards come to the fire.

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

got a good feeling about today, one i rarely have about this current hawks team. only other time ive felt like this is before the GWS game.

Bastard.
Stuck at the local game today with my boy on canteen duties. The best the local club can do is a Furphy's or Great Northern.
Raspberry Sour on tap.
Jealous.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Can see Darling squib a few today if it comes up wet, come on, Dimma, Worps or Big Boy.
Make it happen.

 

[PT Bar None]

Supposed to tinkle down this afternoon...
Didn't realise Rough was injured.

At this stage I'll be there. I'm just going to imagine the fair weather.
Go Hawks

 

[Burtman]

I’m kind of torn atm, think we are a decent chance of knocking them off today, but don’t want us to finish mid table and screw up our fixture and draft picks.

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Spewing that I can't make it today but I'll be cheering the lads on.

Carn the hawks!

 

[RobHawk]

Today is a small but necessary part of the trajectory to our next piece of silverware. Testing our 5 under 22 players in Nash, Glass,Moore,Worpel and Hanrahan at the G against the reigning premiers will help answer a few questions about our future.An honorable loss would satisfy me. Despite the implications of our draft position, a win would be even better.

 

[WWSD]

Dear Gunston, Breust and Smith. Please return to the 2018 All-Australian form.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Is it wrong that I want us to be really competitive..................









But still lose?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

These Perth boys are really going to enjoy this weather.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Anyone here 50/50 about going today please get down there! I know the weather is ordinary but with poor crowd figures we are just going to get shafted royally with the fixture next year. The AFL are trying to get as many MCG games away from us as they can, so it’s important to keep at it.

I'll be going because I go to every Hawks game in Melbourne. But for those of who are unsure, surely the 32 emails from the club in the past week should motivate you? Heck, I even got a text message from the great Al Clarkson himself!
