Game Day Hawks vs Saints - game day discussion

[grizzlym]

Go at it here, people.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Nice day down here.

 

[S Lawrence]

How bout that O'Rourke? Jeez he"s garbage

 

[cryptor]

Anyone reckon Lovell will get his debut? I reckon Hodge will play but we could still have a late out.

 

[LuckyHawk]

HomerJayS, you missed my point, I was referring to Hawk fans unreasonable heightened expectations of JOR being a no.2 pick in a weak draft
which maybe equates to a no.10 pick in a stronger draft. Nothing to do with his actions after he arrived.

Nice day down here.

How odd. I heard it's always cold, wet and windy in Tasmania. Even in the summer.

[Off The Couch]

Don't think they can be underestimated. Just as it was with the doggies, their pace is going to hurt and Gibbo out is huge - controls so much of the play. Also going to miss Schoey in the forward line - I love the way he goes about smashing the packs to give opportunity to our small forwards.
I'm also really disappointed that OR isn't playing - really think he needed to be shown some faith

Love that Clarko is going with the kids this year.

He continues to build for the future and that's why he will win us more premierships.

Please Brand in.

Me too, I think we may see more "soreness" of the older players this year to keep them fresh for finals and give the kids more experience.

Can't wait to see Howe again and hope he has a good game!! Like others have said can't underestimate them at all any margin win I'll be happy with just very important to start season ahead so a 3-1 start is vital for our year!

What time to they have to announce late changes by? 12?

Hour before first bounce I think.

Hopefully Howe and Duryea can step up to cover Gibbo. Howe with his intercept marking and ability to create play, and Duryea with his fearless spoiling and rebounding.

Re JOR out - he'll work on stuff and likely have another go later in the year. Langers was in and out of the team in 14 (people kind of forget that....)

Love that Howe is in.

Lovell in might be interesting but not sure who might have "soreness"

Sammy?

How many kids this year? Such great development at our club

Go Timmy O'. The last O apostrophe player got sent to the twos - DON'T LET ME DOWN!!

 

[grumbleguts]

There is a 23 on the field.

That in itself is worth ten goals.

 

[Hawkinspired]

Saints are much improved but I couldn't be more confident going into this game. We haven't lost at Aurora since 2010 and our average win is over ten goals.

Round 5 2012 v Sydney our last loss there.

Must have missed one. Nonetheless an incredible record down there.

 

[H2F]

My prediction for the game has two surprises:

1) O'Brien will kick 3+ and surprise

2) Howe will have his best game for the club

3) This game will be a nail biter ... Well not for me I've already chewed off most of mine thinking about it.

Go the Hawks!!!

Hate the Swans

Good to see TOB in but for the life of me can't see how he stays in. Our forward line is quite young in age, there will be no retirements anytime soon
unlike our mids and backs.If he can force his way in all credit to him but Shoey and Sicily are ahead atm in the pecking order.

 

[Kuuz]

Would love to see Lovell get a run, just to see how he fares this early in his career. Has played some good games for Box Hill so far

 

[madhawksfan]

Win and no casualties. Go Hawks.

Ummm Roughy is injured, Franklin a traitor, Shoey injured and so he gets a go.

He stays in if he's good enough ...

Let's just wait and see?
