Preview Hawks vs Saints Sat 29 Apr 1:45pm at UniTAS stadium

[Rors]

Isn't Stevic notorious for paying Hawthorn big free kicks late in crucial games?

Stevic.... Yep, another Hawks supporter

 

[Joffaboy]

Umpires; Nick Foot, Matt Stevic, Justin Schmitt

No Stephen in sight. This one's got off to a good start.

Nick Foot is the worst umpire in the league.
Will murder us worse than Hawthorn supporting campaigner last year.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

What are hickey and longer % HO to advantage. I think some are overplaying this whole hickey can't tap argument.

Best I could fine was this

 

[StCicatriz]

That must've been hard for Richo

Has anyone checked on him? Or more importantly dunstan, rumour are he's seeking alimony

He's taken care of us before, so let's not crucify him just yet, let's be civilised and at least wait until the 5th minute of the first quarter to do that

 

[StCicatriz]

dunstan will be better for this, hopefully he smashes out 30+ possies every week in the vfl

This. He needs to own and lead the VFL side this week. Should treat it like he's captain. Show em what ya got.

He is genuinely incompetent

Most umpires have shockers and are ok or good the rest of the time

This guy is hopeless all of the time

Genuinely car crash stuff

 

[NarklesHelmet]

I hope Dunstan out means GOAT Acres gets more time in the midfield but have a feeling Richo will give Dunstan's minutes to Stevens. Either way I have a feeling the GOAT is ready to turn it on this weekend.

 

[Groater]

Yes, because recognising that the coach can make a mistake, equals that he should be sacked...

Not sacked, maybe just "managed"

 

[Ian Dunross]

This will be one of the few games where we have a better midfield than the opposition

Steven Ross Stevens w Acres, others in support is better than what the Hawks can dish up

 

[Louis Slungpue]

Stoked to see Sinc in the team. He has a shit load of talent. Only needs to find the footy 15 times to have a significant impact.

Hopefully Dunstan's omission sees Acres play more midfield.

**** that avatar is grouse campaigner

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Has anyone checked on him? Or more importantly dunstan, rumour are he's seeking alimony

I did see him with a boombox blasting ballards to richos bedroom window

 

[StFly]

Positive: No Cyril.
Positive: Jom in, just make him run and his knees will bruise and blow up within 5 mins because then they have to do something more strenuous than walking.
Positive: Sinclair gets a run.
Negative: It's in Tassie, it's a cursed ground of daemons.

All we need is for the footy gods to show some mercy and by golly gosh can we win this one.

add steele and thats a pretty big bodied midfield noice

 

[Rors]

FMD... We went close to losing that game didn't we!?!?

And then Gwilty handballing to Zac under pressure..... seriously WTF!?

I think he probably has to give it to Stevens because he really hasn't got another spot where as Acres. That is why most of the younger guys get less minutes on the ball. Actually they are mainly all on the ball anyway except for after a goal.

 

[CursingFijian]

He's taken care of us before, so let's not crucify him just yet, let's be civilised and at least wait until the 5th minute of the first quarter to do that

I think he was just taking the piss. He gave the kick to Dawson, I'm pretty sure he thought it would be a turnover...and it damn well nearly was!

 

[StCicatriz]

I did see him with a boombox blasting ballards to richos bedroom window

Geeze things really have taken a turn for the worst. Last year you'd walk by and smell the scented candles wafting from the window

 

[VDS66]

Well I thought it was funny...

Yes, because recognising that the coach can make a mistake, equals that he should be sacked...

 

[austinnn]

Happy for you to prove I said smashed otherwise it's again a worse story than Harry potters first root.

The expression LOL gets flagrantly used these days, but i literally laughed out loud when i read this zinger, quite embarrassing as i was reading it on my phone in the street at the time!

Good on ya Plugger!

 

[Quixote]

Stevic is pure campaigner.

 

[bennymc7]

If we are getting on top I hope the message goes out to sneaky Carlisle to creep forward and take a few grabs. With Membrey
not having as much dominance in the air this year and Bruce having to fly for marks with 2 or 3 opponents, Jakey could slither
forward and cause lots of problems for the Hawks defence. I´ve got confidence in Brown to keep Roughy in check with Robbo and Gilbert
cutting off their entries. Billings v Smith if they lineup on each other means Jack will need to lift his defensive skills and be prepared to run his guts out all day.Quick little bugger Smith is. I´m sure there is a plan to curb his run and carry. Should win this. Must win this. We better get a fair run with the umpires this time.

I think Newnes will run to the wing Isaac lines up on

 

[my name was taken]

He's taken care of us before, so let's not crucify him just yet, let's be civilised and at least wait until the 5th minute of the first quarter to do that

Didn't remember that incident until i heard Mooney whining and it all came flooding back to me

 

[bennymc7]

Interesting 500k a year Vickery named Emg.
Reckon if it turns out to be a dry weather day he comes in and not if wet.
Big Boy will have worn Longer out by half time unfortunately.
Need to manage better than we have and Bruce is on the nose in the ruck and spoils his fwd game at the same time.
Gilbert the new Blakey but harder tackler.

Keen to see what JOM and Titch can do in 2018.
Right now however, just hurt them please.
About now we need a Guerra running off the point of the square and clean their best mid up at first bounce.
Who in our team would do that now........ thinking........ thinking........ nup... no-one

Off the top of my head Newnes, Weller and Webster would relish the opportunity to bury anyone

Weller out of form and could maybe do with a week off
