Preview Hawthorn versus Melbourne Nab Cup Round 3 Sat March 10th 5.40pm

[BaliHawk]

Yep. And given both the Crows/Eagles haven't travelled outside their state during the NAB, more than likely a Melb final.

the only way it will be played at Etihad is if a Melbourne team is in the final, if not it WILL be played either at Patterson Stadium or AAMI Stadium.

 

[Hungry Hawk]

Personally, i will be happy if the boys watch the NAB GF on the tele.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Only 12,000 at AAMI last night to see the Crows smash the Pies. No chance the GF will be in Adelaide, the AFL want a big crowd. Game will be in Perth if Weagles get through and Etihad if they don't, IMO.

I can't see the crowd being that much bigger if Adelaide were playing in Victoria, maybe 20,000? They'd probably get that much at home with silverware on offer.

Still a 50/50 proposition IMO.

Disgraceful from buddy this early in the season

 

[Tulip]

Well this is fun

 

[grizzlym]

A brisk start...

Who is J Kelly - anyone able to supply mini bio

A tallish, as in not quite key position height, back flanker type. We were very happy when we snagged him in the draft this year. Looks a natural defender.

 

[Agent Smith]

My DeLorean seems to have me stuck in 1988.

 

[DrParrot]

that was an ordinary decision... they are off the mark now

 

[Axle17]

I've just realised. rioli is so nimble, he can play keepie off against a whole team by himself.

 

[Flamin Joe]

What's the go with Hodgey? His kicking lately has been horrendous.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Score? Info? Anything!?

Reading the board for updates!

Hawks - 8.2. 50

Melb - 2.5. 17

Out playing Melbourne pretty well. A few silly mistakes here and there but all in all we are doing well.

 

[DrParrot]

Hawks had a massive first quarter and were on everything... pretty ordinary so far in the second

Hawks 50 Melbourne 17


EDIT: Dubz beat me to it

 

[Dubz]

Buddy kicks a nice shank for a goal.

Trying to be too cute/playing on at all costs in the 2nd. Just need to keep it simple and stick to the game plan.

 

[Tulip]

Umpires have been pretty shocking, still losing too convincingly to blame them

 

[Axle17]

Yeh umps don't know what they're doing today.

 

[Hawkers]

Young has had his best game for a while. He has used his right foot for a few of his kicks as well. More than serviceable on it as well

hawks - 58
dees - 18

 

[Off The Couch]

Tbh they have been a bit disappointing since the first 20 minutes of the game. Being cute and because of that skills are now off kilter as is I presume the game plan - clarko should be peeved
