Game Day Hawthorn vs Adelaide at the MCG, Rnd 12 - Do or Die

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Crunch time.

If the Crows are any chance of putting their 0-4 start behind them then this is a must win game.

With previous must win games under Nicks we've seemingly tensed up, started poorly and only eventually spluttered to life after half time in a futile comeback. Need to start strong and rise to the occasion rather than shy away.

Fun fact: Jono Beech played in our last win at the MCG.

What the ****, you’re joking right?

 

[FR0GGY]

Hawks at the MCG, the stuff of nightmares

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What the ****, you’re joking right?

No joke

A strong start is a must

 

[Samcro24]

What the ****, you’re joking right?

And Bob Hawke was prime minister

Did Jono Beech kick 5 in the first qtr?

 

[George CantStandYa]

And Bob Hawke was prime minister

But were we a banana republic yet?

 

[Samcro24]

I tipped hawthorn without hesitation, and with utmost confidence.

Then again, I was the same when we played Carlton.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Honestly can’t believe it’s been that long since we won at the G.

I’ve actually had a decent run of seeing wins except for the 2017 GF, reckon you all fly me over

 

[CrouchPotato]

Jono Beech, far away in time.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Will be a tough game. It has the potential to be anything. The problem with expectation to win after a slow start to the season can come flat performances and we have a squad full of players who are inconsistent.

I am on the fence for this one. I think we are good enough to win and win well, but so are Hawthorn.

Mate, you can't say things like this without me literally turning into a skeleton upon reading it.

 

[footy4ever]

I'm here in Melbourne. I'll do my best with some cutting vitriol directed at Hawks players and umpires.

Don't underestimate the sting of my words.


Crows by 20+

Last MCG win against Hawthorn.

EDIT: Wow, he's right , Beech played in the round 15 2017 match vs Carlton at the MCG. Our last MCG win. We also beat Hawthorn at the MCG in Round 2 that year. His match vs Hawthorn was a loss at home in round 14.

Lid is bubbling..

 

[1970crow]

I was surprised bookie odds were something like $1.65 to $2.25 a week ago, noe $1.85 to $1.95 which must better reflects the contest. I feel we could lose by as much as 20 points but win by as much as 40-50. If I was forced to bet, weather permitting, I'd bet on a high scoring game.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Either we lose in another heartbreaker or we win by 6-7 goals no real In between

Dawson to rip them up, Soligo to have a blinder showing our idiot coach don’t sub me again

I remember that game. It was like pulling teeth. Sealed with a classic Josh Jenkins Joe the Goose iirc.

Edit: nope, he actually kicked one from outside 50 to seal it

The Carlton game? That's a good memory. I've wiped 2017 from my brain.

 

[baldandbroke]

Ahhh Hawks at the G.

Memories.

#freekickhawthorn

Remember that 2016 game we lost on a Friday night - then the next year Puopolo got that free … etc etc

So many good times.

I’ve never been as mad as the 2012 Preliminary Final game

AFL didn't want us going into the GF with Tippett. Glad we outperformed Hawthorn but didn't make the final ultimately.

Only time I've genuinely wandered whether errors were deliberate.

 

[taurus]

I'm about fly to Melbourne for this game.

It will be a cracking start. Both teams to attack.

Goal kicking for the Hawks can be mixed so the Crows to finish strongly.

Go the Crows!
