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

[Bearded Clam]

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

I refused to watch AFL footy for a few years after it..

I was there. Also never been so mad at a game of footy. Shameful umpiring.

Yeah, that free kick against Rutten to Buddy was explosion worthy.

"Ben, he had his arms around your head, you can't allow that, against you for deliberate out of bounds fighting after someone put you in a headlock"

 

[johnnypanther]

Ahhh Hawks at the G.

Memories.

#freekickhawthorn

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

So many good times.

Seems to be a common theme for us .... especially in finals.

Was about to post exactly that but didn't because I thought there'd be an echo in here.

Great, I’ll be singing that all day now!

So many good times.

I remember feeling so shit after that game, Hawks were coming to the end of their dynasty and we should have won that.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Will be at this one. Don’t think I’ve seen us win at the G (in person) since 2016 vs Blues, so can’t say I’m confident

Hopefully this one’s a streak snapper, like the Blues game

 

[Alwaysacrow]

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

Subbing Soligo was the perfect time to do it. He should be very fresh for today's important game.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Just can't see us winning this today...

They will make us look very slow and cut us up in the midfield. Especially with no Sir Izak.

Sicilly to have a herculean Tom Stewart-esque game as well.

 

[glengowan]

We should win easily if we are seriously on the rise.

No win at the MCG since July 1, 2017. I was at the game earlier that season where we beat the Hawks on the MCG. Puopolo took a hanger right in front of me. Right in front of me.

Win this one. Put away Richmond. Then the season starts to get serious either side of the bye against Sydney and GWS.

Lose this and planning for next year should start straight away.

I think that'll happen too, but reckon we'll score our share as well.

I think you're underating Hawks recent form a bit. Any win here will be a pretty good outcome. Agree with last sentence, but we know our method of planning for next year is continuing to focus solely on winning games this year. We look no further ahead than that, never have.

I was 50/50 on my tip, then thought Nicks vs Mitchell

Tipped Hawks

 

[GreyCrow]

4 weeks ago this was a permanent marker win

Now I'm not so sure. I think we are better than Hawthorn but its at the MCG where the last one we won there was when - checks notes - Bryce Gibbs playing for Carlton and Mitch McGovern

2015 elimination final for me, hoping that changes today! Gunston 250th worries me

 

[dogs105]

Crows by eleventy one points

I was 50/50 on my tip, then thought Nicks vs Mitchell

Tipped Hawks

The same Mitchell that switched their best forward into the backline and lost a game in the wet when 41 points up deep in the 3rd? That coach?

I wouldn't say "easily" given our outs, we are only slightly favourite with the bookies.

Nicks will have a plan for Sicily

 

[taurus]

Two games this round featured a Captain's performance.

Tex to kick 3. Two probably in the last qtr.

 

[Apsaalooke]

Nicks will have a plan for Sicily

He plans to holiday there once he's sacked at the end of the season

The same coach that also admitted that mistake and corrected the next week.
