Game Day R6: Crows v Hawks 2021 Tasmania

[GROTTO]

Sorry I havent started a gameday thread in years. I got excited.

Lets get some Hawk on our fork.

May today also be the start of a very long and successful career (with us lol) for Riley Thilthorpe in his debut game for the Crows.

 

[Scorpus]

Two of our nemesis combine. Tasmania and Hawthorn. A formidable duo that individually test us greatly but together are deadly.

Get in, give the kids experience, get out

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

With a big enough win, the worst Crows team in history could end the round in 3rd.

Think about THAT.

Hawks by 20

 

[CrowinNT]

Really pleased with our selections.
Looking forward to watching the game

Glorious weather here. And funnily enough no wind! Not expecting a win but hoping for the continued effort. Looking forward to seeing TT and Hately in the flesh.

I have woken early due to the excitement of the traditional sunday lunch tussle with the Launceston Hawks (almost as big as the Tuesday twilight clashes).

IMHO there are three possible results;
Crows prevail in a very tight clash
Hawks get up in a close one
We get slaughtered.

I expect the Hawks to run over us in the last quarter for an easy win but....I’m telling you, we’re a chance.

In all seriousness here, I genuinely believe this is the best result for the Club has taken place last night, I hope we win, but as long as we dont get pumped by the Hawks, getting games into players and dumping underperforming players having importantly giving them a decent run to establish and prove themselves, shows we are moving with an upward trajectory with the development of the team and the betterment of the Club in the medium to long term future.

three out of the five possible actual results, wow

 

[flashcrow]

We have only played at the ground 4 times.




Here are teams the last time we played at that ground (way back in 2010).

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

I think the coaches are starting to overcome the new rule changes.

Which is why we’ve looked a bit crap the last few weeks and Sydney are starting to turn bad as well.

Clarko is the zen master at this. Add in Tasmania and I think it’s gonna be an ugly game.

I get around

Well I think there is a better than average chance of a draw so four out of five.

Are you suggesting that I should have just said, a big win to the Crows is out of the question?

 

[GROTTO]

Its time for GameDay Breakfast.

Lets see what Mr Uber whats to bring me for this morning.

 

[betterthanu]

I expect to win by 50+ or lose by 50+ with nothing inbetween possible. Tasmania is a cursed place for us but we have brought a Tasmanian this time to offer as a sacrifice so who knows

 

[GROTTO]

A lot of "firsts" with us playing the Hawks.

First ever game, First ever win, First ever 10+ goal win, First Home Win, First Finals win etc etc etc.

Our historical first ever Finals game and win, all rolled into one.

I watched that game whilst concussed , having been hit with a hockey stick in a grand final earlier that morning. (Was not supposed to be watching TV). That Liptak goal was just the best!!!

I've gotten as close as Port Fairy to support the boys, hope they appreciate my effort.

I agree with this. Clarko will want this.

We've been competitive in every game so far. Something I didn't expect. Hawks by 15 points.

No, i’m just laughing that for all your supposed FOOTBALL knowledge you were able to CULL the list of possible outcomes from five to FOUR

Me too. I don't like the structure and resultant lack of forward line pressure, but that's secondary to making the right decisions on getting games into inexperienced players. And canning injured seniors. Will be watching Tex closely though. Calves and older types are a bit of an issue.

Interestingly, Liptak was the first and most definitely the last player that will ever be able to become a doctor and specialize as an Orthopaedic surgeon.

Crows to win in a close one
Walker to kick 3+
Bruest to kick 2+
McAdam & Thilthorpe anytime goal scorers
Crows to lead at quarter time
Seedsman and Keays 20+disposals
Mitchell & Laird 25+ disposals

simples

No.

I'm 1 from 5 lifetime in hockey grand finals.
