Game Day Round 1, 2020 - Hawthorn vs. Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

Well, it's an unusual first round isn't it?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

87-65

I'm only nervous because I'm currently perfect on tips and am sure to get one wrong (Saints, Lions, Eagles)

I know - when was the last time we kicked off at the MCG???

 

[MSB ROYS]

Finally. Go Lions!

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

They reckon on the TV (Matty Richo) that kicking for goal will be better without a crowd. Let's see what happens with our lot.

 

[Dalions]

Go you good things!
C’mon Lions we will all be watching.

Apparently the umpires in the games played have had a ‘hair trigger’ when it comes to defenders scragging forwards. Seems like one of those predetermined umpiring ‘crackdowns.’ This should be good for Charlie Cameron. I’m expecting Cam Rayner to have a big game today. This is going to be his season.

I reckon tall forwards are getting the benefit of it so far. Hopefully Charlie doesn't get left out.

Agreed. A matter of time before Rayner takes a game apart. He should benefit with shorter Qtrs also you would think.

Feels weird.

I'm watching of course but I'm unsure I'll be able to get to my usual fever pitch during the game, given the circumstances.

 

[Lace Out]

Did the start time change from 1520 to 1540 ?

 

[MacMum]

We better enjoy todays match as it could be the last one we see for a while.

 

[Section 5]

Yes and now it is 15.35 according to web site go figure

As soon as the game starts you will be fully immersed.

Yup moved to 15.35. God know why they would bother moving it by 5 minutes.

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Good challenge first up. We should have too much pace for the Hawks and cut them up on the big ground.

Can’t let them control the tempo.

GO LIONS

pushed back 15mins so it runs into the news.

Just my perception in the matches so far centre clearances seem more important. As above the umpires seem to have a hair trigger on the backs scragging the forwards and the quicker the ball gets down there and players are isolated the better look the umpires get. I think this helps us with a good midfield and fast forwards backman don't want to loose contact with. The game also seems a little faster, probably expected given it is squeezed up in time. I think this suits us also with the flexibility we haven the playing group and lack on injuries - yet. Todays equaliser will be if it rains and its a bit more wet footy.
