Game Day Round 1, 2023: Hawthorn v Essendon, MCG 3.20pm

[CaptainWorpedo]

The thing i really like about the Hawks of 2023 is we have options all over the ground.

If a player is having an off day or a set play isnt working we can mix it up, as we have given ourself plenty of options on and off the field.

Our midfield excites me, Ward, MacDonald and McKenzie is going to add a lot of support to Newcombe, Worpel, Day, Maginness, Amon and Morrison.

Go Hawks

Really want this one after we capitulated against them last year. No 2MP and Stringer makes up for no Lewis for us. A few of their mids are underdone and on a hot day that could work in our favour.

Would love to see Kosi and Greene stand up and the mids to make them pay the other way. Finn to Parish.

Expecting one or more of Duke, Worps, Ward or Amon to have a massive game. Good luck to Frenchie on debut.

Go Hawks!

Go Hawks,

I just don’t want to lose to these drug cheating scum ever.

Let’s honour our 1983 premiership team with a win.

Actually, they usually do.

 

[MinerBoy]

Shat the bed against these blokes last year after having them on toast. Rebuilding or not, I reckon we should be getting the win here.

will determine how this game goes for us.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

James Worpel will determine how this game goes for us.

Honestly if we are putting our faith into worps to decide the outcome, we are in trouble

 

[Judd2Sewell]

James Worpel will determine how this game goes for us.

Just needs to play his role.

 

[hawkheart]

I want to see the fruits of our work with Burgo. Either run away from them or run over them in the last in what will likely up ‘til then be a close game.

Nash sub

Makes the most sense

Makes the most sense

More sense than the other mob. They wouldn't want an early injury and Tippa has to play the whole game

Sub : Nash for us

Is Hardwick expected to play as a defender?

If so, which of McDonald or Ward would you expect to spend time forward (if any)?
