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

[Hawks1994]

Gonna be a very interesting contest. Two teams with not a lot expected of them could genuinely swing in any old direction

I'm just hoping we play our brand of footy, winning or losing, and we see glimpses into the future throughout the game

If we see positive signs out there I'll certainly be happy (even happier with a big win tho)

 

[Randy Campbell]

Are we there yet?

 

[Max Powers]

The lines are ****ing ridiculous getting into the game.

 

[LegendLewis]

Carn the HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Brant]

I think Meek using his body will be really important. Though I'm worried that Reeves' lack of a physical presence will make it much harder for our youngsters.

They're only playing 1x Ruckman, right?

If so, Meek needs to get physical & early. Reeves can mop up after Half Time - he's not going to get any shorter as the game goes on.

The lines are ******* ridiculous getting into the game.

Most of the GA looks full in the Olympic and Warne stand

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Alright, let's do this!!!

 

[Paul Kersey]

Here we go.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Ground looks full save for top deck MCC/AFL.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Looking forward to this - 5 goal win to us I reckon.

 

[Lawsy]

I don't want a slow start like the practice matches. We need to be on from the srart

 

[FisherHawk]

Finally!!!

 

[KermitJagger]

Can tell every club is gonna start doing that bullshit forward goes into the ruck and shoves in the back thi g

 

[Max Powers]

5 minutes in and this bloody umpiring....
Giving us nothing crooked maggots.

 

[KermitJagger]

This is the most stupid rule, it should be a stoppage if this happens. What a waste of ****ing time.

 

[Brishawk]

McGrath off to a fast start on the meters gain stat

 

[KermitJagger]

Need more time to kick? Get a team mate to infringe on the mark, you get twice the time to line up.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Shocking kick from Day

 

[The A Team Van]

Why did they let him have two cracks at it if the Bombers player infringed on the mark??

 

[Brishawk]

I don’t understand how Hardwick wasn’t infringed…

 

[Bedi]

some pretty lacklustre disposal isn't helping our cause so far

 

[KermitJagger]

I don’t understand how Hardwick wasn’t infringed…

It's only taking the arms for an overhead mark apparently

 

[KermitJagger]

That was bad, we just watched that happen

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Far too easy

 

[Brishawk]

A bit too loose at that stoppage.
