Unofficial Preview Round 1, 2024: Bombers v Hawks, MCG 1:10pm Sat 16th March

[Mercy Seat]

It's their line in the sand game.

Are they throwing in the 20 year reunion of their last finals win or will that be against Melbourne?

 

[Blackhawk42]

Unlike last year, I'm not expecting a victory this time around. Just want a decent 4 quarter effort.

 

[peetoo]

2004 was all over a spear tackle on bob campbell which dermie took offence to.
They smashed us after that but the 2000 bomber invincibility was gone….perhaps forever


Enjoy tour 40 year anniversary….and your 20 year long irrelevance. Might be a ‘nice’ idea for the banner

 

[Yardie]

Dermie in the rooms at half time, make it happen

Whose rooms?

A decent 4 quarter effort will get it done.

Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises, no demands

Underrated song for its time. Better than hit me with yr best shot imho

Haha mate they've had about 15 line in the sand games against us the past decade, and it's gotten them nowhere.

Do not want

Would love this locked in round 1 every year

In five years time this will be two top 6 teams.
I reckon it's a goer

Derm is already in their rooms:

[TheFourPillars]

I am almost certain Morrison plays. One of the few that defend. Given what happened against Bulldogs just pencil him in

Yeah, I wanted to get him in. Maybe if Moore doesn’t get up, or if we don’t need/want Finn to tag.

It’s not a bad shout. We got 68k to our Sunday round 1 fixture against them last year.

Marquee timeslot and I feel that could easily push 80. Not bad considering Carlton/Richmond usually gets around 85/90.

 

[moginie]

For all those whinny Hawks fans - we are Hawthorn. Watch this. * the Bombers

Significant absence of the 1989 prelim. Derm at his best.

An absolutely great film clip. Best Pat Benatar ever did.

Good. It's where we should be.

Hawks supporters - get there

 

[hawkman]

In five years time this will be two top 6 teams.
I reckon it's a goer

Top 6 v top 6 of the bottom 10?

 

[tommyk72]

Yeah, I wanted to get him in. Maybe if Moore doesn’t get up, or if we don’t need/want Finn to tag.

I'd be tempted to put Moore at BHH to regain touch and form after not playing any pre-season matches. We have a lot of talent in that role, and even though he's a leader I think the mantra should be that no one comes straight in this year.

 

[LRobbo]

In five years time this will be two top 6 teams.

They won’t be a top 6 side in 5 years.
Their recent recruiting of C and B grade players makes them better marginally now but further from a flag. Mid table at best but to good to bottom out and rebuild properly

 

[peetoo]

Do not want

On second thoughts. Guaranteed MCG game to kick off the season, and pressure not to have the return fixture at marvel

Maybe lock this in
Thu blues/tigers
Fri Coll/geelong
Sat arvo hawks/bombers.

Lock in the high six

The marvel comtemants can play marvel
