Game Day Round 12, 2024: Hawthorn v Adelaide Crows, 1.45pm @ MCG

[Strapping Young Lad]

It’s Game day!

 

[Roddy]

I'm feeling a bit optimistic about this game.

And that worries me.....

Adelaide similar to us, much better than their ladder position suggests and can beat most sides on their day. Have a great system developing, put a lot of pressure on, and have some dangerous ball movement if allowed to. Should be a ripping game in terms of tactics from the coaches to get things on their own terms.

 

[Sturty]

Been out of the country for a month and missed every game we won!
So keen to watch this today, Hawks by 38!

 

[matey]

This would have to be one of the best interchange benches named that I can remember!

I/C: S.Mitchell, M.D’Ambrosio, J.Worpel, C.Macdonald, J.Ginnivan

 

[Argy]

Possibly a bit of a let down today for this young team after some torrid weeks. Just hope they compete well and give Gunners something to celebrate.

 

[Delecate Des]

"Do, or do not, there is no try"

HAWKS BY PLENTY!!!!!

 

[cryptor]

Surprised we’re not favourites for this. That last quarter against Port is doing a lot of heavy lifting in terms of obscuring what has been a very strong form line.

Good point - and a great sign for our future!

 

[CHUBBSS]

Club has planned Gunston 250 ridiculously well, old side, reckon we towel them up, we will be on.

Just depends how we hold up at the g on the spread.

I agree. Should we be confident? Too early?

 

[humid hawk]

It's my mother in law's bday today so no chance to watch the game.

I tried to make a resolution not to check scores before the replay BUT WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT GOES

 

[Roddy]

I agree. Should we be confident? Too early?

That it's in Melbourne, rather than AO, is some reason for optimism....

 

[TylerDurden]

A real test. These guys are good. But so are we.

A victory here, and we are on our way. Can't wait to see what happens.

What are you doing? Get out!!

 

[Hodginator]

Recon if Reeves can just provide some good tap work to our mids out of the guts, there’s no reason why we can’t win.

Hawks by 19

 

[HawthornHawk]

Really excited for this one, there's nothing better than Saturday afternoon footy at the G.

I'm going to be watching CJ closely, I reckon after a couple of games he's ready to explode on the expanses of the G.

Similarly looking forward to seeing how Dear goes in his first game at this venue, I think he'll find some space and could get a favorable match up, won't be surprised to see him kick a couple.

The Crows are a good side from what i've seen, I reckon it's a flip of a coin but if we want to be taken seriously these are the games we have to start winning!

Love Seamus but had a little heart flutter and thought we had Sam back on first glance

 

[Fleabane]

Very difficult one to pick. So I just hope that we bring everything to the game, with a whole team effort. If we do, very good chance of a win!

 

[Brishawk]

A real test. These guys are good. But so are we.

A victory here, and we are on our way. Can't wait to see what happens.

Being at the g helps us. Lets hope we can bring our best again.

 

[Billyc]

Family leave pass for a Saturday afternoon at the footy on the beers. Hoping for a win and a 4 goal break out game from big Calsher !

 

[Argy]

I didn't think I'd have any reason to say this at the start of the year, but I am nervous of our ruck with Meek out. I don't expect Reeves to step into his shoes, but I do hope to see him tap well and do more around the ground than he normally does.

 

[Turly]

Who will be the sub do we think?

Looking at the team I have absolutely no idea. Think Punk plays for Gunners 250th. Means someone will be very unlucky.

You know if we lose today you're going to have to do the right thing and move overseas for good.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

What are our matchups for their forwardline?

Walker - Frost
Fogarty - Weddle / Scrimshaw
Burgess - Scrimshaw / Sicily
Rachelle - Mitchell
Keays - Amon / Impey
Murphy - Impey / Amon

Hopefully we are able to release Sicily.
