Preview Round 12, 2024: Hawthorn v Adelaide Crows, 1 June 2024, 1.45pm @ MCG

[hawkinoz]

Beautiful set plays here and these worked wonderfully well.

Calsher & Chol goal here. Dear missed 2 goals that were not even half as difficult as this last week from a closer range. Points for those and we win against Port.

Not blaming him, question the across the body kicks by players who are still not good at it. Amon missed the whole lot too in this lions game with a similar shot.

 

[MrPremiership]

Not saying Meek plays, but are we worrying about him missing due to Ginni's radio interviewing saying "he'll struggle to play this week"?

Love Ginni as a player, not sure where he did his medical degree though

 

[Thunder1]

Meek was very sore when he came back on, definitely had a jab after injuring his ankle. I think he would definitely be in doubt for this week

 

[TylerDurden]

If Meek plays this is a genuine 50/50 match but if he doesn't get up then I feel like Adelaide will go in slight favourites.

We can't undersell what a difference having a big, physical ruck who gets involved around the ground has had on the teams performance/ morale.

Especially against OBrien, who is a beast.

Reeves broke even with O’Brien last time they met. I’m confident Reeves can hold his own if recalled.

The ruck rules have changed since then.

 

[offtherails9]

Yeah not sure I’d take a throwaway comment like that as gospel re: Ginni on Meek.

Probably asked him how he’s feeling quickly after the game and said he’s sore lol. Relax

 

[TheFourPillars]

Its going to be 10 degrees and raining for this game

 

[nelk boys]

Weddle is a watch, after that big collision.

What about the humidity?

Hot choccy machine in the Lindsay Hassett Room will be getting a workout for sure!

 

[hawkman]

Watson and Ward in the frame?

Nash struggled today.

Cameron got the better of Mitchell, which there's no shame in, but I suppose it may mean his spot could be looked at? Maybe Hardwick goes back and Watson comes in.

How much did Mitchell spend on Cameron though? Most of the contests in the 1st half that Cameron won were on Amon or Scrimshaw

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Seamus wasn’t that bad. Did some good things and he simply plays a role now that allows Hardwick forward. I wanna see him take it on more and get more of the ball too but Cameron also kicked 1.3 it was hardly beaten badly.

On further inspection two of the shots Cameron set-up for teammates and his only goal were against Amon.

You beat me by 5 minutes. Watching the replay and noticed the above.

 

[tl92]

Not sure why people are so keen for ward to come in. imo he needs to be banging the door down to get back in. We all want him to be a star but let’s not gift games. Don’t change a winning formula unless you have to.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Unchanged or Watson for MacDonald

 

[The hands of stone]

Excited for this . Almost feels like a mini elimination final with us both in form and the winner a sneaky to push only a game and a bit out .
Feels like ages since we have had a game like this , it's a good feeling

 

[hawk for 37]

Unchanged or Watson for MacDonald

Give Watson a chance to kick a bag at BH and find his range. I think he is feeling the pressure in the seniors and thinks we are expecting the miracle all the time.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Unchanged or Watson for MacDonald

Croc played well yesterday. He won’t be going anywhere unless he’s injured?

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

Holding the ball is going to be hot this week with all the discussion going on in the media. Lads had better be switched on.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Why are people trying to drop MacDonald after 17 disposals, 1.2 and 4 tackles from a half forward flank?

Champion Data rated him our 7th most impactful player on the day.

 

[taurus]

Booked a flight from Sydney for a day trip to watch the game. Been supporting both Hawks and Crows for different reasons this season. It's going to be a cracker!

Thinking of buying ticket at the ground. Is the top level a GA area?

Also please recommend me a nice place to eat in CBD or Richmond (haven't been there in yonks) - around $30- 40 per head.

Go the Hawks! Want Ginny to kick 3.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Gee I hope Meek gets up. Reeves hasn't been doing much at BH of late.

Meek was visibly limping at the start of the last quarter but then seemed to run the game out ok. If he doesn’t get up I think reeves has to play can’t have Ramma as first ruck.

Amon looked to hurt a knee in a tackle in the last quarter but also seemed to run it out ok.

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Especially against OBrien, who is a beast.

ROB been on the verge of being dropped for weeks.
Insipid around the ground. Dropping simple marks. Doesn’t know his limitations by foot.
Massive push by many to drop him and get Strauchan in the team.

 

[hawkguru]

We need nash's tackling

soligo hates this

Soligo will ask to be managed just to avoid Nash
