It’s Gameday.

Could (will) be the lowest scoring game of the entire AFL season today. Early goals will be vital and players who can convert half chances will be invaluable. Bruest, Moore, CMac and Butler have a chance to be the difference.

Greene is their only really dangerous forward so their we must prevent their midfield from snagging many goals.

Hopefully no one from either side gets hurt due to the conditions today.

Expecting Titch, Worps and Newk to thrive in the conditions.

 

[TylerDurden]

Nash and Newk the key here.
Reeves also needs a blinder over Flynn.
A winnable game.

I don’t expect anyone to thrive in the conditions. It’s going to be horrible to watch.

 

[Delecate Des]

Big Ned to be BOG as he will be the only one who doesn't have to dog paddle at stoppages

So which womanising, drunkard, GWS player are the giants going to feed the ball to, to look like a superstar and offload onto us in this season's game?

We got early goals last week and late goals as well, it was the middle goals we were missing.

Will there be enough goal scoring to have goals in the middle though?

Are you saying this club follows a certain patton of behaviour?

Nice. If you were here I'd be patton you on the back.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Absolutely shiteful conditions here in Syderrnee today.
The area where the game is being played has had about 15cms of rain in the last 36 hours with more to come.
I expect Il Duce will thrive in the conditions.
Be lucky to crack a 5k attendance.

Wow. Rain, Mussolini and gangland shootings.

Sydney just can't take a trick.

 

[Pessimistic]

15 goals to half time in vfl. Hawks getting pummelled all round

 

[Blackhawk42]

Is Hartigan REALLY going to be the sub?

 

[eldorado]

Maybe Shiels? He's not playing for Box Hill atm, is he?

 

[Blackhawk42]

Ah yep, forgot about Pup. That would make more sense.

Reckon GWS have the more experienced line up. That will count in the wet. Big test for some of our lighter bodied players in butler, McDonald, day, Morrison. Not ideal for Gunston either.

For interest, I live 3 km from Plastics Stadium and its been p*ssing down for the last hour or more and there's a decent S/W wind blowing so the game will be low scoring (I don't think even the 3 AFL sponsored Plastic's supporters will even turn up). Good luck, hope you beat them

Box Hill are playing there right now, and it's going to a tough watch.

In that case, I’m glad I decided to take my son to dreamworld today.

 

[Viddiot]

Hawks by 36, coming from 4 points down in the 4th!
Just to completely keep us all confused!!
