Game Day Round 17, 2024 : Geelong v Hawthorn, 4:35pm GMHBA stadium

[unitedhawk]

Don't think, DO!

Hawkins kicked 4 that day. His first was an absolute ripper from the boundary.
Henry kicked 4. May be the sub today.
Stengle drained a 50m snap after we spoiled a ball over the line,.which they called fn deliberate.

The ruck is massive today. It has to be Blics.
There's no way they can leave Lewis, Chol and Gunner to Henry, Kolo and Stewart. SDK will have to go back.

I'm expecting Meek to destroy Blics in there and give us first use all day.

Agree Meek a massive difference maker. We should win the midfield battle. From there forward efficiency will need to be at the right level to win. Can’t be wasting opportunities against this mob.

Biggest game for the club in half a decade. Win and we are right in the finals frame

My first game down at the Cattery. Looking forward to this. A good test of where we’re at.

I e never seen a loss the few times I’ve been there

Shit I hope he turns up today, tomorrow is no good to us

 

[peetoo]

Replaced 200ish games of experience out with almost 400 games in

We are indeed in a good place

If you’re driving today there are a few rules:-
1 Don’t
2 Leave early if you have no alternative. Traffic will be abysmal both ways.

 

[Brishawk]

Cats right now…

Hawks right now…

Hawks by plenty!

“Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.”

HAWKS BY PLENTY!!!!!!!!

Des, I trust your giblets are positive.
I sacrificed a goat to the footy gods last night, this morning I'm lookin' for a virgin.
Go Hawks.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Looking forward to this!!!

Things I want to see:
1. Goal ckicking to click for the wiz
2. Mitch Lewis to take some big outlet marks for us (we have missed this!!!)
3. Keep them to 5 goals or less in the first half
4. Chol to kick 4+. This guy really deserves a big bag

 

[peetoo]

Looking at season averages cats seem to have a low disposal efficiency and low number of marks.

It’s goal efficiency which seems to save them. Seems to correlate with the ‘impending cliff’ talk

 

[Whistling Hawk]

No need to tag Stewart if he’s playing in the midfield. Need to tag Touhy as he plays the loose man (the Stewart role) and Geelongs entire game plan is built around it.

Wizz to kick 6 straight.

Go hawks

Entering enemy territory be like..

If it bleeds. Actually in our pre 2013 run of games I thought of the cats as a terminator. Took a lot to finish them off

Get it done and GTF out of there.

If we win this one....

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

On the train, first song on shuffle. Welcome to the jungle. It’s a sign.

Let’s get it done boys.
How early is too early for crack one??
Asking for a friend.

My three to watch today:
Lewis returning to the Seniors - we know the best of Mitch can tear games apart but will be fascinated seeing him and Chol working together. Had 3 glimpses earlier this year when Mitch was underdone.

Nash setting the tone in the midfield - to win at GMHBA you need to win the midfield battle. Looking forward to seeing Nash with his blocks and body checks to get the space for our other mids to do their work.

Frosty leading the backline - with no Sicily, lots falls on the shoulders of Frosty and Scrimma. Have loved Frosty's work as the last line of defence and reckon he'll step up, leading and directing that backline to limit Geelong's ability to score.

 

[hawk for 37]

All this media is making me nervous. Fair bit of bath water to be consumed. Hope they are on.

Kingy all over Twitter yesterday saying we're good at stoppages and that's about it .
Can't wait to prove more of the media wrong, Kane aside.

PSA for any Geelong supporters travelling on the train. Please don’t forget to take your personal belongings with you!

Legend stuff I remember that, old Cranny Pete

Team Lineups (AFL)

I was wondering when Newcombe would finally be moved to his best postion. Forget midfielder - he'll tear the game apart at CHF!

 

[tommyk72]

Sicily and Ginnivan are both very big outs. Both are critical to our game style. Good opportunities for a few boys to challenge for spots as we head towards finals. Will really test us, but am optimistic (though not convinced) we'll prevail!

Yep Sicily obviously but it’s almost 200 games replaced by almost 400 games, and geelong don’t have that much youth

If we win this I think we play finals this year.
