Preview Round 17, 2024 : Geelong v Hawthorn, 4:35pm Sat 6th July, GMHBA stadium

[pattymalone00]

It's been a few decades since I've been to a game at Geelong (and in those days I'd ride my motorbike, now I'm old and feel the cold too much to consider that). Are there many training it? If one were to drive, is parking an issue (according to the GMBHA stadium there is limited parking on gameday). I feel like such a tourist. Any advice from locals/those in the know much appreciated.

If your keen for a walk you can pre book parking https://www.wilsonparking.com.au/parking-locations/victoria/geelong/?carParkFeature=

Wizard Watson to turn on the magic and kick a bag of 4 goals against the cats on Saturday.

It'll be like playing at a VFL ground so I'm expecting 4 goals from 22 disposals.

It is way, way, way more likely the handbaggers win this way than us....

Sorry if im sandra sully, but has anyone seen the tiktok going around of cats players singing the hawks theme song? Piss funny!!

Edit - found it

 

[Howe Amazing]

Is Ginni in doubt due to the late cork he got? He played out the game right so should be fine. He is so important to us

I was talking about the umpiring.

 

[Hawkboy62]

Meek probably rucking against Sam De Koning/ Blicavs which will give us an edge. Hopefully Duncan also misses as he was subbed off early last game with some niggle, which may help offset Sicily's likely absence.

Not at all confident but hopeful.

Meek will smash either of them. Good luck.

 

[The Chad and I]

We'd all be happy to see Lewis back at his best, but it's worth remembering that he's always needed a block of games to run into good form. I'm not expecting much tbh. A couple of marks, presence in some F50 contests and a goal will be enough for me.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

When would we find out about Sicily?
Or would we have to wait until teams on Thursday

 

[JoeHawk]

My only request is the Wiz to kick them goals. When he ran straight and kicked straight he goaled. Please repeat

On SM-A546E using BigFooty.com mobile app

Exactly. I'd rather he kick straight over the mark than going wide and shanking it. That'll come later.

They normally come out with an injury report on Tuesdays

 

[Ka Norkers]

probably won't know anything about Sicily until Thursday team announcement

 

[lyger]

Or win by 1 point.

On a free kick after the siren.

.

And you know it will be Wiz getting a head high tackle in the goal square in front of the Cats cheer squad!

And shooshing them as they go ape sh1t!!

 

[Khmerhawk]

Hawkins not playing worries me, if he was playing I think we are a massive chance but with him out I think it gives them the edge .They looked a lot better Saturday night without him.

Well he will be replacing a bloke who got one handball last week so…..

It will be interesting how the Hawks go with the cats physicality. Cats have bullied us for a while now - it is time to turn that around.

Only looked great as * were so poor and even while losing they’ve still been kicking some big scores.

It’s their midfield and defence that’s been letting them down. They’ve been giving up big scores pretty consistently.

If our forwards and mids are switched on we have every chance of a huge total

 

[earthworms]

I'm not concerned about this game. Our midfield is finally playing as a complete unit and will obliterate geelong's.

Tbh we're really missing his accuracy in front of goals. One of the best set shots in the afl along with moore.

Hawks midfield is a class above.

Defence is humming - Sicily would be an obvious loss though.

If we win in the middle the Cats moving DeKoning and Stewart out of defense will benefit us greatly.

Hawks by 25 points.

 

[Roddy]

We have to get off to a good start, gotta shut the ferals up early.

 

[Cyril says]

Can’t wait for this game. With Sic it’s going to be a coin flip, but the smarts of Worps and with Mitch back in, I reckon we’ve got em.

 

[Alex_au]

Pretty confident we are going to spank them in their crap hole stadium. Cats are on the decline with their previous win over the Scum not a true indication of where they are at. Can't see their old legs keeping up with ours.

Hawks by 36 points.
Scrimshaw, Amon and Weddle to have a day out and limit them.

 

[user33]

Think this game will be either won or lost in the midfield. I don’t think Geelong’s backline is strong enough to stop our forward line if we dominate the mids.
