Game Day Round 2, 2025: Carlton v Hawthorn, 7:30pm @MCG

[AlwaysHawks15]

Hey I have a GA ticket for someone who hasn't managed to get one, they're apparantley all sold out via the AFL and are going at $45-50 on resale, DM me if ya interested. Can't make it unfortunately . I'll do it for $35

EDIT: actually i'll just go $27

Ticket merchant website is a better option if you want GA. I got one yesterday and it looked like at least a few bays in the top tier had ample seats available unless in the last 24 hours there has been a surge.

This is just a copy and paste from Preview thread … won’t bump again after this

Hey guys. I have two reserved guest seats available in the MCC if anyone is interested. $100 for both.

Great viewing seats - second row of top level on the flank/wing - Q45. It’s a dry zone (no alcohol). Also, your behaviour is technically my responsibility, so please only take them if you behave with respect for those around you.

DM if interested. Thanks

ticketmerchant was ****en exorbitant i thought, cheapest GA on there when I looked was 45 bucks. that's where my mate accidentally bought a tick from, not realising i couldnt go and dropped $55 for GA! literally double what it costs. i don't mind adding a few bucks to the cost covering the fees but doubling the price is just straight up scalping

Think mine was in the 30s which is reasonable.

39 to be exact, slightly high but not in the realm where I say no effin way I'm not paying that much.

When there's a big crowd expected I feel these websites bump up prices, treat it like your getting premium seats when in reality your still in the nosebleeds.

I have an uneasy feeling in my gut that we are going to get rolled tonight. Almost feels like season/reputation on the line for the blues, and I honestly think the dons made us look better than we were last weekend.

Hopefully Sammy read the boys the riot act this week to keep any complacency at bay.

 

[tommyk72]

Cripps will need to poll the 3,2 and 1 to get within 4 goals.

They won’t and he will.

 

[Ka Norkers]

rumour d'Ambrioso is out?

 

[QuietB]

Always wary of playing clubs that are backed into a corner.

Can win. Should win.

But I'll never discount a team with a point to prove.

Hawks by under 20.

This is how I feel - Sammy better have these guys ready.

On paper small forwards should dominate this game and Hawthorn has the best small forwards by some margin. In reality Carlton are going to come hard at the Hawks, both in response to their pathetic performance last week and in response to what the hawks did to them late last season.

This will be a scrap - Hawks better be ready.

 

[QuietB]

Not a fan of this weather.

Weather is fine - it will still be a fast track. There has been hardly any rain.

 

[DogDaySonny]

I’m not worried about Carlton’s intensity at all. They should be worried about ours. This is the moment for this team. The moment to prove themselves as the top dogs of the league. And after falling short in a top dog moment to end last season, I’m pretty sure the boys will be ready for this one.

Yeah, if I were Carlton and my fear is that it’s another season already lost then the Hawks are the last team I would want to play in order to reverse that narrative.

Sauce?

 

[badboybobba]

rumour d'Ambrioso is out?

Only a rumour, will play

 

[Blackhawk42]

Our strengths match up really well with Carlton's weaknesses.

However, they'll be breathing fire and their experienced players will have learnt a lot from the mistakes of last week.

Like last week, I'm confident the boys can get it done, but I won't be surprised if we lose.

 

[RCAB]

I think it's fine to be nervous for this game... Although we've managed two wins, we haven't hit anywhere near our full straps.

 

[Roddy]

Just walked the pup through Fitzroy for 20 mins, we got pretty wet…

 

[Bedi]

If anything we've learnt the last little while it is we love the G and dont mind the rain, so Hawks by 59

 

[Bedi]

Prefer a contest actually, as long as there’s a win

I'll take handing out a thrashing any day

Rain has set in out my way , from here it normally follows through the city .

 

[Max Powers]

A win.
No injuries or suspensions.
And maybe a little less rain...if possible.

Go Hawks

 

[DogDaySonny]

It’s gonna be wet.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Think the worst of the rain will be past by the time the game starts

 

[Hawks1994]

Most of the heavy rain has been going over the bay the last couple hours so it won't be suuuper wet but will still be pretty greasy; which is probably worse for all players to be fair

Hopefully the mids rebound from last week and our small forwards feast on the fast, slippery conditions. Very excited to have CJ back too, almost a forgotten man for us but can provide so much of what we want our style to be

Expecting a really strong showing from the Blues however; stunk it up last week and been hounded all week, but they are vastly better than that so we have to be ready

 

[cryptor]

Pretty humid at the G right now
