Game Day Round 20, 2023 : Hawthorn v Saints, Marvel Stadium 1:10pm

[Mitchell Madness]

Blanck the only one held over sp he's sub, will be interesting how that goes.
Assume it means frost rucks the last on his own, or does Ryan get thrown in there, which would see blanck/frost forward?

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Brad Hill out is a massive loss for them.

Agreed. He tends to tear us a new one when we play them as he wanders around gathering possessions.
Finding it hard to muster much enthusiasm for this game, given we played these clowns two months ago.
****ing afl and their hopelessly compromised fixture.

 

[peetoo]

They will turn it all around and smash us and be back in the running for a week. Only to then lose badly to Carlton.

Or we will flog them this week and they then flog Carlton next week.

Something weird will happen and it wont be enjoyable for one group of supporters.

Saints surely won’t take us as lightly as last time, but hill a massive out for them. When they smash us, he has a great game

FrostRuckBall is entertaining

This game should be at the G and the last round against Freo at Marvel. F&$k you AFail.

Surely the freo game will be a Sunday at 4pm?

Saturday night. We haven't had a primetime game all year - even norf got 1!

 

[Kil Phearns]

It will more than likely be:
Saturday August 26
Hawthorn v Fremantle @ MCG, 4:35pm FOX

Sunday August 27
Essendon v Collingwood @ MCG, 3:20pm Ch 7

From here, all games bar perhaps Melbourne are potentially winnable. I'm even not ruling out the possibility pulling off the "upset of the season" against Collingwood next week, as we traditionally match up well with them. At any rate, we might need to win at least a few games to give us some momentum heading into 2024, as we won't be getting a top five pick thanks to the usual AFaiL draft manipulations.

 

[Stamos]

Please please win

Some posters these days seem to be more interested with players playing VFL finals than AFL footy, baffling.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Keeping my expectations low for this one.

Ryan and Lewis to combine for 8 goals and Hawks to win by 45pts.

 

[VandoHawk]

Ryan's going to be fun to watch. At Box Hill he either hits 50 metre bullets or misses the target by 50 metres. Combined with first game nerves I reckon we may have some Frostball moments.

That’s what happens when you are out of finals contention. Bit of a nothing season, let’s hope we take a few scalps on the way home and have a finals bound 2024.

 

[Accipiter]

Nash to walk the length of the centre square, leaving a trail of groaning St Kilda bodies in his wake. Each one having bounced off him in an attempted dangerous tackle. This was dipper's modus operandi.

Oh yeah:- I don't know how old you are, but seeing a long line of opposition body-parts strewn over the length and breadth of Princess Park then Waverley Park was so cleansing for a young Hawthorn supporters soul ....

Brad Hill out is a massive loss for them.

I think Amon is just as important for us he’s been so underrated in the way we transition it this year..

Keen to see who steps up in his absence

[hawkinoz]

Lets go Brandon, kick a bag. Is 6 a bag in the modern game?

 

[Blackhawk42]

Genuinely nervous, because I believe we can win, but also can't handle another close defeat. Hopefully it's a flogging in either direction so my heart rate can remain low for the afternoon.

After 13 kicks and 49 handballs over the past 2 weeks, I want to see Newcombe KICK the thing a bit more.

 

[Mercy Seat]

One of the most stunning days of the year and we’re here under artificial lights. I hate this shithole stadium (as Dimma would say).

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Feels like a north game
C9ncorse is deserted, barely a seat full at all

 

[Badga]

I've been feeling confident about this one, hoping for a good showing for the lads

 

[Cleavy]

I don't understand Blanck as the sub.

 

[spudmaster]

The sun is shining, the birds are singing ( or I've got tinnitus) and the fecking roof is shut!

[Off The Couch]

Not fussed - would just like to see 4 quarters of good football

Who am I kidding - we are playing Ross Lyon
