Preview Round 21, 2024: GWS Giants v Hawthorn, Sun 4 August, 1.10pm AEST @ Manuka Oval

[Dinsdale]

I'm at open training at Manuka, there's about 500 or so here with me.

Interesting contrast, GWS played soccer for their open training, our boys are doing full on drills.

Interesting. You train like you want to play, right?

I had my whole day planned around watching this game until I realised it's on tomorrow and not today

That must have been some disappointment turning on the TV and seeing Richmond and North!

Good you’re taking it seriously and rehearsing appropriately.

Strangely, I made exactly the same mistake. I came back from Richmond market, got my lunch ready, popped open an Aftemath double IPA and got ready to watch the Hawks and to my horror it was Norf and Richmond. I am a stupid old fool. Though I did see that great leap by Dursma.

[Rich]

Boys looked nice and focused at training.

As mentioned, solid turnout for it, should be good noise from the faithful tomorrow.

Awesome. Could be the advantage we need.

Piss it in. We're going to finals

Interesting contrast, GWS played soccer for their open training, our boys are doing full on drills.

Arrived at 3:25 to find the autograph session was nearly over, despite it saying the training session ran from 3-4.

Unlike Gather Round where the boys started about 20 minutes late.

Great arvo though. Plenty of autographs on my young blokes footy. Got a photo with Nashy.

Wished Frosty all the best with the bub.

 

[hawkguru]

I get the the feeling that Gunston and Weddle or even Sicily may swap positions at some point in the game.

Why do you think that?

 

[hawkguru]

Why do you think that?

I've seen Weddle and Sicily drift forward at stages and they seem to make some impact. If Gunston doesn't do much in a half I can see Sam switching roles to help Dear and Chol

 

[H00t]

I get the the feeling that Gunston and Weddle or even Sicily may swap positions at some point in the game.

I wouldn’t be putting Gunston near the backline. Especially if he’s struggling to get involved ahead of the ball.

I assume we might see someone swing forward if Gunston is subbed off. Would depend on how the games going though.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Breust and Gunston are essentially one player. One starts sub , the other the replacement once activated. I think it's a great little asset to have.

 

[RX Hawk]

What a crazy week with Swans loosing, Cats barely beating Crows etc etc.
I have a sinister feeling we will win this and get the 4 points.
Most top of the ladder teams are struggling at the moment and we need to keep the winning form going - ladder will take care of itself.

 

[jerry_atrick]

This is probably a make or break game for us to hit the finals. Even if we win, an 8 spot is unlikely on percentage. I am thinking the players will be fired up.. Lets be honest, the laughing stock of the first 5 rounds is a force to be reckined with.. at least we hit our straps earlier than other seasons.

The above is a long-winded way of saying I am as nervous about this game as a pyke on a spike. I think we are better than the current odds which have as even @ 1.90. But after watching the Swans games, I hope the umps aren't going to make the difference.

Go Hawkers!
