Game Day Round 22, 2015: Hawthorn v Brisbane Lions, 2.10pm @ Aurora Stadium

[Hawkman29]

Just arrived in Launceston. The wind is still for the moment but the sky looks grey and angry... Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

It's now blowing a gale. Prepare for a day of points

Teams? Who's in for Mitch? Sub?

 

[Hawk Hogan]

Just saw, Howe in for Mitch, Billy the sub

 

[MistyAvalon]

kick straight and true boys, it ain't t hat long ago that the lions used to thrash us................

 

[Flamin Joe]

I have Mitchell 4 votes behind Fyfe. He needs to play for the Brownlow votes.

Who gives a toss about the Brownlow I'd rather he win a Norm Smith and hold up the cup at the end of the year.

 

[Hawkman29]

Left of screen is the scoring end today. WX travelled across as well, obviously not playing unless there's an injury in warm up.

 

[Gralin]

Full game to Howe and Sicily I like it

 

[bugalugs213]

Hill's been playing shit for a month... better sub Billy again!

 

[Bonscott1980]

You'd think Ando is due a game, but Joffa has been ultra consistent this year.

Reckon Gus pretty stiff to,been playing good footy as well and emergency for most games this year

Prepare for the stock-standard commentary of "The Hawks know how to play the conditions down here". Brisbane play down there every year so I reckon they're across them too.

 

[threesixpio]

I know team line ups are a crock generally but have a look who's centre

 

[MinerBoy]

Billy sub again.

 

[Gralin]

Billy sub again.

Yep two weeks in a row will need a full game somewhere next week you'd think

 

[hawkman]

Last time Hawthorn won a game without Mitchell and Hodge was round 7, 2002 when Hawthorn thrashed the Cats by 52 points at the MCG.

How many times have they not played in the same game since?

If it blows Tasie away, we'll have a few more missing in action.

 

[bigton08]

really think mitch should of played, yeah, we want the big prize, but there will be no brownlow now

 

[Gralin]

I know team line ups are a crock generally but have a look who's centre

Doc in the middle Hill on the bench, Suckers in the wing interesting if we actually line up like that

As being discussed, with a few sides having medium sized forwards going into September we may need Lithers.

Love the Doc. Long kick and killer instinct in spades.

 

[MistyAvalon]
