[HODGEYROAD]

Surprised with the fair degree of optimism being shown tbh.

Think Richmond will win this one very easily.

I've a actually tipped Hawthorn 4 of the last 5 weeks lol.

We'll revist this Sunday night Stratton24 . What's your prediction ????

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Have we been trying something different other than the now-standard zone? The commentators pointed something out on the weekend and I must have misheard or misunderstood.

Half court press (sort of).
I've noticed us zoning when it's in our forward line, and then transitioning to 1-on-1 the moment it reaches the centre square

[Lickmesocks]

Geez, it'll be a big ask.

Our problem is consistency over four quarters. We're playing well for 1-2 quarters then almost capitulating for large segments of the game.

For me our fitness to play 4 qtrs is something that stands out.

Younger group perhaps need more Physical work into them.

Hoping Peter Burge brings a new edge this off season .

 

[Hodginator]

Hoping Sicily fires back after what seemed like a rare lacklustre effort last week.

 

[TylerDurden]

Game on.

 

[TylerDurden]

Looks big enough to me.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

It's time to put them back in their box.

Been years of too many Tigers who sleep with the lights on whacking our smaller bodied/younger players.

Time to bring in crazy eyes and put him on a wing, have Hartigan as the sub with Roger Merrett type license to maim, then let Dermott speak to the team before the first bounce.

Would be nice to win too.

Unleash Nash, let him lay some big hits.

 

[Buttonsticher]

Is this a replacement game for Hawks members

 

[B&GBlood]

Looks big enough to me.

Ramsden?

 

[TylerDurden]

Ramsden?

Yep

It's winnable. Richmond are favourites - they have the better side and more to play for, but they're not super strong in the midfield anymore. We have done well at winning games we should win over the last few weeks. It would be nice to claim a scalp in the last fortnight and I reckon we're a better shot against Richmond than the Dogs, even though that game is in Tassie. The Dogs strength is our weakness and they belted us in the midfield last time.

 

[Tall Tales and True]

Can't recall what was said earlier in thread, but take note of Ramsden's game last week v Frankston.

One of the most promising performances I've seen from a Hawk big fella in a long time.

I think the Dogs is our bigger chance simply because of venue, they looked lost the last time they played in Launceston.

Yes

His coming in hot, will fly past players by the next year

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Is this game sold out, or getting close to it? The only available seats I can see are GA??

Doubt it would be a sell out - be ~60,000 as a guess. I just looked on Ticketek and could get some lesser reserved seats (level 1 goal and level 4 front) available. That was without a member barcode - possibly if you’re using your Hawks membership there’s less options so try the public reserve.

Reserved seating would be taken up by members.
Won't go close to selling out. Biggest H&A between the 2 is only 50k

I’ve just moved so never had a membership instead I would buy tickets for the Tassie games, getting one next year.

And yes I see this now, the level 1 goal and level 4 front are now showing as available (weren’t showing this when I posted).

Yeah the only option was GA yesterday. However level 1 goal and 4 front are available today.

I’m pretty sure I can use my mates MCC that he gives me seeing as he goes to 1 pies game a year and offers it weekly haha

We’ll see anyway, appreciate it.

Probably struggle to get 50k.

Yeah idk why but it had only GA available yesterday. Two more options today however.
