Preview Round 24, 2024: Hawks v North, 12:30pm Sat 24th Aug, UTAS - NOTE NEW START TIME

I reckon Scaife will have a career somewhere between Cooke and Dermie

Gee, isn't that the true pundits call. A career somewhere between the answer to a pub trivia question and a Team of the Century, Hall of Fame player.

We've done it before with outstanding success.

Michael Cooke's first game in 1975 was in a final.
Wonderful game - 4 debut goals.
Then the grand final - zero possessions and replaced early.
That was his 2nd and last game.

Then Dermott Brereton.
1982 stunning debut in a final against North - 5 goals.
Then went on to play a few more games than Michael Cooke.

I reckon Scaife will have a career somewhere between Cooke and Dermie.

Great post, M. Just yesterday I was trying to remember Michaël Cookes name and now you've posted it with all the pertinent details. Thanks. Good point about untried players - Sink or swim, even if they sometimes only do a few strokes. I went to that granny as a teenager, it was terrible. Last one I ever went to. Burns slaughtered us out of the centre, the big north forwards kicked bags.

Does anyone know when the finals tickets will go on sale?

Lots of rain overnight but the weather looks fine for the duration of the match. We should win comfortably against a weak looking Roos team.

 

[grumbleguts]

Seamus has deserved it and what an amazing 1st goal.. bigger than Scaife's one, around the 30 second mark.

But I still think it will be one of Ward or Finn

Wasn't bigger than Scaif's Scaif's was against the wind, and went through at post height.

Could be called off.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Could be called off.

relocate the game back to the G tomorrow night. Easy fix

It's Marvel.

Didn’t realize Scully and Burgoyne were still playing for us. Either of them fit for tomorrow?

 

[badgrill]

Just lol at the title, that's pure bait.

In reality he actually said:

"There's no greater incentive to try and win this game than there was last week against the Dogs."

haha that was exacly my first thought

 

[badgrill]

absolutely it is, and quite fraudulent piecing together two separate things into the one strapline. Thought Clarko spoke respectfully saying they'd do their best to make Hawthorn earn their spot in September – but def never said there was no greater incentive!

"no greater incentive" = there won't be any more incentive than any other game, but that doesn't sound as controversial

So how I read it, if there’s an unplanned outage no one will be working to fix it?

It's a strike by the Tas power supplier.

 

[Sturty]

NICE TRY CLARKO

 

[Hawko1979]

Lol I'm flying down tomorrow morning for the game

 

[Strebi3]

Someone texted through to Dwayne’s show to say it’s all sorted. Update imminent

Thank **** - the game possibly being called off would have been disastrous if Freo ended up winning.

Fixed - all patrons will be handed Dolphin Torches as they arrive at the ground

 

[Fleabane]

Just glad this one is on Saturday. Waiting until Sunday - especially with finals on the line - is too much! We’ll win this. Go Hawks!!

I'll take my head light I use to walk the dog too. Every little bit helps right!

 

[magnuswolf]

They'll just move the game earlier. 12:30 bounce

That's how I understood it. There will be power but in the event of an outage (which sounds like there have been some recently - and the weather forecast isn't great) then there will be no action to restore it.
