is an emergency for the game.

Once the State game is done and dusted, attention will turn back to the VFL, where the Hawks will play their third consecutive away game to open the season. This time, they will make the trek up to the Gold Coast to play the Suns, who have only played one game to start the season (for a loss to the Tigers back on 23 March by 23 points). Meanwhile, the Hawks have got off to a winning start to the season, having defeated the Casey Demons by 41 points in round 1 and the Cats by 38 points in round 2.

Teams to come.

 

[ahhhhhh]

I’m glad Chol isn’t still there. He tore us apart last year.

Same with Burgess too, who's now at the Crows. He was very handy up front for the Suns VFL side.

Whenever we plat these blokes they ALWAYS seems to have a stacked side.
Not a great week to lose Ethan Phillips either with there 2 gorilla's Casboult and Day. Our backline is really going to have it's work cut out.
Hopefully MacDonald and Stephens are better for their first up games however unfortunate to see O'Sullivan injured again - cant seem to take a trick - but really adds to our forward line when he plays.

What is wrong with JOS? That sucks he just can’t stay on the park.

Exactly. He was very good in the second half against Geelong.

He’s not listed on our injury list…hopefully not a training injury

 

[moginie]

We're playing a team that hasn't played since March 23. The VFL draw is a complete sham.

Must be so frustrating for the fringe AFL players who might start or end as sub then get dropped and don’t get to play a VFL game the next week to stake their claim for a recall. It’s a shambles.

O'Sullivan will play today

Good start....

 

[grumbleguts]

I must admit, I had no idea Mollison umpires VFL matches as well.

 

[VandoHawk]

Crikey we look really stagnant early

We don't seem to be talking to each other. 3 of our players have been run down because options dried up and no-one supports them.

[grumbleguts]

Where is the communication? No one is telling the players they are under pressure. And no one is at the stadium.

 

[VandoHawk]

Clay Tucker just spoilt Calsher's lead which sums up how this quarter has been going.

 

[VandoHawk]

Casboult kicks his second, Suns lead by 24.
Their quick transition to the bigger key forwards is causing real headaches.

 

[moginie]

Nice obvious push in the back by Casboult not picked up by four umpires.

 

[grumbleguts]

They are playing like 8 yo's. Let's all follow the ball carrier and leave the rest of the opposition free

 

[peetoo]

Casboult dropped? Wasn’t he keeping Chol out of the team?

Commentary should get calling the play right before rabbiting on

 

[Hawkas1988]

Flew up for the game tonight and watching BH here at the ground. Not much to write about unfortunately.

Been a tough watch so far.
