Game Day Round 8, 2024 : Bulldogs v Hawks, 4pm, Marvel Stadium

[Strapping Young Lad]

It’s Game day!

 

[eldorado]

Lift, Hawthorn...LIFT!

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

100 point win incoming.Bevo to be sacked immediately. Fantasy coaches everywhere rejoice. All thanks to Hawthorn

 

[Mr Lizard]

hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

go Hawks!

 

[rei154]

New game Day thread tag... dunno how I feel about it.

I expect growth again today. If we can get 4 goals out of Watto and Calsh we'll come away with a plus.

 

[HedgeFund]

A consistent 4 quarter effort is all we can ask for.

 

[Hodginator]

Is it unrealistic to expect Dear and Wiz to kick 8 between them?

 

[Argy]

hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

go Hawks!

 

[Blahsta]

Hopefully not blown out of the water in the first quarter, the players seem to drop their heads pretty quickly each week when this happens.

Can't wait to see Dear and looking forward to seeing Watson again, hopefully he can kick better and convert his 4-5 shots a game into 3 goals.

Just need a competitive performance so the boys can get some confidence back and try and build into the back half of the year.

 

[Worth a Kick]

Is it unrealistic to expect Dear and Wiz to kick 8 between them?

Definitely. 10 between them is where I’m at.

 

[Nastyfish]

Lift, Hawthorn...LIFT!

And DO SOMETHING! DONT THINk, DO!

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

I hate that I’ve got zero expectations. Kinda shows where we are at.

I’d like to see a much much better level of skill and decision making. Go a bit harder at the ball, and I dunno maybe a little bit of grunt. I hate that we’re a bit soft.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

Phillips Ramsden and Reeves all playing at Whitten Oval

No late talls in.

I reckon Sam will either be a genius or under the pump depending which way today goes.

 

[toomanysquibs]

Definitely. 10 between them is where I’m at.

A dozen.

Hard to see them beating us if those two kick 12.

Looking for a fairytale here. Hope springs eternal.

 

[Turly]

Lift, Hawthorn...LIFT!

Delete if not appropriate but me and my old man refer to Stanley as LIFT. Had a dart with him at half time a while ago.

Big hawk at heart and very passionate. For those unsure who we are all referring to, he was stoked when I asked if I could nab a pic of him.

LIIIIFT!

 

[Delecate Des]

"As you think, so shall you become"

HAWKS BY PLENTY!!!!!

 

[thehardway]

An ageing star on the decline - Gunston - and a new kid - Dear - as the KPFs. Hardwick, Moore, Ginnivan and Watto in support. This will be an interesting watch. Liam Jones

Is this the bloke who used to wear a red cap to games and get the whole crowd to chant lift? I have vague memories of that as a kid.

 

[Dewnior]

All I ask for is a fair umpiring display.




Oh, and I want 13 goals for Calsh on debut

 

[Hotham Hawk]

All the best for Dear today. Hoping that he has an enjoyable debut irrespective of the final score.

The latter more likely than the former

 

[rei154]

Absence of Ward is being keenly felt at Box Hill this week.
I'm desperate for him to play his natural role at the AFL, Mitchy boy make it happen!

 

[TylerDurden]

No expectation at all.

Just keen to see some kids improve.

yep

 

[cryptor]

Hopefully see Day return to his best after blowing out the cobwebs last week.

We'll need our best players to fire to even be a chance today.
