[Hodge is God]

Looks like Ando is playing.

Posted on his instagram the specially designed boots for this round.

Ahhh the youngens and social media. Gotta love em. Go Ando

 

[IdiotBox]

No one has yet mentioned the 'elephant in the room'. Who goes to G Ablett? Sewell? Lewis? Or do we just allow him free rein in their back half and then try and mob him if he ventures into their F50?

 

[JMan5]

Hawthorn should show why they deserve and have top spot on the ladder.

I think all the indigenous players got them so I don't think it means he's definitely playing (I think he will be though).

Shiels I'd assume

Bring in Tim O Brian for mine...Buddy's gone
Really hope Litherland gets a go soon..
Also what is going on with Frank ? is it ever going to play or just get delisted at the end of the season ??

Yeah mate, it's because we have won more games than most other sides, and the one that has won an equal amount of games as us, we have a greater percentage in for and against terms (score) - does that answer your somewhat cryptic supposition?

Sure you not a Collingwood man?

You mean sitting 1st after facing all of last year's finalists wasn't good enough? And that to prove we are REALLY good we have to thump the Gold Coast....

A win and no injuries will do

 

[Lordlordington]

Can anyone tell me why brad hill didn't play last week???

 

[heh]

Hill had a corky, re. The injury report on hawks site.

Corky apparently.

Hawks site injury report probably had his leg amputated at the knee....

I think all he was saying is we are a good team and we should win this game.
Why do so many on here always read waaaaay to much into things and reply with comments that imply someone was try to be a smarter#e ?

I think you'll find the Brisvegan wants us to crush the cross town rival for him...

None! Let Ablett rack up 40+. They will still lose by 10+ 1 player will not beat 18! If he was still at Geel, then yes, you have to go with him, because of the quality guys around him. But Im sure our midfield is all over GC's.....

This. The only games where Ablett has gained his 30+ in ways that have pulled the Suns over the line are againse mediocre clubs like WB, Carlton, Saints, etc. Has done it against good sides to little impact. Let him go and rack up the possessions so all the SuperCoaches can laud him for being their captain.

 

[vinnay]

We should play as many indigenous boys as possible! Make a statement about the culture of Hawthorn and try make us a destination club!

Exactly!!! All I meant was that Hawthorn should show their skills off.

Hell yeah!

Couldn't give two shits if he gets 100 disposals in our forward 50, as long as Strats or I dunno, a combo of a few mids pick him up goalside of the centre, he shouldn't swing the momentum in their favour.

 

[RustyHawk]

I reckon it will be Hill & Gibbo in and Spaghar & the ripleys believe it or not Smith out.

Purely form based or just resting?

 

[MinerBoy]

Oh, shit yeah, I forgot there was footy this week.

What with Buddy and Robson and all..... Ah, Go Hawks!

 

[Flukey!]

Has Gibbo trained this week? Is he definitely fit?
