Game Day Tigers v Hawthorn

[Blaze Storm]

that's 4/7 of our oldest players out

 

[realhawk]

Don't expect to much from Lewis, he is playing with a crook groin and is just going, Bruest will get a fair bit of midfield time tonight big games are going to be needed from smith , hill and shiels

 

[Max Powers]

Still at least Lovell gets another crack to show his wares.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Have to say I'm not confident given the outs and the inexperience we have in. At the same time excited to see how they perform.

Go Hawks!

 

[rdhopkins2]

Mitchell a huge out!

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Yikes.

 

[The Lemon]

I'm excited tonight. Feels like 2005/06 and we are building!

 

[LindaCresLove]

Omg, imagine the whining from the tiger supporters and other clubs, if we win. Has Wallace been an ump for us before?

Yep, the close one, V Footscray.
And going into the game Dad tipped the Dogs

 

[Tyrone Time]

I'm excited tonight. Feels like 2005/06 and we are building!

Who you supporting tonight?

Why keep playing him if his groin is that crook?

If they rest Mitch for a corky, surely you wouldn't keep Lewis out there limping along week after week.

 

[MistyAvalon]

who hates us??????????? I mean seriously what have we ever done to anyone but win games with good team players...... which angel up there in heaven is jealous?

I just don't believe it.

good luck all you newbies.... do your best

 

[seysearles]

Tonight Jordan Lewis must step up. He is the most senior guy in the midfield by miles.

 

[crazywildhorse]

I thought the NAB cup finished in March?

 

[MinerBoy]

Tonight Jordan Lewis must step up. He is the most senior guy in the midfield by miles.

I'm sure he won't lack for effort. Not always so easy to turn a run of poor form around though.

Here's hoping he has a bewdy.

 

[JordyLuke]

Mitch, Hodge, Frawley, Rough on the sidelines. Bloody hell.

 

[becalm]

I would have preferred Willsmore or Whitecross to Lovell. They would know our systems better. Those wanting Lovell in may not realise what a challange this is when so many senior players are missing. Anyway I hope he has a good game and can contribute.

 

[madhawksfan]

We'll have a good idea of what our future might be like tonight.

Need big games from Lewis, Shiels and one of the less experienced mids. Hope Silk plays more through midfield tonight also.

We must have 22 contributors with four of our stars out.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Oh dear.... Mitchell out is big. We miss him more than Hodge I reckon.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Don't expect to much from Lewis, he is playing with a crook groin and is just going....

Why the heck is he playing then? We can't afford a player in the midfield who is 'just going'!

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

.

Dislike

 

[Gralin]

Because his groin is not "cooked".
He is carrying a niggle.
He is playing a different role.
The news of his death have been greatly exaggerated.

Cooked groin sounds like something Hannibal Lecter would be into

 

[Jables]

To be honest I'm actually excited about this game, Mitchell is obviously great but having him out might force some guys to step up in bigger roles. It's Richmond though so the world is going to end tonight when we get smashed and we will never ever win a premiership this year despite going through the same stuff all the damn time.

 

[Goody1971]

More Burgers in the middle tonight perhaps??

 

[rdhopkins2]

Big opportunity today for some of the less experienced guys. I feel Lewis will be BOG in a narrow Hawks victory. Gunston to kick 6.
