Round 7: Dockers v Hawks

[Lach72]

It's going to be a tough game I think, but if our mids can get some ball, Dockers by 4 goals.

[sniper5]

Well its a game that Fremantle really have to win. I thought they were no where near there best against the lions.....Hawks have almost proven that they will be amonst it this year once again and Lance Franklin will be hard to match for the dockers. I reckon dockers by a goal should be a very close match!

[mulhollanddrive]

As a Hawthorn fan, i rate our chances this w/e. Quite confident of winning the midfield.

[duncan]

I reckon Lach72 and IP will spend the entire game paying out on the Freo players and staff if the recent gameday threads are anything to go by.

I reckon you can KMA.

[Roughie]

It will be a good game, we really have to lock down on Pav and Tarrant and try strangle any good supply to them.

[Cynic]

With some extra attention on Buddy the question will be whether our other forwards can stand up.

[rumblah]

Roughead will be dropped unless he kicks goals, i hope anyway

Edit: just read Roughy has been dropped woohoo!

[ditto]

With some extra attention on Buddy the question will be whether our other forwards can stand up.

If the dockers need to pay "extra" attention to any of the hawks they are in trouble.

The dockers need to be the aggressors to win, and make the hawks change their game plan.

Personally I think the hawks midfield will get more of the ball. Add to that the hawks defence is better than the dockers atm; Hawks by 16 points.

Which will flatter the dockers because they will make a 3-5 goal surge late in the 4th quarter.

[scottyD]

My guess:

Goals:

Pavlich 4
Tarrant 3

Dixon 2
Franklin 5


Possesions:

J.Carr 23

Mitchell 26



average guns:

C.Young will play good
Hodge will play extremely well but the ball will not find him often

Sandilands will dominate ruck but not effectiveness
P.Bell serious injury

[scottyD]

hawks by 14

[DonMania#5]

Freo by a few goals. Pavlich and Tarrant will be the difference.

[rumblah]

My guess:

Goals:

Pavlich 4
Tarrant 3

Williams 2
Franklin 5


Possesions:

J.Carr 23

Mitchell 26



average guns:

C.Young will play good
Hodge will play extremely well but the ball will not find him often

Sandilands will dominate ruck but not effectiveness
P.Bell serious injury

hes out for most of the year

[scottyD]

hes playing though

[rumblah]

Mark Williams is out for up to 12 weeks. Hes not playing.

What are you on about?

[scottyD]

dw... i looked at the wrong round... miscuse

[Jafa]

Looking forward to this one. This will all but end the chase for a top four spot for Freo after the Hawks finish them off.

[markfarmer]

Weather update. I thought it was to be a fine day BUT,

It rained this morning(until 7am or so) a bit. Grass is currently pretty wet. The report says showers clearing.

I think it will still be slippery at Game Time.

I think Chance Bateman will have a top Game today.
His ability to scoop it off a wet surface at pace is second to none.

We are missing a few of our Ground swoopers....ie Schammer , Peake, Farmer, Browne and Hopefully no more as there is a Virus reportly going through the Club.

Time to get tuff and put on desperate Pressure.. to Crack the Hawks into a error ridden Game....

[NiGHTFuRY]

I reckon Lach72 and IP will spend the entire game paying out on the Freo players and staff if the recent gameday threads are anything to go by.

wow - a trolling eagles bellend - theres something you don't see everyday....:rolleyes:

[Hawkk]

Wet should suit Hawthorn...

Having said that, Fremantle's pace in the middle has been questioned lately - if the Hawks had any advantage pace wise over the Dockers, it would be eliminated thanks to the rain.

I'm hopeful that Sewell, Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis have the hard bodies required to cope with the wet conditions - if it turns out to be a wet slog.

[NiGHTFuRY]

dw... i looked at the wrong round... miscuse

... and a Man Utd fan to boot. Your special

[Jafa]

wow - a trolling eagles bellend - theres something you don't see everyday....:rolleyes:

Is it considered trolling if it`s accurate?

[Jafa]

Sigh - what is it with Seven.

It`s delayed, and what's more - we get a little train trip thing in Vietnam. Surely they could have found a half hour filler.

[ThePope]

Damn Trent kicks the opening goal in the opening minute.
And after an eagles/demons/dogs filled preview, Vlahos gets his first (incorrect) dig at the dockers..."Trent kicks a goal for the Hawks, he didn't kick that many for Freo in his time there".

No, he only led the goalkicking with 42, his best ever return for a season, in 2002.

[ThePope]

Pav started in the centre, Sandi and Gilmore both missed OOB on the full.
Buddy shoots but misses.
9 minutes gone, no score to Freo.
Franklin has Dodd on him... Pav turns the ball over and it rebounds, good lead to Franklin, 30m out, bad miss though.

[ThePope]

Campbell Brown picking up Pav.
15 mins
lots of flooding, I mean "players behind the ball", by both teams.
Croad gets a free kick against McPharlin. goal
0-14
Freo can't get the ball, or keep it when they get it.

[legitimatic]

God we are a rubbish team....

[Total Power]

Come on Freo.

[Purple Passion]

I think its safe to say we WON"T win the premiership, i just hope to God its not gonna be as bad as Richmond after 2002

[ThePope]

Goal to Boyle after good tap on from Mitchell.
1-20.

not looking good.

Some one needs to show these guys some highlights of Con Regan's career - play with some heart for a change.

[Alex_au]

Great to see Croad up forward :):thumbsu:

[- PC -]

Well its a game that Fremantle really have to win.

Only so the Freo fans can lord it over the Eagle fans :p

[ThePope]

Walker goals with only seconds left on the clock.
7-21.

Not quite direct, quick movement though - but I guess they were looking at 15 opposition players ahead of the ball.

From an uncontested interception mark on the half back flank we went handball, handball, short kick, short kick, run/bounce, short kick (switch), ineffective kick, loose ball get, handball, handball, goal from 50m.

[- PC -]

Come on Freo.

I tipped them as well...need them for 6

[Total Power]

I tipped them as well...need them for 6

I have freo on a massive multi.So far so good but i will be pissed off no ends if freo ****s up my multi.

[DynamoUltra]

Floodmantle!

[pafc4life]

i tipped the hawks. go hawthorn. if Freo cant turn it around in the last 3 quarters, there season is literally over with a trip to Skilled next week.

[superstar]

Great hardness at the footy in the first term.

Freo way too Buddy conscious (still had two shots), allowing Croad and Boyle to get away.

[ThePope]

Floodmantle!

pots, kettles etc.

Croad marks against Grover, but misses.

Tough 50m against Headland for a tackle after the marking contest... goal to I thought they said Campbell... Afl website say Lewis
7-28

[xellis]

goal campbell!
not biased commentry on 6PR at all :rolleyes:

[Ted Ed Fred]

Headland you ****head. What's that **** on your arm t*sser. Last time I ever tip Freo :thumbsd:

Good luck with that...if it does get up put it all on Nadal for the FO :thumbsu:

[YOTC]

I had a multi worth $2,600 to me.

99.9% complete, i had Geelong to win by 39.5+. We won by 39. Stokesy broke my heart after the siren.

[ThePope]

"and again Hawthorn push numbers back"

fast break coast to coast goal to the hawks to Ladson after a point from Headland.

getting very worrying.

[johnnyhoward]

Hawthorn better win this, just chucked $100 on them at 2.96, as well as the $100 I already had at +15.5.

[PoidaCat]

GO HAWKAS!1!!!!1 :thumbsu: :thumbsu: :thumbsu: :D

I need this tip.

[Magpie]

If Freo lose will Conolly go?

Ouch, I heard he had a shot on the siren, don't tell me he kicked it out on the full? And I thought my loss on Melbourne today was shattering.

[xellis]

Buddy doesn't have the kicking boots on yet. Watch out once he finds his mark

[Magpie]

2 goal turn around as Buddy misses.
14 to 35

[ThePope]

Buddy hits the post.

Adam Campbell gets a hands in the back free...
kicked 8 last week in the WAFL last week... straight through the middle.

14-35

[Keithy George]

Freo fans would be shitting themsleves. Hawthorn are actually playing good footy this season much to my contempt

[Warwick]

Why do I tip Fremantle?

[ThePope]

4 on one to Pav, free kick, point.
Both teams about the same # of possesions... Freo about 1:1 kick to HB, Hawks about 2:1.

[Bombers_Forever]

Why do I tip Fremantle?

I think we are all asking that question.

Premiership favourites........yeah right

[Alex_au]

Sandelands killing us in the ruck.

[Keithy George]

Freo have predictable inconsistency if theat makes sense. I tipped Brisvegas last weekend, I couldve put my house on it. I tipped them to beat Adelaide as they historically do well against them and tipped against them when they played Essendon. They really haven't learned from previous years mistakes. I think they are one of the easier sides to pick with regards to tipping

[johnnyhoward]

Why do I tip Fremantle?
I tipped them as well but bet on the Hawks - look at the Dockers' form over the past few weeks...in fact, this year. It's ordinary.

[xellis]

sounded like a good goal to hasleby

[ThePope]

Another coast to coast rebound from a point... good pass to Crawford, but missed.
Another coast to coast rebound from a point... good pass to Tarrant by Headland, but plays on and misses.
Interception by Hase in the middle and goals on the bounce.

[xellis]

ouch headland goal. 8pts in it. Crawf missing an easy goal hurts.

[Hood007]

I had a multi worth $2,600 to me.

You poor bastard. That's massive...

[ThePope]

Headland kicks a crumbing goal when Pav is spoiled.
28-36!

[johnnyhoward]

Damn, looks like the Hawks are gone...

Lost $400 this weekend, but luckily still ahead for the year.

[ThePope]

Hasleby starting to get some ball... but Croad marks in front of Mundy... misses OOB on full.

[specialedition]

heasland goal
GRRRR

[ThePope]

Headland crumbs again... that @#@$ on his arm is at least in the right place at the right time now.
34-36!

[ThePope]

Adam Campbell kicks a goal to hit the front for the first time.

Tarrant, Haze and Headland the keys.

[johnnyhoward]

I tipped them as well but bet on the Hawks - look at the Dockers' form over the past few weeks...in fact, this year. It's ordinary.
As soon as I said that, Freo got their first of four on the trot.

Hawks are shot here :eek:

35-8 becomes 36-40

[cakewalk06]

Where is Ryan Murphy for the Dockers? Is he injured or something or just can't get a game? Was just watching the game and see on the afl website that he played round one and hasn't played since ... he looked good last year

[Back Pocket Rocket]

I am so pissed right now. We were up 26 and Crawf missed a sitter. They then kick the next 5! As a senior player he needs to kick them:mad:

[xellis]

Mcglynn goal. much needed.

[ThePope]

McGlynn goals to put the Hawks back in front by 1 point.

Webster kicks OOB.
Almost a clanger in front of goal... rushed by Bateman.

Scores level at half time.

Murphy didn't do that well in the pre season, Campbell has jumped ahead of him (as well as Tarrant). Kicked 8 for South this week though - Campbell kicked 8 last week for West Perth as well.

[wce_all_da_way]

Campbell deserves to be ahead IMO, although I don't pay that much attention to Freo. Campbell has shown alot for West Perth.

[superstar]

Arrghh!

Awful stuff there. Let the game open up and Freo (Headland) cut us up. Need to get it back to a scrap and keep winning the hardball.

Set shot misses from Franklin, Croad and Crawf really hurt. Reminding me a bit of the Bulldogs game here. Getting punished for missed shots and skill errors. Need to lift.

didn't make the distance. was about 35-40m out, shanked it too.

[ThePope]

From listening to the game I'd say Hasleby started to match your midfield, Tarrant started to push up the ground and present well, and Headland just finished of their good work.

Set shot misses from Franklin, Croad and Crawf really hurt. Reminding me a bit of the Bulldogs game here. Getting punished for missed shots and skill errors. Need to lift.
You could have nearly finished us off if you had kicked better, but it's 6.6 each and we've had 3 OOBs, so you can't really blame poor goal kicking.

[peppy la pew]

Headland you ****head. What's that **** on your arm t*sser. Last time I ever tip Freo :thumbsd:


You really are a deadset obsessed Freo trollop, i bet you didn't pick the cats either.

It's a tatoo of his daughter, you miserable fool.

[johnnyhoward]

LOL at those getting angry over Freo in the first quarter - they're running all over these Hawthorn hacks now.

[ThePope]

Missed the start of the quarter!
Tarrant and Campbell each goal to put us out to a 2 goal lead!

[ThePope]

LOL at those getting angry over Freo in the first quarter - they're running all over these Hawthorn hacks now.
I was only worried, not yet angry... and I'm still not comfortable... long time still to go!

Robert Cambpell takes possession at a ruck contest, tackled by Crowley, free kick goal.
61-43.

Freo chant starts up.

[hawk3R_4lyfe]

don't speak too soon Johnny. Go bend over for your old mate Bushy!

[johnnyhoward]

Have Hawthorn gone to sleep? Since the 10 minute mark of the 2nd quarter the Dockers have scored 47 to 8.

Wasn't talking about you Benedict, you've always remained calm. Mainly disgruntled Freo tippers were angry.

[johnnyhoward]

don't speak too soon Johnny. Go bend over for your old mate Bushy!
Hehe :) I hate Howard as well, don't worry. Milky Bar Kid Rudd all the way.

Freo bang on another one, 61-43. Hawks are a joke.

This is crap! Is Ben Dixon alive? When you are up by 5 goals you don't let the other team in if you are any good. :mad:

I cannot believe you loaded up big time on the underdogs, like you did with the demons.

Both were in with a show - Melbourne were leading in the last quarter, Hawks were up by 5 goals at one stage. I lost both times but you have to admit at these huge odds it was unlucky for not one of them to get up.

[Total Power]

Come on freo...need a couple more
