News 2015 Hawthorn Fixture (released 30 October 2014)

[Rabbitpig]

Can't see us playing the Dons Round 2 as we will have to be playing a Sunday game and I doubt they play that on a Sunday.

You don't think a 5 day break might figure into the AFL's agenda?

You never know with the AFL

 

[seysearles]

Playing the cheats in round 2 is a good omen* by the way

*based on this year

Well its good in so much as it would most likely that they make up 1 of our 4 double ups versus other teams in the top 8. Given that Geelong and Sydney are probably the other two then you'd guess it's either Freo or Port as the last.

 

[Agent Smith]

So nice to see it's our home game first up. It gives handbagger supporters the opportunity to see what back-to-back flags looks like (although apparently it's harder to win 'em every second year according to flog central).

I saw a leak that indeed has us playing the Dankers on the Sunday.

At least the G is better than the shithole of a stadium with more name changes than seating capacity.

Wonder who we have to sleep with to get a home game against them or the blues though.

Personally hope we take Mitch Robinson for the sole purpose of cleaning up old man Fletch and stopping him from getting to 400 games. (the dirty tripper doesn't deserve that accolade)

Please get it right. Its called SHITTYHAD!!

 

[MC_9]

The one thing that I know for certain, is that we will play Brisbane in Tasmania.

Ohh to see Hawthorn play in Brisbane, one can only hope.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Apparantely Newbold on radio has said we play an away game against North in tassie. Would that be as well or instead of a Launceston one?

DON'T want to be playing 5 games down there ffs

 

[Hawkk]

It'd have to be on top of.

We cant dictate where our away games are...

That's a ripping opening round. Should scatter tipping competitions everywhere early.

Will be a fifth.
We should negotiate out next deal to be three in Launceston plus an away game in Hobart.
Hobart > daylight > Launceston
Might get on a plane.

 

[Hawkk]

We can't negotiate for placement of away games, its against the very fabric of the competition

Lets assess the full draw before jumping to any conclusions

Of course we can. North just have to back it. We can do some deal to play them once in Hobart, once @ MCG with entry for their members, etc.

Ch7 inferred Crows v Hawks Rnd 13 Thurs 25/6

 

[TyHawk]

Surely we can't be given two Adelaide away games against the Port and Crows AGAIN!!!! Sick of this s**t! Much rather play Brissie or GWS away for a change.

The fixture hardly changes form year to year.
The supercomputer cannot handle change.

 

[MightyHawks]

Of course we will

If they stick to the system...
I'm expecting Cats, Swans & Port all twice from the top 6
Richmond or Essendon from the middle 6
Brisbane from the bottom 6

Then you look at which of the interstate teams will we host or travel to...
Travel: West Coast & Adelaide
Host: Fremantle, GWS, Gold Coast

It seems like we'll host generally host GWS and Gold Coast until they are competitive. GWS especially and Gold Coast are best off hosting the bottom 8 sides. Would be terrible for GWS if they hosted all of the top 8 sides... might never win at home

Pretty sure we'll be playing Port twice next year with other double ups against Cats, Swans, North, Collingwood and Carlton

 

[Hawkk]

According to the following article we won't be playing North in Hobart (unless we are scheduled for a practice game I guess?)

http://www.themercury.com.au/sport/...-2015-afl-season/story-fnj4f7h7-1227099006483

Looking like we'll get 2 Tassie games against Victorian clubs for the first time since 2009

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Double up against Carlton? Well we're certainly due for one! Last time we had a double up against the blues - 2006!

 

[cozhawk19]

The one thing that I know for certain, is that we will play Brisbane in Tasmania.

Ohh to see Hawthorn play in Brisbane, one can only hope.

Whilst i would love to see the Hawks play up here in Brisbane again, since our last Gabba game we have won 3 flags... Any stupid little superstition to keep the dream alive!!

Happy to travel to the Gold Coast...

Don't like at all. Probably means we have the bye in round 12.

The supercomputer must be from Western Australia

 

[MrPremiership]

the Thursday night game vs Adelaide will be in Adelaide to be the 25th anniversary of Crows inception in to the league...and against us
