[Cynic]

Two strong squads so in true preseason fashion it'll likely be a boring half pace run through by both teams.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Expecting a number of senior Hawks to be late withdrawals.

Can't turn down an opportunity to watch the Hawks though, even if it's a preseason giggle game.

Probably the most important game of North's season, so far.

Must say I thought 4-6 would be out.

Should make it a little more interesting anyhow.

Probably the most important game of North's season, so far.

Not sure they can recover and make the 8 if they lose this, coaches nuts are on the line too. Huge ramifications if North lose this

 

[Dan]

A bit more polish and no injuries will suffice.

Is there a stream?

Is there a stream?

Not via the website no.

Gee the breeze blocks arounnd the boundary look a bit lethal. Hope no one gets crunched

[Hawkers]

North cleaning up across half back really well

 

[southwest bomber]

Any chance the cameraman can move forward one row?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

I love the broadcast this far

Only 3 camera angles, actually get to see the game, rather than the sweat molecules on the players

Could be a little bit higher but I can't complain

 

[Hawkers]

Loving the look of Anderson. Shame he missed last year

PM please

 

[Hawkers]

Suckling just doing what he does.

Is Petrie in the backline going to be something we see a fair bit of this year? Now with Waite North have a bit of flexibility there

 

[Bluelegs]

Hawthorn look switched on. North seem to still be blowing out the cobwebs.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Average start from the Hawks but not panic stations week 2 of preseason

 

[Hawkers]

Are we watching the same game?

North look like the ones switched on, we're struggling with possession. We've basically just hit them on the counter

 

[Hawkers]

Hodgey looks like he has had a few pies and looks like he is running around after a few beers.

 

[WowWeee]

some horrid kicking by north

Couple of mistakes here and there, but your structures are sound, and you've capitalised on your opportunities. Don't look like you're getting out of first gear though.

North look super rusty, they've kicked poorly and put themselves under pressure.
