Game Day Hawthorn v Carlton

[Hawk Dork]

If you cant find the AFL on tv in a pub in Thailand your not trying hard enough
unless its a Bhudist holiday and even then the beer comes in coffee cups you just have to ask for Tigerchino

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Have a funny feeling about this.

Haven't lost in Tassie for a while, haven't lost to them for a while, and this is that time of the year when in the past we have dropped a game unexpectedly to a lesser opponent.

Hope I'm wrong.

We can't afford to drop this game as it would make North and West Coast both must wins.

 

[Teamwork Talks]

Cyril in doubt

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Cyril in doubt

Wouldn't want him out as we are already missing Poppy.

 

[Teamwork Talks]

Blake Hardwick in

 

[Clarkos_Soldier]

Hollidaying in Thailand & just found out Foxtel go doesn't work outside of Australia

Get a VPN and choose an Australian server. That should do the trick.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Blake Hardwick in

Is that confirmed ?

 

[tige19]

Is that confirmed ?

Yup

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Yup

What's wrong with Cyril ? Or do they just not like playing him in Tasmania ?

 

[Bradkli]

Cyril out with a quad. Tim O'Brien needs to pull his finger out today!! Take some marks and kick some goals.

 

[kimbopen]

No you don't.

Avoid hangovers - stay drunk!

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Our forward pressure has just taken a savage hit this week.

He seems to miss a lot of tassie games...if they think its best then thats better than missing finals but it is curious

I hope this puts an end to all the talk of "you don't debut someone at this time of the year".

Really excited to see Dimma. He's deserved this opportunity.

 

[Hodginator]

Yeah, not ideal having Poppy and Cyril both out. Big game for the likes of TOB, Sicily, Langers, WX and Hardwick to apply some strong pressure and hit the scoreboard.

 

[Glenhope]

Blake Hardwick? What's the lowdown on him?

 

[Brant]

Blake Hardwick? What's the lowdown on him?

From what I recall when drafted, he's a FP who loves bags of goals. From memory he can win his own ball & marks well.

No idea how he's gone at BH though.

Blake Hardwick? What's the lowdown on him?

Kicked 3 last week against the Tigers, strong overhead, good set shot, tackles hard

You reckon ? 12 goals in 11 VFL games and in the best a couple of times.... I don't know if I'd go as far to say he deserved an opportunity.

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Mitch & TOB not out?

Junior not too bad obviously if he travelled & trained yesterday. Week off to be cherry ripe.

He's still learning his positioning but he's a first year forward who has been playing without any KPF support most of the year.
Nobody else they could bring in to play forward as effectively and we've lost two smalls from that part if the ground, he's the right choice in this case.
I think they gave Cyril every chance to get up for this game and Dimma wouldn't have debuted if Sizzle was good to go or it was a final.

 

[HBF]

Is Hardwick any relation to Dimma?

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Is this the most inexperienced side we've had all year?

Whitex OBrien Sicily Brand Orourke Hardwick.

From memory the last two times Squirrel has done his hammy it was in cold, frigid climates (Tassie against the Suns and MCG against North). Maybe they are cautious about playing him in those conditions if they think they can get away with it..
