Looking forward to abandoning the Goodes thread for a few hours and getting stuck into the footy.

I reckon this'll be a great match. Richmond looking to bounce back and you would have to think the Hawks will come down to earth just a little after the past few weeks.

Wouldn't you?

From Hawthorn Football Club:

Hawthorn has played Richmond 152 times for 68 wins and 84 losses, the deficit being wholly accounted for by Hawthorn losing the first 21 games between the two clubs from 1925 to 1936.

The Hawks’ best sequences of wins against Richmond were 16 (1985-94) and 10 (1959-64).

Hawthorn has won seven of its last 10 matches against Richmond.

The three losses came in seasons (2008, 2012 and 2013) when Hawthorn went onto play in the Grand Final and were by significant margins of 29, 62 and 41.

The sequence of losing to Richmond in years when the Hawks made the Grand Final ended last season as Hawthorn thrashed Richmond by 66 points in Round 6.

Hawks by 41.

Edit: A gameday thread is already up.

Dammit. Started writing this one and then got sidetracked by work. Feel free to delete/merge/whatever.

 

[midorigreenwood]

hurrah....this matchup looks great on paper

hopefully it doesn't disappoint as has been the case with friday night footy in recent times.

Of course I'm rooting for the tiggers to help maintain the "No Hawks" club in the top 2

Or delete the other one. This one's better.

 

[prodigy1311]

Tiges by a kick!

 

[DERIBERATE]

This feels like it could be a good old fashioned 1 pointer.

 

[Tiger71]

Huge game just not in the contest of our season but for seasons to come. Our club has been building, if we could pull off another mission impossible, the playing group would have to start to believe that there best is good enough against anybody. I just hope to god we don't get smashed

Head says Hawks by 23

Hart Tigers by 10

Prediction, Tigers by 13 points!

 

[Lsta062]

Clarkson is having his 250th, so Richmond win...

Head says Hawthorn by 40+ points

Heart says Richmond by 19 points.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Hawks 95
Tigers 75

Richmond's forward line isn't good enough against the best teams. They can't score the 90+ required to win generally.

 

[Power Raid]

a closer contest than most may think

10 points either way

 

[HairyO]

Best spine ever seen !

 

[beaver's army]

Best spine ever seen !

I wouldn't go best ever seen but I agree it is looking good.

[Cynic]

Our team lineup looks ridiculously good.

 

[pantskyle]

I hope the Hawks smash the s**t out of the Tigers.

First team to 50

 

[Tiger71]

I hope the Hawks smash the s**t out of the Tigers.

And que the West Coast trolls. Anything about the game you would like to add or is that it ?

 

[Milanista28]

Mon TIGES!!!!

 

[pantskyle]

And que the West Coast trolls. Anything about the game you would like to add or is that it ?

How is it a troll for wanting the Hawks to win and win well?

Don't be so precious.

 

[MinerBoy]

I hope the Hawks smash the s**t out of the Tigers.

I also share this wish.
