Hawthorn vs Geelong MCG- Saturday July 20th 2019 - Edited Page 18 current discussion

[Luv_our_club]

So that makes it ok?

If you like we can also add punching port fans in the face and putting holes in walls when your 10 goals up.

Chris Scott goes and sits on the toilet if things get too tense.

Not quite reminiscent of Barrasi, Whitten and Kennedy.

That was actually a Geelong fan wearing a port jumper on the night, who’d already had a crack a couple of players and other staff.

He deserved his punch in the face.

You seem to endorse violence and aggression. Surely that's actually you Clarko?

What do you see when you look at the Hawks team on paper?

Still solid across lots of the field. There's a few younger guys who I'm less familiar with.

The mids seem to drop off quickly (is that due to injuries?). Amazing that Burgoyne is still going and is in the midfield at 35.

Hawks to win comfortably, Geelong look cooked for mine. Start of our run to September, strong possibility not to drop another game this year especially when Sicily and McEvoy get back

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Midfield for us is flying under the radar, isn't a hugely deep midfield but Is definitely more solid than even earlier in the year. Few of our supporters are either downplaying it tongue in cheek or just don't have much faith for some reason. Geelongs is better but it's not a significant gap. Kelly is the bloke I'm most concerned about. He will get off the leash and really hurt us I think. Our forward line is clicking though the past few weeks and the cats will have to kick a decent score to win this imo.

Would you like to expand on that

His arse is still sore from 2008.

Heard an interesting stat on kelly today. His disposal by foot is apparently 14%, so where is it he does the damage as I haven’t watched much of the cats this year.

I enjoy *******s being put in their place.

14% doesn't sound right? He is a butcher no doubt, but 14% would be laughably bad. Personally think he can be a very good player once he tidies up his disposal, just hope its not this week haha

 

[Pessimistic]

It could be close either way or a comfortable one to us.

I can’t see the cats get a hold of us. They just aren’t doing that against quality and getting luck or not getting luck in close games

Their luck is working in Canberra this weekend, which is a huge surprise

If Geelong can't beat this Hawthorn side handily tomorrow they have no business being in the finals anyway.

Translation: project your club and it’s deluded fans’ extreme jealousy via a mindless, vacuous three-word slogan...

Yeah good one

 

[yeahmate]

Geelong can't beat this Hawthorn side handily tomorrow, they have no business being in the finals anyway.

Spot on, agreed

What makes you think it should be a Comfortable win? Sicily is the big out for us and I would have said big boy as well but ceglar is doing well in his place. Could mount a case for Howe being a big out too I suppose as who do we choose to tag with, other than that there isn't much between the teams. Your gonna have to win the midfield battle easily to get a hold of us and it's not as bad as people are making out or it isn't as big an issue as it used to be.

In terms of pure mids we have 3 Mitchell, Jaeger and shiels, hybrid mids are Burgoyne, Worpel and Roughie (the ones that will push forward), we will probably run impey through there at stages as well. Not very deep but decent enough to be competitive with the 2 standouts leading the way.

Yep that stat is wrong - heard it on SEN this morning but just checked the afl site and it’s 63% only better than Jermaine Jones, Cockatoo and McCarthy

Grand final type match ....yes from 3 years ago ....lol

Lol bahhhhhaaaaa lol please tell me when to stop laughing
These two teams are making up numbers

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Was quietly confident until I saw the in's and out's from last game. On paper they are well ahead but for whatever reason have not been able to put it together consistently. We are in decent form but imo Geelongs best is better. What Geelong turns up is the real question.
However if we win I believe we are a fantastic chance of Top 4 and their season will rely on other teams losing to make finals. Huge game

 

[footy75]

None of these are smashings, they were all in it to the last Q.

ok good call... I´ll just shut up

And vice versa. Clubs on the fringe of the 8
