Preview Round 7, 2019: Melbourne v Hawthorn, 4 May 2019, 1.45pm @ MCG

Jack Viney missing the next couple of weeks is a bonus

We’ve copped a little luck in this area with reiwoldt and Robbie gray missing in coming weeks. Maybe even Coniglio with his finger will miss ina fortnight. Handy.

 

[Davo-27]

Cousins might miss this week, it looked like he elbowed the guy to the side of the head, he looked like he felt guilty that he did it, thats why i believe he'll get a week, but worse gets let off on the tribunal so who knows, they might not think its worth their time and fine him or let him off?

one good quarter and we beat Carlton, lucky Carlton has not got much belief, we made them go in their shell after a quality 3rd quarter, although if that mark got paid to McKay then we'd be looking at a 2-4 start to the season

on other news, good to see M.Walker and Minchington debut at BHH

 

[Hawk_francais]

Howe and Shiels coming back in has steadied us immensely around the ball. They may not be huge accumulators but they know how to defend a stoppage, while the experience of Worpel and Cousins has been on show a little for the past few weeks.

Gawn and Preuss will both play, I suppose? I don't know if we'll back McEvoy and O'Brien/Rough to do the job. Rough in particular struggling to have an impact forward with so much time in the ruck. Ceglar could find his way back in.

Melbourne defenders having nightmares about Tim O’Brien rn

Dear Hawthorn,

We lost when it mattered against Melbourne last year and it stings! Well I’m still hurting anyway.

Hard to believe what a poor start they have had to the season, considering how brilliant they were supposed to be.

What we did against Carlton cannot be underestimated. Teams such as Melbourne and st kilda would have lost to an inspired Carlton by 7 to 8 goals. We did well to come back and win it with a 53 point turnaround before conceding junk goals. You can’t question our club’s character ever!

I really hope we bring our second half form into this week. We need the momentum!

That female umpire had an absolute shocker on the weekend. It's great seeing her out there doing the job however female or not she had half a dozen incorrect rulings and that's not even getting to the Luke Bruest fiasco when he was on the angle kicking for goal. It was awesome hearing BT blow up about it because he like many wanted us to lose so bad. Did everyone else see all the halftime media build up about how Carlton has arrived and Hawthorn were dead in the water. The hate is still strong for us.

If that was Melbourne Kicking for goal they would have mentioned it once, but they kept harping on it and showed it about 4 times. Agree it was bad umpiring but why didn’t the Carlton layers arc up about it. Very clever by Breust.

 

[GlenferrieOval3122]

Great to see Silk back, steadying influence, great skills, plenty of experience - exactly what we need. Sat arvo football at the G, about time.

 

[GlenferrieOval3122]

we work over max Gawn like Port did, nothing illegal just let him know he is in for a very long afternoon.

Keep you fantasies to yourself

If you changed your user name to "Cotchins dog" Hamish McLachlan would follow you.

 

[MrPremiership]

James Cousins' hit was graded low Hawthorn - which carries an automatic 1 game suspension

The grading of it as intentional is what got him a week.

It was always going to get a "low impact" grading as SPS played out the game, wasn't concussed and nothing was broken.

We should get intentional downgraded to careless, then its a fine and he plays

 

[Mrzohs]

Disagree. Each to their own though I guess.

But god damn, just how vocal are you! To get warned in the MCC you need to be acting like a proper campaigner, ive never seen it happen in the 19 years ive been a member.

I would be furious if took a mate in as a guest and he acted out so badly that he got warned, not once, but TWICE, putting my own membership in jeopardy.

Mcc is not for everyone i enjoy a beer on a nice afternoon while I watch my side , and i like to cheer when my side kicks a nice goal.
Great spot if you wanna be left alone and watch the game in silence.

Choose my regular seats with follow hawthorn members everytime.

Both O'Meara and Worpel referred to the half-time rev up in their post-match interviews. Worpel said he could not repeat what Clarko said.

Would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the half-time rooms.

Interesting coz Shiels said everything was very relaxed at half time in his post match interview. Sounds like someone telling porkies.

 

[Dewnior]

I've given up on the MRP, like the umpiring it's whatever it is at the time, no point looking at any other decision ever

Ahahahahahahahahahaha they're all mine, all mine (imagine it cackled in the voice of the wicked witch of the west)

 

[Phil McCreviss]

LOL Giants

Well pre the Beckham trade.

Notice I excluded the Knicks

 

[Hawker55]

It's the legal team. Geelong go in all smoke and mirrors and bring in enough footage, experts, etc. to get the jury thinking there is enough grey area to get it overturned. We go in with no game plan hoping for a change.

Yes because if there's one thing I know about Hawthorn it's that we're an unprofessional rabble off the field.

Get a grip.

 

[TylerDurden]

Cousins accepted.

 

[Gralin]

Cousins accepted.

I'm not surprised. He's got no hope of the Danger discount and given our last attempt at overturning an accidental trip by pleading guilty with Howe, I wouldn't expect the club to get me off if I was him

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Praying that Gunston gets over the injury that's bothering him soon, been very quiet and only managed 5.9 this season thus far.

 

[Yardie]

Yes because if there's one thing I know about Hawthorn it's that we're an unprofessional rabble off the field.

Get a grip.

That's a bit of a reach. One area in which we have been woeful in the past means that ALL AREAS are woeful!!! Go and check our recent record in THIS ONE AREA and compare it to Geelong in THIS ONE AREA. Chalk and cheese.

 

[Pessimistic]

A rest will be good for cuz
There’s no box hill fixture

 

[IdiotBox]

I think that Worpel would want us to believe he's the mixture based off his performances.

"The Mixture" ?????? Doesn't quite have the same ring as "The Package" or "The Dominator" does it?

 

[bradburygold]

Well pre the Beckham trade.

Notice I excluded the Knicks

They have Saquon who is worth the price of admission alone. He is even better with Space Jam music.

Melbourne do worry me from the POV that they could potentially wake up and start playing that quality football again. No doubt it will happen at some point. I just hope it doesn't happen this week.
