Game Day Round 1, 2020: Hawthorn v Brisbane Lions, 22 March 2020, 3.40pm @ MCG

[PT Bar None]

I think it's optimistic to think that this season will continue, even in its compromised state. There are reports that other States are strongly considering following Tasmania's lead and requiring all visitors to enter quarantine for 14 days. If this proceeds, it would be curtains for the AFL season for the time being.

Derbies! Best of XVII Showdown series, etc.

 

[Cyril says]

My kids already have all their Hawthorn gear on and are very very happy.

I know the season is likely to be cancelled but I am going to enjoy today and let tomorrow look after itself.

Go Hawks.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Wet weather, we’ve gone in too tall, we won’t provide enough forward pressure, Lions smalls will cut us up...
Hawks by 21

We could have a ten team Victorian comp. Play at all the suburban grounds like we used to.

 

[borgo]

Potentially our first and last game of the year!

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

How do I get kayo for $5? Better than the $25 I normally pay ?

I’ve said it was crazy from the outset. However re interstate travel they will just have to make an exception for the AFL teams etc.

The big boys can’t afford to miss out on their profits. * the potential spread of disease. It only kills the elderly! Stuff them! Football the key to everything ! Money and football!

GO HAWKERS!!

Why invest so much energy into the game when the next week it could be all called off and it's all for nothing?

Why have a shower if you are only going to get dirty the next day?

 

[WWSD]

I should be sitting on Level 1 M12 right about now.

 

[Pessimistic]

If we lose we can vent and 'write off the season' and not sound like pork chops!

Two hours before the game started?

I would be at the cricketers on my 4-5th pot talking up how excited I am for the season and how I recon we’re a good thing today

I never understood pots..

 

[Ridingthebumps]

Not that it’s going to matter after today, but Poppy started his career as a small defender so with Impey and Hardwick out I am surprised they wouldn’t try him there. I know we also need small forwards, but he has been averaged in that role for a while so could have been worth a shot.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Potentially our first and last game of the year!

Yep. There's a bunch of players that really shouldn't be taking the field imo. Mitchell, Frawley, Big Boy, Gunston and Smith would all be rested if I was coaching this team.
Season 2020 is a write off, I would hate to see any Hawks (or Lions for that matter) cop a nasty injury a la Kreuzer on thurs...

Birch. Standard.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Birchall a late out, Robertson to make his debut

 

[TazHawk15]

Win lose or draw I am going to get on the grog and enjoy the game because I think its only a matter of time before all states do what Tassie have done.

 

[markr]

I can't be the only one who, on seeing Birch was out for Robertson, wondered for a second when we had drafted a Robertson?

Took me a second too!

 

[Bugs1977]

Birch. Standard.

It’s all my fault cause I have Birch in my Dream Team. Oh shite shouldn’t I be getting credit for this now?

 

[PT Bar None]

Birch. Standard.

Setback? 4 weeks away.

 

[Cleavy]

shorter games = later kick-off time
