Preview Round 2, 2020: Geelong v Hawthorn, 12 June 2020, 7.50pm @ GMBHA Stadium

Please let it be at the G for the melts

That would be a bonus but the Handbaggers have been begging the AFL for it to be at GMBGHFTRDSYUHGR stadium.

Just like they are seeking a handout from the Comp for their losses this year.

Poor Tom Mitchell is going to be rusty...

 

[thejockey]

Couldn't care less where we play them tbh.
If we are good enough we will beat them anyway .

Go 2-0 and send them 0-2 in a short year .

All for it being announced at the 'G' then the predictable whinging from Scott , Carter and Costa who will get rolled out to comment .

Will make the W even better .

SHocking will jump at the chance to fixture us at the Cheat Ground against his precious Handbaggers.

The AFL should cover our security costs to put our players under armed guard if they venture down to there. Wouldn't want one of our boys getting stabbed!

 

[Walshawk]

I hope it is in Geelong. Scott won't know what to do with hisself if there is nothing to whinge about.

There's never nothing to whinge about with Chris Scott, that's the issue.

 

[TylerDurden]

They're s**t after a bye. I'll play em anyway.

Must be keen to see Worpel in action again. Fair enough too.

[TylerDurden]

Kardinia. Let's go.

 

[TylerDurden]

We’ll beat them no matter where we play them. It will be interesting to see what there excuse is for losing then.

Got your wish

Huge bombshell that a lot of us were predicting a good week ago

 

[Xtreme]

The chance to send Ablett junior out as a loser in the (potentially) last contest he'll have against the Hawks is salivating.

Who takes him? Dimma or Sic?
Stratts on Danger when fwd?

I reckon we'll lose...

It seems over the years that lots of clubs play their Grand Final against us, mid-season.

Playing us, at craptown stadium, after almost 9 months off footy... it is their Grand Final.

Traditionally, they don't beat us in Grand Finals, but this one isn't one that counts...

 

[Nang]

Last time we played there in 2006 was one of our best wins in the early Clarko years. They were top of the ladder at the time, and we were coming off the Rocca vs Dawson mauling. We came out and somehow beat the cats by about 9 goals down there, Hodgey dominated them.

 

[stemline]

Nice that we're playing Geelong in our 2000th game. We beat them by 107 points in our 1000th.

Impossible to say how teams will go after such a long break.

The ground is an advantage but lack of crowd evens it out a bit.

Would be sweet to beat them down there for sure.

Our preseason tactics of going straight and direct should pay off at Kidney Stadium. Hello there Jon Patton, Mitch Lewis and Tim O'Brien.

 

[LRobbo]

Watch Clarko use playing at their dump of a venue as a way to motivate the playing group, similar to playing in the snow. Geelong hold no fears. Slow as treacle and pretty old and apart from Dangerfield unspectacular. Reckon the narrow ground may even suit our choking of opposition ball movement. The Chris Scott presser post a loss would be sublime viewing.

Yeah but there's always the chance of getting stabbed in a meth-ridden dive like Geelong.

The beauty is Ablett Jnr will leave the game as a loser no matter what happens. Traded money for loyalty and was a remarkably s**t captain. Would've won as many Premierships as his old man if his team wasn't the first jacked up on Peptides.

 

[Hodginator]

I wonder with a few weeks up our sleeve before the game, that they bring the boundaries in at Waverley. I recall reading about us doing it in recent times. Maybe for SCG games?
