Game Day Round 13, 2021: Sydney v Hawthorn, 11 June 2021, 7.50pm AEST SCG

[BeligerentBlue]

Sorry to intrude, just put money on you guys. At $5.75 the pressure is off the coach to try things and I like how your team looks on paper

 

[westhawk]

will be more than happy,just to see Papley knocked out.

 

[Brishawk]

Watching the 2014 GF as a warm up. * we were great! Let’s channel that same aggression tonight and smash them

 

[macdaddio]

I’ll be happy if we get within 5 goals.

To think Swans and Hawks practically begun rebuilding around the same time !

They've benefitted greatly from their academy, which has allowed them to secure the below players.

First Round Selections: Heeney (2014), Mills (2015), Blakey (2018) and Campbell (2020).

Sydney also matched a second-round bid at pick No.32 last year for Gulden.

It's no surprise they've rebounded so strongly.

 

[Jazzfan]

Do we think Big Boy will spend a fair bit of time forward? With Lewis out, and Reeves best in the middle for development and lack of forward craft...

 

[local hack]

LOL some of these “I’ve got a good feeling about tonight’s game” quotes are gonna come back to haunt a few after tonight’s game!

How so? The ‘I’ve got a good feeling’ is the right of supporters of a team in the bottom few. Shitney aren’t a great team, but * me we are paying $5+, feelings are about all we have cause there’s no form, so no I won’t be haunted if a 1.10 winner gets up

 

[madhawksfan]

Just want to see some positive footy instead of the dross we have served up the past few weeks. Need to start trying to play footy that could see win games in the future once our youngsters develop their consistency.

Excited to see Day back and hoping Jai can have a solid debut. Not expecting him to step in and dominate as that’s a lot to ask.

With TO and Frost to mark Buddy, would not surprised me if BB played behind the ball a bit. We look very short with Hartigan and Lewis out.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Just want to see a bit of heart and soul tonight, honestly.. a genuine crack and I’ll be happy

 

[Oraz]

anway i think u guys r a chance 2nite

Pretty much same here.

The main thing I will be watching tonight is our game style as I have watched a fair bit of footy of the good teams the last two weeks and I want to see at least a glimmer of hope that we can begin to move towards a more free flowing, attacking style instead of what has been dished up so far this year.

then add 2 for 1 deals with their academy

Yes he should, young forwards need leadership and tuition. He was the only one looking dangerous up forward against the Suns.

All I can think of is that when there's a will, there's a way!
Only lost to the Cats by less than a kick also, albeit with them missing some decent players, granted.

Looked better early in the season definitely.

On a more serious note I am worried about this game. I hope you guys don't come up but it would not surprise me if you manage to achieve a surprise victory. Swans are not the same team we were in the first month or so as we are missing our young players who all made a real difference in those rounds.

 

[Cleavy]

oh we're playing tonight? based on the ch7 commercial, I thought Buddy would be kicking it to himself for 3 hours.

We used to have some absolute cracker home and away matches, our clubs. And oddly, we seemed to win up there and you down here - hostile territory victories abound.

Yep, and despite how you guys are a very different team in 2021 I still have PTSD and like a Vietnam Vet who goes into a ball when he hears a helicopter overhead I can't help but have a worried reaction whenever I see the Hawthorn guernsey.

haha, feeling would be mutual regardless of ladder positions.

[offtherails9]

* me lol. Just when you're up and about Ceglar gets the late call up. Is Lewis completely incapable of playing second ruck?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

If playing JOM and Worpel in the goal square against North wasn’t enough, replacing Reeves with Cegs....we’re officially tanking.

 

[TylerDurden]

fu** me lol. Just when you're up and about Ceglar gets the late call up. Is Lewis completely incapable of playing second ruck?

Concussed

 

[Mrzohs]

I was worried when I sore Ceglar as a emergency his vfl is not valid.

Last chance for the big fella let's see what he can do.
