Preview Prelim Final 25 - Geelong V Hawthorn Fri 19th Sept 2025 740pm @ MCG

[OzeSparky]

Just remember at the end of the end of day we will flog them.

 

[Munich]

The bald dude on AFL Tonight thinks the Hawks will get it done.

Who?

 

[cats_09]

As per 7News tonight:

• Impey dealing with a calf complaint, but will play
• Gunston has had a scan on his hamstring, he'll be taking it easy on the training track this week which has reportedly normal but will be good to go
• Ginnivan also given the ok to play with his hamstring complaint

 

[Munich]

Is it Friday yet.

I hate prelims. Worse than the granny

 

[Seeds]

Just remember at the end of the day, it's a bunch of blokes kicking a pigskin around a park.

If we lose, it will suck....but the sun will still come up on Saturday morning.

Thats saints, bulldogs and bombers supporter talk.

You hate the two games that make afl worth it? This is what i live for.

They're so stressful to sit through.

Although I have been known to jump out of my seat and run to the back when it's close.

Yep I overlook a lot of things that annoy the living crap out of me by the AFL for the rush I get out of this time of year.

 

[Burtyl78]

This is good. Ginni in particular can't be 100%.

If Ginnavin and Gunston have hamstring tendinitis( if that’s correct) they just can’t go 100 percent, I had that shit this year and it sucks

 

[Play it Sam]

We'll soon see if the club are bluffing on Stanley. I reckon we might see him named to give him the extra day or so, but 50/50 on him playing. Judging from Dangerfield's comments last night, if he was able to do 10km's of running and join in the main training group this week then you'd think he's thereabouts.

And re the Nash hit on Miers. I don't think that was a targeted hit - very poor effort on Nash's part and deserved the weeks off but it was just very poor execution on his part I think. And I recall not too much remonstrating on the part of the Cats players.

Even so it proved to be a very very difficult recovery for Gryan. They won't want to try "poor execution" again, it means someone concussed (or the hitter) has no chance of playing the following week.
Not even Mitchell could be that stupid to encourage violent head high hits in a PF.

He wasn't adverse as a player to using the knee to cork players.

 

[thegerman]

Why would you suggest those two players?

Both running around at the last training. No problems

 

[Cataholic]

Who?

Used to play for WC.

Can't remember his name.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Used to play for WC.

Can't remember his name.

Will Schofield?

Kemp? or Schofield?

 

[Zouz Kitty]

I smell subterfuge.

That said, Danger did say he thought Stanley was no chance, but he did 10km on Friday and trained today.

Did he?

I reckon Scott has got Mitchell thinking long and hard.

Frankly, is Mitchell capable of “thinking long + hard”? Is he capable of actually thinking?

***I’m already regretting writing this. . .

He was one of the most hated players + now a despised coach.

That’s from a Google search.

Not from a Geelong supporter!

Anyhooo, I’ve jinxed us

 

[allrighty]

Watch the excuses roll in if they lose. We had underdone/injured players, had to travel interstate the first two weeks, umpires and AFL hate us and love the Cats etc.

Then you can guarantee they will say this: "they still can't beat us in Grand Finals."

The goal posts will have moved from "they can't beat us in cut throat finals" to the above. You can just picture it.

Victory would be so sweet.

IDGAF what they say if we win. They will be looking on after that.

You'd do well at our house!
Gets too close- Known to start scrubbing shit out of the BBQ with strict instructions for screaming when we goal.
Then watch five replays.

 

[thegerman]

Forgot that we lost Miers from a head high tackle in the earlier game this year. That was a significant loss of a playmaker for a large part of the second half.

That said, Hawks missed a lot of easy chances.

Alas there’s so much of a change to our style in that earlier game. A lot of players who have improved due to experience, were weaker in that early game. COS is a perfect example.

I hope we wear the longer stops. A lot of slipping over by us.

Kemp? or Schofield?

The truth is not a jinx.
That's why we've survived Dank Dung, Free Farms and Bailey Bullying.
And still get up collective noses with impeccable culture and on field success.
Fukc them all.

3. We've shown the 2013 Prelim to the playing group

Henry will do the job on Gunston, not sure who takes the dwarf though, he could do some damage. Meek is the other one that’s a big worry.
