AFL 2019 Round 1: Adelaide v Hawthorn, 4:05pm ACDT AO

That Sicily is a bit of a campaigner.

A bit more accurate

 

[PAFC_1870]

Got to feel sorry for Rory, getting sucked in to sign on for another 5 years of this

Are you kidding? That's the biggest fleecing contract of all time.

He'd still be laughing he got 5.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Hawks very inaccurate. Could be costly.

 

[SickQwon]

I knew you all would sleep on the Hawks, they'll win the grand final.

 

[SSwans2011]

I can just tell this will result in Adelaide playing their GF next weekend FFS.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

bit early for that!

They look a lot more direct and have been less predictable at the coal face.

Just sayin.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Hawthorn are actually better without Tom Mitchell: my thesis.

How so?

 

[Drewie11]

This is embarrassing

 

[JHF1870]

If, as seems likely at this stage, Hawthorn beat Adelaide, which result will make Port supporters happier = their own win against Melbourne or this?

Are you even asking that question?

 

[Giant Pete]

These rules have had a massive impact on the way the game is played. Looks like some coaches haven’t adapted as well as others.

 

[Back One Out]

No idea what you said, but that you must've missed most of the game to post all that.

JoondalupJ doing the one percenters

Come on Hawthorn! Team effort! Stick it up 'em!

Deja vu after a Vic club did the same thing to them last year before they visited the Swannies...

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Seems like the teams that rely on perfection in ball movement are the ones that struggle the most against Clarkson Hawks.

 

[GlocksTickin]

Crows look like they're strutting around Glenelg Beach sipping Late's.


Gutless Sissies.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

A bit more accurate

Lol

I think he enjoys the hate. Like Toby he does need to be discillined and understand the boundaries, but I love it.

 

[SSwans2011]

Yep. Just reeks of it. They'll get slammed in the media and come out wanting to make a statement.

That being said, it also took a woeful performance from us last year to make it happen.

 

[JoondalupJ]

NOW LIKE DAYS OF OLD HAWKS PLAY LIKE YOU ARE ONE GOAL BEHIND NOT 5 IN FRONT.

Any one tell me something is not wrong with our game when the frees turn around and run the other way.
Tell me someone though, what was the free against Poppy for in the last moments of that quarter, because I don't know? Thought it was Crow caught dead cold!!
Jason may explain it during the break!!!!! ha ha ha !

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

How so?

It was really a light hearted remark but my previous post explains why it might not be crazy.

 

[La Dispute]

So are we giving Adelaide Pick 1 or are they giving us Pick 1?

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

Jesus, I've only just dug up the courage to check the scores after our performance, but what is going on here? I thought this was the biggest gimme in the whole round outside of Richmond v Carlton.

WTF dal Santo?

 

[HawkMongrel]

Hawthorn doing nothing special. Game says more about Adelaide and their complete lack of a plan B.

What a stunning revelation from a Dons fan.

Apologies then - it is easy to mistake it for serious though because plenty don't actually rate him.

I'd argue his best work isn't done at clearances anyway, it's his gut running to get loose ball and make options (takes 5 marks a game which would be top 15 for a mid, top 5 for an inside mid, and is oft missed when rating Mitchell).

Considering we're a bit off full strength would have thought it's a pretty good lock down job so far. We will play with a bit of flair at full strength.

Forgive him, he's choking on his pre-season (and post wingard, scully trade) prediction that Hawks would finish bottom 4. Hard to speak clearly with his foot so firmly in his mouth. Wait until he has to call out Wingard and Scully's names in 2-3 weeks time.
