Game Day Round 5 2019: Hawks v Cats, 3:20pm @MCG

[OhhhhhCyril]

****en train replacement is bullshit. Taking forever grrr.

Low expectations heading in, but I do love these Easter Monday games, and expect we will fire up a bit, especially after last week.

God I hope we win today. Hate these pricks

 

[Max Powers]

Not overly confident about this one, but you never know.

Really looking forward to watching Mitch Lewis, don't expect him to set the world on fire but hoping to see some glimpes of what he offers.

Go Hawks!

3:20 is a ridiculous time. FU Gil and the other brain trusts that thought this was a good time to be playing footy. 2:20 should be the latest.

You can thank the giant cheque Channel 7 delivered to the AFL for that. Means the game runs right up to their News telecast

Which is when I switch off, or turn to netflicks or watch a DVD. So to me it’s a pointless exercis by Chanel 7.
They could easily do a show at the end of the match to do a quick recap of the weekends footy and results, before going to the news.

 

[Hawks1994]

Unfortunately you're using one thing they don't even know the meaning of. Logic.

No one watches the news anymore, we've already heard everything that's happen hours before hand. Not to mention the majority of the news is like womens weekly now.

I tend to agree, and what they do report, we are so conditioned, that it is no longer shocking or informative, it just becomes repetitive drivel.

 

[Jaeger]

Stratton out for Mizz...

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[fpm84]

Stratton out for Mirra.

 

[Flamin Joe]

What I want to see? This every time they cross to the Geelong coaching box.

 

[abe8009]

Superstar that he is

 

[abe8009]

I fully expect this gap to widen today too

 

[Hawks1994]

Stratts out makes a hard task that little bit harder

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Would have preferred TImmy O than Mirra. We really love going into games undersized don't we. If Ratagulea finds a bit of form today he will make a mess of Mirra physically. The guy is a huge unit. At least Timmy would provide us with decent rebound and a better contest aerially. Mirra clearly 1 of Clarko's favourites.

 

[ClarkoCommandos]

Why is that ****en hack Mirra in!!!!! Shouldve played shoenmakers ahead of him

 

[Mitchell54]

Well. That’s not good.

I’m i the only one that doesn’t mind Mirra?

 

[Hawks1994]

Mirra wouldn't have been my first choice either, but to be fair to the bloke he hasn't been that bad this season. He'll give you a strong contest every time at least

 

[Hawks1976]

Geez I hate this mob.

Losing to them is unbearable.
Got a feeling Clarko will have the boys fired up early on, just need to not have any fade outs or the sooks will pounce on any lapses.

Hopefully no umpire intervention today but we all know that’s not possible with the Cats involved

Go you Hawks

Must be due for the rub of the green with the umpires.

Well. That’s not good.

I’m i the only one that doesn’t mind Mirra?

he has limitations but not the worst

Especially with Brand in the side...

 

[westhawk]

Stratts out isn’t as bad as it sounds as I think his form has been poor anyway. Bringing in Mirra though just shows that our depth is not great as he is the turnover king, and always seems to do them at important times.

 

[madhawksfan]

Hopefully Mirra can clean up Dangerflog and/or Abflap. Even it costs him a week.

 

[becalm]

From the mouth of our dear old captain

One of the classics.

 

[eldorado]

Well. That’s not good.

I’m i the only one that doesn’t mind Mirra?

He's depth, and we need him right now...so let's hope he has a good one.

 

[Nugett]

Shame about Stratts.

Least with Mirra, he gives you 100% when he plays, even if he does get over zealous at times. Hoping he plays a blinder today.
