Game Day Round 13, 2022: Fremantle v Hawthorn, 11 June 2022, 4.10pm AEST Optus Stadium

Who am I kidding - I always want a win

 

[Lickmesocks]

What a massive challenge this is for our coaching group and players to see if we can compete and hold our nerve.

 

[cryptor]

I will be interested to see if Sam gets us playing a more defensive style today, or if we aim to just live by the sword.

Don't see much point playing more defensive. Just limits our own scoring and eventually they will break through and bury us and make the scoreline real ugly. I think our best hope is to shock them by playing fast, direct, attacking footy and hope that we're on target in front of goals. Get an early lead, shut the crowd up and hope they don't manage to wrestle back control.

Hoping to see a competitive effort from the midfield for 4 quarters. Newk was sensational in the second half and we need some other guys to take hold of the game and damage the opposition.

Hartigan and Sic as key backs with Frost starting forward for mine. CJ, Dimma, Scrim, Day and Bramble providing plenty of attack from D50.

This will be a good test.

Danger game

Hawks by 38

I've got 4 beers in the fridge ATM, I'm hoping that's enough to get me through this one.

 

[Billyc]

Bit apprehensive about this one. Freo are good, we're missing our two best forwards, our last road trip was dire and we have the bye next week. A few red flags, so i'm just hoping we put in a solid effort.

Yikes what are you doing after HT?

You know that bottle of scotch you have been saving for a special occasion? Better make sure you are stocked for ice…

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Love to see jai try drag his opponent forward and kick a couple

From what I have seen Jai is actually pretty good above his head.

Wouldn't mind seeing how he goes one of those newfangled hybrid midfield / forwards (ala Dusty and Petracca)

Problem is of course our midfield is so weak we need him there 100% of the time but down the track I think he could excel in that hybrid role.

The umpiring these days make you misbehave, that’s my excuse anyway

 

[hawkheart]

Mundy Mundy, can’t trust that guy.

This thread would have been ten pages by now if Sam Mitchell wasn't coach!!!

Suspect we will either sneak in a close win OR get absolutely belted..!
I couldn't resist the odds and have a few shekels on Hawks by 40+, but realistically for us to win by 7 goals we will need to probably kick 20 - wishful thinking but Freo are well overdue a stinker, so who knows....

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Umm, I think you spelt 10 mins into the game

Morris gets his shot.

I just cracked open my bottle … here’s hoping for the best.

Apropos of nothing, I dreamed we lost to North last night..then immediately woke up.

Took me about three to four seconds to realise it wasn't a memory, it was just a dream, because we were really playing Freo today. I guess I should have guessed something wasn't quite right because their ruckman was a seven foot tall rabbit called Harvey.*

Anyways...it's an omen, I tells ya!

Hawks by 16!







*ok, the Harvey bit is not strictly true

If you said the rabbit's name was Stephen it'd be more believable!

 

[Fleabane]

Morris gets his shot.

Wish it was not as medical sub but glad he's there.

 

[Fleabane]

Excited about the game - hope springs eternal! I'm hoping that our wet weather experience last week helps us.

 

[IdiotBox]

Welcome to Nat Fyfe Day everyone! Hope everyone is wearing their novelty man-bun.

 

[RX Hawk]

Time for Callow to show what he is capable of given the opportunity. I think Frost/CJ will play forward at different times with Hartigan and Sicily at back.

Need someone to stand up forward to have a shot
