I assume an overreaction to the Gulden/Heeney injuries.

And not having played away from Sydney yet maybe.

Even before the injuries they were still $1.70 favs.

They being swans?

Nothing weird about it. Line is 19.5 points. Swans 67% win record with Gulden 44% without. Without Heeney it’s just over 30%. They went 5-8 last season without Gulden when I think Warner was out as well.

Playing a top 4 team from last season in Melbourne. Odds make sense

Hawks have looked crap to start the season and we have other good players.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Don't rate Hawks that much. A good 5-8 team nothing more but I am worried it could take a game or two for Sydney to bed down their system without Gulden and the Hawks could win by merely catching them at a good time.

Yeah not sure their mid field is good enough to do too much damage.

Of all the clubs chasing Butters they probably need him the most.

With no Gulden or Heeney, Sydney's midfield isn't much chop either.

I think Gulden/Heeney are big enough outs to tip the game in Hawthorn's favour, just.

Yep, were always outsiders. The drift further out obviously happened after the two big injuries.

They looked fine last week but that’s half the problem. Do you read more into the Giants game or the training procession of last week? Like most teams, they’re a different team at home.

In any case, should be a very good game hopefully.

 

[RPCB]

Go Sydney because they are playing Hawthorn and Go Hawthorn because we have Sydney’s draft pick.

So conflicted lol.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

they are playing Hawthorn

trust the first instinct.
**** Hawthorn, always.

They were being held by the bombers early until they wilted, I dunno if I'd say that was fine. Giants look very average and belted them. Their midfield mix is way off par and their key forwards have plateaued.

I barrack for evwn Geelong when they play Hawthorn, that's how much I hate them.

campaignerley kicks the first and carries on like he won the GF.

Have you never seen him kick a goal before?

 

[TY24]

Sydney started like a house on fire but have since forgotten how to hit a target

They’re lucky Hawthorn can’t kick a goal to save their lives

He's no Pat Voss.

Umpiring not helping, campaigners just hanging off curnow.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

In GFs not too many times.
Other than that a few too many times.

 

[SM]

Hope you got on jatz

 

[TY24]

How do we still get 6-6-6 warnings after all these years

Should just be a straight up free kick

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Good to see the umps not reward Watson's staging.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Wonder when the Hawks are going to realise Ginnivan is a really ordinary footballer.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ginni.

Funny what happens now that he's not wearing navy blue anymore.

The noise of affirmation from the paperbagger army made him quite protected.
