Respectful talk welcome. Trolling is for dorks.

 

[Randomizor]

Hawks are a great team. Strong on almost every line. Genuine playmakers.

Freo by 32

 

[SA HAWK]

Freo in perth would be one of the toughest games this season.

Will be tipping Freo but don’t think Hawthorn are without a chance.

About the same for me. Think it will be close and only tipping Freo because it is in Perth.

 

[Zevon]

Big believer in both these sides, but reckon Hawthorn will spring a minor upset and win by about 25 points

 

[revo333]

Freo fans doing handstands after barely beating the Dogs has me thinking the Hawks by about 8 goals.

A little sour grape dig there. Comment would hit a whole lot harder if you weren't a Dogs supporter. Hawks lost to GWS, barely beat Port on their home deck and drew with Collingwood who Freo beat. It means nothing.

Will be a tough game, not sure what to expect. A big loss for either side doesn't seem likely.

 

[RonnieRaven]

Hawks + 10 frees
Freo by 3 pts

You had at least 19 on the field
We normally get frazzled by interpretation discrepancy and lose a bit of focus, see rd 1
it was great for our young team btm 6 age and experience running out in 2026.
To learn how to win when things are not going your way.

 

[voorhees]

two big boys going at it.
a clash to look forward to

 

[Towmotar]

I think hawks get 12 colours of shit kicked out of them this Thursday unfortunately.

 

[Spirit Level]

This will be the 3rd short break in a row for Fremantle coming up against the Hawks off am 8 day break, desperate to atone for last week.

I think they'll get us here

 

[NetworkNerd]

Hawks + 10 frees
Freo by 3 pts

Historically Freo have a 107:100 free kick ratio at home and Hawks have a 88:100 free kick ratio away. So Freo should win the free kick count easily

 

[Jim Prideaux]

This will be the 3rd short break in a row for Fremantle coming up against the Hawks off am 8 day break, desperate to atone for last week.

I think they'll get us here

7 day, with a 5 day the week before

 

[Spirit Level]

7 day, with a 5 day the week before

Ahh yes.

Still...

 

[Cam Payne]

Freo by 10 cos it's at home.

 

[JPetro83]

Hawks by 3 goals.

 

[RonnieRaven]

Historically Freo have a 107:100 free kick ratio at home and Hawks have a 88:100 free kick ratio away. So Freo should win the free kick count easily

Hopefully

Freo have been eased into this thursday night. 3 short breaks? You mean 3 x 6 day breaks to bring you from playing on a sunday to a thursday and a 9 day break before that. You couldn't have it any easier than that.

In the last 4 weeks the hawks have had 2 x 5 day breaks, 1 x 6 day break + 1 x 7 day break and now a 7 day break.

 

[fnerd]

Freo might have won few games on the trot but actually haven’t beaten anyone of note.
And not only that they then tended to do handstands after beating such
mediocre opponents, indicating terrible self belief.

Hawks on the other hand have dispatched all and sundry before them with ease including many heavy weights

Hawks just too good here

*also , not sure it’s been mentioned (pretty sure the media/commentators never said anything) but I thought the bulldogs were so brave in defeat last week ….so very,very brave

 

[timokane]

Game of the round here.

Tipping Freo wins by 18 points.

Hawks played its final v pies.

It took a bit out the hawks.

Freo by 2-3 goals.

 

[Millsie69]

Hawks have had a terrible recent record over there against Freo, having only beaten them in their first match there in 2018, but lost all 5 since then.

Should be a belter of a game, but Freo to win at home by about 2 goals.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Worried and nervous about this one, but not as much as I was before the Carlton game funnily. We should be good enough at home and our recent record against the Hawks is pretty good, however they are a damn good side and it was a tight contest last time we played them.

The back to back six day breaks and travel are brutal when our opponents have had that extra day.

Don’t know why it’s not on Friday night - especially when we have a whole 10 days before Sunday the next week
