Respectful talk welcome. Trolling is for dorks.

 

[JackFlash]

Hawks to bounce back comfortably against the Demons by 30 points

 

[timokane]

Hawks win by 20 points after a tight first half.
Good showing Dees but hawks but to good at the end win by say 3 goals

 

[ray_purchase]

Game of the round by far. Could be a real high scoring shoot out.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Demons should start strong favourites given the hawks outs

 

[Xtreme]

Melbourne by 45

Hawthorn now on a mission to drop down the ladder to satisfy Essendons hostage demands!

 

[schmuttt]

Think we'll give it a crack and helps with the Hawks potential outs (Huge if Gunston misses) but I just think they'll be too smart for us, especially the half forwards in Watson and Ginnivan. Melbourne probably need to drop Heath for Kentfield and let Gawn have a 90% TOG game with his usual towelling of the Hawks rucks along with Kozzy dominating again to be a chance.

 

[voorhees]

this will will be a great one.
expect a super close contest

 

[Cam Payne]

Kosy would have got a week if they weren't playing the Hawks, is a what a Hawks supporting mate told me yesterday. Conspiracy pick Dees by 12.

 

[timokane]

2026 bit of a make or break year for the hawks like the swans in a way

 

[Darksidepoints]

If we play like we did against the Eagles we will get demolished.

 

[HairyO]

If we play like we have every other game and spend at least 1, if not 2 quarters playing tertibly we will get rolled.

Also, if Mitchell continues to screw up team selection we will struggle.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Hawks should win but feel it will be close until a late couple of goals to Watson and Lewis seals the deal.

 

[demondavey]

Demons should start strong favourites given the hawks outs

 

[demondavey]

If we play like we did against the Eagles we will get demolished.

Yep. We were absolutely putrid against WC. Play like that and we’ll be burnt to charcoal.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Danger game for the Hawks.

Danger game for the Dees.

Danger game for the hearts of supporters. This will close. Hawks by 3pts in another thriller.

The merger match special.

Yep.

Hawks half forwards will be a handful. We need Gawn to play a blinder and need the big names to bring big games.

The merger match special.

First ever game I went to... great game and I think I still have the 'No Merger' paper they were handing out.
