[a_fighting_fury]

Tigers by 40 points!!

 

[JackFlash]

Hawks by 40 points ...

 

[Zevon]

Hawks to just cruise again and get home by 7 or 8 goals

 

[tiger_tough]

Feels like hawks are gettable at the moment.

 

[voorhees]

tige's recal Balta
still going to be a long day at the office

 

[SA HAWK]

Feels like hawks are gettable at the moment.

I feel the same we have a few injuries now and form is quite patchy lately.

We wouldn't want to take Richmond lightly.

In saying that if Richmond don't bring pressure they could be spanked.

 

[cryptor]

Feels like hawks are gettable at the moment.

Definitely are. Wounded across all major lines with important and some of our best performers this year out injured.

Lewis and Dear up forward (though neither have played this season). Day and Nash from the middle. Amon and Scrimshaw down back.

Meek is in good form but Nank will be tougher than any ruck he’s faced since TDK in round 2.

I haven’t watched a lot of Richmond this year but from what I have seen when they’re going they play with a lot of dare and energy. I feel this could trouble the Hawks who’ve been slow starters in front of goal in the last month.

Hawks defensive pressure has been high quality though and may be enough to compensate for another lackluster start.

 

[Dinsdale]

I'll be there, 100th anniversary game, can't miss it.

Hawks by 40ish

 

[HairyO]

Feels like hawks are gettable at the moment.

Last 2 weeks our goal kicking has been atrocious.

More of that and we could easily lose.

Not to mention an ever growing injury list.

 

[Xtreme]

Sunday 3:20pm is fast becoming the time slot for the best matches of the round.

Richmond by 17 (when Richmond beats Hawthorn, Hawthorn usually win the premiership that year!)

 

[Leeda]

Tiges aren't clever

 

[fucsiaapple]

Could get ugly if the Hawks get a good start

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Feels like hawks are gettable at the moment.

They are, just not by the tigers.

 

[JustaBattler]

Danger game for Hawthorn.

 

[Cam Payne]

Can the Tigers overcome the Hawk Chops? Probably not. Chops by 20.

 

[juss]

I feel the same we have a few injuries now and form is quite patchy lately.

We wouldn't want to take Richmond lightly.

In saying that if Richmond don't bring pressure they could be spanked.

We've shown we have the game to compete for a period and stay in games, but ultimately fall away in a lot of them. Still haven't played 4 quarters of consistent good footy even in our 2 wins.

I expect this week will be the same, we'll look okay and compete well for portions of the game, and the Hawks will punish us eventually as our game is inconsistent, probably Hawks by 30-45.

 

[Sirlemsip]

I expect this week will be the same, we'll look okay and compete well for portions of the game, and the Hawks will punish us eventually as our game is inconsistent, probably Hawks by 30-45.

This seems like a reasonable assessment.
Tigers might have a good enough patch to win one quarter, but Hawks should win 3 quarters easily.

Similar to our game last week against WC - I suspect that the margin will have more to do with our accuracy on goal than anything else.

We should be able to put together at least 30 shots on goal. But do we end up with '25 5 155' or '15 15 105'.

 

[SSSSSS]

Think the Tigers are a big chance. Nank Taranto and Hopper is a decent midfield trio.

We are really testing our depth with these injuries/suspensions in the midfield.

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

Think the Tigers are a big chance. Nank Taranto and Hopper is a decent midfield trio.

We are really testing our depth with these injuries/suspensions in the midfield.

You'd think it's a good midfield trio on paper, but we've been terrible in clearances for years for whatever reason. A bit better this year, but still one of the worst in the comp

 

[timokane]

Who thinks Tigers can upset the hawks i do.

Fancy tigers in this one.

hawks are going through a flat patch.

good time to play them

 

[SA HAWK]

Who thinks Tigers can upset the hawks i do.

Fancy tigers in this one.

hawks are going through a flat patch.

good time to play them

We need to play better than last week.

Injuries have me nervous.

 

[NetworkNerd]

We need to play better than last week.

Injuries have me nervous.

Hawks can be anywhere from 2nd to 8th after today's games.

Hopefully just grind out a 20-30 point win

 

[voorhees]

tige's to give a good showing off themselves, yet Hawks will be to strong in the end - Hawthorn 21p

 

[rdhopkins2]

Good test for the Hawks who on paper should win. Still, it will challenge their depth.

Hawks by 10 goals if they play well. Tigers still capable of claiming unexpected scalps this season.
