Game Day Crows Vs Hawks

[pjcrows]

There's a game on?

This feels like the build-up to a 1995 away game. Ugh.

 

[Jack is Back]

Players in our best 12 missing - Sloane, Laird, Smith, Brouch, Lynch and McGovern
Hawks have Rioli and Birchall out of their best 22.

Crows playing with injury/underdone - Tex, Mrouch, Sauce, Gibson, Greenwood, Jenkins

Crows players out of form/going through the motions - Hartigan, Kelly, Mackay, Atkins.

Kids - Poholke, Doedee, Gallucci, Wilson (combined games = 24)

The remaining eight players, which includes Otten and Cheney will have to play their best game ever.

I’m telling you we’re a chance (one in a million......).

 

[Encanto]

Probably one way (theirs), not the other.
The Hawks have too much pride to get beaten going away by an injury-hobbled mob propped up by kids. Even Betts has admitted team morale is down:

If it's wet/showery that will bring them back to us, but on Burgoyne's 350th?? Hawks by multies.

Hawks beat Melbourne by eleven goals in the wet at the MCG in round four but I'm keeping some faith.

 

[Apsaalooke]

My 4 year old daughter says Crows by 10 points, but I don't necessarily have much faith in that opinion - she says the same thing every weekend.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

I don't think this is one of those times, unfortunately.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I have a bad feeling we're going to get belted. We are producing bottom 4 footy at the moment and Hawthorn are one of those teams that could have easily been sitting in the top half of the 8 if the season wasn't so tight.

 

[CrowBloke]

Hawks beat Melbourne by eleven goals in the wet at the MCG in round four

That's grim , for us.
I'm tipping the Hawks by a lot, because:
--- I'm trying to fake-out the Footy Gods (I tipped Sydney and Richmond to beat us and we won), and because
--- I think the Hawks will win, by a lot .

 

[VSTone]

Another shit show from the Crows and it's curtains for the season, reckon the in's won't let us down, if the "never get dropped set" can get rolling with some fast aggressive footy for a change that would be nice. do something entertaining at least? maybe have a little fun along the way too!

 

[Deaneus!]

I just want to see them have a red hot crack and lose their inhibitions.

Listen to some Slayer or Pantera before the game and grow a pair.

Looking at those conditions and combined with our general aversion for a tag, watch for Mitchell to rack up 40+ today regardless of outcome.

you know it brother, hope you're well

Australia v Ireland in rugby
Australia v England in cricket
Australia v France in soccer
Adelaide v Hawthorn in footy

Could we lose all four?

 

[Danger in Texas]

We’ll lose this, I just want to see good signs from Gallucci, Poholke and Wilson, amongst others

 

[Tadpole]

Could we lose all four?

Entirely possible, yes.

 

[Redleg Crow]

What I want to see:

Socceroos with a 2-1 win.
errr oh yeah, the footy.

Effort? Win the clearances? Decide that maybe letting Mitchell get 50 touches is not the way to win?

Damn I'm flat for this game. Still think we can win for no good reason other than dumb, misguided belief that we still have a good side in there somewhere.

Would like to see Matt 5 play like Matt 44
Tex to kick 4
Jenkins to rag doll someone
Atkins to respond with 20+
Lynch to play like someone who is worth a big money contract
Doedee to play in a way that has people saying "What there were actually people who wanted Burton instead of this star??" [side note: the first Doedee-Burton H2H)
Gallucci and Poholke and Milera to have us thinking, "you know, the future might be pretty good" - Milera to start getting some big meters gained would be nice.
Above all not have me watching more of the Socceroos game.

Hawks by 78

I booked flights and tickets for this game at the start of the season thinking it would be a big blockbuster game. I’m not so sure now.

Anyways, I’m here now about to head to the Carlton Freo game before heading to the MCG.

I’ve never seen two rubbish games of football live on the same day before. Can’t wait.

 

[thebirdman 24]

haven't even been so flat for a game. won't be watching with the world cup on.

we are a plucky team as someone posted about a while ago. this could be one of those games we set ourselves for, but with kelly, otten, cheney and mackay in the team it is hard to see us winning. i think it will be an honourable defeat.

hawks by 23

I'll also be watching the Soccer.

Looks like it’s gonna be cold and wet.. with some swirly wind..

View attachment 512850

So typical crap Victorian weather then..

It’s actually clear skies, sunny, dry as, moderate breeze, cold AF, but come game time it’ll be rain hail and sleet I bet.

I'll also be watching the Soccer.

oh that has catastrophic ugliness written all over it.

 

[footy4ever]

Any chance of the crows doing any high pressure gang tackling? Can't remember the last time they have done that. Always chasing players running away with the ball recently.

Last time it was obvious was games 1 - 6 last season. It was fantastic.

 

[footy4ever]

Crows by plenty

I wish. Pretty sure it’s not going to happen.

 

[footy4ever]

I am approaching the zero on this one. There's more interest than Fremantle or Gold Coast, but just no.

Unless i'm incorrect, tonight has

Australia v Ireland in rugby
Australia v England in cricket
Australia v France in soccer
Adelaide v Hawthorn in footy

Now, i'd put rugby on in the background, but care factor is minimal because it's not the All-Blacks;
I've got practically zero interest in the cricket these days, thanks James Sutherland you twat;
Huzzah, we're playing Hawthorn (*checks team list*), nope;
Wait? I've got friends who are French, and I'm going to the pub with them and the GF to watch the World Cup?

**** yeah.

I hope you’re prepared for le smashing.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Geez. Looking at the fixture for the rest of the year there is no way we make finals. Not that we need to tank because we’re currently uncompetitive but we might as well get as good a draft pick as possible.
