Gameday: Freo v Hawthorn

[hoss]

Toss will win this game, especially if first quarter is relatively dry. Six goal breeze going to the Subi end. Once it gets wet, it will be a mess.

See I love comments like these. His hands were very clean below his knees in the games he played this year, and others commented on it too. You just had to watch the games to see it. Yet because it is Hinkley, it can't possible be true.

Anyway, this is the gameday thread. I would have picked Hinkley, but Pearce is fine with me. Here's hoping for a good game from him.

I was their at the games Chris, which is more than what you can say as you live outside of the state, so thats a bewildering comment. He was clean on occasion, on others he wasnt. He played solid games for a depth player. Clancee is also clean on occassion, while being a bigger body and better kick. Lets drop it now. COME ON BOYS

Pissing down again.

So my comment was that his ball handling was clean, but because I wasn't at the game then I can't be right? Never mind that every time he touched the ball it was shown on television, so it's not like I missed any examples. Oh well, I (somewhat) respectfully disagree with your opinion. I'll be sure to let someone who was at the game live do my votes tonight though.

But yeah, enough about Hinkley for tonight. He isn't playing, I'm sad but still looking forward to the game.

Is the rain good for us? Harder for Buddy to mark. 5.40 game for us is like 7.40 for them - must help us

I'm sure you got wet the last time we played the Hawks...









From Mora's long run

Buddy's not a big mark taker, not sure it impacts him.

I expect Fyfe to have a massive game. Hope Hill's skills come to the fore in the wet as well.

Those of us of the male persuasion get hard Bradey.

You would've seen a few of those over your shoulder.

Griff out! Shiiiiiiit, gonna be a massive effort from Clarke, with slices of Johnson rucking!

If the match commitee knew Griff was going to struggle to make it, seems crazy that they wouldn't have Kep as an emergency. With Griff out we could play Zac as the main ruck and Kep wherever Zac would have been playing (forward, wing, third man up).

Don't think we gave Hawks ruck enough credit. Good luck to Zac. Will be a great test for the young bloke.

Was replying to your comment 'you just had to watch the game to see it' and you know that.

Well that is disappointing. I'd have gone with Hinkley. Yes, I know Pearce has a 'big body' and a 'low centre of gravity' and all that. But I'd take clean hands and pace over that stuff.

But still, hopefully Pearce can come on and have an impact as the substitute. Big games for Clarke and Anthony too.

Pearce is also a great tackler/makes a lot of tackles. Will be useful today in the wet. Having a booming kick will also help in crappy conditions like this as territory becomes a more important factor.

Looks like it has been a bit wet in Perth! Will be tough for both sides.

Hawks, I reckon.

 

[The Night Shift]

Off to a bad start.
Hawks 4.1.25
Freo' 0.2.2

Finals slipping away...

 

[vapours]

Getting killed in our backline, really stretched.

Glad I didn't give my Melbourne supporting mate too much crap earlier on...

 

[Higs]

[Clay Davis]

37-2. Whitecross about to lineup.

Disastrous.
