Nightmare: Hawkins gets Covid and can't play the GF

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Bloody hell, I'm going to pretend I didn't read that.

Nightmare: Hawkins gets Covid and can't play the GF

Doubt they play the GF if a player gets COVID lol

The whole team and staff would've come into to contact with him.

Good point. Nightmare averted.

 

[cats_09]

Apparently just a cough & should be fine

Reckon he just wanted to get out of training and have a chat with Jeremy about their plans for next season...

 

[GeelongFTW]

Good point. Nightmare averted.

We should claim we came into contact with the Richmond staff and players just in case lol.

God could you imagine a scenario where Richmond got a default premiership?!

There's a cross over between some Geelong players & staff and some Richmond players & staff as some are sharing facilities - so that's not out of the question for there to have been contact

 

[Drunkcat]

Watching the last 2 times we played Richmond we can not bomb it long or they will beat us again. they always have about 3 or 4 players every time and get great confidence form it

If they delayed bloody Essendon vs Melbourne they'll delay the Grand Final too surely.

said he is staying two doors down from Hawk in the same resort.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Yup. I’m feeling Cats supporters too confident. We thought we’d win in ‘08. That’s it for me. Going to sit in the corner all week a nervous wreck.

Yeah. Lid is firmly on and shall stay on until we are at a comfortable enough lead late in the last.

 

[Nickoo]

Living in Melbourne I barely new a Richmond fan untill 2017. 119 them.

This match is classic David v Goliath, good v evil battle., AFL v Geelong FC, biggest club in the land v a regional club.

I suspect however that tigers will win and win comfortably. Which will be sad for humanity that is desperate for good news. That good guys can win in the end and karma is present.

Im excited about what might happen Saturday night, but Im also scared of what will happen too.
My household have just decided to enjoy the week like some kind of bizarre self isolated festival that only exists within these four walls. A visit to Lombards was had, streamers balloons and posters bought. If they come down in a rage at half time on Saturday, well, we have a nice firepit we can drink our sorrows around.
Anything could happen and Im not banking on a single damn thing.

 

[Joey JoJo Shabad]

God could you imagine a scenario where Richmond got a default premiership?!

What do you mean default, Their 2017/19 premierships are as good as default premierships considering their opponents didn't turn up on game day.

 

[Grimoz]

Anyone else think the Hawkins story could be a mind game tactic and they are just giving him a rest? How exactly would one contract Covid when they are in a bubble.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

you seem to be unable to grasp big numbers...last time I had looked at no point did the tigers win by 119 points

But keep puffing your chest out you ******* imbecile

119 is incidentally the combined IQ of 100k Richmond members.

 

[cats_09]

The power forward has a sore throat, an ailment believed to have been passed on by one of his children...


...He was replaced by fellow veteran Harry Taylor

and rescheduled to speak to the media on Thursday.

That is now in some doubt but the Cats say there is no chance Hawkins will miss the decider, with the 32-year-old’s training absence on Tuesday viewed purely as a precaution.

Geelong forward Tom Hawkins isolated from teammates ahead of AFL grand final

The key forward has sparked huge drama for the Cats just days out from the premiership match.

Well, I’d say Richmond supporters are more us in 2008 than we are, very, very confident. Hawks pinched that one from us in 2008, let’s hope we do it to the tigers this weekend.

 

[Joey JoJo Shabad]

AFL Hall of Famer and triple Carji Greeves Medallist Ian Nankervis will present the cup if Geelong reign supreme.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Can someone give me solid reasons why the August (?) game v Richmond where they dismantled us with their pressure wont happen again?

 

[bungalow_bill]

Hawkins should be fine probably just needs a strepsil

 

[Commando]

Doubt they play the GF if a player gets COVID lol

The whole team and staff would've come into to contact with him.

if it was Victoria they’d all be deemed close contacts and in 14 day quarantine!

 

[Strange Cat]

From memory we had that game very quickly after the previous match, and we have a different list this time around with the inclusion of a few key players that were not playing in that game

That’s what I can recall anyway

 

[frggr]

Changes in personel (No Jarvis, Fogarty, Atkins, Ratugolea etc, yes to Rohan, Ablett etc), even breaks this time etc (Geelong 4 days, Richmond 9 after a spate of concentrated games)

Oh yeah and Stanley
