Game Day Hawks head to the Handbagger Hub - Unofficial Match Simulation - Monday 17th February 2025 @ 2pm AEDT

[BIGHAWK23]

Why would we also play a practice game at this cake tin

 

[RoughysMullet]

Geez early day but have never been impressed with Ward. What does he even do? Runs in quicksand

Really needs to play inside mid- see the final vs dogs last year. He won’t make it as a winger…

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Gunners been caught behind like 6 times already

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

We need another KPF, I haven’t noticed Scaife or Ramsden on yet.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Jesus lads, its Q1 of game 1 of a match sim lol

Legit absolutely wild. Probably the same people saying how poor Watson looked in the praccy last year

 

[Lickmesocks]

Wowser. This is men attacking boys stuff. They are much harder at it and we are completely clueless on how to play this oval.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Worry about the long ball forward for us - only really got Chol as a target- scats are intercepting everything

 

[Hawk Vision]

I know it’s a practice match but can we just beat these campaigners

 

[theiaofseed]

Ten minutes into a match sim and people already making snap decisions, yep AFL is back.

 

[VandoHawk]

Night and day differences in intensity here. They're cannonballing in, doing spins and hitting kicks. We're just kinda jogging along and blindly bombing it. Lucky they've kicked seven behinds.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Nice of Waterworth to keep us informed about which plays are getting the biggest cheers from the Geelong crowd

Who cares about result.

Injury free and some quality play is what I'm after.

 

[Lickmesocks]

They lock you in the forward 50 and make you kick to a contest down the wing and have monsters ready to take the mark and bring it back in all over again.

Cats should be 9.3 with the sitters they have missed.

Were not even close to round 0 intensity people need to relax a bit. Get through the game with no injuries and have the defensive setup get used to how we are going to play. It's not going to be rock solid as of yet we need continuity

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Maginness has been lively, liked his game so far!

Battle is finding his feet in our defence.

Day goals in the siren, Chol looks injured trainers at his side.

 

[VandoHawk]

Mackenzie has been really good with ball in hand.
Finn lively as a forward.
Battle looks good.
I've liked Chol's contests.

Wouldn't read too much into it. They've got three players chasing ours for a rundown while we seem switched off.

 

[Bardo State]

Haven't seen Chol blocked out or fail to affect a contest so far. A bit of a weakness for him last year, so it's great to see him attacking it.

 

[Hawk88]

Day goals in the siren, Chol looks injured trainers at his side.

Corkie only by the looks.

Time to wrap him in cotton wool and bring on Ramma

 

[Millsie69]

Day marks and goals right on the quarter time siren.

Cats 3.8.26
Hawks 2.2.14

Can consider ourselves lucky not to be further behind.

Mackenzie is all class.

 

[Sixpence]

Looks like a typical game at this shit hole ground. Players just not used to having so much less time. Day went for a run with 4 Cats players in a 2 meter vicinity.

 

[thehardway]

Just blowing away a few cobwebs

 

[KermitJagger]

Jesus lads, its Q1 of game 1 of a match sim lol

I think it's pretty fair for Seamus, he is playing for his career a bit this pre-season. He's the type of player that should be looking to really kill it.

 

[Roddy]

I wonder if Finn could be one of our guys to have their breakthrough year this year.

That would make me extremely happy.

Does he look taller than 188, or am I imagining it?

 

[Millsie69]

Nice of Waterworth to keep us informed about which plays are getting the biggest cheers from the Geelong crowd

Biggest have been from him in the comm box.

 

[Lickmesocks]

I really wondered the same thing when it came out.

Perhaps for our players to cop some physical hits with the ground shape the way it is was the only thing I could come up with.
