Hawthorn vs Geelong MCG- Saturday July 20th 2019 - Edited Page 18 current discussion

[Bardo State]

Should be another great game. Unfortunately I think the Hawks will drop this one.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I think you are ok with any result as North can chase down either team by winning your last three.

If Cats win their last 3, and we win our last 3, Cats will make it ahead of us on %. And then both of us need someone already in the 8 to drop out.

 

[Chubberson]

Richmond play a more physical game than the Dons. Cats will be sore. I think this is a 50/50 game.

Every Hawthorn Geelong game is a 50/50 no matter where they sit on the ladder. The Essendon/Hawthorn rivalry isn't so deep seated in the players anymore but the Hawthorn/Geelong rivalry is still fire in the belly for a lot of these current players.

They both genuinely hate each other on the field IMO.

It may be a GF "type" match based simply on the team's respective histories, but neither of these teams will probably win even 1 final this year so it's not really such a big game

Free speech? I just call it flagging your own stupidity.

And he's just flagging your own emotional hyper-sensitivity.

Anyway, i hope the hawks win. They play a more honest brand of footy for mine.

 

[SA HAWK]

The loser should still play finals but a loss will likely end their top 4 chances.

1) can’t believe this isn’t Friday night or at least FTA. Since when did hawthorn v Geelong games disappoint?

The AFL has scheduled quite a few Sat arvo blockbusters at the G at the backend of the season due to what I assume is the improving weather:

Round 18: Pies v Roos [50/50]
Round 19: Tigers v Pies
Round 20: Hawks v Dons
Round 21: Hawks v Cats
Round 22: Pies v Port
Round 23: Tigers v Bulldogs [50/50]

No doubt Fox has hand picked these, as their production for these games have been as grandiose as the Ch 7 production. Yesterday they had:
*Sarah Jones, David King and a 3rd person I can't remember "hosting" the before game, and in between quarters, broadcasting from a desk with a view of the ground
*Eddie Mcguire, a 2nd Commentator, Cam Mooney, Gary Lyon and brad Johnson (I think) for during the play

edit: 3rd host was Dunstall and 2nd Commentator was Dwayne Russel. They had 8 freaking people at the ground. So over the top

 

[Goggin Our Best]

For our sake... GO HAWKS!!

Should be a belter.

Weve had a saver on the Crows in 2 weeks time - allways had a soft spot for Adelaide - lol

Free speech? I just call it flagging your own stupidity.

Indeed, fools flock to me.

 

[juss]

This will be a ripper.
Cats for me, and I have to say in a close one because that's what these matches usually produce.

Oh really? Thanks for the history lesson, I never knew. Anyway, seeing as though you really badly want a tip, I'll say the cats by 10 points.

I expect we'll lose that. AO is a graveyard for us, never won there.

 

[Hawkas1988]

Just going to add this



Edit: Holy s**t, Stratton's spoil running back with the flight with 10 seconds to go. That's why we love this man.

Absolute ridiculous courage and effort to het there that the commentators didn't pick up on.

Sucks for people with only fta I guess, but like when Saturday is a big clash at the G like hawks essendon was and now this’

Can’t wait

Cats were epic against the Tigers on Friday night.
If they play to that level against us this week, Cats will win by 5 goals.
Best chance Hawks have is if the Cats allow us to control the ball.
If the Cats take on the game.....we’re in trouble.

We like to be in control and don’t handle the kamakazi style of play.
Saw this earlier in the year against the Cats when they came back from a few goals down and nearly pinched it, and same yesterday against the Dons. If you play on and take the game on, the Hawks defence gets exposed.

Hoping for a close one, but expecting the Cats to be to good

Regardless of the result, and if we play finals this year or not, I am proud of what our club has done this year.

 

[Pessimistic]

Smiths running goal/miss

Clear push in the back to which a free would have been awarded to any other team

 

[Tulip]

Hawthorn started today in third and will finish it in fifth, but they're also a game off 10th. Can't rely on ladder position this year.

 

[Gydafud]

Business as usual between these 2 clubs. I expect another epic.

 

[Pessimistic]

The trinity will be cursing our ‘luck’ last time even though they’ve had plenty of it over the years

 

[ThatsjustDappa]

Cats will be coughing up fur balls and leaving traces of vomit on the kitchen floor after being unable to digest the reality of losing to a mediocre RFC THREE TIMES IN A ROW!

Geez, had to take 5 posts before a Richmond supporter referred to Richmond in a non-Richmond thread.

Standards are slipping guys......

cats will most likely miss if lose, hawks may make it

 

[kaiserchief13]

How come Geelong are favourites?

 

[Off The Couch]

How come Geelong are favourites?

The better team
The holy trinity
And of course the form forward of the moment in Hawkins

 

[Bazza97]

Reckon it's pretty much a 50/50 game. Hard to tip but I think the Cats will win this time. Looking forward to another keenly anticipated game of Saturday afternoon footy.
