Game Day Round 1 2019: Adelaide vs Hawthorn, AO

[GinniAndTonic]

Round 1 is here!!
Hopefully we can go over to Adelaide and get the 4 points!

If we could go there and get the win without any injuries, it'd be a great start to the season.

Go and get em boys!

 

[Since 2001]

Have a feeling there will be one late change. Either Gunston or Mirra out and Lewis or Brand in

Carn the Hawkers!

It’s a big ask for Worpel and Cousins who are in their 2nd and 3rd seasons respectively to fill the void left by Mitchell, however if they can average over 20 disposals a game this year then they can offset the loss slightly and at the same time we have two midfielders who have a lot of upside and they’ll only get better once the other injured midfielders return.

Danger game.....first for the year

If Gunston is out then we’re no chance.

Hawks by a point in a thriller

I rate Adelaide and expect they will be about redemption this year. Their list is fit and perhaps even more than most sides they have been burning for round 1. It's going to be a massive task.

That being said, their backline is exploitable for mine. It will be interesting if Sicily does play forward and we try and exploit this. '

I am worried their midfield will get on top as the game progresses. Bigger, stronger bodies with more numbers to roll through there.

If we are in the game with 5 minutes to play, I will take it as a win and look forward to a run of winnable games whilst we wait on Wingard, Scully and Howe to get back. We will be a better team in round 6 than round 1. Just gotta get the wins that we should on the board. A loss here is somewhat acceptable.

I wonder if Frawley's history of migrane means we will always take cover for him when we travel interstate? If so then Brand is Frawly insurance and Moore is general cover. Big job for the kid if he needs to come in.

Got to say, I'm not that worried about their first halves - it's running out the game where I think we may struggle.

Better yet, just steer clear of Adelaide.

Hopefully it's Brand in for Mirra.

Somewhere, someone said he participated in training yesterday and appeared to be moving well.

The Strathmore will be pumping from about midday.

Final exam?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We should be as confident as any other club heading into Round 1.

All the preparation for the season is about done, time to put it into action boys.

Light us up, Jaeger and Sic!

Just boarded the flight, pretty pumped for my first AO game. I reckon the odds are bs and we are a massive chance.
