Game Day Round 10 2017: Hawthorn vs Sydney, Friday 26th May 7:50pm @SCG

[grumbleguts]

Don't know about you people but I could use a win against this mob.

Dreams are good things

This is the first game since maybe 2009/10 that I've gone into without seeing a way we can possibly win. #goyouf #provemewrong

We could score more than they do. That tends to do the trick.

I have a good feeling about the first half, it just gets a bit iffy from there.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

We have won 5 of our last 6 against the COLA kids in Sydney, but tonight I'm just hoping to be competitive.

 

[JoeHawk]

Not expecting much at all. Got a feeling Buddy will go nuts. Shitney by 60+....and that's just the first half

 

[FisherHawk]

I'm not looking forward to this at all. I can't think of anywhere on the field with our current players, where we are stronger than them. What's the worst is, I hate $ydney!

This is the family club. Have faith in your cousins. #letsputpressureonfirstgamer #unrealisticexpectations

 

[The Lemon]

Hawks by 36.

We should win comfortably. Too good all over the park.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Time to unleash our secret weapon. Enter James Cousins. Good luck mate!

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Buddy never goes nuts against yoof teams. He goes nuts against cocky mid ranked teams that need to be told they're not contenders.

He never kicked a huge back against Melbourne in the neeld years, for example, but was almost guaranteed 4-6 goals against collingwood

Seriously can you go back to pessimism?

I'd be surprised if we dropped this game

 

[Great 2008]

10 or so fringe/inexperienced players in that squad. Also around 3 stars who are out of form. Going to be tough.

Suddenly Sydney supporters want to have wagers with me.

 

[threesixpio]

Wish we had Irvinh in the team so we could rely on a mozz for a win rather than relying on a reverse mozz

 

[Wundo]

I hate Thursday games, today feels like a Saturday. A Friday night game doesn't feel as exciting if a game has already been played and that's good tonight, because expectations are already pretty low and I can't imagine by half time I'm going to be feeling too excited by the score board.
Here's hoping the debutants can put in a solid showing and Burton can continue to look like a player with 200 games under his belt.
Sydney by 33

Score line?

 

[Qlder_19]

If their midfield is supposedly so good let's turn back time to
'Win contest by contest , quarter by quarter' spoken by Yabby

Let's go lads your the 22 to cross the white line today just do your best and the rest will follow

 

[Agent Smith]

I agree, I can't really see us winning either.

 

[Thaihawk]

This is the first game since maybe 2009/10 that I've gone into without seeing a way we can possibly win. #goyouf #provemewrong

How about if we were to kick a higher score, cwh? That would do, wouldn't it?
Seriously, it is difficult to find where we can even break even with the AFL's sleeping giant, and favourite club, but where there's a will there's a way, so let's give it our best shot, it might just do the trick.

 

[Hawthorn United]

On a positive note, the last 5 matchups, the away team has won everytime.

That includes the 2014 GF when we were the "away" team.

But I think we'll get smashed. Swans by 86.

Can you add more line breaks? Don't think there's enough here.
