Game Day Round 12, 2020: West Coast Eagles v Hawthorn, Sunday 6.10 PM (AEST)

[Wizzmania]

Yeo out hurts them a bit

 

[Crankyhawk]

Lol, must be a piss take of a practice mate. Playing for a laugh and not worrying about gameplan.

I mean, look at this:

Maybe that should be the game plan. Like the snow game. Go out have a laugh

 

[Mercy Seat]

We were never going to see a massive influx of kids while we can still mathematically make finals. Clarko tends not to give up on seasons , even when they look done and dusted - and technically this one isn't yet. Probably isn't over even if we lose today from a mathematical perspective. 3 changes, one 37, and the other two both over 21, and neither debutants. We'll see some of the under 21 kids later in the season when we really can't make finals. Not many games away now.

And so it should be. Clubs with winning mentalities, even when it may cost a draft spot or two, create winning cultures, from the coach, to the youngest players on the list, to the bootsman.

You compromise on that winning mentality, even by picking a compromised team for a few weeks, you set the club way further back than getting a higher pick will gain. Clarko knows this.

How can you ask a kid to never give up in any situation, if you're out there waving the white flag...

 

[StillAtLarge]

If you could pick one Eagles player to miss in greasy conditions from a Hawthorn perspective Yeo would be in the top 2 or 3

 

[SA HAWK]

40+ please put a $ on paying $91.

Moral of the story never drunk bet.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Go Hawks, hoping everyone fires up today

lol.

I like the way you think. Go Hawks.

Have a few sneaky shekels at Hawthorn with a 4 goal + start

Be Positive! GO HAWKS!

 

[Bedi]

Absolutely. Duggan too is a big out. If we win tonight, all will be forgiven for last week. Carn Hawks!

 

[lethalselbow]

Gonna give this game one quarter.. if we don’t look like we’re having a crack it’s television off

Really? Why?

I have to watch all the games to the end. Maybe I'm just a sucker for punishment, but I love my Hawks! Support them through thick and thn.

 

[Mrzohs]

We either turn up or we don't this year the honrable losses are two and far between.
A 30+ blowout or a sneaky upset 5-15points you just never know.

I Defiantly wanna see the midfield improved -structure
-ballmovement
-kicking

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Hard to be confident. I just want to see some overall improvement. Would be really nice to win the midfield battle for once and give your forwards first use of the ball. Regardless of the result I don’t know how much we’re really gonna learn from this game.

 

[Jaeger]

Carn the Hawks!

 

[madhawksfan]

No Yeo is a bonus!

 

[Mrzohs]

Shiels to kelly in a lockdown role will really help us, with Yeo out there mids are a similar pace Sheed,Redden,Shuey.

We should do okay in the middle if we can curve Niknat influence.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Have a crack lads. All I ask.

 

[Hawthorn23]

Day warming up with the midfield group!

We are losing as it is. Playing the old blokes and getting flogged by Fremantle, etc, isn't setting a "winning culture."

Playing the players that actually have a chance of being around in the future isn't going to ruin any semblance of a winning culture. That's not waving the white flag either, it's not as if they would be going out there to deliberately lose.

We did it back in 05/06, and the rest is history.

05/06 we did it. Not 04.

 

[Jaeger]

Looks like Days in the midfield group

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Lets go CJ!!! (And the rest of the team I guess, but mostly CJ)

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Day lining up on wing

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Looks like Days in the midfield group

Love it

 

[Bedi]

Need Frawley to do another job on Kennedy

 

[Paul Kersey]

That’s bullshit.

 

[Max Powers]

All aboard the CJ freight train!
