Game Day Round 13, 2020: Port Adelaide Power v Hawthorn, 4.35pm @ Adelaide Oval

[Dixie Flatline]

Backs are really against the wall in this one. Let's have some pride in our efforts today and do the skipper proud in his 200th.

Tanking and being crushed in one gif.

Have you been sitting on that all week?

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

I remember a time when Dixie was up and about and posted game day threads at midnight, they were good times.

I just searched “car crash”. It seemed very apt.

Worst Hawthorn 22 of all time?

Danger game. Hawks by 11.

Worst Hawthorn 22 of all time?

Should be a separate thread for that as I disagree.
My worse 22 would have have Johnny Hassle and Nick Ries in it for starters.

Did Paul Sharky ever complete the trifecta?

Worst Hawthorn 22 of all time?

I’d say it is the weakest lineup I can recall in last 15 years.

We will lose obviously but what I want to see are some positive signs from players with a future and some of those guys fighting for their careers - Glass, Hanrahan, Howe, Jiath, Hartley, Cousins - showing something that might justify a list spot.

With the combination of reduced list sizes, a likely rebuild of sorts and reduced lists pushing some decent players out of other clubs, I think our list cull at seasons end will be deep. Let’s see who is worth persisting with

I’m also expecting a good game from Worpel with greater responsibility

Sorry to Kick a Vic whilst you guys are down. Got a big day planned. 12pm head to The Warradale, 2pm train to the city, 2:30 Strathmore Hotel, 3:30 wander across the footbridge, 4:30 watch an honorable loss (please), 7pm who knows?

Worst Hawthorn 22 of all time?

Not even close to worst 22 of all time. Probably the weakest side on paper we’ve put out this year though. But I guess if you take 6 best 22 selections out of any side they're going to look ordinary.

Just hoping the younger players get some valuable experience and that we show pride in the jumper.

 

[Hodginator]

Hanrahan and Patton to kick 6 between them. Hawks by 3 goals!

Barry young?

Barry young?

Riley Milne springs to mind in the desperate 2009 season

Milne >>> Young haha

 

[Brishawk]

Want to see effort and commitment to the contest all day. Work on attacking even when under pressure and behind. That should be the goal for the remainder of the year. Lose our fear of failure.

Yeah, I think there will be a few at the Strathmore pre game.

 

[savagelunchbox]

Got a good feeling about this one.

I reckon we'll lull Port to sleep with our slow, high, down-the-line gameplan and sneak in a 5 goal lead, which will be too much for Port to chase down in the last quarter. That's the method to that slow gameplan's madness, right?

 

[Bugs1977]

This might come off as really negative but I just hope we can keep it within 30pts and there’s no injuries.

Congrats to Stratts on his 200 and good luck to Harts on his Hawks debut.

 

[thejockey]

If our effort is like last week I will be happy. It was there , execution wasn't.
Quite a few playing to be on the list next season so looking forward to seeing what they bring.

Has a feel of us giving them a bit of a fright or it being a real blow out. Hopefully the former.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Barry young?

I had removed his name from my memory.

thanks a lot, bris.

 

[Ambrosia]

Keen to see Hartley play there’s a very good player in there somewhere just needs to back himself more.

 

[TylerDurden]

Much rain in Adelaide today?

They've lost some good players too, so this should be interesting. Obviously Dixon is the key.

For us, I think the 22 looks OK. Blokes who've been at the club get a crack. Let's see what they have.

All the best to Stratts in 200.
