Game Day Round 13: Essendon v Hawthorn, 7:50pm AEST @ Marvel

[Gralin]

​

Footy is back with a clash against one of our biggest rivals over the years.

Both teams are fresh off the bye and have players returning early from injury.

Have at it

 

[Milkshaker]

Off to the local with a mix of Hawks and * fans. Could get ugly, plenty of booing and abuse expected.

Go Hawks.

 

[Rich]

Smash these campaigners

 

[grumbleguts]

So if we win this our season will be back on track until we lose the next one? Is this how we are playing this out? I'm still confused.

 

[TylerDurden]

Let's do this.

Sums the season up.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Absolutely no excuses. Not today, not ever agains these campaigners. * them.

 

[Satchel]

I am strangely calm & confident for some reason

Perhaps it is that I just don't see the Injectors as being a contender

Me too. Strangle their rebound, which Clarko is king at, and we roll them. It's that simple.

 

[rei154]

I'm expecting a close game that'll blow out towards the end. Would love the see Glass put in a big performance, same with Moore and Brand if he plays!

 

[Xtreme]

Must win

Its not just to keep the season afloat. But nobody enjoys being beaten by drug cheating scum. Especially the kind of cheating that was the worst systematic doping program in all of sporting history!

 

[StillAtLarge]

The only thing I like about Essendon is that supporter who zips around the stadium in his wheelchair. Everyone else can get stuffed! Expecting Mitchell to cop a few sprays coming down from the coach's box. Hope he wears his brownlow

Go Hawks.

Bring a shank.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

I haven't been critical of Clarko since the days where he played a young Zac Dawson on the big forwards and left him there to get killed.

But the non-selection of Mitchell Lewis trumps that. It makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[tige19]

Pleaseeeee late change... PLEASEEEE late change.... Pleaseee late change...

Lewis in
Glass out (not happening I know)

Whatever, just get Lewis in FFS.

 

[TylerDurden]

Highly doubtful there will be a late change. All inclusions have specific roles to play.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

As an MCC Hawks am I able to just scan in or did I have to upgrade?

Why? Because they chose to use the word 'omitted' instead of 'managed'?

 

[Hawker1167]

God I hope we win this one and we are able to stop their plan A and that’s their run they are a quick side when they have that freedom - afraid to say we are going to have to slow the game right down and win ugly

The most pertinent comment in the article was this one IMO -> "I’d like to see their first kick inside 50m hit a teammate more often. "

 

[thejockey]

Still think we look a bit big and slow against these guys , but also have great faith in Clarko . He is up to something

Hawks by 15

 

[Gaston]

If we bomb it high and long Hurley is going to suffer a severe case of leather poisoning tonight.

 

[LRobbo]

Hate isn’t the correct word.
Losing to them is unacceptable
Hawks by 25 points

 

[nickrebellious]

Brand in defence, swinging Sicily forward?
