Game Day Round 17, 2024 : Geelong v Hawthorn, 4:35pm GMHBA stadium

[Strapping Young Lad]

It’s Game day!

 

[Dewwwww]

ill settle for a 5 goal win.

Wiz to kick 4 and really give it to the Geelong crowd

 

[Dewyyyyy]

I’m really confident but know it’ll be a closer game. Just can’t see how they run with the midfield group, should dominate through the middle and look super potent forward, defense has been awesome too, matchups wise aswell.

But it’s Geelong v Hawthorn and who knows, going in confident but expecting any result.

My first game down at the Cattery. Looking forward to this. A good test of where we’re at.

 

[Sturty]

Hawks by 4-5 goals
Ferals will be fuming we trounce them at their dump

 

[Hodginator]

Get this one over the line and then watch out, AFL

Hawks by 21.

[The Golden Glenferrie]

About to head down. Got my travellers and no plan. SMASH EM HAWKS

 

[threesixpio]

Gee I hope we are fired up for this. We want pressure, running, fierce contests and the whole kit and kaboodle.

Farkn Go Hawks. Let’s get this done

For those making the pilgrimage from the sacred heart of Glenferrie Oval here is a suggested itinerary.

If you’re travelling into Southern Cross on the Belgrave or Lilydale train lines, the connection with the Geelong train is only 5mins; so be prepared to hurry or it’s about 30mins until the next one. Please allow accordingly. That means tune for a coffee or beer on the flip side.

This gets you into Geelong with plenty of time to sample some nectar at The Sawyers Arms or Barwon Club Hotel. Both of which are very close to the stadium.

Sawyers Arms Tavern | Geelong Pub

Sawyers Arms Tavern is one of Geelong's oldest pubs, located in Newtown. Sawyers Arms is affectionately known as Clats. Serving modern Australian cuisine, the hotel is well known as one of Geelong's best steak restaurants. Open Sundays

Barwon Club Hotel

If you don’t want to take the connecting coach at Geelong then it’s about a 2k walk to Kardinia Park.

After the game, I believe there are a couple of extra trains from Geelong (not sure if they are putting on coaches from South Geelong though) so as always double check PTV & Vline before you travel.
Go Hawks!

If we get up today, the lid is off!

Just want an even team effort, everyone has to play their role.

 

[threesixpio]

Wonder if the players know how much we would love a win today?

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

**** these old campaigners

 

[StillAtLarge]

Just want a win of any margin and Wizard to be suspended for the rest of the year for inciting the crowd. That'd do me

HAWKS BY PLENTY!!!!!!!!

 

[MasterSamurai]

Their frwd line is extremely mobile , that's one concern I have. İf our big 5 play to expectations in the middle then we'll run over the top of them by the last qtr.

Fully expect arsey goals from the usual suspects. I also think Dempsey is primed to Ronke us. We need to iron that little prick out

 

[Brucie Buffer]

We need to kick straight today to put the pressure on, they will be pulling them out of their arse.

 

[rdhopkins2]

PSA for any Geelong supporters travelling on the train. Please don’t forget to take your personal belongings with you!

 

[Glebehawk]

Did we bring Mitchell in to go to Stewart?

 

[matey]

That last game still leaves a bad taste in the mouth those first 5 goals they kicked ……. 4 of them out of their arse! I hope we start off this way today.

Looking at the kids we have drafted under Sam/MM being competitive, hardworking and a strong will to succeed are common traits. Well here is an opportunity to take a big step here’s your chance boys

straight kicking, a good start, not getting overawed, and not getting sucked into playing into Geelong's tactics (i.e. constantly bombing it to the forward line, seemingly without a plan)

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Entering enemy territory be like..

 

[suedehead]

Meek should be primed for a big day today. He'll be the only proper ruckman on the ground.

Hawkins kicked 4 that day. His first was an absolute ripper from the boundary.
Henry kicked 4. May be the sub today.
Stengle drained a 50m snap after we spoiled a ball over the line,.which they called fn deliberate.

The ruck is massive today. It has to be Blics.
There's no way they can leave Lewis, Chol and Gunner to Henry, Kolo and Stewart. SDK will have to go back.

I'm expecting Meek to destroy Blics in there and give us first use all day.

Started noticing and enjoy a number of people in the media, friends etc saying they are looking forward to this game the most this round. We are young playing an aggressive game style trying to kick 100pts every week ……. becoming a good team to watch by football fans in general again
