Game Day Round 18, 2021: Hawks v Demons, MCG 7:25pm Sat'd 17th July

[TylerDurden]

I haven’t had a look at their team, I assume they might have made a few changes so that I could use some of the depth players a bit of a run at it, so that if they need to be called on in finals they know what they are getting.

No change.

 

[Yardie]

Hopefully we can keep the margin under 50 points.

Why should we take our foot off their throats? Go for the kill I say!

 

[Mitchell Madness]

So, I'll rephrase my last post since apparently it was "punting talk"
Every time I have... "thought" a player will get a certain amount of touches this year, they have gotten injured.
I think gawn will get 15 touches, will be interesting to see if the curse continues

 

[savagelunchbox]

Gee Melbourne are a good side. We'll just lack a bit of polish in this one.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

i actually cant see a way we lose this one.

I've thought about it over and over again, all the permutations, considered all the external factors, and the conclusion I've drawn is unless the team encounters a series of unfortunate events a la the Simpsons Baseball episode, we simply cannot lose

and don't forget, we have the master coach...

Definite Danger Game

Look for green shoots and think happy thoughts

 

[DEECEE]

My concern is melb will likely need % to help secure top spot. They wld have marked this one down for that.

Hopefully Melbourne just roll the arm over and don’t care enough to really put us to the sword. The weather might help keep the scores modest

Trying to find something to get enthused about, but struggling. No CJ, no Day etc. Can’t imagine Jeka and Kosi will get much of a sniff against May and Lever. Maybe DGB and Reeves can give us some hope. I’d like Duke to be a late in.

No Newcombe, unless a late in, is just a waste.

They could leave out their entire forwardline and still win this one...

 

[Bedi]

Hawks by 71 points and O'Brien to kick 7.

 

[kirbatron]

Expecting the phrase “significant learnings” in tonights presser.

'lacked polish' $1.05

 

[eldorado]

Like Clarko, I'm just hoping to get some significal educationings from the game.

A lot of our our silverwares have gone down, and it may look like we're a long soldier away from our next little wins, but we'll just keep rolling our polishes up, do the hard composures, and see which parts of the external noise are gonna be part of the next soldier.

lets hope we get a lick of the icecream soon

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

it is not a coincidence that players without a contract for next year are getting a look-in over players that do

Damn! Missed one!

 

[DuckBilledDazza]

Don’t forget about the chocolates that I don’t think we will get on this occasion.

 

[Sturty]

Everyone ready for
'Lacked Polish'

 

[The hands of stone]

No change.

I think during the game they will roll their mids forward more than usual with Gawn.
Also give their flanks and pockets more time at stoppage and in the guts .

They would be silly not to really .
Forward is their weak point so I think they will throw the magnets around a bit there.

[Glacier]

Wet day and we are so tall

I can't even be bewildered by this any more

It’s always so cold and wet in Melbourne.

Piggy's to market !!!

More like enjoy the run boys before suburban footy comes a calling.

 

[TheFourPillars]

I am going come out and say this right now so that the well known naysayers dont get proclaimed as nostradamus during and after the game. A lot of our game will be played along the boundary line. I mean most of Melbourne's opponents play along the boundary line. Including every top 4 side thats played them this year. If its good enough for them then its good enough for us. What i want every one to do is think about why that has happened all year.

 

[Glacier]

What does this even mean?

 

[treefingers]

I reckon we'll win this one, it's been one of those years.
