We're a big chance here. Hopper will be a late out for the Giants.

 

[mainehawk]

Go Hawks, a win would be good

 

[Davo23]

Damn, it’s raining now, quite hard too.

Please stop!

 

[4THAWN]

Is anyone expecting a late change on our side?

If Hoppers a late out that's good, but Greene, Williams, Tarranto, are still a pretty nifty on-ball squadron.

My concerns would be centered around Mummy/Simpson monstering Cegs in the ruck, and making it real tough for our midfielders.

 

[Nastyfish]

Good to see some brown and gold down here at the kingo! Pretty nasty outside....

 

[bumsonseats]

I can officially announce it is snowing in Canberra. We live about 15 mins from the ground and snow drifts in amongst the rain drops

 

[Hawk the Talk]

As tough as nails

 

[VandoHawk]

As tough as nails

I had to put on a jacket just looking at that

Mumford was a notable out for them last time, so he'll be a big concern in McEvoy's absence.

Currently 2.7 degrees in Canberra, with over 2 hrs until the bounce.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Woo!

Game day.

We'll win this.

 

[MistyAvalon]

Hawks goal..so simple kick lots and we win

Hub asked if I wanted to go .stupidly I said yes...I am from the sub tropics..I have never been this cold

 

[madhawksfan]

Never worn so many layers in my life. I can barely move. Rain has been sporadic for most of the day thanks to the wind.

Big chance for us to get another win.

Will make the victory all the sweeter ....

 

[spudmaster]

Those of us hanging out for high scoring, accurate kicking, are likely going to need to wait at least one more week huh?

 

[Bugs1977]

I wonder if Cyril would’ve played this game if he wasn’t retired

 

[Noneedforaname]

As tough as nails

Look at the insulation on the bastard though. Runs like an Oompa Loompa.

Plenty of hawks fans about. Far outnumber the plastics so far.

Really warmed up from aburnings couple of hours ago. No rain, slight breeze, clouds scattered about. I'm sure it won't last, but at the moment is cool but pleasant enough.

Feel like I've jumped the queue with CJ. All those Box Hill and training watchers and he's up here for the unveiling. Go you little rippa!

Pride tonight. Show what weve got and derail the GWS finals train

 

[Hawks1994]

So Bureau of Meteorology posted earlier it's going to feel like -6 degrees during the game. Hope everyone going to the game is wearing 10 layers
This is going to be very difficult to watch

Best of luck to CJ on his debut, take em on young man

Well done to Ricky 'The Silver Fox' Henderson on 150 games

We're a big chance here. Hopper will be a late out for the Giants.

How no one has tipped us is beyond me. Reeks of not even bothering to look at the teams nor the weather. They rely on slick ball movement. Good luck trying to achieve that in s**t conditions.

Hopper out - goodcall offtherails9.

No change for us

Pack your finest winter woolies for this one folks
Should be fun for this local Hawker, having only just returned from a European summer jaunt.

Hawks goal..so simple kick lots and we win

Had me worried there for a moment. Thought Hawks had already kicked a goal and I had missed the start of the game

 

[Scooter_1968]

It definitely is

Pretty sure Deloraine is Tasmania
