Unofficial Preview Round 24 2025, Sunday August 24th @Gabba v Hawks.

[MSB ROYS]

You're not dropping Hipwood in his 200th.

Despite his goal scoring being down, he won't be dropped. Hipwood is important to the team structure and there is nobody with any pace to replace him.

 

[M Malice]

Who should play on the Wizard? Zorks n Wilmot will both be too loose so perhaps Jasper if not needed on the wing? Or just concentrate on our own game plan and just use our Brain and not jump at shadows.

Unless there is an injury we don't know about I don't think Shadeau is going to be an in this week Lazza.

 

[mattsmob]

Are people actually wanting Hipwood dropped or just wanting more from him? Feel like some people are struggling to tell the difference between the two

 

[morsie]

More so he may miss due to injury than being dropped, the latter of which would not happen despite what some minority fans have said.

His efforts is always first class.I am a little worried that two years in a row his body is letting him down.He needs to get fit and firing.

 

[Sunny Land]

Serious question on Gunston for those who are more on top of his story than me…
I can’t believe he’s the same guy that was spudding it up for us in ‘23.
How do people account for the difference?
Was it his head space, our structure or something else?
Fagan must have been licking his lips thinking about a forward set up of Daniher, Hipwood and Gunston. Why didn’t it work?

He was grieving after the death of his Dad. Came up to Brisbane thinking it would help hiom move on but all it did was make it worse. I’m happy to see him doing so well….except when they play us.

My 2 grandsons got on late yesterday, one managed to grab 2 tickets for himself and a friend $109 each, the other grandson could only find single seats available(wanted 2) so him and friend are not going.

 

[Bucking Beads]

The ticket pricing this year has been completely nuts. Very unaffordable

I just jumped on to see if i can get a ticket for WB vs Freo. Only a few left, $189/seat (level 2 behind the goals).

I don’t want it that much!!

 

[Happy_Neale]

Very similar forward line setups this week for both teams and similar back lines as well. IMO the game will come down to the medium and small forwards - Rayner, Bailey, Charlie vs. Watson, Ginnivan, and McDonald/Moore.

Supply and demand, cant blame the club when every game is almost selling out.

Seems pretty cheap when I spent $2k for a ticket to the GF last year.

I think poor Hippy has become a whipping boy and the 'sheep' are jumping on board. Not on Big Footy so much but the Facebook supporter sites (I'm now a member of zero of them) are out of control, what people write and say about him is disgusting. People wanting to build their social media interactions just make posts about him not knowing anything about the game or his role, they just know it will get a reaction.

I'll take a bet none of them watch a reserves game - the cupboard is bare on replacements.

Unless he's injured and will be better with 2 weeks rest.

So glad I went off Facebook years ago .
Can only guess how putrid it would be .

 

[McIvor]

Kai definitely available this week according to Fages and he even said that Berry could be a chance but he would likely be held over to week one of finals, scans today will provide more info, same as Lachie.

I understand why but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Sunny Land may be club could try something unique like going on a road trip on saturday, staying away from home at sunshine coast or Gold coast and arrive at Gabba on Sunday like its an away game.

Worth trying to see if that makes any difference to how players prepare and if it does - could be a trick we can use for finals.

Don't expect that will be happening, but an excellent suggestion nonetheless.

You’re thinking too small. I’m wearing my Gunston hawks guernsey to the game Sunday and will be booing the boys to create a hostile environment.

Just win.

300 games - thought he was finished at the end of 2023 on game 250, to play 50 of some of his best performances after that in 2 years is remarkable.
