Game Day Round 5, 2020: GWS Giants v Hawthorn, 6.10pm

[Dixie Flatline]

It would be fantastic to sit 4-1 after the first five rounds of this very unusual season as the Hawks embark on an extended stay on NSW.

We will win by 22.

Harry Jones to have a ripper on debut!

 

[savagelunchbox]

No doubt De Boer will tag Harry Jones, based on reputation on here.

 

[Lawsy]

I don't care who he tags, just get a win for the team and be we'll be top 4.
We have good Intel for the ground from Scully, Patton, Frost, and somewhat good form on the game and against GWS.
Gunners to kick 3 for the win.

If I hear the commentators one more time say O’Brien “almost” I will throw my TV out the window.

I hope you've got a lot of TVs

I think timmy’s going for an all time record here....

 

[Pessimistic]

TOB had a good game v the giants last time in not great conditions for talls

 

[Yardie]

I think timmy’s going for an all time record here....

I reckon he'll just miss out on the record.....

 

[TylerDurden]

Huge game. A win will set up the season.

Hawks by 10 points.

 

[local hack]

Hawks by 22 points and a 4 & 1 start would be pretty neat! Scully has been quite, reckon he’s due to bog tonight.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Win and we're in the top 4, lose and we're out of the 8 after Round 5.

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Roddy]

I reckon he'll just miss out on the record.....

Hopefully that'll be because the selectors will come to their senses and get Lewy and the General in there....

Confident

 

[phlogiston]

Looking forward to seeing Harry Jones debut. Good luck young man!

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I wonder if Leon will play Whitfield off the HBF with Williams being out?

Shaw is looking well done, so they will be lacking some drive from their D50. If we can keep Haynes busy, and Whitfield is back there, then we can really exploit their backline.

CARN HAWKIES.....

It was just Huddo saying that, being a geelong troll. He knew what he was doing that little man child

 

[WWSD]

Without Taylor and Williams, plus Davis under an injury cloud the Hawthorn forwards should test the Giants defence provided they can get the ball in there often enough.

Whitfield, Haynes and Greene are key for the Giants. Shutting them down goes along way to winning this game.

Sicily vs Greene?
O’Brien/Gunston vs Haynes
Shiels vs Whitfield?

I’d prefer Hardwick to Greene to be honest, I feel like Greene demands more of a defensive lockdown focus which would rob us of Sicily’s strengths.
Also feel Haynes would be too good in the air for Gunston if bombed in long. I think he has to go to TOB or Lewi anyway, especially if Davis doesn’t get up.
I like Sheils to Whitfield if used in the guts

 

[Pessimistic]

‘at least one media person gets it. Leon’s headache is bigger than Clarkos

 

[Bedi]

Slightly humiliating for Paton to miss out against his old club. Hopefully it stokes a fire within to motivate him to the next level, not lose confidence like Vickery.
No reason at all we can't win this. Gunston is due for a change in luck, so reckon he might snag a few, and Mitchell to announce his return with a BOG performance. As well as Wingard and Burygone, I'm most looking forward to seeing Siciy, TOB, Lewis and Big Boy in action. Hawks in a thriller by 2 points.

 

[Slysh]

Did we only fly up for the game this morning?

Is this normal for us to do with a Sydney trip?
