It’s Gameday!

But it’s only Saturday….oh wait

 

[Brishawk]

23 point victory coming up folks. Enjoy the ride

 

[Dewnior]

Best of luck to the debutants. Wishing them a long and successful AFL career.

Weddle to Juh ?. For a so called contending team the dogs have some very average best 22 players. Duryea, obrien, baker, scott, johannisen, keath and watching most freo games I'd throw lobb in there too, but he will probably have his one standout game for the season against us.


Our best team on paper for the year. hopefully we can continue our form of the last couple weeks and be competitive, we might actually get some praise being back in Melbourne again If we can .

HAWKS BY PLENTY, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE

 

[thehardway]

Bring the same effort as the last two weeks combined with tall targets in the forward line and we're a chance. Odds on Nash goes to Bont which will be a great spectacle.

 

[Hodginator]

We got this.

Say goodbye to Reid and say hello to our finals run.

HAWKS BY PLENTY, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE

Eventually this is gonna be true. Why not today!?

Lewis Ramma Greene hottest new forward line in the league. Sicily keen to prove himself, organises the back line to nullify dogs talls, leading by example. Return of Day and Ward takes the mid to a new level. Nash "Hanneberys" the Bont.

Hawks by 8 (goals. In case you were wondering)

A win for our Mighty Fighting will depend on the dog in the fight today
Nash vs Bont
Weddle vs JUH
Should make for great viewing

 

[The hands of stone]

Congrats to Josh and Max. Well deserved debuts . These guys will be serious players for us going forward .

If we bring the heat we did last few weeks we can make this a competitive game . Hopefully another step forward for us .

Hawks by 55

Not too different to most sides , average bottom 6 .
But they have Bont/English as elites and decent talent around that too .
Big challenge today

Happy Ram day to those who celebrate!

If we win only a couple games for the rest of the year, please let it be this one.

Absolutely loathe the great pretenders, kissed on the **** by umpires since they maxed out their umpire pity metre and have done the bare minimum with their list since 2016.

Go well, Hawkers!

 

[hawkinoz]

It is Rama time with a healthy dose of Lewis.. Put down Greene to kick a bag today.

By the end of the day AFL land would be talking about how hawks stole pick 18.

 

[TazHawk15]

A fair suck of the sav with the umpires against their pets would be nice.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Come on, you Hawkers! We can do this! We've come so close in the last two weeks, but our efforts were unfortunately stifled by miracles. Let's hope this is not the case today. We've been competitive without Lewis, surely we can win with him! GO HAWKS!!!

 

[grumbleguts]

Happy Ramadan.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Happy Ramadan.

Sacralicious!

I’m pumped! Moved out of Melbourne a while back so today will be my first live game for the year. Can’t wait to see how Wed and Rama go, although first game so tempered expectations. Looking for solid efforts to continue from the last two weeks. Dogs are up and down so let’s hope they are on a down today which history shows can happen for milestone games.
Tipping Lewis kicks 2 on return in the first half and 4 for bruest under the roof. Dogs by 11 points in a close one.

 

[cryptor]

Still feel confident we can win this if we bring the same intent as the last couple weeks.

Libba has been in great form so him being out is huge. If Nash can restrict Bont and keep him accountable going the other way then we'll be half way to victory.

Mitch Lewis back in the team finally gives our forward line some real structure that should have flow on effects to improve the output of everyone else.

The boys deserve a win and I hope they can get it this week.

 

[Billyc]

Hard to remember having a healthier list. Not a single best 22 player unavailable through injury.

Not expecting a win but no excuse for not being competitive.

English likely to be a real problem I think

 

[HedgeFund]

Expecting almost anything today.

Last two weeks’ effort has been great and the Dogs can be flaky for extended periods. If everything aligns we could well spoil the party for The Bont.

Too bad, so sad.

Go Hawks
