Game Day Round 9, 2022: Hawks v Tigers, 1.45pm Sat 14th May @MCG

[Royce Hafey]

Richmond didn't beat hawthorn in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2016 (lost twice). You guys had wins in 2012, 2013 and 2015.

So you had two wins against us in Premiership years.

Hardly a fair bit.

We beat you in Rd 20 2008, by 29 points. So that's 3 out of 4 of your premiership years. I don't know why we did so well against you comparative to our team's ability back then - but we did. Not that it's relevant to predicting this match. The 2012 win - 62 points against a team that would play in a grand final - is something that sticks in Tiger supporters' minds.

Denver named on the ball!

Most tigers fans are flogs.

have to clarify - in my experience most people who I knew were Tigers fans before 2017 are ok. The ones I discovered were fans after 2017 are flogs

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Expecting some pain today. Richmond love playing us and they are back in form. Dusty and Lynch will dominate.

Hopefully we can be competitive and I'd love for Butler to have a good game on debut.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Butler to kick 3 on debut. Let’s go!

 

[Off The Couch]

Not expecting a win but as usual would like to see us competitive and a solidifying of the game plan/s Sams trying to implement

Good luck to our debutant, Sam Butler

 

[Max Powers]

Just have a crack Hawks, and see how we go.

 

[H00t]

Luckily for us tigers are one of the worst midfield teams in the comp.

Hopefully we can be competitive in the middle to at least give our forwards a chance.

Contested ball needs to be a priority.

Based on todays crowd, ‘absolutely everybody’ was probably not a fitting song by Vanessa A.

Sitting in the reserved members and we are doing well if it's 10% full.

 

[StillAtLarge]

We'll flog them. 30+
Best forward line we've fielded this year

 

[Geead]

Denver named on the ball!

That's actually hilarious, imagine he dominates there today

 

[grumbleguts]

Butler to kick 3 on debut. Let’s go!

Pretty sure the last couple of blokes to kick three on debut hardly played another game anywhere (Grimley and Lowden). So here's hoping he kicks four. 3 seems to be a curse.

 

[Bedi]

First game of the year I'm really not feeling confident about things, but with that said, if we come to play we can def win it.

 

[Max Powers]

Here we go!

 

[SA HAWK]

That Newk handball

 

[Bedi]

Gunston did well in the middle there against 3 opponents

 

[Max Powers]

Close Moore. Good try though.

 

[Max Powers]

How nice is it that we don't have to listen to Derwayne or Healy today.

 

[Off The Couch]

Well done JOM

 

[theiaofseed]

One way to earn your first kick in the AFL

 

[Max Powers]

Incorrect disposal

 

[Bardo State]

Tigers very undisciplined. Great pressure hawks!

 

[SA HAWK]

Fair start.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Gotta kick that.
