Game Chat – Hawthorn Vs Gold Coast

Written by Schwarzwalder on August 18 2019

Where and when: Marvel Stadium, Sunday August 18, 4.40pm AEST

What it means for Hawthorn: Its season has a pulse. Still a game and percentage out of the finals picture, Hawthorn won’t be giving up hope just yet. A big victory over Gold Coast on Sunday evening will keep it in the equation for another week at least.

What it means for Gold Coast: It just needs something to provide a bit of hope going into the summer. A run of 16 straight defeats has undoubtedly taken its toll on Gold Coast, which is now starting to get beaten badly. It needs a competitive showing on Sunday.

The stat: Hawthorn won’t love heading back to Marvel Stadium this weekend, having lost all three of its games at Docklands this year.

The match-up: James Sicily v Ben King

King has displayed some good signs recently. The young forward has shown glimpses of his immense potential, kicking eight goals in his past four weeks. Sicily has been in fine form for the Hawks and will likely be his direct opponent this weekend.

It’s a big week for: Jaeger O’Meara

Suns chairman Tony Cochrane recently declared that O’Meara lied to his face before requesting a move to the Hawks, adding a bit of spice to this weekend’s contest. The midfielder will undoubtedly have something to prove against his former side.

Big call: The Hawks kick 10 goals in the opening quarter to lay the foundations for a big win.

Schwarz says:  Hawthorn by 72 pts

  2. Hope Omeara goes relatively big and the hawks win by an absolute bag! Omeara and Burgess to play probably down by 130ish hope they can deliver in the prelim!

    1. I can’t believe they didn’t send miller to him. Worpel has been carrying the midfield last couple weeks as worpel is very susceptible to a good tag

    1. Hi GD . I feel your pain. I am on 2326 with Sicily to play but I have Worpel as well.
      A very close game for us today. So close but the boys are playing well.

      1. Evening, CT.

        Yeah, I was at the game. Not the worst performance from us tbh. Great start, but the rain and Hutchings going down made it tough. Will catch em’ in the finals.

        Nice work on having Worpel. Been in terrific form. Hopefully he can keep going to balance out Sicily for you.

        Goodluck!

  4. Thank f*ck Sicily isn’t a POD in any of my match-ups.

    Condolences to those who’ve been screwed by his “performance” today. Ridiculous. On 27 at 3QT. Asshole.

  6. 1st time with my best 22 on the field and I’ve currently managed 2155 inclusive of Sicily’s current score as well as managing my 1st captain below 100 this season (P Cripps).

    Also the Hoff over Dunkley differential in RD8 has now roughly increased to 888 points.

  7. Alright guys, I’m literally the biggest tinass on the planet.

    I was going to do Smith -> Houli, but missed the bloody lockout, so I had to trade Sicily instead.

    I was going to captain Fyfe, but missed the fricking lockout AGAIN, so I had to take a chance on Dunkley.

    Before the start of the Doggies game I was up 19 with Dunkley into Macrae and my opponent’s Sicily the only pod left. Completely unwinnable position if I’d have taken anyone else as captain or if Sicily put together half a game.

    1. Also, I’m finished at 2543, round ~800 overall, I wonder if my ridiculous luck has put me in the top 500 for the first time ever.

      1. What a ride, Old Mate. Great score. Good luck with your rank. Emphasis on “luck”, because at the top level that’s all SC is: luck.

        Bloody 100 point difference between Sicily’s two performances v Suns…

  9. Looking at what might have been for my Hawks if not been overrun in last quarter by both doggies and saints with only one fit player on bench both times.Also 1-11 from set shots v Lions didn’t help.

  10. Who is this kid “Roughhead” playing forward kicking 6 goals! Where has he been all season?
    All the best with your retirement champ.
