Hawthorn vs Adelaide

[lachie_001]

think Adelaide would be a bit wary of freo. in good form and they match up pretty well. pav will be hard to stop without talia and walker and mcpharlin will be a good contest also. Crowley will take either Thompson or danger and sandi v Jacobs will be interesting.

I thought mcpharlin was still injured?

tbh I think Truck doesnt have the speed to match Pav

yep my mistake he is. Dawson or tippet and McPhee on walker I think that means?

Pretty happy the Crows got up. Shouldn't have a problem kicking a winning score against that defence.

I knew you'd be on here quicksmart Tbag. ;)

Good on the Crows for winning, just don't think they have structures in place that can shut down the flow to our forwards.

Last match - Haw def Adel 140-84. Might be a bit closer this time around but I reckon we'll take the chocolates.

will be a really interesting match- just a massive slog fest to see who can pump the most, tex or buddy :P

[tbagrocks]

don't think I'll be so quick to respond this time next week ???

but...

the second half tonight was fantastic and Tex got him mojo back, Porplezia back to his best, matty Wright stood up, Bernie has swagger atm, so you just never know!

the crows worry me because of 1 thing Tippet and Walker Gibson too short Schoenmakers not strong enough stratton needs to float accross the front of them.
Dangerman and thompson
both very good at clearence work danger has the speed and I can't see a match up for him sewell has the strength but not the speed, Shiels doesn't have the strength or speedthe only player that i can see that can pressure and catch him is burgoyne.
thompson is easy sewell will take him

[Mr.Craig]

On the flipside though, how do they matchup Buddy, Roughy, Cyril, Gunston, Poppy and Breust? We have so many more avenues to goal and without Talia and Shaw they are going to be seriously stretched.

I think it will all depend on Walker and Tippett. We all know Hawthorn will score well but Adelaide will need to aswell. Rutten will take Buddy when he's deep, Doughty will take Cyril, Luke Thompson will likely get the big job on the resting ruckman roughy/hale. We just need to limit your scoring ops and make the most of ours. Then maybe we're a chance.

Adelaide does worry me a little bit , there forward line the most but the cockiness ive been hearing is disgusting, on Adelaide radio  my dad who lives there but is a die hard hawks man said they think they will win by excess of over 50 points and are massively underating Shoey, i know were all confident about the victory but i just think thats cocky
Adelaide will easily need to kick over 100 points to win may even more

[Ziplock]

for adelaide to win they'd need to play at their absolute best, and for hawthorn to play close to their worst.
