Tigers vs Hawks game thread

[one-eyed]

Your final thoughts on today's game before heading off to the 'G (1pm start don't forget)?

[Smokey]

Don't know about a final thought OE but I'm about to head off to the airport so I can be at the game.  That will do me for today!!   

[Go Richo 12]

Heading off on half an hour with my boys! Dont know why but i am optimistic!

Sitting at home with a mate and the family, please Richmond, please just win one game for the year and shut the media and wolves up.

PLEASE PLEASE!!

I'm just hoping we're competitive for most of the game and the Hawks are the crap Hawks of the past month and they don't have another NAB Cup day out.

In all honesty MT we really have to win this one, we can't keep playing teams into form like we have been doing. If we lose this one I really can't see where our first win is coming from. I think/hope we will win a game this year but when I don't know..

I'm nervous about a flogging today because they have a number of players back especially Buddy, Mitchell and Burgoyne and as much as Skipper is a dud his inclusion gives them some normal structure in the ruck especially against our poor rucks. It means Roughead won't have to risk himself either in the ruck. I just hope we have a good start so our confidence levels stay up for most of the match and they don't get their confidence up early.

LOL WAT.

Love the passion and optimisim. Reality is that I think our only possible win will be against West Coast or Adelaide at the G later in the year.
We wont beat Hawthorn. Season on the line, they've brought back Mitchell, Franklin and Burgoyne. They'll win comfortably.

Our expectations should solely be on seeing development, spurts of the game plan clicking and players chasing and tackling as long as possible. I'd be happy if we lost by 30 points but if we were in the game at some point during the last quarter and our kick in game plan has been restructured.

I don't expect us to win, but I don't want us to play them back into form

[mightytiges]

I'm heading off to the 'G now. Barrack hard everyone  .

[Infamy]

Jack & Newman with a goal each
Rioli & Franklin with 2 behinds for the Hawks

12 to 2 at the 11 min mark

[Infamy]

Edwards roves a contest from Farmer's inside 50 and kicks a goal

18-2

Early days but the hawks look like a team crippled with the fear of failure...

[eliminator]

Just hope we can do a 4 quarter effort

We had them rattled in that first qtr Inf, we should have capitalised on their mistakes, really we should have. We are slowly playing them ito form..... CARN TIGES!!!!!
