WE'RE BACK BABY!

 

[Zevon]

Great test for the young Hawks to show they can back up last year’s magical run with further progress in 2025. A win at the SCG would be a huge statement first up if they can do it.

 

[My Tilly]

Swans in a thriller.

 

[TylerDurden]

Should be an absolute cracker.

 

[Hawkinspired]

Sydney are 2-1 in round 1 post a GF loss since 2014 but that could be skewed due to both the wins being against eventual 15th spot.

Will be season defining for Hawthorn if they win as we’ve seen what they can do with momentum. Will be a tough task against a hungry Sydney outfit with a new coach.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Mills ruled out already.

 

[JZedd]

Pretty decent player, though he didn't play much last year. Don't like serious injuries for any team / players.
Apart from that I'm glad he's out.!!!

 

[Roddy]

If this was at the G, I’d be very confident. Since it’s at Sydney’s G it’s line ball, maybe leaning slightly towards the Swannies.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Hard to tip against the Swans at home in Rd 1.
Still, it’s a good early test for the Hawks to see if they can start the season well.

 

[Hawksboy72]

Hawks need to be switched on early, swans will be wanting to make a big statement first up after their GF debacle.

This Hawks group have been slow starters for years and the two preseason games have given me little confidence to expect that to change. Only that the additions of Barrass and Battle should allow us to keep it close.

Swans by under 4 goals.

Swans by 62points

 

[Mr Meow]

I think Hawthorn are well primed for a statement win. Sydney without Gulden might struggle with ball movement. Their forwards shouldn't get on top of Hawthorn's defence.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Sydney by 75

Do you think they'll ease up after 1/2 time?

 

[Xtreme]

Do you think they'll ease up after 1/2 time?

Maybe it'll depend on Coxy's huddle instructions.

 

[The King!]

Well it isn't a grand final, so I assume we may show

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Utterly zero confidence but seeing it's not a GF the flat track bullies probably look a million bucks against Hawthorn

 

[Jatz]

Should be a cracking game, really looking forward to this one.

 

[sneakycutler]

who's out for Hawks?

 

[cryptor]

who's out for Hawks?

Dear and Lewis won’t be back for a while.

Impey and Jiath didn’t play in our preseason game last week but might be included.

Barrass rolled his ankle in that game but I think he’s fine.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Dear and Lewis won’t be back for a while.

Impey and Jiath didn’t play in our preseason game last week but might be included.

Barrass rolled his ankle in that game but I think he’s fine.

Impey and Dimma should be back.

 

[Crankyhawk]

And now we are opening the season!

 

[CCurnow3votes]

I think we should increase this game to 8 “quarters”.

Let’s make it up somehow!
