Should be an interesting game. Hawthorn have the advantage of playing in round 0.
I think it'll be tight for much of the game before Hawthorn pull away to win by about 20-30 points. It's been a while since we've lost to them.

We have to win the midfield and ruck battles to be a chance because we simply don't have the defenders to counter Hawthorn's smalls/resting mids. Even that, Hawthorn's interceptors can nullify much of our forwardline so we're going to be reliant on the likes of Perkins and Martin to impact the scoreboard.

Durham should get the job on Day and McGrath on Moore.

 

[RedWhite4Ever]

Will be a great game and closer than many think.

Hawks by 12 points.

 

[Angus Young]

Bullish. Hawks.

 

[Hawkinspired]

Every team that won in opening round last year backed it up and won in round 1

 

[Mesc]

Hawks win. Alot of magic in this team at the moment. 30+ points.

 

[voorhees]

going to be a interesting one..
looking forward to what the Don's roll out,they need a first up opening season statement.
Hawks to strong - 30p

 

[Roddy]

Should be a regulaton win for us, but probably won't be. A quarter of a century out from their last flag, and more than two decades from their last finals win, the dons always seem to play their Grand Final against us, arguably their fiercest rival.

Will that be enough to get them over the line? Could be. It won't surprise me....

No wonder the Dons burn out mid season, they're playing grand finals in rd 1.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Going by my track record.. if I pick Hawks they will lose....

Ah screw it. Hawks by 27 points

 

[Roddy]

Sad but true....

 

[Cam Payne]

Talk the Bombers, right up, up, to see their season go down. Hawks by 23 glory and fame.

 

[Milanista28]

We could win. Maybe?

 

[smasha]

Hawks will show up.
Depends on what Bombers show up?

 

[Jim Prideaux]

We could win. Maybe?

I think you certainly could. I think if we are serious we should though. Sounds like Kako will debut for you, potentially McCabe for us, may they both do well.

 

[Vindicater]

Think it will be win for the Hawks somewhere between 20-30 points.

Essendon to keep it close until some point in the third where the Hawks will bang a couple on without reply. Then the last quarter will be evenish again.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Essendon by 103 pts

 

[mike ross]

Sad but true....

Great song.

And Prior looking like making his debut for the Bombers as well.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Good for him, father son without the draft manipulation. Don’t no much about him, what are we talking?

 

[rdhopkins2]

Danger game for the Hawks.
Hawthorn should do enough to knock over Essendon who will play a great game but fall a couple of goals short.

 

[Skipper_]

Hawthorn by 54

Solid defender, aggressive and good skills. I'm looking forward to seeing Dear get out there soon. How's he tracking?

Few weeks away yet, I think they were saying he should be back around Gather round, but others will know more.

Sounds like a great pick up for your lot.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Should be a hot game and good to watch

Hopefully this thread stays balanced, because the Essendon one , Jeezus

The screw up of losing Mass has curdled some brains over there
