Option 2: Eagles
votes: 1
Option 3: Draw
votes: 2
Another match between two disappointing teams from last week with the Hawks just getting over the Giants and the Eagles going down to the Roos. Hawks will be keen to keep their Launceston record in tact and should win but the Eagles may surprise.
I really hope to see the boys, in particular the midfield really lift their effort, but cant see us coming anywhere close here
JJK out just makes things worse
Hawks by 40 :'(
Hawks by 27.
Hawks should win, but think It will be closer than that RD. Hawks by 20
Hawks by 5-6 goals I reckon, perhaps pushing towards 50 points
Hopefully a trip down to the old fortress can see us recapture our mojo.
Hawks will smash the Eagles.
This is going to be 80+ points. Reckon the axe might fall at the selection table for the Eagles. Plus JJK will miss.
It could get very very ugly for WCE
Hawks by 30
Honestly, this has the potential to get quite ugly.
Hawks to make light work of the Weagles.
Lean towards the Hawks.
Hawks by 45.
Excerpt from a text I sent a mate yesterday morning...
"I wish I was head of team selection at WCE too
OUT: Masten, Wellingham, Shuey, Schofield, Hill (all ommited) Cox (rested)
IN: Sheed, Hutchings, Tunbridge, Sinclair, Glass, Wilson
These flowering downhill skiers in our midfield need to realise they're not gonna get gifted games and paid big bucks to play like shower."
I want to see us play kids and drop the front-running pretty boys that make up our midfield.
/rant.
Hawks by 68 but Dom Sheed to have 40 touches and kick 7 goals.
Jeremy McGovern is coming in for JJK
Hopefully he has a great game and really pushes to keep a spot in the team for a bit longer as he can swing back as well as play forward
Look, if this game was at the G Id actually give the Weagles a silly chance of winning, but sheesh, having to travel from Perth to Melbourne, to Dubai, to London, to Singapore and finally down to Tassie ::)
Gee wiz that is a big ask, but stand by it, the WCE are a silly chance although Im tipping the Hawks, but they aren't exactly flying are they? So, CARN EAGLES (Especially after being shafted by the travel by the AFL, again)
Hawks are good playing out of Australia, I'm tipping Hawthorn to win by 60 or more.

CYRIL Rioli is likely to start in the substitutes vest as the Hawks look to recapture AFL premiership form against West Coast on Saturday.
Good news for us Hartung owners hopefully it means we can squeeze some more cash from him

Hawks play in Tas several times a year. Pretty sure they are all dual-citizens now.
My opp just brought in LeCras this week. hope that's an epic fail. Go hawks, WC goalless 1st qtr.
Rioli NOT the sub
@AFL: #AFLHawksEagles - no changes. Subs: Billy Hartung (@hawthornfc) and Sharrod Wellingham (@WestCoastEagles)
Mindgames Hawks, mindgames!
Damn was hoping Hallahan would be a late in.
YEEES HARTUNG :D
I've got him on the bench but my opponent has him on field.
Bloody Wellongham have him in AXVIII SC
flower YOU HAWTHORN YOU MISLEADING BUNCH OF PRICKS.
Hartung on my bench but his cash gen is fuucked.

Nic Nat looks to be working into some stellar form, could be a nice little downgrade.

He had no preseason and was always going to take a long time to get going, especially being his size
Has been getting better every week over the past couple of weeks
Not starting Hutch over Dunstan/Rischi is looking like a big mistake in Worlds. :(
Very classy X!
This holding the ball shower is ridiculous both ways.
First time all year my opponent has Roughy and the day he decides to actually go huge is today vs me >:(
Burgoyne, it's red, go get it you useless cow
Does Clarko really make this much difference? From premiers with him to almost losing and could lose to two crap teams.

Roughy up to 91. Ouch.
So is Roughy that good, or MacKenzie having a shocker?
I am so glad I reversed my trades yesterday. Had traded Roughy for Tex originally

Bit of both. Helps that Hawthorn are bombing the ball into the 50 quicker.

Roughy is murdering the Eagles.
Up to 107
Roughy is accidentally kicking goals now.
If only Hurn decided to show up today
weren't these the same scores as half time last night?? pretty close to anyway. BETTING SCANDAL ;D
yep exactly the same. 10.6.66 to 7.5.47
Half time: West Coast opened up a 12-point lead early in that term, but the Hawks responded taking a 19-point lead into the long break. Jarryd Roughead starring with five first half goals.

don't you just love when you look at the scores and everyone is yellow with +'s EXCEPT FOR TWO GUYS. ONE IS THE SUB AND THE OTHER IS THE USELESS MOTHERflowerER IN YOUR TEAM. flower you Burgoyne
Cripps pls, do something.
I love it when players dominate the week after everyone sideways trades them out. Except when it happens to me ;)
flower you Burgoyne, Hurn & Roughead.
I need Burgoyne to get 90 somehow.
FFS Roughead slow down.
Need Parker to get 130+ to be satisfied.
I had a dream that involved Alastair Clarkson last night. I asked him how Zac Webster was going. Later on someone stabbed me in the arm with a Cornetto.
Who was saying Roughy wouldn't make his BE? ;D
Somwehat makes up for Burgoyne..
Well, bringing in Nic Nat for the R2 SC providing a good slice of decision making
Just need to flower off Birchell and Suckling in AF now ::)

game is now boring. shower time
Breust also died after quarter time.
Seriously West Coast, flower you. Why take Ellis off when Cripps hasn't touched it in two and a half quarters. >:(
Xellis subbed for Wellingham.
Three qtr time: The Hawks pulled away from the Eagles in that term, it could blowout to an 80-100 point flogging the way this game is heading. Xavier Ellis was subbed out for the Eagles late.

Tanking surely.
Cox having a Barry Crocker, might just do a sneaky downgrade to Nic Nat.
Keep going Burgoyne and Roughead
Burgoyne your aim is to get 80 sc points
And Cox and Bruest please do shower all
Rioli subbed off

So GWS is better then WC?
Was very excited XEllis may end up around 80+... then subbed:(
Was to be my only bright spark after 6 players.... and he gets 66??
Will McGovern get a decent run of games for West Coast? Would be perfect timing for me as a downgrade option forward.

Hartung's buggered his elbow.

I agree. Now that the Eagles season looks shot they should (hopefully) give some youngsters a go.
It just doesnt look like the Birchall of old :-[

Good Work Roughead!!!
Its pretty funny that I was considering trading Roughead to lecras.
My defence had had a low start in SC, Borgoyne , Simpson and Bartel
Pissed off I didn't trade in Nic nat a few weeks ago instead of goldy
Nic Nat will be 419k this week, think I might trade Cox & pocket some cash.
have Roughy and Wellingham in AXVIII SC least i got 198 between them lol

Two crap teams? Sooo whats that make the Bummers? Only just stumbled over the line against the Giants, the same team we annihilated by almost 20 goals...
Didn't catch the game today, might catch a replay during the week! NicNat, Gaffy and Hutchy had good numbers though.
the hawks have been struggling for a while, largely due to injuries. It's a testament to their sides quality that they've been able to keep up, especially when losing their head coach as well.
