DemonWA 3,941 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 This friday we take on the Hawks under lights on the big stage. With GCS & GWS playing this round we could easily find ourselves in last position after this round. Need a big effort from the lads. A win would be nice, but i'm just hoping for a 4 quarter effort that does smash our percentage below whoever looses the new kid on the block derby! As an interstate member i don’t often get to many games at the G. Where would people recommend that i sit for a good view and to be amongst the MFC faithful?
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Watching Hawthorn on saturday night was a hard thing to do. That list of players trusts each other. The MFC list does not. Have our players learnt anything since the Round 2 2011 smashing? Doesn't look like it. To be bottom of an 18 team comp when one side is playing its first season is beyond disgraceful. I doubt GW$ will win, but in a way i hope they do. So this whole club can feel shamed into ACTUALLY improving & not just talk about it. Pity we delisted Shane Valenti. We could use him next friday night.
drdrake 3,203 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I must admit I have a hatred for Hawthorn, really the only club in the AFL I really Hate. This stems back to late 80's, then into the 90's and has been really highlighted over the past 5 years. To me Hawthorn are our school yard bully, they pick on us, intimidate us, bash us and their ex president had no problem sinking the boots into us. I remember 5 years ago walking to the MCG, Dean Bailey's first game as coach, Cale Mortons first game as player, we still had some old names on our list that gave us some hope that 2007 was just a bad year these guys are good players we keep them fit and who knows maybe back into the top 8. 15mins into the first our year was over, they smashed us, they distroyed any confidence our players had and this was the start of the rebuild. We realised that for our older players that was it and more concerning we didn't have anyone coming through. Last year I still believe that our second quarter against the Hawks was the best we have played in 6 years, again hope at half time that was destroyed by the 15min mark of the third quarter that was the start of the end for Dean Bailey. If there is any week I would love our team to go down swinging it is on Friday night, I don't care if players miss weeks through suspension, we have to stand up to our bullies, someone take to Buddy he struts around like Mick Jagger when he palys the team he once barracked for, the Chucker Sam Mitchell puff his chest out and seems to know that he can drop the ball throw the ball and will never be penalized against Melbourne. Jorden Lewis plays like he is 10 foot 2 agasinst Melbourne, Roili has feasted on us, their young kids Brucest, Smith, Shoenmakers, Suckling and co are in on the bullying. I hate Hawthorn and I can't wait for the day when we finally stand up to them

I'm not sure... which pub is it that most here frequent? ;-) I don't think it will be the 10+ goal drubbing that Harcourt is suggesting, but I think it would be the height of optimism to believe we could win it,.

It will be exactly the same as Round 1 2008 unless our list looks each other in the eye and says "F$&@k that...no more".

DemonWA 3,941 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Posted May 7, 2012 Olympic Stand. thanks mate, will my GA membership admission get me in there?
Striker475 696 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 thanks mate, will my GA membership admission get me in there? Yeah it will for bottom tier and top tier. If you want good seats in either make sure you get there 20mins early (thereabouts)
pitmaster 3,592 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 thanks mate, will my GA membership admission get me in there? \Gate 3 - and if you want to be sure of being in a sea of red and blue call the club to sit on the second level - it'll cost you but you'll be among your own,
Good Times Grimes 2,396 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I'm dreading this game more than any other game this year. I will be happy if we get within 10 goals.
Dee Fan 3,247 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I think we'll be beaten but probably by about the same margin as by Geelong, I don't think they are better than Geelong and we are playing them at the G not down at Skilled Stadium.
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I'm dreading this game more than any other game this year. I will be happy if we get within 10 goals. I am trying not to think about it. When was the last time we got near them ?
drdrake 3,203 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I am trying not to think about it. When was the last time we got near them ? 2010 midyear we looked good then the rain came down and I think we only got done by 21 odd points See what Hawthorn have even done to us loyal MFC supporters they have smashed us into submission. The Yellow and poo brown supporters will walk into our MCG on Friday night knowing they have us beaten on and off the field. Hawthorn started our rot and it is the time we stopped it.

See, we can't even recall when we last beat those buggers. Beyond tragic isn't it!!
CHAMP 347 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I'm dreading this game more than any other game this year. I will be happy if we get within 10 goals. If you'd taken them at the line-bet over the last 3 games, all-up, you'd now have 7.08 times your investment. This week the $1.92 line has them starting 48.5 points ahead of the Hawks.
drdrake 3,203 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 See, we can't even recall when we last beat those buggers. Beyond tragic isn't it!! It is, but I can't recall when we last beat Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton, North. Besides Essendon and Richmond the only other teams I remember beating are St Kilda 2006 final and Western Bulldogs in 2007 the most selfish game of footy we have every won, if we had lost that there would be no Nick Nat v Jack Watts argument we would have them both.

Mac7 309 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Would be nice if both Gibson and Hodge missed, which is a chance. Clarke could bag a few.

I really want to see Rioli crunched, Buddy get a corky and our big enforcer Mitch really ruffle a few egos. I really want to see a contest!
stuie 7,374 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Meh.... we're tanking so we don't have to take Viney Jnr with pick 2 or 3....
Dee Fan 3,247 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Meh.... we're tanking so we don't have to take Viney Jnr with pick 2 or 3.... I wish we were good enough to tank.
deeflog 679 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 if we get within 12 goals i will be happy, we just can not compete with the hawks, they simply have our number and are far too hard and skilled for us
