Friday Night

[tonatopia 278]

22 vs 22.

We can win.

The dawks don't have a match for clarke. So if jamar and moloney can win plenty of centre clearances and allow the dangerous Sylvia and davey to crumb off the long bomb, it gives us a forward potency similar to roughhead, Cyril and Osborne. I believe garland or frawley can stop Franklin and I would play bennell on Cyril.

Mckenzie can stop Mitchell, hodge is out and moloney and sewell can do battle. Trengove should equal Lewis and jones and magner can scrap for the hard pill.

Play Howe at chf, bate and dunne on the flanks for the long goal, and we have plenty of avenues going forward.

We need to play tapscott for raw strength and grimes can carve up the backline.

Most of all, we need to 'click'.

I am trying not to think about it. When was the last time we got near them ?

I recall giving them a hiding in 06 .... It may have been 05 (not 100%)

was that the year they drafted buddy and roughy!!! I'm sure they would thank us for it...

[Dr. Gonzo 23,723]

See, we can't even recall when we last beat those buggers. Beyond tragic isn't it!!

We smashed them on a Friday night in 2006 (about round 8). In fact here it is, we won by 75 points with Campbell Brown acting like a tool and costing them about 4 goals.

I have this game on my hard drive, might be better off sitting at home and watching this on Friday as I'm quite certain the scoreline will be reversed on the weekend.

Almost 6 years to the day...of complete and utter thrashings...It makes me ill with anger, as i had to sit through the '88 GF with 4 Hawthorn Supporters who just gave it to me..And they still do....Wake Up you old Demon Bastard...C'mon F$%^k!!!!

Hate to break it to you, but all of this is wild optimism and far too many 'ifs'.

It all sounds nice, but ignores the fact that they have game breakers all over the park and we suck.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,012]

In all honesty I don't have that much of a problem with the Hawks. They play a really good style of football and their players work together really well. Obviously it sucks to have them thrash us, but we need to measure ourselves against sides like this to see how far we have yet to go.

They did ruin my perfect tipping round last week though. Going down to the Swans I ask you...

I am struggling to remember the last time we got near anyone!

[old dee 23,504]

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.

It is their home ground too RobbieF and if we look up the wins over the last ten years I think the Hawks are well ahead including a GF win.

15 goals win to the hawks

[DemonWA 3,888]

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.

i think i'd lay out some chash on the line bet so that i have something to cheer about!

[Tricky 341]

Would be nice if both Gibson and Hodge missed, which is a chance. Clarke could bag a few.

Hey Mac7, Clark has no "e".

Spread it around.

[old55 22,844]

maybe we can borrow Dermie's line in the sand

and make it a line in the snow

[binman 42,010]

By the by when scanning the thread titles quickly, a coupe of times i've read Friday night as Fright night. Bloody perceptive sub conscious!

[binman 42,010]

Hey Mac7, Clark has no "e".

Nor any other illicit drugs i hope

[Sir Why You Little 36,670]

Haha. Sharp one there...

[Demon Dynasty 17,094]

I'd love that to happen OD. Problem is, where are the enforcers?

Maybe we could bring Balls, Yeats, the Febey brothers, Keogh and Jakovich back for this one lol. Even throw Jacko in to line up on buddy lol

[P-man 13,366]

If it's under 10 goals I'll be shocked. We are amateur hour compared to the Hawks.

To another weekend of misery. Cheers!

you're a drongo for going with them - here's something you can give them back though: we knocked them out in 1990 which stopped their tilt at the hat trick...cold comfort I know but that's what I'm reduced to.

I had no choice PM...Workmates who locked me in a room...literally..

Before the first bounce of '88 they knew what was going to happen....and it still goes on!!!!

and make it a line in the snow

a yellow line?

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Rioli could potentially kick 15 on Friday night.

Just a little scared.

[PaulRB 6,297]

Colin "the Undertaker" Garland will wear Rioli like a gangly glove.
