great, we get a chance to to be even further damaged goods the week before the gws game

we will get beaten by gws despite their obvious tanking and our incompetence will leave us open to claims of tanking by the media and all and sundry

i can hear it now - the petracca cup

[Wormburner 674]

I'm scared for this match.

A flogging will obviously affect our percentage and put us closer to last position.

[What 18,810]

Our percentage might drop under 70 after this game

[Demon Disciple 11,218]

This is going to get ugly, very ugly

[Moneider96 1,045]

i wouldn't say 'very ugly'..maybe 60 points and that will be because the majority of our players will be camping in our defensive 50 for the entirety of the game. It's reasonable to infer tho that this game is going to be boring as [censored]..like Queens birthday.

Stack the backline

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,679]

I hate playing hawthorn

[Sir Why You Little 35,363]

Those arrogant laughing supporters will feast again.

I HATE THEM.

[Pennant St Dee 11,920]

Those arrogant laughing supporters will feast again.

I HATE THEM.

Agree hate them and Essendon because of the arrogant supporters I put up with as a kid in the 80's. 87 prelim put fuel to the fire, 00 GF & 04 Elimination Final more fuel and James Hird.

Lost my oldest 4 seasons ago to the Pies

Now the youngest has taken a vested interest in the Mustard Pots

God help us

My step brother/mum both are mad Hawks supporters, always giving my dad and I [censored] for being "sad old Melbourne supporters", nothing will be better to take it right up them and give them a fright

The MRP has given us our answer as to how to beat Hawthorn: spoil every ball by cracking their heads open. Sure we'll concede a few frees, but before long there will only be 18 players on the field.
