I don't share everyone's confidence

Yes they have outs but Hawthorn are still a great outfit, coached well and have experience across the board.

We should win, but I fear we may run into a team desperate to respond who rarely lose two in a row.

Hawks by 25. Would love to be wrong

 

Forecast for the rest of Friday

    I have planned this well as I have a full knee replacement on Monday. If the Pies(puke) had won I would have left the hospital and straight to the G for the prelim but happy to watch the match from Perth on TV now.  Allow yourself plenty of time to get there and walk slowly.

    I feel a  bit more nervous today than last friday. Im expecting Clarko to have his hawks up and going. This week has been virtually all baout us. We all know how good of a coach Clarko is. There has been a reason why that team has been the best team over the past 10 years. 

    It would be great if we could get off to an awesome start like we did last friday night. 

    Come on boys get the job done and lets keep this dream going

    Hearing Hardwick to be a late out!!! 

    Edit: reported on SEN so no inside word

    Put $50 on a Hawthorn win and you can watch the game knowing either outcome will make you feel slightly happy.

    Think we can do it. Go Dees

     

    Why would you do that? $50 down the drain. Have faith you could have made money tonight my friend.

    We are primed.  No changes and confidence is sky high.   Hawks will need to do a lot of reshuffling with O Meara and Stratton out.

    We should belt them if we bring the same manic pressure as last week.

    ...and kick straight.

    Just need to bring last weeks intensity and take our chances better and will be fine. Dees by 28.

    Stay with m til half time then belt them in the second half. Losing this would be devastating. It will be harder for the boys this week than last week.

    I reckon the dream for 2018 ends tonight. We are good enough on our day, but you cant expect kids to keep getting up every week. 

    Hope to be wrong though.

    We would beat the Eagles again if we could make it past the Hawks.

    Go Dees.

    LOL.  I was reading the paper today and Ladbrokes are  saying all the money is coming in on Hawthorn which I found interesting....  I didn't realise it was from Dees supporters!

    Viney's second game back in round ten 35 possessions. Just saying. Against the team that was fourth on the ladder at the time.

    You might want to recheck that history. Before this year sure but we have won most games as Fav this year. Including the last two against top eight sides.

    Perfect weather for a night at the G!

    And no rain means we'll see all our goals with no obstruction whatsoever.

    Great way of putting it. We haven't really been in this position in a long time. We've been a little better at dealing with it in the last few weeks, and we'll continue to get better.

    Blake Hardwick "may" be a late out for the Hawks tonight. - Tim Watson SEN

    Is he the player that commentators refer to as a ‘tough nut’ purely because he has a mullet?

    I think adrenaline will be fueling some of the boys who might be getting tired. They just need to win 3 more games this year, that's doable - and it's only two weeks away!

    We've got tonight, Dees by 4 goals. Not a blowout. Just another strong performance where we take our chances.

    The boys know what to do. Confident of a reasonably comfortable victory.

    That's him! Instant tough nut, just add mullet.

    No worries, we were favourites last week too.

    This is a new Melbourne.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
