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

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
