This is the impact Paul Roos has had on the game. When he came to Melbourne it was all about deficit minimisation. Mitchell is very good at it. And if they steal a win then great. Otherwise it's follow the process, forget the scoreboard. Hawks playing with pride. But this should be at least a 10 goal win. Anything less than 60 points is a win for Hawthorn's development. That's how they see it. Hawks have huge Melbourne 2014-2015 vibes about them atm. -

It had good vibes in the late 80s and early 90s. Finals there had a different feel than the MCG. But once the Southern Stand was rebuilt, Waverley seemed to age at lightning speed. Just wasn't up to speed. But you could tell that it was built "for footy". Some good memories there too. I was too young to remember the late 80s much but fondly remember the 94 win against the Pies by 5 points. A Collingwood goal was disallowed just as the halftime siren went. Pies fans were livid at the end of the game. And of course there's Farmer's goal in 98 vs Hawthorn. Always fondly remember Jakovich's performance against Hawthorn there in 94. Absolutely dominated but ended up with 4 goals 10 behinds. Quintessential Jakovich performance lol

Feel like we're due for a shock loss against a bottom team. Hawthorn always seems to come to play against us. Teams like Carlton underperform. Hawthorn always performs exactly as you'd expect. They're getting Bruest back and their midfield is doing okay. Should be at least a 7-8 goal win.

That is the most early 2000s thing I've seen in some time.

They're okay. What's annoying is that teams fall into their traps soooopp easilyyyyy. Our second game against them being a prime example. They have 2-3 floaters in space across their defensive 50. They then go forward to an empty forward line with space. Sydney tried today to put their backline under pressure with quick and fast movement. Brisbane put the foot to the throat. Collingwood is very good at sucking teams into kicking it straight down their throats. They love the corridor and basically don't have to contend with backlines because their forwards essentially play as utilities. It's like the triangle offense but for footy. I am really looking forward to playing them.

I have never wanted to play a team more than Collingwood. I wish we were playing them this week. This need a good old fashioned belting.

I had a scarf from 92 that I wore for close to 20 years until 2009 when it was lost in a move, likely thrown out erroneously. I've been wearing my 2010 scarf since. IMO it's the best of the "membership" scarves. Simple design, thick, and long.

The only way to beat both Melbourne and Collingwood is to just bury them from the first bounce. Close contests and they're just too good with too much polish. Surely if both teams are 1st and 2nd come King's Birthday we get 90k+?
