loges

With only 2 games this week you can't tell me this pelican is in the best 6 umpires in the league.

I was trying to point out generally the dangers of taking Hawthorn too easy, or thinking we will just roll over the top of them, wether you be supporter, member,player, administrator or whatever. ( I don't think the players get ahead of themselves). If people want to take offence at that, honestly too bad.

Haven't even read Jaded's post so I'm not responding to her.

I'll tell you what they're not saying at Hawthorn. - Lets get our plane and finals tickets for Perth. FFS this game still has to be played and won. Hawthorn are a very proud club, they will come out intent on atoning for last weeks defeat. They have a very crafty coach who will put a lot of time into negating the way we like to play. Last week we played the 8th ranked team in the finals, they played the 1st ranked team. They smashed us in round 4. If we don't show them the right amount of respect we will be in big trouble.

People have to stop thinking of the Garlett from over 12 months ago,

Need to combine it with the video.

How good is it to hear the commentators drooling over OUR top players. It's delicious. Did anyone else hear King say after the game that our back line has averaged the least points against over the past 9 games?

Maybe they should go on a camp?

Vandenberg s decision making has been terrible

Forward line has fallen apart they need to find something.

Unfortunately happens too much against Geelong

Shocking miss by Neale Bullen started the rot in my opinion.

So much better than them but so wasteful

I think you'll find for those of us who are overseas it means nothing more than the inconvenience of having to find somewhere to watch the game. Would much rather be at the ground.

Yes, lets hope most see this year as a positive, regardless of tonight's result. i am in New Zealand looking for a bar to watch the game , unfortunately starting time here is 9.50 and it also clashes with the NRL finals.

Tiger supporters just like West Coast, want a free kick every time there's a contest.

People forget, last year Hogan broke his collar bone, had a plate inserted, came back 3 weeks later and kicked, was it 5 or 6 goals. Message from the club was the plate makes the bone even stronger, just need the wound to settle down.

I think our best win for the year was beating West Coast in Perth, Hannan kicked 3 goals in that game, hard to see him being left out.

Cats are the ultimate front runners, don't like a tough battle, rely on momentum surges where they can all get their tails up.

No thats called winning your way in

How do they counter how we counter how they are originally going to counter us ?

Massive choke by Bruce

Spargo, for someone who was cooked, had several goal assists last game and now has had a week off. Won't be dropped

Hannan's last game kicked 3 goals against WC in Perth, be very surprised if he's not selected. In Viney Hannan, out Kent JKH.

Hibberd, Hannan, Viney and AVB didn't play against them last time, we're much stronger and they don't have the home advantage.
