Best time to play Hawthorn is early in the finals series, its usually when they are not at their best. Their Best seems to happen on GF day when they look completely fresh and ready to go , whereas their opposition looks tired and sore after a tough finals series!! Not saying they have some magic formula, but I am perplexed how they manage to do it.Originally Posted by Jeynez
Great 2nd half job by the Bombers to keep Geelong from gaining too much %. Going to be tight as Adelaide and Geelong each have some % boosters ahead, whereas all three of our games are danger games, St Kilda are hot at the moment, North away in Tassie and Richmond our bogey team.
DOOMSAYER !!!!!Hehehehehe
Im sure they are more worried about us �.
AFL writer Ashley Browne has the Hawks finishing 5th and Sydney/GWS for the 1-2. That would be magic

Best for us is obviously top 2, with Hawthorn not being the other top 2.
Best for GWS would be 4th with Hawthorn 1st. Get an MCG final under their belts before its sudden death. Also a good chance to knock Hawthorn off.
I pray Hawthorn drops another game, but cant see it happening. I think they will take 1st. I dont think our % will be enough to snag 2nd. So its 3rd or 4th for us, which is fine as long as we win 1st final.

The next 3 weeks worry me too. I think we should beat all 3. But they are all teams that could win if we are off and they are on. I'm hoping North and Tigers are done for the year. Saints would have to have an exceptional day to get over us, you'd think.
ES is a very fast track where the Saints play their best. Vastly different surface than we normally play on. We will need to play our shut down best.
The last 2 weeks worried me.
That didn't turn out too bad.
I think Saints at Etihad is a MASSIVE danger game, then again I thought Port would be too. I wonder if the Swans will pick a team specific to that ground. Didn't Paul Roos say he wished he'd picked a bespoke Etihad team after Melbourne lost to the Saints there?
Yes, just looking at the numbers. We are 24W-17L-2D overall at Etihad, but 3W-6L-1D vs Saints. No other team has that margin over us there.
I certainly didn't expect to be in second position this week.
A few results went our way, but also a fine performance by the team.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
I had a dream Saturday night that the Hawks and GWS were in the grand final. There were bays of empty seats that were meant for the GWS members. The Hawks were playing badly but they were winning and I was lamenting that we didn't make it as we would've won.
Lucky my dreams don't come true ????.
