Preview 2015 Grand Final: Hawthorn v West Coast Eagles - Gunston IN, Hartung OUT

[mikeder]

Can't stop laughing at that one!

 

[mikeder]

Am I wrong in saying it was around 30 degrees on GF day in 2008?

Yep.

 

[Lethality]

30 degrees AND windy, not great conditions for us.

 

[Samurai Hawk]

Wearing white shorts though

Thats great for us..doesn't white reflect the heat..as against darker color(ed) shorts..might save us 2 degrees and quell the heatwave doomsday theories ..

It's been so long since 2006, I'd forgotten what this week felt like!

Do you guys still get nerves or is it something you're used to? You have an amazing team and I'm looking forward to the chance of trying to knock off the champs on the biggest stage tomorrow.

Good luck, but not too much!

Distracted myself with work all week but since I knocked off yesterday the nerves are rapidly building. Will have insanely restless legs come the bounce tomorrow.

My biggest fear is that I won't be able to sleep a wink tonight, then I'll fall asleep in the morning and miss the game.

Are you guys going to tag Shuey? Or not going to bother with any run withs?

 

[mikeder]

Yep.

Sorry buddy, I meant to say no you aren't wrong, it was very warm that day.

 

[Lethality]

How would we know?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

How would we know?

Isn't half the fun of any lead up the speculation about match ups and what not?

 

[mikeder]

Everyone is talking about losing run and speed by dropping Hartung, but I would like to remind everyone of the speed we have in the team. Smith, Hill, Poppy is quick, Rioli is quick, Bruest is quick, Duryea is quick. We have our share of quick players. We have chosen the best 22 to win this premiership. Shoenmakers has proven himself the last 2 weeks and Gunston is our leading Goal kicker.

I like to wish our boys all the best and bring home the Cup.

CARN THE HAWKS.

I have to say it OooooooooooooooooH YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeH !!!!!

Me too! I guess my post was in reference to what I just read on the AFL website.

We are standing at the door way of football immortality tonight ........make no mistake !!!
The AFL will never let this happen again and don't want this .
18 hrs away and shit feels like it's just getting real .....!!
Champions from the past ... Mathews , Scott , Platton , Langford and Crawford will all look on with pride tomorrow , reflecting on how close we came to becoming extinct and wondering how the hell we got to here !!
The true meaning of the phoenix rising from the ash's !!
The rest of the comp don't want this , and i don't blame them cos if i sat on the other side of the fence id feel the same way .
So its......... US V THE REST
Remember how you felt when watching the game in WA 3 weeks ago , listening to the way their crowd treated our boys .
