Nope. That isnt the game on this Saturday. It was two weeks ago.
I'm still deciding on what to wear tomorrow at the open training session..... 13/14 home guernsey, 2015 away guernsey or 2015 power ranger guernsey
.I love how they've told everyone to come on down and show off their brown and gold..................... too bad if everyone shows up in the 2015 NAVY BLUE Hawthorn MERCHANDISE!
No, it's good for us
What a a bizarre question.
What is good for us and why is it a bizarre question?

I was being sarcastic.
In no way could a recent arse kicking be good for us.
As in,of course it's not a good sign.
But as someone alluded to, both teams start at 0 each Saturday.
Il rephrase : what do you think?
From previous pages...
West Coast's record at Subiaco - 12 wins, 2 losses 1594/903 (174.3%)
West Coast's record away from Subiaco - 6 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses 932/788 (118%)
Hawthorn's record at the MCG and York Park -11 wins, 3 losses 1536/904 (169.11%)
Hawthorn's record away from MCG / York Park -7 wins, 4 losses 1216/868 (140%)
Hawthorn defeated West Coast in Perth 1 month prior to the QF. We are one of two (the other being Fremantle) to roll them at Subiaco
This game isn't being played at Subiaco though so it remains to be seen who will get the upper hand on our home ground
I think we're in for a real fight to go 3peat. A real fight. I think this West Coast team are better than the Sydney team we met in the final last year...

You're right. It's a more varied forward line and a better midfield.
Can't imagine that we'll lose our footing to such an extent as three weeks ago either. That's got to be to our advantage.
Football doesn't work like that
Most people would have said that Sydney 2014 was a better team than Freo 2013
I agree with you there. I does remain to be seen how West Coast play the expanse of the MCG away from home in a GF pressure cooker scenario. The team that have troubled us >> Richmond..were beaten on the MCG this year by the team we face Saturday.

I am very pleased to be sitting on the Northern side of the ground. Albeit up in the rafters.
Too close to call. West Coast deserve their place in the GF and have played a brilliant brand of footy during the year, often without key players. The pros and cons for each team (size of the G, etc.) are so minor they're insignificant. In all likelihood the difference will be mental. Whichever teams is more switched on will take the chocolates.
You must have missed the lead up to last years grand final. No team in history is better than that Sydney team

I am very pleased with party cloudy. Quite frankly I am expecting hail

And we just fell over the line against Port while Sydney went on a rampage against North

It was in the QF. We've played much better since then and it's likely still fresh in the players minds.
This group is far too experienced now to be scarred by losses like that. Instead they will have their egos bruised and that should ensure they will be switched on for this match no matter what is happening in the periphery (ie. media, betting, side stories, etc.).
A very close loss or a win of any margin may have left our guys feeling over-confident about our chances at the MCG. I can see reason for the guys being just the right amount of confident but I can't see how they could have any complacency going into this game.
So in a way that result could be the stimulus that gets us this flag on Saturday.

No, for melbournians 25 degrees is not hot and if you think it is you have been sadly misled.
Melbourne gets up into mid 40s making sri lanka's relatively mild 30 look like nothing. But melbourne is just coming out of a winter, and in that sense 28 degrees is relatively warm. This is afl not cricket, they don't just stand around waiting for the ball to arrive.
It is the most elite fitness ball-sport in the world. There is a reason why it's held in winter.
Granted Melbourne's heat is a dry heat, but claiming a place where 30 degrees is the norm is hotter than melbourne is simply misinformed.

This is a goood post and therefor it deserves some good karma.
I hopew the groundsman prepares the grass to be soft and comfortable for the eagles players when they are sitting on it watching the medal presentation. That would be really nice.
It was at the time. 2 subsequent wins has made it irrelevant. 0-0 at the start on Saturday, best side on the day wins.
