Game Day 2015 Grand Final - Hawthorn v West Coast, MCG 2.30pm

[Strapping Young Lad]

Gameday is here.

Chew your fingernails, throw your predictions around, chatter your nerves away.


It's game on people, and we've got a cup to win!

 

[Lithium]

Come on Hawks! All I ask is you win the threepeat. No pressure or anything...

Gameday is here.

It's game on, people!

I had a dream it was Sunday morning, I've hopped onto BigFooty and saw this

just under my avatar!!

 

[Jtree]

Today we dine on eagle! Go Hawks!

 

[Matt Stevic]

Can't sleep. I am so nervy. Go Hawks.

 

[MightyHawks]

Bring it on...

 

[Roger Rogerson]

[JordyLuke]

Really anxious, but that's not unusual for me with Footy.

Do it boys. Settle early, hit hard and do it.

 

[WWSD]

14 hours to go...

 

[Meteorite]

Go you mighty Hawks. You CAN do this. Belief begets confidence, and that begets success. Immortality beckons, boys.

 

[Lithium]

In the words of Bruce, we are 'the best team of the modern era', no matter the result tomorrow, that fact stands.

 

[Paul007]

I am nervous, I was pretty calm up until now, but game day is upon us, I am confident because we have been through it before which I reckon will give us a big edge. I will be watching on the couch with my kids, my son won't take a loss well and I am supposed to lead by example which is probably not going to happen so we can both kick something. Go Hawks!

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Pumped! No sleep tonight...

 

[Jaeger]

We've got nothing to prove and everything to gain. Go Hawks!

 

[Hawkk]

We've got nothing to prove and everything to gain. Go Hawks!

This

We win and we have 4 flags in no time at all, we lose and we 'only' have 3

Either way we have nothing to complain about

 

[Hong Kong Hawk]

There is a calm around the club. I like it

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

How am I meant to work with this on my mind?! This is a night game for me as I work 0000 - 1200 WA time... 13 long hours of work to go :S

 

[WWSD]

5 Grand Final appearances in 8 years. What an amazing job Clarkson has done. No matter what happens today we can look back at this era as a massive achievement for this footy club.

Come on boys. Bring home that 13th flag!

 

[Paul007]

Era is not over and this GF would seal it for us as the greatest, I really want it, we have done brilliantly but this opportunity won't come around too often, I want the threepeat, so close, only 4 qtrs of footy to win.

 

[Tuck In]

Firstly I want to thank all at the club and who have contributed to give us this great ride over the last 7 years and raised the club to the status of unquestionably the greatest of modern time.

I want us all remember this irrespective of the result because the majority of this team have gone to the well often and given a lot for our pleasure.

I want us to win for the players, the fans, the club, us all. I want respect we deserve because we still don't get it.

Hawks by 21.

Have a great day all. Speak on the other side!!!!

So hard to mentally prepare for this game. You could do a full psychological study of this forum the past week as everyone chooses their particular coping mechanism to try and deal with the stress of potentially being crowned the greatest team of all time.

I just hope that the coaching staff/playing group have struck the right pitch between focused intensity and 'relaxedness'. I fear we may have gone too far towards the latter for the sake of downplaying the three-peat talk.

If I was Clarko I would choose an appropriate time before the game to lift the controlled intensity of the group to fever pitch before heading out there. The stakes do need to be raised, and the players need to be fully prepared to PAY THE PRICE. It's going to be a veritable battlefield out there and the price of immortality is not cheap. They need to go harder for longer than they've EVER gone before if they want this. They don't have to think about the game plan - that's taken care of - they just need to play it contest-by-contest and willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING for each other. Individuals don't win premierships, teams do. The number of goals or possessions of individual players DOES NOT MATTER, only the two scores at the end of the day matters. You want to touch it, you make the decision.
