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

[Isosceles]

Been up since 5. Pumped! Snagged a ticket yesterday so heading into the city now for breakfastabd coffee. Gonna read the papers back to front and get to the G around 12. Expecting a big first quarter from the boys. Put them to the sword early!

 

[Pessimistic]

BTW, we have a very strong north wind here already, at 8.45am. 25 degrees with winds 31km/h now, expecting 37 km/h gusty winds later. Not good weather. (We will get 32 temp today with 36 on Monday)
Why don't they play a GF at night, much better conditions, 30 degrees is not football weather. IMO. Would be a great night to go to the footy.

First 30 in 30 years. Been freezing in melbourne till this week so hardly global warming

Maybe a night melbourne cup too ?

Its too radical for clarko

Played with 3 rucks against them at Subi a couple years ago in the heat and we won by 50

 

[Todman]

Woke up this morning feeling optimistic for the first time all week.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

I am granting wishes to the Players at Hawthorn Football Club. Good wishes to you all, and may you win.:

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Just couldn't wait could you Abasi. All season I've been doing the game day threads and here you are usurping my role! I'm pinning the blame on you should Hawthorn fail to salute.

Feeling nervous about the conditions. It's already quite warm and very gusty. Reminiscent of 2012 and 1987.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Went premature last night. Woke up feeling a bit average. A bloody mary and guys shoulf be arriving in 2 hours for the bbq. As horrific as it sounds in hosting a party with the ratio of 2 hawks supporters and 5 "eagles" fans. Ive asked them not to rail lines of stilnox at least before everyones eaten. Good luck boys! Hawks by 26

 

[Stranglers]

Eek.

 

[macdaddio]

8 hrs sleep. Slept like a baby.

No nerves. I've realised I can't worry about things I can't control.

I can control having a beverage or 2 today.

Can't remember last time I had 8 hours sleep

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Just having a think about the 2 teams.

We shit on them on every line.

If Hawks are on early this could be another 10 goal drubbing

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

smash the e-gurls then watch the geelong melts. this guy will have a massive game

This might be one for the omens thread but we needed someone to step up early and get things off to a good start.

Weather station says it's already 29 degrees in the eastern suburbs!

 

[WillowSF]

Bring our 'A' game and we win regardless of what the Eagles produce. Grab this opportunity boys. Go Hawks!

Reminiscent of 2012 and 1987.

2012 was cold!

Hopefully that will mean it drops away as quickly as it came

Or is that wishful thinking

2012 was cold!

2012 was bizzare - on the side of the ground I was on it was friggin freezing and yet on the other side my friend got sun burn

There was a tiny amount of drizzle at half time and it was a bit cold. You can get sunburn when it's cloudy though. Even fog or mist only stop UV rays a little bit.

In all honesty, who knows who will win, or lose. We could win by 30 pts, or lose by 30 pts
I am so 50/50, one minute I think we will win by a few pts, and then I think we will lose by a few pts, or we are flogged. I would love to see the Weagles flogged, but I doubt very much that will happen. We have played and travelled the past month, whereas the Weagles haven't left home, I am surprised they found their way to Melbourne

I see he's shaved down for it

Wise choice I should think

 

[westaussie76]

Gonna be a long 12 months in this town if Wet Toast win, please Hawks for my sanity get the job done!

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Bring our 'A' game and we win regardless of what the Eagles produce. Grab this opportunity boys. Go Hawks!

IF we win today, I will die a happy person. I am sure my hubby up above will ensure we will win this. God Bless you sweetheart. If I don't see another win in a GF, will not concern me as much next year, or in years to come. At least I have been blessed to see a great team rise from the ashes. How lucky we are to see 3 cups in 6 years, and hopefully it will be 3 b2b Cups, in 7 yrs. So proud of our club, win or lose, I will always stand by them.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

I hope everyone bar Hawks supporters start turning the TV off in the 2nd quarter.

Remember how 'boring' last years GF was
