Oh yeah Swans/giants/Adelaide/north playing a day later already. Id bet that game is Saturday too unless theres an announcement already.

Interested to hear what the Hawks fans think about this game. Do you guys consider it a danger game?

I think we match up better against the Hawks as opposed to Geelong. Hawks are without a key forward, will allow us to continue to play small and hopefully run and carry as we did against West Coast.

Will be a cracking game, can't wait to sit with 80,000 others at the MCG.

I'm tipping this match will be a more difficult one to win, than an away prelim v GWS.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Bring lube, hawks pissed off won't loose.

Bring lube, hawks pissed off won't loose.

Oh you'll be loose by the end, but you are wise bringing lube. The Eagles didn't.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Go Dogs

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Go Bulldogs!!

 

[Golden_6]

90% of neutral fans behind the Dogs I reckon. Going to be an absolutely amazing atmosphere for some of these kids to experience.

 

[Bokonon]

I look forward to watching the game, frankly I have some history with the Hawks and couldn't wish for them to lose. Also still hoping we can match up on them at the G this year.
Will be torn though, the Bulldogs midfield play is awesome to watch and woukd have to hope it works for them on the day.

 

[Captivating]

Time for the MRP to conveniently not see all of those incidents last night.

80%

The standard of last nights game was much better than the WC v Bullies. 2 battle hardened clubs just going toe to toe. The above comment that hawks will be angry is true.

Hawks by 37

Come. On. DAGS.

It's true. It still burns. I think we might need surgery to stitch a few things up.
End the fourthorn dogs, please, for the love of god please.

 

[FoochPackage]

Time for the hawks to hand the batton over. The reign is over

 

[BallaratBulldog]

We have not beaten the Hawks since 2009.

 

[Vindicater]

If the Dogs hunt the Hawks like they did the Eagles last week they will beat them.

The Hawks really did not like the contested stuff last night. (as a whole, some of their players loved it).

I fully expect Libba to get right in Hodges grill at some point next week.

 

[smasha]

Another cracker incoming.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Dogs to win then get smacked in a prelim.

 

[Skipper_]

Hawks up by eleventy at half-time. Brian Lake forgets he is not playing and runs onto the G despite realising the Auskickers are on the ground. Tries to take on all the little kids but gets pinged. The players from both teams run on and play a match against the kids. The little Auskickers destroy the AFL players by fifty goals and both clubs are replaced by the Auskickers. Everyone celebrates because no one has to see those disgusting pricks Luke Hodge and Sam Mitchell ever again.
Prediction: Brian Lake for president

Should be another great game IMO.

Depending on if Dogs can focus on the Hawks after that amazing win in the West.
