The point isn't that the weight has gone. It's that it was never accurate, or up to date past what clubs wanted to advertise.

If it was all Johnny on the spot and up to date maybe it's useful for fans.

But it never was.

Listed heights are about the same. Not really worth the paper they're printed on, past it being a guide.

Schoey used to look like he was about to step on stage at Mr Olympia and still listed as a 78kg twerp.

Everyone in the media pissing all over Port's chances because of their outs is only stoking the flames of resistance over there. It's pretty shit to come up against a team playing to stay in the finals, playing to keep their coach employed, and playing for respect.

To top it off we've had people questioning Butters' courage.

It's a bit of a crap shoot.

Hawks by plenty we're steeled for it though.

 

[RX Hawk]

No Houston, Farrell, or Burton.
Butters will be restricted, whilst JHF and Aliir are also sore.
Port playing 4 tall forwards.

We really shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, but Port are ripe for the picking here.

We will win this comfortably.

If we play to the level we have been our strengths hurt Port. Their game style struggles to combat our run, exacerbated by losing three prime movers from half-back.

I'm just nervous we'll drink the bathwater and they'll come out firing.

 

[Ka Norkers]

Burton is a good user and this is a big loss for them

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

JHF is going to play like a man possessed. Hard tag that POS

 

[Bugs1977]

They believe the Frost loss is our Achilles heel.

Land of the Giants it is.

To be fair it's their only shot

 

[Mr Lizard]

here we go now! never been to Adelaide Oval before, hopefully bringing back some good memories.

go well Hawks, do us proud

They are a not a group that has coped well with pressure over many years. I’m happy for the media pressure to ramp up on them though ultimately think little turns on it.

Reckon we will win this one

 

[Newmo89]

3pm today at the Adelaide Oval for the Barra's Yarma, for any of you in town already.

Haven’t read the whole thread but my thoughts are

1. Port will come out firing there is a reason why - most teams who lose a QF still end up making the PF - they finished second for a reason

2. That said I think we are favourites - as important as Will Day is for us I stand by my comment - we are system based mid-field. Port is a much more name based team - and they have a couple of really really big outs

I hope we win - it would be amazing to steal a premiership this year; I’ve gone from this is a huge developmental year and everything is gravy to there has been a lot of false dawns over the years and future growth no matter how amazing the potential is not always guaranteed - so we have to make hay whilst the sun is shining

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Sounds like he'll be ready for Geelong in the GF.

Can't wait

2008 all over again....

 

[MadDawg]

To be fair it's their only shot

Still, it is fun seeing the Hoks being total Honey Badgers about selection and the game while Port is already being reactionary to us.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

He smashed it, just ask him

I wonder if he has read a book yet?

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Calsher Dear and Nick Watson will fuse into a 6’5 athletic freak of nature and kick 20 goals

ok, so that's Calsher...but what will Nick do?

I don't completely disagree with you, but I don't remember a Hawthorn team traveling interstate for a final being this red hot a favorite to win.

They finished second, and smashed Sydney by a bunch a month or so ago. They're also been given an Apollo Mission sized rocket up their keister for a full week now by every news outlet and footy fan with internet access.

None of this makes us a less talented team, and we still should win I definitely agree though.

Smart man is Jarman Impey.

Finals are a different game, and the season resets itself every week until the last game in September has been won.

 

[Bugs1977]

I did hear we're looking for a reserve orange peeler

 

[TylerDurden]

What a legend Kane is. He's almost brown and gold now!

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

What a legend Kane is. He's almost brown and gold now!

When we win the flag, he'll be our #1 ticketholder

 

[StackedHunch]

When we win the flag, he'll be our #1 ticketholder

Could you imagine the love he'd get if he turned up to a hypothetical post premiership family day at Glenferrie?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Could you imagine the love he'd get if he turned up to a hypothetical post premiership family day at Glenferrie?

Going from the "first" and only person on us to lead us to a flag within 18 months. His head would explode
