Game Day 2nd Preliminary Final - Hawthorn v Port Power, 4.45pm

[Argy]

I'll head on down to the station in a half hour or so. Not sure what to think about the game. Getting nervous. Just want it to be over and Hawks to have a win.

Clarkson said Spangher will go back and forward with Trengove

He played a similar role about a month ago - Harry Taylor in the H&A game against Geelong, perhaps? Did it very well.

What does that make him? Key Position Tagger? Defensive CHF? Let's keep it simple or the Commentators will explode...

Yep, KPT. New role. Clarkson invented football.

LP ... are you talking about tequila & the worm?

Pressure early & its ours.

They play Home & Away Football & don't have a Finals cog to slip into. All year we conserved by corralling (had to due to injuries & suspensions) but we're now in Finals & our Physical Game will dominate.

8-goal lead half way through the last then the fittest team on Earth will strike with 3 'courageous goals'* to bring it back to a 5-goal win.



*They never give up, don't forget

Absolutely. Brad Hill decides to get agro in finals and it's awesome. We do raise the physical side of things hugely in finals (most good clubs do I spose).

 

[Wundo]

Thank God it's gameday. Sickening over here in SA with all the 'yes we ken', 'never tear us apart', 'SS Victory' and 'we will never give up'!

If the unthinkable happens I suggest you hibernate until Summer.

 

[threesixpio]

They don't call them Port Drugadelaide for nothing. Just a pit stop.

Maybe they've jumped ship.

 

[Agent Smith]

Time to face destiny. Time to take on all comers. There's no turning back, no 'beg your pardons'. In the end...

 

[B0SK]

Don't care if it is a final, all I want is 4 points and no injuries.

That post seemed so much cooler in my head. Dammit!

 

[filly]

Really want to see a strong start from us,take some of their confidence away early.

 

[Wundo]

A win is a win, but I don't think my non-footy following housemates will appreciate it being that close. Make of that what you will.

How can they object when they're bound and gagged in a different room?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Watching the game from home tonight as a dentist bill and the possibility of grand final tickets tomorrow has taken the budget this week. Will be watching nervously from home. I really love September - but my stress levels certainly take a battering. Nothing against Port - but I'd really love this one to be over by half time.

Any late changes?
In the Hun it said Suckling was limping at training

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Pls win

 

[Manila_Hawk]

Said it before and will say it again.....

Last week's Port vs Freo game just seemed to oscillate between half-forward and half-back.

To beat Port we just need to be better at:
a. Running the ball out of defense, and,
b. Not bombing the ball long into F50 contests (keep possession and kick to advantage)

Strangely, I think that if we win this one, then we can beat Sydney.

Fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed.

He wasn't limping, but rather was asked to kick on his right foot and looked like a newborn foal.

Man enough to admit that I have butterflies in the stomach right now. I'm not usually one to wish that time would pass by quickly, but I wish it is 4:45pm already.

 

[macdaddio]

Nerves are starting to kick in!!!
We can't have Buddy leave us for the millionaires and win a flag and we miss out.
We need to prove we don't need him to win flags and shove it up his ASS!!!

I wish it was 8.30pm already and enjoying the day night after a good win..

Gotta get the worm.

 

[Packedlunch]

C'mon Hawks. Tear em apart!

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Unfortunately I am stuck out on site for this game. Will most likely miss the first half, hopefully be able to find a tv with channel 7 on it for the second half.

Such a strange feeling being away from Melbourne during finals footy

C'mon Hawks

 

[Pessimistic]

Can you imagine the wait for a twilight granny ?

 

[Jtree]

Carn Hawkies!! Smash Port today and prepare to serve up some justice to the COLA's next week!
