I'm not sure if I'm the only one here who is concerned about this game following traveling to Perth on the weekend. Although we've been pretty good in our two games this year following our trips to Perth against Geelong and Richmond, in both of those games we got big starts then dropped away a bit in the last quarter. I know we're the best finishing team this year but Hawthorn are the second best, so I don't think we'll have any advantage over them. I have a feeling Hawthorn will get on top of us toward the end, it just depends if we're well enough placed to match them at that point.

Travel smhazzle.
The boys are fit, firing no excuse. Hawks could come out a bit flat from the legs up and we could get a jump

I realise we ended up failing in 2012, but the Hawks can get rattled in prelims. The advantage you have over us is we lack the sheer volume of clutch players you have at your disposal. Even if, say, Wingard goes quiet this game compared to his already great finals campaign you've got the likes of a Hartlett or Gray that can take over.
If it comes down to the final 5-10 minutes of the game I would tip Port to win it.
My concern if I were a Port supporter would be the Hawks doing what Fremantle couldn't do and thats taking their chances should they have a long period of dominance. I can't see the Hawks failing to take advantage of the amount of opportunities that Fremantle had.

Looks like he'll play. But too short for Roughead.

He has been out for so long then he will be dumped into a prelim...risky if they do it...
But we have white now....let em go head to head
I don't have any banner ideas

Word is that Rioli got through training today and looks likely to play. Simpkin would be the unlucky one. Don't think McEvoy comes in.

Personal opinion, and not a popular one, but I think that Cyril, although a good player, is overrated. The way some of the Vics talk about him is that he's the best small forward in the comp. He's a guy who'll get 15 touches, 1-2 goals a game. Great defensive pressure, but off the top of my head I can think of at least 5-6 better small forwards than him. Not to mention coming off a massive layoff, to have to adjust to the pace of a prelim, it's a big ask. All the more credit to him if he gets up and kicks a bag.
I am quietly confident about this week, as I was last week about beating Fremantle. I feel we can beat Hawthorn, will take a herculean effort, but I have that much faith in Kenny and these boys.The belief they will get from the Freo win, coupled with Hawthorn's past 2 preliminary finals wins, which were both close and hard fought, we have every chance.Yes their favorites,at full strength, will have Cyril back and are a great side but we are coming chock full of confidence with a gameplan and side that scares everyone.Also a quirk in our 2 finals so far we have beaten the deserters in Chaplin at Richmond, Pearce at Freo, now Shaun at Hawthorn awaits.Am excited already for the week ahead, and have a belief we will win.
I know every man and his dog is traveling over to Melbourne this weekend
But for those who have to stay in town, is the Club doing the same thing at Alberton this weekend - big screen etc ???

Cyril is a gun. The only thing that makes him over rated is the time he spends off the park injured. When at his best he is a phenomenal talent.

I don't buy the free hit crap cos we finished 5th. Sure, winning 2 finals is great, but hell, as good a team as you are doesn't mean you get guaranteed prelims year in year out, just ask freo. We're here, and we're not making up the numbers. We need to make the most of this!

The ideal schadenfreude scenario is:

PF - Burgoyne, pending
GF - Jacobs, ????
I'd say so.
Well, they bloody better.
Coz I probably won't go to Melbourne.
And I'll be stuffed if I watch a Port final on the couch again!
Never. Ever. Again.
god damn im nervous for this already!
Would hate to get done, as we have come so far! and to get so close would be heart breaking!!
Hawks with a weeks break plus players back is a huge HUGE ask!

Instead of the old 'too old, too slow' line heard in the past, is it a case of 'too young, too inexperienced' this time? I hope to hear this line about us sometime this week.
Or Sydney with Stewy Dew and Josh Francou as assistant coaches, 2 of my favorite players those 2.
Good luck this week. You have the support of every Geelong supporter. Nothing we all hate worse than the arrogant Hawks. And for those of you interested, a good piece in the local paper on Kenny Hinkley's motivational past. Here's the link.
