Yep, and we still have premiership players, and players who played in a GF, three years ago, so what.Dogs fans forgetting they got smacked by a BOG average Crows side just over a fortnight ago on a ground very similar to MCG dimensions.
The games not at marvel in front of 23k dogs fans.
Hawthorn been playing in front of massive crowds all year.
Can the dogs keep up with the young Hawks?
Can the Hawks handle the big Dogs forwards?
Yep and we won’t lose Libba to concussion from a kick in the head from a Hawks player, who never got penalised. Nice that Jones is playing, a bit of karma there.Hard to get a read on how this one will play out. Hawthorn, with the exception of Chol and Breust will be unchanged from the two teams previous encounter. Assuming Day gets up. The dogs however will be a vastly different outfit with six changes, assuming they keep the same line up that beat GWS last week.
People who seem confident that the winner wins the whole thing are underestimating the difference in advantage between finishing 4th and 5th.
There's a good reason that only once this century a team has won from outside the 4 and that with the bookies, the Dogs and Hawks are 6th and 7th favourite respectively.
Pound for pound I think the bottom 4 of the 8 are as good as the Top 4 but you have to play 4 weeks in a row and likely a couple at least on enemy territory.
Not to be a pessimist but it will probably be a great game but the winner goes out next week to Port/Cats.
In saying that, go Hawks!

It's not going to sell out during the members allocationA bit unrelated here but I’m travelling from Tassie for the game and have already booked flights and accommodation, I have a bulldogs membership barcode to access member tickets tomorrow but now I’m freaking out I won’t get any, should I be okay if I’m onto it quick enough? Or is it likely to sell out super quick? Any advice is appreciated
Lets go with a ear piercing scream of rapture...i let u have your wayI think this will be a blowout I’m just not sure which way
We'll win this in a canter.
Dogs by 6 goals without getting out of 2nd gear.
We are not playing at Launceston.If hawks let them get out of first gear..like last few meetings
Yes and u dare to dream...what was I saying...? crumbling into ineptitudeWe are not playing at Launceston.
I'm sure the AFL probably toyed with the idea of playing this match at 4:40pm on a Sunday....Friday night confirmed @ 7:40pm.
First Friday night game for the Hawks since 2022. I think only our second night game this year.
We are finally on prime time.
Gather round you Vic plebs..getting wicked...I'm sure the AFL probably toyed with the idea of playing this match at 4:40pm on a Sunday....

Libba got hit in the head by an errant boot with Hawks up by 12 points with 3 minutes left in the game. Admittedly he did have a clash of heads in the first few minutes, where he should have sat out for the game under the concussion protocols.Yep and we won’t lose Libba to concussion from a kick in the head from a Hawks player, who never got penalised.

Libba got hit in the head by an errant boot with Hawks up by 12 points with 3 minutes left in the game. This time we’ll have Sicily playing with two arms and a Watson who won’t be missing goals from 5 metres out.
Interesting to note that post bye, the Bulldogs are 4-1 against the top 8 while the Hawks are 1-2. Belted up an injury hit Carlton, belted by the Cats and a narrow loss to the Giants, while we beat 3 of the top 4 which included belting the Swans away, belting the Cats away and running it out comfortably against the Giants in Ballarat. Only blip was the Port heavy loss.
What good will Lobb be against our small, quick fwds? It’ll be like Frankenstein chasing a bunch of chipmunks!On the other hand you'll have Will Day with one arm at best while the Dogs will have Lobb in defence and Richards in the midfield which has completely transformed their entire game style over the last 8 weeks.
Plus Watson is still liable to miss from the goal square.
Can’t argue with a North supporter as you have seen both teams firsthand over the last two weeks. I haven’t watched the dogs since we beat them earlier in the year when we were playing average football.On the other hand you'll have Will Day with one arm at best while the Dogs will have Lobb in defence and Richards in the midfield which has completely transformed their entire game style over the last 8 weeks.
