AFL Finals 2015: West Coast v Hawthorn, Domain Stadium, Fri, 6.20pm (WA) 8.20pm (AEST)

[bungwahl]

Bit of a shame about the weather this weekend, but should still be an absolute cracker tonight. Looking at the outs I'd have to tip the Hawks, but I'd love to see the Eagles get home.

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Disagree. Still highly likely this is the GF match up. Resting is overrated - swans and dockers are a fair way behind these two.

Disagree. Grounds going to be heavy. Good chance the team that loses, loses next week

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Geee I'm already and ping some nervous poos

Drunk already?

 

[Altum Volantes]

Priddis out being reported. Hopefully not true, our injury curse will not let up. Hasn't missed a game in about 12 years or something.

It's Hagdorn. Priddis needs surgery, season over.

Load up on the Hawks, without Priddis we have no way of getting the ball out of the middle. fml

I think we'll be fine if we lose. Not like we have to travel home or anything.

If West Coast losses its plausible that they will have 3 games in Perth leading up to the GF

This is a much bigger game for Hawthorn who, with an aging squad, would need to travel back to Melbourne and back to Perth just to make it to the GF

Nic Nat to do it all himself?

Its all West Coast posters have been saying all week?

 

[Hawkk]

Hawthorn are shit in the wet. Slows them down even more, and it's much harder to kick in the wet.

Hawthorn is 4-1 in the wet this season (including the Eagles in round 19), our only lose was against Port Adelaide in round 5 (by 8 points)

Heavy conditions should suit our swarming forward line...

 

[Grave Danger]

Did Haggardorn still tip the Eagles?

My god, traveling across the country EVERY SECOND WEEK?!

 

[bungwahl]

Equalisation?

 

[Hawkk]

My god, traveling across the country EVERY SECOND WEEK?!

Most of the Hawthorn stars (think Hodge, Mitchell, Burgoyne, Lake, Gibson) would have long retired if they played for the WA based teams

Its a reality of carrying older players.

For West Coast even if they lose tonight they will probably have 3 games at home leading up to the GF. A dream scenario for WA football

 

[TyHawk]

For a side that's finished second on the ladder, I don't think missing one player is going to be all that much of a difference. Game still up for grabs.

You don't think the reigning Brownlow Medalist, their #1 stoppage player is going to make a difference?

Its akin to us missing Sam Mitchell (touch wood)

Its a huge blow, not irretrievable but nonetheless a blow if true

 

[Adz]

Straight set weagles.

 

[Dacksaredown]

West Coast hasn't shown that they have the potential to beat Hawks all year, why would this change today? Especially obvious since it looks like Hawthorn have been twiddling their thumbs waiting for a decent team to challenge them since pumping Sydney in round 16.

Straight set weagles.

Pies for top 4

Wait wut

You didnt watch the West Coast v Hawthorn game in Perth a few weeks ago? Was an incredibly high standard game given the conditions

Same conditions. Same ground. Same teams. What's gonna make the difference? Naitanui?
Hawks will be quietly confident.

Straight set weagles.

Everyone is out in straight sets according to you.

He makes a massive difference.

If Priddis is out that is a big blow though.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Looks like the Hawks will be gifted another victory with injuries to key players who play their opponents. That's how they beat the Eagles the last time.

Softest dynasty ever.
