Can we beat North next week?

[Hawk Dork]

Without a second ruckman we have very little chance.

Unless Clarko can come up with a clever once off ruck neutralization plan.

Unfortunately i agree
I am haveing 1987 GF flashbacks

although different roles I would play Moss ahead of both of those kids..

I wouldn't. Regardless of role, Shoey and Whitey must stay in.

Mossman will still get a few games with our ravaged list.

 

[GoBuddy]

If Campbell doesnt come up we should play all 3 Thorp, Dowler, Boyle so we can at least change it up!

Gilham will pick up Hale that way we may be able to drag Petrie to the backline. We can also use Thorp or Dowler in the ruck!

My worry are the 2 quick forwards they have, they absolutely killed us last time we played. The zone does not work with North Melbourne so hopefully we play man on man! I remember they were too quite for Guerra we are going to have some issues in the backline!!

We can win...if we only kick goals.

Hawthorn have inexplicably been made favorite for this match with the bookies - 1.50 to NM 2.50

North Melbourne is apparently $11.00 for 39.5+.

I shall be making an investment.

I shall be making an investment.

Win-Win!

Geeez. That is amazing odds.

 

[Coathanger]

Can we? Yes!
Will we? Probably not.

to hawks time time thank you for making your stupid speech because who doesnt know we have to kick goals to win

just checken on the hawthorn website and it said bateman is okay and gillamand maybe guerra will play on sunday

 

[Leather Poisoning]

In hawks vs north games the one who is expected to win tends to lose.

I expect us to win but most expect us to lose.

Either way, you know I'm right.

Thankyou for being the only one with enough nous to see my 'joke' post as what it really is, a speech of Patton-esque qualities. I hope it rallies the Hawthorn Football Club to only kick goals and no behinds on Sunday.
And Guerra isn't injured so why wouldn't he play..

 

[franjon]

Must win this week or the eight will start looking doubtful.

Why? We lost our first 3 in 2007 and ended up making the preliminary final.

Lost our first 3 in '99 and won the flag.

Good point. I remember this. You guys bounced back in round 4.

I think it will be a close game. As close as within a goal going hawthorn's way.
