I’ve had a casual read of a few Hawthorn forums. Safe to say I am already sick of their arrogance and supreme overconfidence.

Little bit off topic, but does anyone know which end the cheer squad/bulk of our supporters will be at? From memory our last home final at the MCG it was the Ponsford end? Would prefer to sit with our own rather than hawks casuals that will be watching their first game since 2015
Interesting! Would never have guessed thatVery sure cheer squads will sit nearest their suburb. Punt for Hawthorn Ponsford for Footscray.
The reason it never happened again is because the AFL changed the rules so that it can’t. That’s an admission it was wrong if ever there was one.The most disgraceful thing to ever happen in the history of suspensions.Was unprecedented and has never happened again.

Not sure about our head to head in finals with this mob. I have a feeling it might be close?
Yeah that was always full of shit. David King was the one commentator who called it correctly and he was at the ground. Kingy said he wasn’t even sure if his head hit the ground or if it did then it was glancing rather than slamming. He said correctly that on one of the video angles it showed his shoulder hitting the ground and his head barely touching, then as others said, he jumped straight up, didn’t even touch his head with his hand or shake it off or anything. Just lined up and kicked the goal and celebrated. Not called off for a HIA, how could the AFL possibly win a case that it was anything other than low impact.Some were saying Cadman's head was "slammed into the turf with force"
Tim just needs to break even, give a strong contest and then beat him around the ground. If he can break even or not get absolutely slaughtered in the ruck contest then our mids can get on top and try and win the clearance battle. If we lose the clearances it will be much harder but our defence has improved immeasurably since we last played them also so I back our defenders to turn it over as well, best in the comp at that part of the game since the Rock Lobster has gone back!English vs Meek is a battle that will go someway to determining the result.
No surprise that he’d be sent for scans. It happens quite often.Just heard from fellow dogs fans that Treloar's calf is having scans. True or Bullshit? I feel like the media would have jumped onto this story more if it's was.
If you watch the video though it’s clear the difference, Higgins head clearly slammed into the ground as he face planted, then was clearly dazed and stayed down afterwards for a bit, whereas Cadman on the replay showed his head didn’t hit that hard because his shoulder luckily took most of the impact and he was totally unfazed by it. One looked a lot worse than it was and luckily that was Jones tackleJones gets off, Owies gets a week.
Riots are coming

Hopefully it'll be Meek vs not as meek as he can be.English vs Meek is a battle that will go someway to determining the result.
He had soreness in his calf post game, I think that was mentioned somewhere.Just heard from fellow dogs fans that Treloar's calf is having scans. True or Bullshit? I feel like the media would have jumped onto this story more if it's was.
Unfortunately not really, they're up 4-1 (pretty sure).Not sure about our head to head in finals with this mob. I have a feeling it might be close?
The team that can apply the most pressure for the longest will win. Our game plan has changed radically since we last played Hawthorn, so it's hard to say what will happen.I think both supporter bases are too confident here.
I think it will come down who can move it quicker through the midfielder and get more 1 on 1s fwd.
Your talls up fwd
Vs
Our smalls up fwd
Agree that Newcombe is the danger, also Will Day if he plays. He has killed us also the last couple of times we have played them. Meek also a worry if English is not mentally and physically prepared for that matchup, then Dylan Moore and their small forwards will be a difficult matchup, we should not underestimate them at all, they are also playing much better than when we played them last time.Newcombe always kills at but having a look at previous games, Libba hasn't played against them the last three times.
Think he will do a job on him, not tagging but making sure he doesn't dominate.
