Game Day Dogs on a Mission V Hawks Elimination Final MCG 7.40pm 6/9/24

[Mr. Walker]

We win.
Why ?
We have the Bont. They don’t.

 

[Mr. Walker]

Both clubs wearing their traditional jumpers, with Dogs in blue shorts and Hawks in white

For us that’s the strip I prefer.
Don’t like the Hawks wearing white but can’t see a way around it.
Anyway enough of the serious stuff. Go Dogs

When do we know ADZ is starter. I think the cats tried to keep Stewart's a secret for longer but it got out a few hours earlier.

Team sheets are submitted one hour prior to the game

Like many I was worried that the game was passing Jack Macrae by earlier in the year, but reckon he's been super solid of late.

His finals record is outstanding (2021 Gary Ayres medallist) and just stands up when the game is hot

Really hope he is a starter onfield.

Looking forward to Sam Mitchell entering our rooms after the match to congratulate Bevo and embrace him ala Clarko in 2016.

I'm about 4 hours from Melbourne in Coleraine , Western Vic, and the rain is heavy and constant. Looks like some of it will get to Melbourne mid - late arvo from the radar map

So far looks like most of the heavy rain will miss Melb to the south

As you say, so far. The current lot of rain is definitely missing Melbourne.

Let's hope that continues

Railway Hotel in Yarraville is a great pub and a Bulldog pub.

Have seen some of the boys and coaches have dinner there from time to time. Ryan Gardner even use to pour pints there before he was drafted mid-season.

Agree with the Railway in Yarraville, also the Mona Castle in Seddon. Great dogs vibes

 

[seaweed]

Have the day off work so I drove down to Yarraville so I could get the train in to the city. Wearing the robo dog guernsey and the amount of “go Doggies!” comments I’ve got already has really made me smile. The first final I’ve ever attended and while I obviously want us to win, I’m just so happy to be going and it should be an absolute cracker of a game, the atmosphere will be electric

What's the best pub around Yarraville/Footscray area to watch the game tonight

The railway in Yarraville or Mona Castle in Seddon.

Raise the bat. Get 50 inside 50s & we win in my opinion. Need our mids to continue to get that first clean possession from the middle.

English vs Meek ruck battle will play a big part in the result tonight IMO.

If Meek gets to dictate his hit outs will make it hard for our midfielders and Hawks will generate run.

I also think we need deep entries when we go in to our F50 so Hawks running the ball out needs to start deep inside our 50 if we do not mark the ball.

Kick straight also will help.

Get off to a good start will help drain Hawks energy.

Yep, I’d hate it if we lose this due to poor goal kicking.

Winning the hit outs played a big part in the result last night...

Really good pub.

Anyone else heard Jamarra a late out?

 

[TiAn_]

Looking forward to our lord and savior Bont reenacting this moment of pure joy with Sicily

 

[Snarls Barkley]

I feel like I have to preface this before I ever criticise him. Think Gallagher has a lot of potential, think he shows a lot of promise as the half forward/rotation midfielder that we've been struggling to find this season. Great pace and has decent goal sense. Also have been impressed by his two games since coming back into the team, especially against GWS.

Really worry about him tonight. Do not trust him to hit a target within 35 metres at the best of times but with 90k+ at the G its going to be tough. Hopefully if he gets it, he just kicks it long. He'd be my choice as sub from the 23 but I presume it'll be Harmes (which I think is the worst of the options, would go Daniel ahead of him as the sub as well)

 

[BrisDog]

Might duck into The Royal for a nerve settler - anyone around?

 

[maddog37]

Who is second ruck for Hawks?
