Game Day Eagles v Hawks

[Gibbke]

This one is tough, and is the game that might very well decide our chances of the flag. In a year where the premiership favouritism is so evenly spread, whoever is contending is going to need every advantage they can get, which means home finals and double chances. If we lose, it's odds on we won't get first or second, because that relies on four big upsets in two weeks to the other four teams - we win two, we keep the position, we don't and we're either away or fifth...

I don't buy any of that "better to finish fifth" or "we're the team that can take it from anywhere" crap - it's even more critical this year for any contender to walk in with advantages, because noone is superior enough to anyone else when circumstances are level...

No cockiness here...this won't be easy...

What are you doing on here mate? BF is no place for reasoned, balanced and sensible commentary - be off with you!

Sorry...I'm really shit at this...I just want to be cool...

It will be very easy.

 

[H2F]

It will be very easy.

Is this guy an alias?

Haven't you met Shakespeare yet?

 

[Jones Boy]

Might be half decent weather this evening . . .

 

[Since 2001]

I just want four points and a win by 4 goals!

 

[H2F]

Haven't you met Shakespeare yet?

Shit that's where he went.

 

[MistyAvalon]

please kick straight and true. lots of goals. let the maggots be fair ( oh yeah)

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I'm expecting a win. I have no idea why

Because we usually do win that's why.

 

[pipcoo]

Reality is we have to Win simple as that. Midfielders have to play 4 quarters or were screwed.

 

[tige19]

West Coasts midfield is the only midfield outside of North in the 8 that we have covered, I'm pretty confident we'll get the job done.. Would love to put them away in the 1st qtr, statement time.

 

[MinerBoy]

I'm expecting a win. I have no idea why

I think it's because we are on our streak to fourgasm from this point.

 

[The Lemon]

Don't listen to them.

If we fourgasm I might just streak!

 

[Wundo]

You'd think I'd know by now.. when are late changes announced?

 

[cryptor]

You'd think I'd know by now.. when are late changes announced?

About an hour before the opening bounce

 

[Mr Lizard]

says 6:40 here: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-19/late-mail-live-round-22

 

[Qlder_19]

in about 45 mins

 

[Foxx1]

Go on with the mind set we did with the prelim last year. We win. Cyril best on ground is my gut feel

 

[OzJohnnie]

Huh? 45 mins? Isn't game time 8:10 in Melb? Another hour and 45 minutes.

 

[Since 2001]

yes!

 

[Qlder_19]

Yes 1st bounce is 810pm EST, I was referring to when the final the team is put in.

 

[JoeHawk]

Not too confident I must admit. Without Stratts our back line could be stretched. And if Gunston doesn't fire we could be in strife if we have to depend on a one gamer in Burton. I know there's Poppy Bruest and Cyril but we need our bigger blokes to get in the action. Hawks by 3 points.

 

[LuckyHawk]

Looking at the radar there's only maybe a couple of light showers which is good, don't think we need a wet slog.

 

[Great 2008]

Bingo check list for tonight...

These ******* umpires! Pay them both ways you flogs.

Geez Hill is soft

Stick a tackle Hartung

Damn it Gunston, kick the goal!

Learn to kick Langford you hack

Lol. First game live (TV or ground for ages). Had a few knock offs and am fired for the game day thread. Thx for the check list.
