[Off The Couch]

I got married the day after the 2008 grand final.

Now that was a winning move!

I would of been hung over big time

 

[kimbopen]

PS. I think women like September weddings and use it as some kind of early test. Channeling kimbopen, luvmyhawks opinion?

Not married, no desire to do so.
My BROTHER got married in early September, only because he wanted to get in before cricket season!
Being a footy tragic, if I were to get married, I know I'd never organise it for any time in September, or even early October!

 

[Thaihawk]

Any chance you could arrange the reception at the MCG?

I was so hung over after the 2008 Grand Final, went down to Glenferrie for the celebrations and it was really warm that day just about passed out waiting in line to buy merchandise.

 

[Great 2008]

It's a seasonal thing, I think. You can get some stunningly pleasant weather around September.

I know was being a bit cheeky. Our outdoor wedding weather was perfect.

I can't remember the week after 2008

The days of being a full time student, sigh

Dockers are clearly in the CATS heads & have them spooked BIG time....Never seen the CATS so worried before a game ever!....Their media this week betrays a sense of impending DOOM!.....LUV IT

I can't wait for Crowley and Stevie

If only we could emulate that (the only thing I'd ever want to copy from Ross Lyon).

Trouble is we (or at least the players & Clarko) do!....Cept in reverse when playin the CATS....It's up to Clarko to implement a plan to shake the pussies up & out of their comfort zone by taking them off guard & by surprise with some unorthodox moves & strategies....That's the only way were ever going to shake the malaise & trance we fall into every time when playing the CATS.....IT is Clarko's sole responsibility to change this or be forever their bunnies!

Seems Carlton have gone on Mad Monday a month early. What a pathetic excuse for a club. I almost feel sorry for Malthouse (but not really!)

Your concern for Carltank is concerning!

Didn't we try this shit last year. Wrote a book about it...

Hawthorn we have a problem

http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/hawthorn-we-have-a-problem-20140214-32quw.html

Before winning the 2013 premiership, Hawthorn had to find a way to beat Geelong. In this extract from Playing To Win – a new book which details the inside story of the Hawks' 2013 flag – it's revealed how the club dealt with an 11th loss in a row to the Cats...

smack him stevie and get a few weeks off you know you want too

What's the consensus on who we want to win the Geelong v Fremantle game? I wish this was played after we played Freo so that we knew definitively who we wanted to win. If we beat Freo in Perth I definitely want them to beat Geelong and finish 3rd. If we lose to Freo I want Geelong to win so that we dont have to fly to WA for QF. So I think to err on the side of caution we have to support Geelong. Lesser of the evils.

Unless Shitney lose to Port and we win all our games first place will be tough to secure. A Freo loss would give them 6 losses and make it very difficult for them to finish 2nd or 3rd. Geelong would have to lose to Freo and us, with Freo beating us also, for them to drop lower than 3rd.

We will have to go through Geelong at some point so playing them in a QF is a good opportunity to end any lingering doubts that we are a better side than them.

On current form Geelong are playing better (although they have been very lucky to win a few of the games they have, umps cough cough) but Freo always seem to lift against Geelong. At Kardinia I'd expect Geelong to win and this is probably the best result for us.

Geelong to win - we play Geelong first week of finals, get a week off, play Freo in the prelim before lining up against Geelong again in the GF to settle this shit once and for all.

I thought we settled that shit in the 2013 Prelim... We ended their streak, went onto win the Grand Final. What else do you want?

 

[daniel23]

will definitely be cheering for geelong , pretty much rules out freo for top 2 and if we happen to drop one or two games won't be that bad because can not see the afl scheduling hawks vs geelong at skilled , much prefer playing them then the possibility of going to perth 2 times in 4 weeks

C'mon Ryan, whack that silly grin from Stevie's face. You know you want to!

 

[IdiotBox]

What with their ebola plague, injuries and general stuttering form, Port will need to pull one spectacular rabbit out of the Kochie hat to pip the $wan$ this weekend. I dare to dream...

One hopes that this game, and the Cats vs Dockers one, is a bruising, hard and uncompromising affair. Take no prisoners you premiership pretenders!!!
