Preview Grand Final Mighty Hawks vs Fremantle - 28 September 2013

[Fred Ziffel]

Can you tell me where I can see this. I will look it up myself. Name a game for each where they kicked a goal from 50m off 1 or 2 steps.

Overestimating your players just a tad there.

For the record only Buddy, Rough, Guerra and maybe Hodge could make the distance off only 1 or 2 steps.

yeah look that's fine mate but ICBF.
Trust me . We may see it on Saturday.
I'm travelling a long way for a fantastic experience and I know our best is good enough to win.

Could possibly add Burguoyne, Lake and Birchall to that list despite the fact they are backmen. I remember first hand burger doing it at a carnival in Adelaide once or twice. Yeah I'm assuming 'taz' is J.Lewis. Over due, hope he fires.

 

[Glacier]

Has Clarko even been interviewed this week? By anyone?

Happy to hang out under the radar.

I wouldn't think Clarko would give two shits

 

[BigMick1]

Just watched Campbell Brown on 360 say that we weren't hard enough in last years GF and that all the big moments belonged to Sydney, absolutely have to stand up on Saturday and take it to Freo physically, whatever it takes !!!

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Scattered showers, mainly across eastern suburbs. Don't think rain will be a factor.

If we are good enough we win , no matter what the weather is like

100%. We've got plenty of guys that can play hard wet weather footy.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Doers anybody know which end the Cheersquad is sitting at? Or has this yet to be decided...

M33 in the Ponsford Stand

 

[Fred Ziffel]

We will see your 3 and raise you a Hodge, Birchall and Guerra. And we are talking premiership players here. Been there, done that.

That's good. We should be in for wonderful afternoon on Saturday.
Then we can say we've been there and done that..... like Hawthorn.

 

[QuietB]

Are the introducing a one step kick off from 50 if it is a draw this year?

 

[Phil McCreviss]

I love the fact the cinderella Dockers are getting so much attention. So much being spoken of about their much vaunted mids but no mention of their notorious spuds like Dawson. Also put Clarke under pressure and he shi*s the bed more than an 80 year old after a colonoscopy. Their bottom 6 will be exposed on Saturday. We learnt our lesson last year.

Mike Sheahan has just said on "On The Couch" that he has a source who claims that regardless of the result this weekend, West Coast will offer Clarko a 4 or 5 year deal to go coach them, and that Clarko will take it. Says it's "not pie in the sky stuff". Personally, I wouldn't be shocked if they made an offer but I'm not so sure Clarko would take it. Would make for interesting times ahead...

That would settle it.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Geezus , how I was hoping Clancee Pearce would sidle up alongside Michael Johnson in that drawn Sydney game. It would have cleared the distance goal post high.

Actually re-reading this it's 100% clear you are talking about on the run. Guerra did this on Friday night, got the handball from a player lining up and kicked it from outside 50....... ON THE RUN.

You have 7 players capable of kicking a goal from 50m on the run, that's pretty poor. Hawks have at least 15 players that could do it comfortably, it would be quicker to name those that couldn't. Shiels, Mitchell, Puopolo, Hale and Bailey. Everyone else can easily do it

 

[Phil McCreviss]

You haven't won a premiership yet mate. And it's unlikely you will on Saturday.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

I'm about to jump on a 7 hour flight myself.

Can't wait to see the mighty hawks lift the cup

Yeah, was watching and thought that was interesting too. Has a coached ever left a club after winning a flag??

wouldn't be surprised if he did get an offer. Be amazed if he took it though.

 

[Noneedforaname]

He is an angry man this week. Very very angry.

I reckon he needs to get fired up. He seems to have played so-so more often than not this year. We need his aggression at both ball and players.

Get angry, turn to the dark side and go all Sith on their purple arses. Make it so Lewi.

We've won 10 flags and made 17 GFs in 52 years

Your shit tinpot club has done **** all

Know your place minnow

Okay. done .

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Put you hand up if you have already had enough of the total disrespect once again this week. Never seen a 21-3 team heading into a GF being talked down so much. A lot of scolded knobs.

Make it hurt Hawks.

Much like the first final against the Swans I will be placing another $100 @ 39+ on the Hawks.

 

[heh]

Boys, boys, boys, can you not play nice with the visiting kids in the sandbox???
tsk, tsk, tsk

 

[PDear]

Paul Roos "On The Couch" tonight, talking up Freo:
"This is not a slur on Hawthorn, but....."
"Not to be disrespectful to Hawthorn, but...."

All the talk has been for Freo...I love it! Last year it was all about the Hawks being hot favourites & having the cup in the bag. I'm glad we're being perceived as the outsiders, the unloved ones. Just like the good ol' days.

My final word on your board. But yes I agree it's hard to believe the swell of support for Fremantle.
We may be sentimental favourites but you've got the record; it can't be argued.

Pretty sure the media was peddling the same shit before the Qualifying Final against 'that Bloodz Kulture'

Yes they were.

And no disrespect to the stains, but we smashed then by 8 goals

 

[smeltitdeltit]

That is true. The Freo model is kick lower winning scores and restrict the opposition.

Hawks number one goals scored
Freo 6th
