What's there to say? First game of the year, lost like 8 against the Cats, longest losing sequence against a fellow grand finalist ever. This year is about redemption, bringing home the silverware, and what better way to kick it off than knock the Cats off.

Go Hawks!

Preliminary discussion was here.

'the incoherent one'..to rip it up today.

Descend on the "G" fellow Hawks .......without each and everyone of you there memberships mean nothing !

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Always a great tough game of football. I do worry about the fitness of Lake. Thinking he might go to Pods and hope that Gibbo is ready for the chop out and we give Hawkins no space at all.

Would be nice to see Cyril get some time in the middle perhaps?
I think our advantage could be in the rucks today hopefully giving our boys first use out of the midfield.

Send someone to Selwood and wear him like a glove, he always dominates against us, Never seems to have an opponent.
Shields, maybe Lewis.

I Just want a win today, don't care how ugly it is, and for the love of god... nothing close again, I seriously don't think I can take another close loss, its not good for my heart or my liver.

Hawks by 23.

Hope we all enjoy our day at the game, remember to drink plenty of water and pace ourself's when downing the plastic $6.90 cups of beer

Tittys @ the Royal to celebrate a great win hopefully!

Go hawks!

'the incoherent one'..to rip it up today.

Have the coldies on ice...............will be quite incoherent by the end of the match if Buddy has a day out.

Post 6pm post (insert incoherent ramble here)

Preparing myself for a torturous two hours of incredible footy. Cats by 1 point

 

[IBleedBrownNGold]

I would give up chocolate and wine for a year to see Buddy kick 15 goals today. Let's get 'em.

Woah, a woman prepared to quit whining for a whole year!

 

[Madhawknut]

Any rumours on late withdrawals?

 

[IBleedBrownNGold]

Woah, a woman prepared to quit whining for a whole year!

And if you knew me, I really do rely on wine....a lot.

Buddy?

 

[KAMSTAR HFC]

Woah, a woman prepared to quit whining for a whole year!

without chocolate and wine I would imagine the whinging would be a whole lot worse!

 

[apiro]

Are we sticking with 'Luke Shiels'?

Nonetheless, Go Hawks!

 

[spudmaster]

This nonsense of the past five years ends today.
Go get 'em boys!

(If WE win from a kick after the siren, i'll happily streak across the ground!)

 

[halfback dasher]

We MUST win today for the sake of my remaining sanity. I don't think I can take another loss to these cretins.
