Preview Hawks vs the COLA $wans and the man they call Juda$ - it's the big dance.

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

We have such an enormous advantage in the ruck now. Pyke said that Hale is the hardest player for him due to him drifting forward. Now we have McEvoy who has been kicking bags in the VFL drifting forward. This gives me enormous confidence heading into the game now.

 

[Neville Bartos]

NOW I'm EXCITED!!!<!!($(@$)(*@#$

 

[Thaihawk]

Typical AFL, no mention of Hodgey's milestone. What dicks!

 

[Hodgey 15]

Apparently body language between Clarko and Cyril wasn't great according to Warwick Green, 3 hours of work until the weekend. Growing with confidence

Remind me never to get body language tips from Warwick Green

 

[Flag08]

Cyril to do a Monteith. Start as sub and when we are 10 goals up at 3/4 time, leave him off for next year.

 

[dipper86]

Poor Cegs At least Simpkin got a medal last year, but he is unlucky too.

Oh well, lot of pressure on BB and Cyril!

In Clarko we trust

I don't feel sorry for Ceglar.....he played himself out of the side with last weeks showing. He was given every chance to make it. he played 2 finals. Last week he was deplorable.
Simpkin extremely unlucky...not much more he could have done.

 

[HawksILove]

As I said, the ins and outs. Good call Hawks.

I live next door so happy to take requests...

Just throw your car keys to Franklin.

Can also drift back

I am glad that my baby Duryea is making his grand final debut. Is as damaging as goo inside 60m

Yea but he needs to learn not to always kick long. Sometimes he misses an open player 30m ahead in the corridor to go for the long 60m kick to a contest. Needs to lower his eyes and play possession footy. I'm sure Clarko mentions it often.

Food poising the whole team would be great.

I reckon that's the plan.

Could also be Hale out and Cegs in (late change)

 

[Hodgey 15]

Now Cyril is in I'm glad. Wouldn't have felt the same Hawks running out without No. 33 out there.

 

[Thrillhouse1985]

According to Tony Jones, Jon Celgar isn't playing, whoever he is.

 

[Gary Conan Ayres]

Feeling confident we can win, one concern is the two ins have not played with the main group for a substantial period of time. I hope the cohesion is there.

 

[Walk the Hawk]

I know he is listed as an emergency, but not seeing Sewell in the main group breaks my heart a little ... For the greater good. For the greater good.

 

[Quad22]

B: Gibson Lake Birchall
HB: Mitchell Stratton Hodge
C: Hill Langford Smith
HF: Breust Gunston Lewis
FF: McEvoy Roughead Puopolo
Foll: Hale Shiels Burgoyne
Int: Rioli Duryea Spangher Suckling
Emerg: Ceglar Simpkin Sewell

Looking at this team and honestly I'm in awe.

We will not lose this grand final if everyone plays their role.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Duryea will be sub I reckon. Don't care who it is as long as it's NOT Cyril, pointless to bring him in and play him as sub (IMO).

 

[dixyland]

Carn the mighty fighting Hawks (or mighty flying Hawks as Sandy Roberts keeps saying)

 

[Quad22]

Duryea will be sub I reckon. Don't care who it is as long as it's NOT Cyril, pointless to bring him in and play him as sub (IMO).

I hope it's Suckling.

I feel Duryea brings more to the contest when it's hot and tough at the start.

Plus, Suckling as the sub would be able to break the lines with his precision kicking when the game opens up a bit more.

 

[Samurai Hawk]

Food poising the whole team would be great.

just looked over my balcony to see a bus out the front..was about to launch into a pre-concieved heckle but realised it was a chinese tourist bus ..no sign of Buddy Wang

 

[shotgun_blues]

Tom Waterhouse offering $4 for Hawks!!! Must be confident of a Sydney victory then...

 

[QuietB]

Can also drift back

I think that is why he gets the nod. In case of emergency park McEvoy in the hole.

In case of a rout, turn up the pain

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

HE'S BACK !!!!!

Spending some of their Priddas money
